I would kill for shorts like that. It would match my eagle vest.

JTH - Isn't that your Dad on the right ?

I believe those "shorts" are actually a one-piece ski suit made by a company called "Turbo".  I would imagine they no longer exist, but back in the day they were used by a lot of skiers.  Rather than neoprene, they were made of two fabric layers sandwiching a central layer of natural rubber - which was kind of tan colored.  They had limited stretch and provided virtually no insulation from cold water, but they would definitely prevent a high-speed enema.

They were available in a bunch of different colors and designs; mine started out orange, but over a number of years faded to more of a muddy pink.

Richard,

Yep...

 

TW,

I am not sure if those that suite was a Turbo. I think it was older then that. Not sure.

Wouldnt  u just like to try the ski? See how it stacks up now. Late on a sunday afternoon after a few good sets on your modern technology! 

(I had a EP stiletto in the early 90's, I thought it rocked till I used a connelly Rocket.)

Tom Sexton formerly of Wet Tech? What's he doing now. I really miss the Alien glove. Best I ever used. Ran out of my last pairs in '07 and haven't been real happy with any glove since.

I've begun riding my jumpers for practice/conditioning for the last 3 weekends. Last week I decided that I'd better start using my sling. I had purchased a good used one from Wiley's a couple of years ago. Today I dug it out, and noticed that "Sexton" is written in permanent marker on the inside. Did Tom ever jump, or have kids that did ?

[Horton]

I I spent most of my college years trying to teach him to jump. Hysterical but unproductive.  I think that when he walked away from KD/BlindSide he sold all his personal gear and inventory to Wiley’s.

[RichardDoane]

Darren @ Wiley's thinks he moved back to the Midwest, somewhere like Minnesota ?

[Horton]

I think that is correct. That is where his family is from.
