I dont get into the summer games.

Winter games, I love the downhill skiing events except the jumping. Slalom, and Super G are where its at.

Ild love to see monoskiing get popular enough to become an event but I dont see that ever happening.

Did you ever see this?

Arguably the single best downhill ever.

Very impresive yard sales followed by the jaw dropping run and stats! No I hadnt seen that before, thank you.

I had the chace to run a super g course once, but my big board gets really unstable at those speeds and my all mountain board isnt fast enough for the course.

ETA: I saw he was riding Blizzards. Ild love, heck maybe kill, to get my hands on a Blizzard monoski.

Is speed skiing still an Olympic event? Those guys and gals are nuts.

I heard that GWB is the real reason Chicago lost the bid.

Are we really bitter?

I read that article too Richard, and that wasn't given as the reason
Chicago lost their bid.

Just curious...where was an article that suggested that?

I didn't read anything on it. I just heard it on a Sunday morning talk show and thought it was an astute observation.

Dana Perino is pretty hot. I'd like to see what's in her monring briefings.
