b/c dogs are a helluva lot smarter than humans when it comes to 'being'. Wearing a gopro is akin to the rich wanna be on a Cervelo.

I worked on a Cervelo tri bike today, what a crappy stack of tubes.

Actually probably just got off the Max. Bike to Hollywood Max station, Max train to Gresham station, Sandy shuttle from Gresham to Sandy, Hitch up from Sandy. Bike/Train/Bus/Hitch/Ski/Hitch/Bus/Train/Bike.

Actually, that looks like it might be him in the flesh.

**TahoeJ** · 07-21-2012, 06:35 PM

Nah, too old. But I wouldn't be surprised if he turned up in New Zealand (I mean, if he's going all the way down there why would he ever go to Australia for skiing when he could go to Wanaka or Queenstown?)

Truth TahoeJ. Any man with some real re$ources would hit Qtown.

Totally saw him "training" at snowbird last season.... and then found this thread 6 months later

Guy in white looks like he wants to headbutt the guy in red (if he wasn't holding a sandwich)

Question:
I turned a friend on to the GSA last week. I was under the impression that the original GSA was the same guy training for Alaska at Morgan Stanley. My friend says it was two different people. Who is correct?

Also, the photo from the MS gym seems to have disappeared. Why?

thanks
KJI

**stuckathuntermtn** · 07-25-2012, 09:23 AM

There has been some litigation behind the scenes. My guess is that he can claim that gym is a private place and therefore has the right to privacy. Which is technically true, I guess, even with the giant windows. Which is silly.

**TahoeJ** · 07-25-2012, 10:10 AM

KenJong - you are correct. There's only one true GSA.

Fair enough about the gym being a private place, I suppose.

**splat** · 07-25-2012, 10:24 AM

The GSA will be back. Trust me.
Until then, try not to worship false GSAs.

**MJbumper1121** · 07-25-2012, 10:49 AM

If I had my gear strapped to my back while slaying the stairmaster in preparation for Alaska at the workplace gym, you bet your a$$ people would be snickering while snapping pics/vid AND giving me shit about it daily. Sometimes, training for Alaska is worth the snide remarks and ridicule from the same folks who sit at home eating ice cream and crying while watching "America's next top model".

GSA needs to forget about the peons and continue making skiers' dreams his reality (aka, slaying pow in alaska)!

Spancered by PMGear?

**splat** · 07-25-2012, 11:37 AM

No, he won't be spancered by PM Gear. As much as I'd love to spancer him.

But I did have coffee with him at Starbucks a couple weeks ago and I would have to say that any rumors that he's a dick can be put to rest. There is also an amazing story to be told about him but that will come on his schedule not ours. I expect him to be living the dream for a long time and possibly taking some of us along for the ride. He's actually a really nice and really awesome dude. And his gf is beyond smokin hot.

spook · 07-25-2012, 11:40 AM

good thing there's 80 pages of dicks ridiculing him. oh right. worshipping him in good fun, just like any of them would enjoy.
