At the end of the intro to pole strap classes there is a lot of pressure applied to sign up for PSC level 2.

They also really want you to sign up 3 friends for the intro class and then you get to...

Nice work finishing off NYC. Agee about the pace - I was definitely sucked into going harder than I wanted to for what I thought would be a leisurely early Saturday morning spin.

I’m signed up...

There’s a great Simpsons episode where Homer tries to put on enough weight to go on disability so he can qualify to work from home.

Some good tips in there.

Amazing story. Perfect timing nursing that bottle so you could then raise a few final toasts.

I was on a road bike (but with how glitchy things were last night I may have been showing up on something different)

After the ride is over I'll often switch to a TT bike for my cool down - might...

Oh shit - it was a macbook...(was in the past tense)

My wife got Moderna #2 yesterday.

Last night she sat up in the middle of the night - proclaimed loudly “the rules have changed!” - and went right back to sleeping.

We even had JongSlaughter show up in this thread - that seems like a rarity these days (or maybe I’m not frequenting the right corners of this site)

I’m still hopeful someone will ski the death chute and, if they somehow survive (likely only possible if they’re from the east) post a TR and a instructional video.

Or at least bike the...

your graph is nowhere near as red as mine

thanks for the ride everyone

tgapp has been generous with next level coffee knowledge and mailing lots of mags coffee beans at his own expense - even internationally - just cause he’s passionate

And apparently his Manhattan apostles

JFC that is sad

Part of me wants to see coach’s Instagram - just so I can see a photo of that shine.

That is clutch. I’d like to know who his equipment mentor is.

You still sound conflicted. 30 years later.

If you misjudge the slopes and find yourself at risk of burial you definitely want to have a releasable strap. Better to save yourself so you can assist your partner if needed.

In the backwoods...

Well duh - it’s right there in your name

That’s because it’s not. And you provided proof.

This you?

I had a look at your Instagram (since you posted it). I retract my earlier comments. You don’t have an inferiority complex. I feel bad now because it’s clearly apparent that you haven’t been anywhere...

Needle girth is what causes pain- not needle length (cue the jokes)

If I ski this overhanging death chute I assume I’ll suffer multiple abrasions. Will I be entitled to any compensation? $1000?

"dolphin turn" was coined by Patrick Duffy in that Man from Atlantis episode where he skis a death chute. It's true look it up.

Nice work and cool pictures. Looks like fun trip.

This was in my ads this morning. WTF facebook stop monitoring my interests.

I may be smote for committing this blasphemy- but should we summon a east coaster who has likely been busy training in Manhattan gyms with a pack and climbing harness on?

This death chute would...

you get that it’s only ad hominem if you have an inferiority complex...

the fact that you assumed it was directed at you proves my adage applies. Vibes.

Not all eastern skiers have inferiority complexes.

But skiers with inferiority complexes are all from the east.

Can we have a "Pole Talk" forum so I can just go to one place for all my pole related discussion and reviews?

Nice work.

nice paintbrush you got there

since this is tech talk maybe you can tell us the make and model and give us a review.

How can I help? What can I do to maximize the chances that someone from somewhere skis this 135deg overhanging chute and films it? I’d prefer they ski it twice - once while strapped - so we can...
