Buying new shaped ski thinking voila I will ski THAT way!

You mean that DOESN'T work :lol:

Reminds me of a chap who I met whilst on holiday back in January, turned up for the first day of ski school having never skied in his life with brand new everything, full Spyder outfit, top of the range skis and boots, couldn't ski to save his life because his top of the range boots were too stiff and his top of the range skis were too aggresive :oops:

Freeezywater,

You have this "mind-set" in all areas. The person who buys the most powerful laptop yet uses 10% of its potential.

The person who buys the Porsche 911 yet never drives in country roads.

The person who buys that PDA yet never uses all its functions.

So it is in skiing. The mind set is the following. I want to be the best. I want others to "respect" me and think at a glance that I am the best. Stores that advantage of such persons.


Skiers have one criteria and only one when "showing respect" to another skier. It is CAN YOU SKI EFFECTIVELY!

Watching a skier do two turns tells me all I have to know. Regardless of terrain, steepness, weather. You can not cheat in skiing!
Buying "top of the line" ski equipment, thinking you will have a "fast track" to expert level is wrong!

It reveals more your insecurity and desire for status.

Pavel

you are quite right as usual, BTW, congratulatons on reaching 600, would that be years :?: :lol:

I never realized I talk so much. I did not even realize we were "monitored"! Is that what those number stand for!

All I can say it is the drugs! ( I did have an over-dose of morphine while in hospital and some strange "people" visited me!"

I really am a very quiet, academic in real life! Really.

I will try to keep quiet and let Jan, Bandit, Ellistine et all keep chat alive!
