one other thing . . . .

XC ski racers are the tri-geeks of winter sports. need proof ?? how about a revolutionary new ski that does away with that pesky part which actually makes it a, you know - ski ?? behold:



so we have a hi-end racing ski that you can't use it it snows out. i wonder what would happen if they they let these guys loose, revolutionizing say, the "boat" !! perhaps they could do away with that wasteful tall, long, pointy bit at the front of these "boats"and replace all that with a keen space-age hole, instead.

Dude - that's a speed hole! I've got rust edged ones on The People's MiniVan and that thing'll do at least 70!

If they wanted to drop weight, they'd make the hole the length of the ski.. then you'd really have a lightweight something or other.

call me when tri heads take the wheels off their bikes.

If they were real tri-geeks, they would put globs of peanut butter on those fancy carbon planks.

I never thought about that, time to get the dremel tool out.
