Baller Than_Bogan Posted October 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have plenty of criticisms of that guy's ski technique, and I don't know how he thinks he's qualified to write about leverage position, but MAN is he rockin' that goatee!

Baller jhughes Posted October 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2012 What a great idea this is marketing-wise. I love hearing about products from fellow skiers/peers. Nice video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted October 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2012 @Chef23 I assume you mean "Ya know, I should really grow a goatee like Than's." Anyhow, I won't carry this crazy beard into the tournament season next year, but I'm still a bit entertained by it, and my youngest still wants to braid it, so it's gonna get even a little more ridiculous before it sees its merciful end. Best thing about the ridiculous beard midlife crisis: One day, you just shave it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted October 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2012 @scotchipman Thanks! All of my good skiing came in practice (especially on days with spectators) and at Regionals. My other tournaments ranged from disappointing to "wtf was that?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rayn Posted October 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2012 I am not sure I heard what he said; the goatee distracted me. Was @MikeT hiding in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller fu_man Posted October 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2012 @than_bogan Nice video. I recognize the "Goode" background music, but the video is missing the Goode smoke intro and Dave Goode himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted October 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2012 @fu_man Yeah, I don't quite rate Dave Goode himself flying across the country to my practice site! But he was incredibly helpful to me in getting the ski set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dthate Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Great skiing Than and thanks for your great information on N1, I shaved my goate about a month ago after having for about 15 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller fu_man Posted October 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2012 @than_bogan OK, OK, but at least they could set you up with the smoke intro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RichardDoane Posted October 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2012 @than_bogan - I generally don't watch the propaganda videos that Dave Goode puts out, but since it was you, a fellow baller, I couldn't help myself. Congrats on a small portion of your 15 minutes of fame, and great skiing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted October 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2012 @ripa38 I am flattered that you think I have the production skill to make something like that! But anyhow, for better or for worse, it is serious. The only "fake" thing about it is that it took me two tries to run the -38. But in the past, I've run on the order of 1 per 400 attempts, so that day was truthfully quite awesome. And @Horton's implication (I think) is correct as well -- there's no way this would have happened without BallOfSpray. Without that "credential," nobody, least of all the folks at Goode, would have been interested in hearing what I had to say about a ski.

ripa38 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 In that case it is pretty cool. Can't wait to ski with Horton and see how many shades of green he has turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rfa Posted October 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2012 I don't know @Than well enough to comment on the goatee, other than to say it was a little more "trimmed" when we talked at regionals...great skiing my friend (on the video and yes, at regionals...), and great site you have there now that I finally skied it this summer.

Administrators Horton Posted October 19, 2012 Administrators Share Posted October 19, 2012 That goatee is real? Holy crap! That is worse than my hair.

Baller Than_Bogan Posted October 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2012 And that was a month ago... Best line about it came from the founder of my company, who only knows me a little and hadn't seen me in a couple of months (but is never shy to say what is on his mind): "That is the most fake-looking actual beard I have ever seen."

Chuck_Dickey Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Speaking of throwing off your balance, I wonder how much water weight effect Marcus Brown with his dreds? Not bagging on is dreds, just wondering how it might affect his center of gravity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PT Mike Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 I told Than he looked like Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters with the goatee. He just looked at me kind of funny.

Razorskier1 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 @Than -- very cool video! Congrats on some great skiing! I love watching video shot from the boat, especially -38. Why? Because -38 is short enough to be impressive, yet long enough that when you run it right (like you did) it looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
