This might be the best poll ever on BOS...

[Mastercrafter]

Regardless of who, I bet it'll be this year. A lot of talent knocking at the door. I'm also curious to see what Nate gives us to talk about, after his 3? @ 9.75 in a non-record event last year.

[Than_Bogan]

I'd say Caldwell is "closest," but there's so much more room to improve when you're young, so I am guessing with youth.

 

Rooting for Adam though!!

[ColeGiacopuzzi]

Joel Poland hands down.

[Jody_Seal]

I Cale Burdick needs to be added to the list..

[jjackkrash]

Joel Poland on his trick ski with flips.

[Horton]

I love the fact that @adamhcaldwell voted for Cole McCormick

[rockdog]

Joel Howley.

[lpskier]

@ColeGiacopuzzi So if/ when Joel runs 41 for the first time in a tournament, will he inside hand drag at 6 ball?

[6balls]

Pulling for the old guy with experience!

[pcmcon729]

I had the pleasure of watching in person, both Andy and Jamie run 41. I also pulled Jamie past 4 in a non-record. My vote for the next skier to complete the pass, is Adam. He positions himself the best with his high percent of 39's, combined with his ability, and his willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Yup, Adam.

[Wish]

Caldwell….Cause getting that extra half buoy with only one foot on the ski seems next level determination.

[Jody_Seal]

Regina!

[scoke]

LOL. Adam Caldwell won’t be the first in 2022 nor will he run it in 2022 in a Record tournament.

 

If you 29+ fanbois adamantly want to fight me over my statement, how about a friendly wager or two? Let’s talk terms and lay some odds!! We can start a new thread if needed. Bring it.

[skierjp]

@scoke You may be right. Getting good Sure Path numbers good be a challenge.

[Horton]

@scoke it is not even odds that anyone will run their first 41 this season.

 

I'm a gambling man so I would be willing to wager that if one or more skiers runs their first 41 in a class L or R this season Caldwell will be one of those skiers.

 

The odds are in your favor so if Caldwell gets it done you owe me a bottle of "Oban 14 Year Single Malt". If anyone runs 41 by the end of the season and Caldwell does not I owe you something like a bottle of Woodford Reserve.

[scoke]

"would be willing to wager" A CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED!!

 

Phew, reading your terms, I couldn't follow and it made my head hurt. I am a simpleton. Let's narrow this down and shake hands.

 

Adam Caldwell will not run 41@36 in a E-L-R tournament between today and Nov. 1st, 2022. This requires a good boat path "green" at 39 and 41. Disallows Trophy Lakes or Jeff Gilbert driving.

 

I'm laying 2 to 1 odds here too:

if he does complete it, I ship to the left coast, your house:

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/oban-14-years-distillers-edition/p151976

 

If he does not you owe me:

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/canadian-whisky/crown-royal-vanilla-flavored-whisky/p58394 1.75L bottle.

 

 

Deal?

 

Any of you other 30+ voters want in on the action?

 

[Horton]

@scoke I'm good except for your stipulation about the driver and Trophy Lake.

[Stevie Boy]

Dane Mechler has the tools required, not as tall as some of the others, but I still think he could give it a good shot.

[skialex]

I think Adam Caldwell, is the best candidate, from what I have seen last year, he is capable of running it. But it could be someone from the old continent… young and promising, that I’ve seen him running it in practice…( I know practice doesn’t count and for a good reason). I know that someone coming out of the blue and running it is odd, but it can happen…

[Mastercrafter]

@Stevie Boy Dane has run 41 in a run-off

[Horton]

@Stevie Boy at worlds

[APB]

How is Danes name not in this survey? Dane is my vote.

[MISkier]

@APB, because his name is included in the list of those already considered to have run it - because he did. Check the very first post in this thread where the list of successful 41 off skiers is shown.

[Bruce_Butterfield]

@scoke I’m in! Caldwell will knock out 41 in ELR this year, But same as Horton, no stipulation on site or driver.

 

At least there is a quantifiable criteria for this wager?

[Web]

I'm pulling for TGas adding to his run-off pass. That asterisk is GONE!!

[Stevie Boy]

Missed it on the list, sorry my bad, apologies to Dane Mechler

[Dirt]

@scoke I will take your bet but only under the following terms:

If I win you supply the scotch.

If you win I provide you 1 can of Olympia Beer but only if he runs it in CA, OR or WA on a Friday and MS is allowed back in the forum.

Seriously almost any one of them could do it. Cole or Hazelwood for top choices

[DavidN]

Jakob Bogne

[Mastercrafter]

Yeah, impressive skiing by Jakob today.

[scoke]

Player 3 has appeared in the room!! How exciting, now we are getting somewhere.

 

Ok I have updated the terms.

 

Adam Caldwell will not run 41@36 in a E-L-R tournament between today and Nov. 1st, 2022. This requires a good boat path "green" at 39 and 41. Disallows Trophy Lakes or Jeff Gilbert driving.

 

I'm laying 2.5 to 1 odds here AND taking on two friendly competitors too:

if he does complete it, I ship to the left coast, your house:

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/oban-14-years-distillers-edition/p151976

OR

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/bruichladdich-21-year-old/p31192

 

If he does not you owe me:

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/canadian-whisky/crown-royal-vanilla-flavored-whisky/p58394 1.75L bottle.

 

 

Deal?

 

Any of you other 30+ 29 32 voters want in on the action

[Adam Caldwell]

I was planning to wait till I was actually 41 years old to run it in 2023.

 

I guess Ill just go ahead and do it this year instead. Who else wants to get a nice bottle of Scotch Whiskey from scoke?

[Horton]

@scoke Trophy is his home site. I assume it is also where Caldwell skis most of his tournament rounds. If doing at Trophy does not count then I am out.

[Bruce_Butterfield]

@scoke there is absolutely no reason to disallow trophy lakes. Its the home of several approved world records and is one of the best sites in the country. Is Trophy Lakes somehow "cheating" or illegitimate?

 

If you don't agree to that, I'm out as well.

[Horton]

to be fair I am willing to admit that that site does have a bad reputation from 20 years ago.

 

I'm pretty sure @adamhcaldwell is the kind of guy that would not want a big score in the books if it was not 100% legit.

[Than_Bogan]

I didn't actually vote for Adam (hm, I guess Horton didn't either), but I could see joining this bet. I don't bet for profit, I bet for fun. And while I would most likely lose this one, it would be DAMN FUN if I won. In lieu of expensive disinfectants, my prize would be to bring it up constantly in all context regardless of whether it had anything to do with the topic at hand. But of course I can't do that unless I actually enter the bet and I actually win!

 

So if the Trophy Lakes limitation is removed, I will seriously consider it.

[Bruce_Butterfield]

@scoke I'm confused. You marked "Awesome" on both Horton's and my posts that Trophy Lakes has to be a valid site, just like any other L/R tournament. Are you just relieved you found a way to weasel out of the wager you initiated?

 

Your first post was "LOL. Adam Caldwell won’t be the first in 2022 nor will he run it in 2022 in a Record tournament."

 

Then you attempted to walk it back with the completely unreasonable stipulation that a well qualified senior driver and a world class site don't count.

 

On the other hand, I can't say I blame your effort. You would be buying alot of expensive Scotch.

[lpskier]

@scoke Shelby: Your terms eliminate three pro tournaments, The Trophy Lakes Pro by Denali, June 11-12, The Malibu Open, September 3-4 and the Miami Pro, November 4-5. The first two are at Trophy Lakes and the third is after November 1. What are you worried about?

[Horton]

@lpskier He's worried about losing. I don't think he understands that a half the fun of gambling is the risk.

[Stefan]

Jakob Bogne

[scoke]

Been salt mining, I’m back. Phew looks like things have been spicy and the natives are restless for sure!!

 

At 40 years old, running 41 off, that would be an accomplishment. Very fun.

Let’s make it interesting!!

 

2 Rounds Record capable, Saturday May 14th, Okeeheelee

2 Rounds Record capable, Sunday May 15th, Okeeheelee

 

You won’t run 41@36 between the 4 rounds that weekend, if you do it would require a good boat path "green" at 39 and 4.

I’ll lay some sick odds here:

If you DO run 41 either round, I’ll be the first to congratulate you on the shoreline with $300 cash. You can shake my hand and tell me to “F off” with a smile off course.

 

In addition, I’ll ship to John Horton in California either:

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/oban-14-years-distillers-edition/p151976

OR

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/bruichladdich-21-year-old/p31192

ALSO, I’ll ship to Bruce Butterfield in Texas 1 of the above as well.

 

If you don’t run 41 either round, I get to autograph the top of your ski with a silver sharpie and have my photo taken with you holding it. That’s it.

 

Heck, we’ll put you up in our rental apartment for free which is 2.4 miles away from the site. We’ll have it ready for you Thursday night through Sunday. (no shenanigans from us on the free place to stay).

Deal? IM or email me and I’ll send you my address and phone number!!

Now we are having fun.

 

[Than_Bogan]

@scoke I'm fairly sure you've lost your mind, but at least in a very entertaining way!!

 

If you wanna get back to actually betting about whether Caldwell runs 41 in 2022, ping me as I may still be interested.

[Jody_Seal]

@scoke

funny stuff right there! i would not take you up..

i never win anything!

[Adam Caldwell]

@scoke - You and Chris Rock have a lot in common.

[scoke]

Not a joke. Registration is open until May 7th.

 

Offer stands. Text me and let's get this locked in!!

 

[Bruce_Butterfield]

@scoke nice to see you are still trying to weasel out of YOUR original bet that Caldwell won’t run 41 in 2022. Are you really that averse to buying good scotch?

[AdamCord]

@scoke so we went from @adamhcaldwell won't run 41 at all in 2022, to it will only count if he runs it at a specific tournament of your choosing? Has anyone ever run 41 at Okeeheelee before?

[Horton]

 

 

 

[Dirt]

Isn’t Chris Rock 4’11 and scoke is 6’9”?
