Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Worse, the wind pretty much only fucked over half of 'em - and it did it three times in a row. Mother Nature just said "I'm gonna fuck you guys over - and let the rest compete without any wind at all."

THREE TIMES IN A ROW!

It was like a shooting competition where the first half of the people had someone jump out behind them yelling SURPRISE every time they went to shoot.

But, the wind predictions for the next few days are just as bad. So, they sent 'em.

Now, the snow they land on is concrete level hard. It's not soft and fluffy - it's compressed ice crystals. You now how hard that is. You live in snow territory. One dude went up like 35' in the air, was blown in 15' and blown sideways so that he landed straight on his head. That's fucking deadly.

I don't mind deadly competition, but you know... They should DECIDE to enter deadly competition.

In theory, they could have refused to compete today, but that's not really a realistic option for 'em. So, some dude almost died. Seriously, he didn't move for a bit and then his ski started twitching about a minute after help arrived. I was kinda amused.

I take it they dont practice in windy conditions and they don't have any wind tricks at the ready in case a gust comes up while they are in the air

Also, for my idea - that is the drugged up cyborg Olympics, we don't even need a new franchise.

They have the X-Games already.

These would be the XXX-Games. (And I don't mean porn. Though, why not have naked ice skating?)

We're gonna need the athletes to be old enough - but they'd already have to be old enough to be doing all the drugs and opting for surgical enhancements that make them cyborgs.

35'? Fuck, let's build that half pipe three times the size and see how they deal with it.

Hell yeah!

This nation is prime for a new exciting sport

Oh, there's no way you can compete in winds like these and actually land the kind of tricks they're doing now. These days, you're expected to get 35+ feet in the air and do double, triple, or quadruple spins while you're up there. You and I dwarf some of these skiers. Also, these ones were on skis instead of snowboards - in the half pipe...

The wind was literally moving 'em 15'.

The dude that landed on his head is gonna have some memory issues. Seriously, it was well over a minute before he started twitching. It was another couple of minutes before he was moving his hands and fiddling with his gloves for some reason.

I'm not sure what was supposed to happen, but they decided to just award some medals and sent no more people down the mountain.

I am not sure you understand the magnitude. The run is like 700'. The half pipe walls are 22'. The drop in height from top to bottom is like 500' in elevation. We're talking the compressed snow that's in your driveway after 3 months of cold. He fell 35' on his head - and wasn't the only one. Pretty much exactly half of 'em got fucked - three times in a row. Mother Nature was a bitch and only fucked half of 'em - and then kept fucking them.

What it lacked in fairness it made up for in entertainment. I don't consider the contest fair - but damned if it wasn't awesome to witness!
