Poster: A snowHead
|
Okay, probably not the correct spelling. However a good few years ago on Ski Sunday there was a skier either Korean or similar who went by the name of Win Jack Pie.
He was skiing down a run and fell over so many times that the commentators were crying with laughter and made the comment "You could time this run on the church clock"
Does anyone know where i could get this clip from.

Win Jack Pie!
Yeah, I remember. Laughed so much I thought I'd never stop.
Was looking for the same thing.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Haha, I wish I could find this footage, sounds priceless. I just managed to find the real name (Win-Jack Pai) and found a couple of articles, here's one:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/1160995.stm
"Win-Jack Pai of Taiwan stakes his claim to be the world's worst skier after recording the slowest-ever time in world championship history.
Step aside Eddie the Eagle, there's a new clown prince on the piste."
Strange that there isn't anything on youtube!

Was he the guy that was using powder skis on a slalom/GS run? I seem to recall Matt Chilton's comment was "Well they saw him coming at the hire shop this morning!"

Thanks for the link KristinaV.
I was looking for Win Jack Pai today watching the Winter Olympics...
Can't believe that was 13 years ago! Shame there's nothing on YouTube though. I still laugh out at the dear mans name.

Fair play I wouldn't be that keen on an iced up GS course with 71 previous ruts on old school downhill skis.

Would he even be allowed to start these days? Is there a requirement to have a minimum number of FIS points to enter a World Cup race?

So did I. Once you've eaten Jack Pie does it become Jack S4it?
