smithski, my 230 member MTB club manages to have a forum.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I stopped posting in BZK (and to a certain extent even reading it) because it seems to have become a place either for BASI qualified instructors, or for those who want to promote their own products - learning to ski from a series of videos will not replace a decent lesson IMO. I also got the impression, at times, that because I'm not in Europe AND I like teaching kids, nothing I had to say was valid.
I don't read or post on Epic anymore - all they do is whine!
I've found that if I really want to discuss technique I have to do so at work, or by email/facebook.

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

skimottaret, It seems there is no interest in teaching kids either

^ or there's no interest in replying to that particular question ...
... wouldn't want to encourage mixed metaphors, heaven forbid, but the words "minefield", "can" and "worms" suddenly come to mind
Edit: you've got a reply now anyway ... say's it all IMHO TBH.

skimottaret, I had figured you were a Yank - I can't remember what gave it away and I think fatbob benefitted from some PSIA types last season (although I sure he must owe me a drink......!)

skinanny, I definitely do owe you a drink not least for the kind invite to birthday drinks where I subsequently failed to read my texts. Hope to hit Squllywood for some turns at some point again next season so I really must try to catch you on a day off.

What about BAYZEE Noise - the forum for discussing the level of noise each ski makes. eg: the peculiar shingsploosh of too much inner tip lead that indicates an imminent slipshy edge wanging back up the hill followed by the twang and sigh of a single spinning ski....
Or the thwock that different helmets make when coming into contact with various objects at different speeds. Eg: which helmets are the loudest thwockers at 20, 30, 40km or more. (Any volunteers for research?)
