Horton's Yearly Lurker Message

[Horton]

There are less than 100 regulars who post here in the forum but there were almost 10,000 visitors this month. So 99% of you never post.

If you simply do not have questions or an opinion that is great and you are welcome to hang out.

On the other hand if you are just shy, come on in the water is warm.

I know there are some industry, pro skier, coach types out there that lurk. Come on guys, BallOfSpray is an easy way to get your message to the masses.

BOS is here for you guys to use.

Horton posts all the time and yet he is still considered a lurker.

[behindpropellers]

They are probably just looking at the front page.....

[kona]

I dont post much but it is a great place to get info and a little comic relief. Thanks guys. Hey Horton I drive thru Barstow 5 or 6 times a year how close are you?

[Horton]

Kona, 

My dad's place is off the 40 near Barstow. I am in Bakersfield

Behind,

2/3s of traffic is on the forum but I hope everyone visits the front page first.

[Dirt]

[LakeOneSkier]

There's a front page?

[skidawg]

Being a cop, smart has the background check on jth being a lurker, horton, give smart that mid u owe him and your past can go away :-0

And then there are anti-lurkers: people who feel compelled to post even when they have nothing to say.

And then there's those annoying people who think irony is a lot funnier than it really is.

[Than_Bogan]

Nope.  Making fun of myself.

Also, looks like an image attachment didn't work?

[Horton]

OK you guys. This thread is not about you. It is hard to tell every one to join in when you guys are picking on each other.

Brent, I think you are funny

[Horton]

Looking

[JohnN]

For? 

Did you hear about the new laser guided steering system that is in testing?  I heard there were different parameters for when and how hard it corrects on you when you pull it off line.

kidding - How would that be for generating a few posts?  BTW John  - do you have any more of those BOS stickers like the one on the Z7 you sent?  My kid's been asking for one.

[Horton]

Yes I have plenty of stickers. I always seem to have trouble shipping them. The new ones are 18". I need to work on that. Maybe ship rolled up in a tube.

Send me an email and I will send you something

[skidawg]

Mmmm? A white full size sticker for my truck, what a novel idea. Small n black is not optimal

[Horton]

crap. Yes Yes

30" ?

[skidawg]

Ur 18" would be fine w me

[MattP]

I do like the new logo! I have stickers of the old logo on a few things ( other than skiing stuff) and people always ask me what it says. Hard to read but Its a good conversation starter!

[Horton]

Has it helped you meet any chicks?

[Horton]

Not making me want to sent you anything . . .

[MattP]

Horton, Yes it is a chick magnet :D I never thought I would see the words Horton and chick magnet in the same sentence....

[SM]

John, I can install the sticker straight and level on Brent's vehicle. But with the other stickers being crooked, it still might look funny.

[Horton]

Brent's would need to be upside down.

[skidawg]

Horton is a chick magnet, have u ever met gallagher? He's a stud catchin her.

This post has actually inspired me, a lurker for about 6 months now to actually create an account and post. I just got back into skiing after a 5 year injury related hiatus. 25 years old and my first summer back am already back up to 6 balls @15 off at 36mph. I learned about this site from another lurker who is so cal guy who actually convinced me that a little shoulder pain isn't a good reason to quit doing something you love.

 Hopefully this will inspire other lurkers to come on out and enjoy the forum.

Sweet!  Welcome!
