Straight Through - Les Arcs 2008

[21jg130]

Hi throwmaz,

Not at all, I have been clocked at over 80mph on a pair of ski's through a timing gate on a piste in St.Anton so would be a hypocrite to say don't have fun going fast. I am just pointing out there are many whom go too fast for their skill , experience and abilities in the wrong places such as packed pistes , near ski lifts ( where people are waiting standing still ) and when ski school groups are about etc.Just have fun and be safe. Merry Xmas

[SethCohen1000]

you drive very slowly

[21jg130]

All I will say to the negative comments is (and about skiing/boardong as a whole) that any idiot can go fast, going fast under control and wihin your limits ,while regarding the safety of others is the only consideration you should have......apart from the main one which is to have fun, iv'e spent enough time in the alps ( I have a place in BsM ) have seen the results of too much out of control speed to last a lifetime.....be safe and have fun.

@21jg130 Soo you're saying that we can't enjoy going as fast as possible? Sorry but that's part of snowboarding, just gotta watch out. I'm not gonne watch my speed, but I will watch out for others.

[Narrietoo]

Perfect vid.

See my reaction on penry1969.

[jebadier]

what?

[bristolmecca]

Thanks for the support jebadier. I find it very interesting that our little friend Narrietoo makes the 'tough guys' comment... please check out his Tignes 2007 Jan video if you want a laugh.

So tough Narrietoo... so tough... Although I would agree that it gets pretty extreme at 1:32... wow she's really pulling some G's. No wonder you're getting such huge video views (10 at point of writing)!

People in glass houses an' all that ey...!

[Narrietoo]

Real tough guys on a BLUE piste. Hahaha LOL.

[penry1969]

What? They should be embarassed to be beginners? Everyone was a beginner once. What's your problem? Or are you just trying to show how great you think you are?

[Narrietoo]

Not embarassed. But catious.

I don't have a problem. My friend does because of a loose canon without control skied him into the hospital !!!!!

So when the slopes are empty no problem. Fun is the only thing that matters!

it was amazing!!

[santanafan08]

I go to les arcs. I went in april i think. Its great snow there. I'm goin back this year

The slope from 1:14 - 2:00 is a great piste, I loved skiing on that one, I seem to remember the lift at the end being terrible though... or having to walk to it? something like that... ends up near a husky pen. Am i right? (its been a few years, hoping to go again in January)
