or John Symms or what ever his name is.

seeing that simmers is become a troller on NS today i thought we could share highlights in a thread of all the great things he has contributed to skiing. it is looking like he wished he never got dropped by the ski world. Also, it must suck for him being a doctor now and so he hangs out on NS.

i submit Jon aka Lil' Horsey's rap that battled All-Star over Warren Miller. I mean john killed it with his bars.

With so many options in this survey, you are unlikely to receive enough responses to produce any statistically significant data.

I thought Orage was fucked after what they did to their street skiers last fall. Now that I know they once dropped that poser ass Sims I kinda think they're cool again.

Well it sure doesn't include some whiny n00b bitch who joined NS half a decade after Bush Jr. illegally invaded a sovereign nation.

This my friends, is a full grown gaper in all its glory. Revel in its idiocy... become bewildered in how age doesn't correspond to wisdom but rather the exact opposite.

Let's be honest here. Half the kids giving John a hard time probably aren't aware of a time when Salomon used foam cores.

Completely agree. More Symms, Boyd Easley, Bibby and Volurez as well.

To tell you the truth I didn't even check any of the accounts, so I had no idea who it was. I could just smell it so I called it. There's others in here too, but I'm not checking 'em for fun.

Alias away, sorry was supposed to be more funny. Tone doesn't transfer on the internet.

I think that you are one of the coolest people and it means a lot to me that you say such positive things about me. I saw your documentary about women's skiing and I thought it was amazing. It was a powerful look behind the scenes of one of the most fiercely competitive sports in the world.
