Definitely not obsessed - last time I skied was 2008 for a couple of weeks and before that 2007 for a couple of days and before that 2003.

At least I'm going somewhere with my skiing in that short time... even if you can't grapple with it or me.

Well, hard to know what to say, because clearly it shows...............there are people on this board that have spent more time just riding lifts in the last month, than you have done actual skiing in the last decade..................so yes, I guess I cannot "GRAPPLE" with it or you.

Again, best of luck.

The world is a tough place for the impaired, and you sir, certainly qualify.

BTW, thanks for the sig line.....

Patience, young padwan. The sympathies you have for yourself should not be projected onto others. Find your flow and turn your vices into virtue. Success will be yours.

BWAHAHAHAHA.................OKEEE DOKEEE.

Let your freak flag fly, and I will as well.

Are you related to Rontele?

Full of win right there....

Cheers. Too much win for one person. Now it's out there for anyone that wants it. When the student is ready, the teacher will come.

And if you look to the Austrian ski instructors, they were all looking at me.. and not like many of you.

But the future is in the style first and foremost - riding the centripetal forces.

from my portable electric typewriter

heartcarving = when this dude and his boyfriend make figure 8's down a green groomer leaving a bunch of cutesy ski hearts in their wake

So short skis are back in now?

I thought heart carving was something inmates do to make the new arrivals (asses) feel welcome...

Skiboarding: The future is calling. Are you brave enough to answer?

So, the future is kid's skis and beginner slopes?

They were looking at you because you are a giant ass muncher and your faggotry is a spectacle

Yes, for a while. But the skis are a lot thicker.

Anyhow, it's like switching to snowboarding or anything new, it starts basic and grows.

But it's also without poles, and to a large extent injuries, worrying about powder with new and better sensations.

If you're a drummer it's like switching to the Moeller technique. Better to begin with it, switching is harder.

Good luck - I'd advise hiring a parabolic slalom ski for a day and seeing if you want to go that way.

Funny you have that thought, I am looking at your avatar like that right now, so you'd have to know.

you should try to get some sponsors. great presentation in the virtual medias. they'll love you!

off topic but charles martel - that's an awesome sig.
did you have to learn to live with the white paint??

Not even close to that snowboarder who "bowed" down to the greatness of the heartcarve. Nice work man. You are winning. You have the spirit to post up essentially a 14.5 minute POV on TGR that doesn't have any powder in it. I mean the pow is there, but you aren't in it.

That singular act of bravery and freedom puts you miles ahead of most of these ballless wonders who have never posted up a single anything but negative comments about those who do post up winning stoke like this.

This stuff doesn't belong in the hall of fame, it belongs in a time capsule! Maybe I should delete the thread.

Don't you fucking dare. It will make everything you have accomplished here be totally pissed away.

If the teacher doesn't like how the student is taking the lesson, does he withdraw the whole lesson? No.

Just because many of the detractors here are balking at receiving the lesson - the subconscious has. And is better for it.

Ski on heart carve man, and if you do pull this thread - I hope every little kid in Europe pees on you from the chairlift everytime they cross your very short ski track.

Thanks... but need more likes on my vids.... haters don't buy.

carvedog - I hear you and agree. Anyone can teach a good student, right? They teach themselves.. like me. A thousand miles begins with a single step. But you gotta take that first step first. You seem to have so rock on.

Do you have any videos of your big airs?

If I had more time on my trip I would have worked up to it. There's a guy from the Austrian ski team doing double fronts at 5:15.

I'll check it out. I started to "like" your videos on youtube to boost your cred, but damn man, 80 of them? You should consolidate them to one super long video. Heart-carve porn feature film.

biff chalupa - you're a true hero, thanks anyway. (the video on this thread is the consolidation)

No sir, YOU are the hero (mine, at least). Mindblowing stuff. Keep rocking those carvers!!!

If only my uninitiated mass could have intuited the hidden secrets of heartcarving over the thousands of snow days I've accumulated in the last 40 yrs I could have left this lowly plane of existence and ascended to the great green groomers of the next realm.

Wasting all that time on those alpine skis, nordic skis, monoskis, ski bikes, snurfers, snowboards, race boards, powder boards, carving boards, flexible flyers, inner tubes and saucers, fills me with laughter thinking If only I'd spent a couple more days on the Head Liners I too could be enlightened
