 Poster: A snowHead
|
I find it very watchable. The downhill is glamour event but is skiercross the one that's most likely to catch the interest of the non-skiers ??
Apart from some people of skates in skimpy outfits occassionally having funny falls.

Skicrossers (whats the collective noun for them??!!) are absolutely nuts - muchos respect to them!

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

Really - where?
I'm also keen on it as a discipline but I can't say I've seen anything about it apart from on here from time to time...

frank4short, I don't think so.
It is an Olympic sport for the first time in Vancouver (They had boardercross but not skiercross before).

It's one of the events we've got tickets to.
I'm *really* looking forward to it. Whackey Races on skis. If one of them can leviate by spinning a tail a laugh like Mutley, I'll be ready to go to heaven.

No one ever credited the IOC for being the quickest responding organisation that was most with the times. This decision was probably made 6 years ago doesn't make skiercross anymore current.

Helen Beaumont, Cool. I've got my fingers crossed she gets the selection. Apparently we have two very good ladies but they are only taking one to Vancouver.

david@mediacopy, so I believe, unless they both get a top 15 place in a World cup event.

alex_heney, frank4short, skicross was a demonstration sport at the WO 8 years ago if I'm not mistaken. I agree with frank4short, I think it's had its hayday eventhough I enjoy watching and doing it.
