Baller Razorskier1 Posted September 26, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 26, 2011 In line with Horton's opener. Background: my wife has skied for 22 years, but only did one year in the course about 10 years ago. At that time she could run 28 and 30, and get some buoys at 32mph (15 off). My son just left for college, so she decided to use his time slot to ski the course again. This was about 5 weeks ago. So her first day she makes some 28s and feels pretty good. Not long after, she has a day were she makes six 30s in a row. She is super pumped. Last week she makes some 30s, and runs a 32! Now she is really thinking this is a great sport. Then this morning happened . . . She misses her opener at 28. Makes the next one but it's sloppy. Runs a couple more and wants to speed up. 28 is too slow she says -- making bad habits waiting for the ball. Up to 30 we go. Misses first one at 4 and rides out. Misses second at 6 and rides out. Then a mix of misses and makes. Runs through 5 and misses. She throws the handle and lets out a yell. I come back and the ski is still on. She says, "I can't wait until ski season is over -- this is stupid! Now pull me up!". Clearly she's become a course skier -- cuz we've all been there!

Baller Not_The_Pug Posted September 27, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 27, 2011 Here is one I use on the wife: Me: I want a new ski. Her: You don't need a new ski. Me: I know, if I needed a new ski, I would already have a new ski, I just want one! Saying work with anything I want, doesn't mean I always get it.

Baller fu_man Posted September 27, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 27, 2011 Lucky with his southern accent impersonating a British accent: "Millitree, Millitree, Why do the British talk like that? We say Mill-i-tair-ee. Don't you say it like that?" Me: "yes" Lucky: "They talk like they got marbles in their mouth." Me: "Why don't you ask Andy, he's British?" Lucky:" You know I can't understand half the stuff that guy says.......but he can't understand half the stuff I say either." So many Lucky quotes, so few that are fit for print....

Baller_ lpskier Posted September 27, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted September 27, 2011 Lucky is my favorite coach, but this is not a Luckyism: "Strong like bull, smart like tractor." I heard this at a high school graduation awards dinner. Fortunately, they weren't describing my son. My favorite Luckyism: "You know when you are drivin' down the road behind a pick up and its got like a bucket or somethin' rolling around in the back and you are just waitin' for it to fall out? Well that is what I'm thinkin' about watchin' that guy ski." Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted September 27, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 27, 2011 My one Lucky-ism that I can print - "You gave $700 for that ski? You're only using about $150 of it...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted September 27, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 27, 2011 I heard another one that came from Jeff Rodgers while he was waiting his turn on the dock at a pro tour stop years ago in southern Florida. It was really hot and there was a delay and he said "If they don't hurry this thing up ahm gonna blister." Everybody cracked up but Jeff was serious.

Baller Razorskier1 Posted September 28, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2011 To Lucky's credit, it was after skiing with him and learning his technique (which I have since quit using) that I ran my very first 35 off passes some 10 years ago. Funny thing about Lucky was there were lots of Brits at his place then, and they all LOVED HIM. I like him a lot, but it does take a thicker skin to ski with him than with some other folks I've learned from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted September 28, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted September 28, 2011 I just spit out my dinner on that one! Although I had a student one time that we called "Butt Babe" for the same reason. Lucky says some funny things, but he is a very sincere guy. He can say what he wants to me, I'll ski with him any time. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
