I've heard that there are companies making this deal with two skis and a
cogged rubber belt - you can even get it with a gas engine. They say
it'll go anywhere and no skill at all is needed from the rider. Maybe
that's the wave of the next future after your future?

I'm getting a pair with an anti-gravity generator built in.

Oh, the horror.

We really thought we were onto something when they invented those
hook-like doohickeys that you screwed into your wood ski on the sidewall
a couple of inches in front of the heel. You could slip your front-throw
binding cable into the hooks on each side and holy cow your heel would
be more or less held down. Made skiing so much easier, it felt like
cheating.

Next thing you know, Head started making these metal lam skis and things
were ruined forever.

I stayed with wood skis until I pulled the toe binding screws out in
1966 - I still have that pair, mounted on the cabin wall.

Just another dumb**** luddite bragging about being an ignorant
dumb**** luddite.

I'm going to get one of those new ball and driver combo's. All you
have to do is hit the ball and it goes in the hole. So as you see,
it's still a sport. You have to hit the ball. Once I have one of those
I'll be going professional. I'll be 52 under every game !!!!!!

I've got one better. You hit the ball and it goes into the hole, then
jumps out and goes to the next hole and so on. Boo-yah!

I'll sit back and sip a beer while the equipment does the work.

Bring them to DV tomorrow, ppppuuuusssssyyyyy, and you will get
intimately acquainted with gravity.

Progress!

More progress!

Cool, but what was the year when "real" skiing died, equipmentwise?
