Baller 6balls Posted November 26, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 26, 2014 Variation on the theme...some regulars around here...who's the one non-pro Baller you would like to hang out with to talk skiing over a beer (or perhaps a Kilo Kai)? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted November 26, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've met and skied with or had a beer with a good number of Ballers so they are excluded. Of those I have not met...there are a number I would like to meet and hang out with, and hope to do so one day. There are also others unknown to me that I'm sure are great people and I hope to meet them one day as well. The charge was, however, to pick only one. I would like to kick back a brew with @brady one day. I'm guessing he is a thick-necked, straight-shooting, politically incorrect burly dude addicted to the sport who busts his butt at work as well. Have not met him...just my impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Onside135 Posted November 26, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 26, 2014 @6balls…For the longest time, I had thought of starting this very thread as well. BoS has been very good to me and I've had the opportunity to meet and ski with Ballers from both coasts and in between at various sites. My comment on @Taelan28 was more in jest…though I did love some of the stuff that dude would post. I think I'd put @Brady in my list of guys to have a beer (or twelve) with for sure. Hope to one day make it to his Lake Powell houseboat expedition if he's still offering some October when I can get free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted November 26, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 26, 2014 @Than_Bogan I believe he and I have spent far too much time on theoretical constructs that we really should share in person! I've already spent WAY too much time theorizing with @6balls and @RazorRoss3! I think they are sick of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted November 26, 2014 Supporting Member Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yep, gotta be Team Ross for me. No clue how to make that happen, but hopefully someday. Of course, I don't drink beer and can barely surive one of the drinks that I like (e.g. Margherita), so perhaps we need a change of parameters :).

Baller tsixam Posted November 26, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 26, 2014 I would like to have a few with @Horton and @eleeski discussing ski weight and ski design. That would be a pretty amusing evening. Tsixam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted November 27, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yikes is that a compliment? Anyone remember that chick in Raiders of the Lost Arc? She drinks with Belloq til he's hammered then tricks him...I think by the end of the night I don't sign the boat over to @swc5150...I end up with his ski equipment, a lake house, and still have the boat.

Baller SkiJay Posted November 27, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2014 So I'm sitting here in a snow storm in Calgary, drinking a beer while "talking" skiing with not just one, but a pretty sizeable crowd of fascinating non-pro skiers . . . all over the world. These are amazing times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted November 27, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2014 @tsixam While I like light skis, I prefer heavy beer. I'd love to share a nice stout with you.

Baller ToddL Posted November 27, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'd like to grab a brew with @Than_Bogan and @SkiJay, off the top of my head.

Baller Brady Posted November 27, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2014 Well, @6balls, @A_B, @Skoot1123 and @SkiJay and I did get together and have a few beers last month after a ski trip in Utah. I believe we have a pretty good picture of the festivities afterwards. Other than the six handles we broke, we had a great time! I am the one in Pink!

Baller 6balls Posted November 28, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted November 28, 2014 @brady no my onside is the issue...classic fat-man over turn where my center of mass...where ever the hell that is...gets wake side on approach to the ball. I drag the boat down despite ZO to like 14 mph and bury myself like an anchor at the ball then try to hang on for all my chubby little fingers are worth as the boat attempts to re-establish 34 mph. Usually the rope breaks or the spotter/judge is drilled by the handle. Cool thing is I get lots of re-rides for boat path deviation at the record tourneys my fat-@ss frequents.

Baller_ The_MS Posted November 29, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted November 29, 2014 The 2006 ski test took place at @skidawgs Wards Pond and @JD Cottonwood.

Friday night we all at @skidawgs house telling stories. @skidawg @Horton @MrJones @Greenwood @JD @Butterfield @skiep @teammalibu @Baird All telling some of the best College skiing stories ever.
