Did you even read what I posted?!  

I said that I HAVE done the real thing.  I did it on the Snake River in Wyoming.  It can't be compared to any waterslide at any waterpark.  

Colorado River is not a typical waterslide.  It was built into the ground and built completely by hand.  It's made of solid concrete and has many bumps and hard turns.  Still is NOTHING like the real thing.
I've lived in New York my entire life.

The odds of finding a woman who will share winter sports with you goes up dramatically if you make sure she is warm and comfortable.
Couldn't be truer Harv. Sno needs some lessons with the ladies 😉
Tele turns are optional not mandatory.

I think as he grows older they will be teaching him plenty.

So you are saying amusement parks are nothing like real outdoor adventures?

I had no idea......

It's effin 40 degrees today at Hunter, yet I'm still seeing hand warmers strewn all over the slopes, some already broken and making the snow black.  I don't use those things unless it's subzero.  Why does ANYONE need them in 40 degrees.

Action Park advertises that their Colorado River attraction is meant to be like class 3 rapids.
I don't do rapids unless they're at least a class VIII.

The 'lil guy certainly did add a je ne sais quoi to this place.  Although, maybe it was just that he made such an easy target...

Ahhh, reminiscing!

Yo, that scooter Sno posted looks kick ass!  

I went soft, in solidarity, on our last trip to WDW.  Buddy of my was almost killed in an accident a bunch of years back, damn near crippled but they rebuilt him from the waist down.  Needless to say, he’s in no shape to walk all over WDW for a week.  So, a bunch of us were down there and another buddy and I got scooters, so our friend would have some company and not feel awkward being the only one on a scooter or anything.

Damn that was fun, but our hogs didn’t look anything like that hot rod!

Another buddy’s wife wouldn’t let him spend the $200 on a scooter...to this day he is  â€˜JP, not a Hog’.

You can’t imagine the dirty looks though.  My other able bodied buddy was accosted on his hog....”you people and your scooters” some dude yelled at him with contempt in his voice, thinking someone who didn’t belong on a scooter has gone soft....
We REALLY need a proper roll eyes emoji!!

I'll wear a balaclava if it's +5 F or colder.

No interest in amusement parks.  You know, if the water is warm enough, they could get alligators in there.

Nobody will ever accuse you of not being core, Peter. For the record, I put on a balaclava whenever my cheeks feel cold.
