neither... in the winter... but come summer water ski all the way! oh yea!!! I ski til i drop, then they still have to prise my fingers off the tow rope.
i crosscountry ski in the winter sometimes, but that requires snow, and we haven't had much of that the past few years.

ok, back to school work...

I prefer cardboard boxes (as weedie may already know :D) THey can be a snowboard, skiis, or sleds. They're fun as sleds...you just spin around with not control. Boxes go FAST! Screw all your expensive skiis :) Cardboard boxes are available at a garbage dumpster behind Sam Goody near you! Once they're ruined, you just throw them away and find new ones; you don't need to wax, sharpen, flatten, rebind them! Jeez...

I would love to try skiing or snowboarding but it is not quite cold enough for snow. The current tempurature here in Stuart, Florida, which is about 2 hours north of Miami, is 72 degrees F.

I am a skier. Watch me ski. Don't mess with the snowplow, you headin' for a tree. Skiing on grass with the poles in the back, watch my track, shreddin' ice, bling bling. Doing my downhill thing.

Lol.

When sledding, I prefer a stolen fast food tray. Very fast, and little handles from you to hold on to as you shoot down the hill. And might I recomend Burger King trays, they are recessed, which helps keep your butt in the tray nicley.

Don't like the service, gank the tray, free sled, and totally rebellious statment!

BOARD! That's how I broke my finger. I was boarding down this hill and my friends set up a ramp near the bottom. I went off of it and nailed a backside misty 360, but was wobbly on the landing. I eventually fell (they said it would have been considered "landed" but I hit a rough patch of ice a few seconds later or something like that) and when I did, my finger broke on a rock or stick or something. Didn't feel a thing. It was too $@#$@#$@#$@# cold.

Skiing is better. But when you get good at skiing, you go to boarding, and get good at that. So by then you have a very slight preference to skiing. Living in colorado... very nice

:yikes: C'mon... you guys serious? Definitely snowboarding.... hehe
I just got a Rossignol Sultan... just finished waxing it... I'm lovingly caressing it... stroking it some more... stroke stroke stroke... lick... ugh... wax don't taste good... man, I've gotta think of a name for her... can't fall in love with a board without a name...:mad: hmmm, what to do...

Skiing all the way. I've seen too many people do head plants and butt plants. In skiing you'll just fall sideways. (In my limited experience)

Boarding is the hardest one I would say. you can't move your feet like you can Blades, and skis are just so long. You do have the advantage.

uuh...winter sporting activities... :ahh:

All the good stuff happens during the summer - running, cycling, swimming, and other activities requiring warm weather. Can't do any of those during the winter when it's -20C

15-01-2003, 22:03

ya your right about that. Surfing, beach parties, skate boarding. but you can leave the winter sports out. I would go crazy.

What are these things you're referring to as 'sports'? Are these some sort of extracurricular activities which are to be done outside the confines of a structure? Wha? :confused:

You call yourself Canadian?

-20 is a warm day for skiing when I go up north in Quebec to ski.

Around here, -10 is a good average.

(of course this is all in Celcius...0C = 32F)
