Having heard Chemmy's punditary with Fellows on Eurosport I think realistically that is where her future lies it was very good equal to Clarky and for god sake Chilton needs help/replacing

Cynic, I find her and Clarky are a great partnership when they commentate, just the right amount of technical stuff and completely neutral even when it is her best friend racing!
I'd gladly see the back of Chilton and Fellowes. Both are extremely biased towards certain skiers and even when those people are not racing for whatever reason, both of them drone on and on about them, totally ignoring the racers actually taking part in the race they are covering. I've stopped watching on Eurosport UK because of those two morons blathering on and on about Bode and Lindsey

Samerberg Sue, Fellows always mentioned Morioka Shitsoqueshi in every other paragraph, sure it was a deal, he managed to squeeze it in context when talking to Ernst Lehman you could tell from the smugness even after 20 years he probably got a bung.

Fellows was a good slalom racer in his time and GB number1 for Atomic in the green ARC SL J turn era. Now he reminds me of a sales manager out of touch with the field.

Cynic, He was on Dynastar from the beginning of the 80s right up until he stopped. When did you race ahainst him? Now you can tell he's on Salomon cos he mentions them quite a lot  but hey it's a commercial station so why not?

Bode Swiller, He raced on them when Conrad was at Badgersports 85 if I remember the year right. I do not think he biases Salomon although they have got better since Atomic link. At one time when everyone went to Head he'd was quoted pro them

Bode Swiller, I meant Conrad sponsored him I have a picture of him somewhere holding a pair of light green Atomic sls.

Cynic, that's what I meant too. Konrad didn't sponsor him but for fun I will get that confirmed.

In the early 80's Nick Fellows was sponsered by Fry and Cowell, the company who were the owners of Pindisports, They were the importers of Rossignol, Look and Koflack into the UK. Mike Evans, was the MD, and helped many a budding ski champion, supported Nick, who at the time was in the English ski team. He got there as a result of coaching by a very talented and much unrecoginsed coach. Dave Stanley. Dave contributed to the success of Dennis Edwards, Sarah Lewis and NIck Fellows all of whom were in the English squad and move onto the British team.

Alpine Logic, that is true because I've just plucked a 1982 copy of Skilful Skiing by John Shedden off the bookshelf, and Nick is indeed pictured skiing on Rossi. However, by 1985 (the year cited by Cynic) he was definitely on the Europasport products (Look, Dynastar, Nordica) because, by that time, Rossi had gone to Salomon and Look had gone to Europasport and Koflach elsewhere. I was on a BASI course in '85 and Nick was on the red blobby ski like nearly everyone else (believing they were actually good ).
Cynic, Nigel Smith was the main Atomic sponsored guy back then - you thinking of him?
