I'm sorry to hear that Ise, do you think the bookies will give me my money back ) :D

my fans, Sid and Doris Bonkers, are gutted and Ginsters Pies have pulled their sponsorship deal so that's 25p I'll not be seeing )

I'm so disappointed that I won't get to see you in a skinsuit now ) I could send you the 25p if you'll reconsider :D

I don't think my knee's are up to moguls anymore, but you can have my 25p to put ise in a skin suit. 8)

Though you'll need a sponsor more in keeping with the event. Ginsters Pies, I just can't see it somehow :lol:

In fact, if you want to do the PdG, no more pies for you at all )

So anyway you guys I have got some bad video of me skiing. Any comments or advice would be most welcome.

The ironic thing is I had picked up the wrong poles at a coffee stop without realising. Some poor kid somewhere was trying to ski with poles much too big for him! I didn't notice for an hour or so.

Hard to see much in the ski vid, but the bike vid is excellent. I haven't ridden bikes for twenty years or so, but I found my head swaying from side to side as you went through the essses :-) Nice riding.

Thanks Trencher. I should mention that I'm the guy in front with the dodgy white leathers. A friend of mine is on the camera bike.

On the bike I need a body position like Rossi or stoner and on the skis like Bayliss or Sheene. I think.

Which reminds me of this post a while back.

Angulating on skis is a bit like dropping your hip ala Sheene (as you said).
