Well, in all honesty, the only one likely to get hurt by it is me.  But I haven't done any stooopid things for a while so I'm due.

Maybe I'm the only one that thinks this, but that was probably the funniest post of the year.

It's all fun and games until someone gets their eye poked out by a lurk!

Nailed it!

But hey, I got you to read that far.  Who's the asshat now?

Telemark Dave wrote

Oh, and Mike, the Lurk came from Sweden, carved from a birch from Norway.. I got it in Vemdalen Sweden in 1991 while I was competing at the World Tele Championships...  So it too has great sentimental value.  Time to rock it again.

Competing at the World Tele Championships!  Whoa!

They must let anybody in there... I mean from what SBR says about you

Don't be a hater.  I'll sick Taylor Swift on you.

Have you ever tried Nordic BC?  It requires a little more work than sitting on a lift or pushing the throttle on your mustang or power boat.

I know a guy who put together phrases like 'tongue punch' and 'fart box' with Tay Tay in a way that would make me think he'd be most pleased if you did.

Dude is seriously bent....but boy, can he tell a story!

Sounds like someone I know.

Hey Dave,

Do you know about the Kingdom Tele Boys?

Teleman?  Yup.  FYI, I hung out on TTips back in the day.  Though I pretty much gave up on participating after the big crash.. That was, what,  2004 or earlier? Probably posted 50 times after that, it became a shitshow...as I suspect you know..

Lol.  Tele racing had already turned into seriousness by then.  I was pretty much living it.. Hard to believe, I know.  But true.

Yeah Teleman doesn't like me.  I had to ban Ron on another forum... that's been a point of contention for some time... and well, you know who Ron Cole is right?  Plus I like to bust his balls about double camber, leather and skinnies.

Craig Dostie doesn't care too much for me because I didn't care too much for freeheelwilly... so I got the boot over at the BC Talk forum.

I was never part of the original TTips.  Before my time.  I totally would have been had I known what I know now.  And I probably would have been banned!

Dayum still got  my original 1976 lace up soft leather boots , my 215cm Karhus  with 3 pin  NordicNorm  binding ,still got my original bamboo poles and gaiters and the most important piece a gear a  buckskin bota bag for the hot buttered rum  

We used to run the Olympic trails in Placid with but moreimportantly lots of decent stuff nearby and just for shitz n giggles used to run races downhill off an old t bar  on a very local speed bump  opersted by the state no longer operating . Had a barrell o fun til they kicked us out so we poached it a nite with  headlamps on our toques  

Are you a Knight WD?

 old grainy shot from mid - late 70's

by then i had busted the bamboo poles and was on second gen poles , but the rest of it was orig . That is my dad there who started us all on this insanity  and my now adult kids , and im the goofy bastid with the stache

Love it, thanks Warp.

That 'stache looks pretty XCD to me.  I think the Knights would approve.

I go with a Fu-Man-Chu now and again, but usually to be sort of ironic







PS You can razz me all you want about that apron.  I've heard them all.  Usually it's something about making chocolate or black forest cakes.
