Spoken with a Scots accent it has that little extra edge :lol:
In other words they are conforming to their belief that they are non-conformists? :shock:

Love it!!! :lol:
I'm just back from Fernie and was ski-ing with some young 'dudes' and that was the gibberish they were speaking!!!!
Isn't it great to find that nothing much changes. I remember the punk days of the late 1970's when the youth of the day thought they were being individual and different. That youth are now todays professionals who cant believe how idiotically they behaved!!
So todays (snow)punks talk in this ridiculous gibberish to try to prove how independent and different they are and it just sounds moronic and formulaic. Trouble is, they think they are cooooool! :shock:
I dont think there is any chance of them becoming tomorrow's professionals!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil:
Call me old fashioned but I think there is too much low life 'culture' sneaking into North American snow sports. I think I will stick to traditional European resorts in future.

It's all human nature.
So when my scouse, now Kiwi, ski buddy and I were working in Niederau, about 90 years ago, he was all talk, about purple wax v red wax, or was it blue. Me, knowing nowt, would try to shift the ground to banjo or blues music. Anyway, I could never match him on ski stuff, he had three seasons start on me.
He returned to Niederau this season, early March, his first winter visit since 1974, our last season together. It was a great meet up, the 4 of us from way back, and all of the next generation of young eagles, all together. They all had 2 weeks, I had three. Anyway, I digress.
Fair to say, that living in NZ is not conducive to a continuing ski life. OTOH, skiing 500km a week, for loads of weeks per season, definitely is.
I confess to steering the conversation a little. I let it slip that I had my edges sharpened ~ twice in two days. And that I had requested an 88 degree cut. (Thanks Trencher!) Arghh, revenge!
