Can't comment on the boarding.

I can.

Yesterday, on TV, I was watching a video of Kerry boarding.

He was doing just fine. Not really ripping along, but definitely very
confident and in complete control.

He's a better boarder than I am, that's for sure.

On TV tonight (Sunday) I saw video footage of Kerry boarding. He has
linked turns figured out. He falls less than I do (at least, what I
saw of him). I agree with your assessment.

Precisely why my newsreader is set to kill all articles cross posted to
that group.

It's almost funny that there's hardly any skier bashing in this group, yet
the skiers over there seem to persist in it. Now which one is the badly
behaved demographic?

Oh well... kill their posts, and enjoy the peace.

The video I saw said he'd only been boarding a year or so. I imagine
someone with a professional life like his doesn't have much chance to
get to hill, so I was pretty impressed by how well he can ride. His
stance does look like he's kiteboarding tho :P.

It has nothing to do with how well or poorly he'd run the country, but
I gotta admit, I like the idea of a president that does some cool
sports.

heh, they're going crazy over this on rec.skiing.alpine

In what way? I don't look in that group any more, and can't bear the idea
of subscribing just to take a quick look.

they still seem to consider snowboarders as a root of all evil
or something in this matter...

there was a post by some liberal skier who's now having a dilemma
at either switching his political views to conservative or
(gasp!) voting for an evil snowboarder.

Kind of funny, although I must admit I was surprised to see
the snowboard bashing still going on. I thought this was a popular
skier activity during the 90s, but long gone due to high rate
of skier-to-snowboard cross overs. I guess some people never learn.

Actually, I *did* learn.

That's why I usually ski at Alta ;)

I don't know if AOL can do that, but I know when I reply to crossposted
threads, it only replies to the group I'm reading it on, so I don't think I can
continue crossposting. Subbed to RSA for a minute just to tell them to quit
the crossposting, there are certain posters there as anyone who's ever read
that group know that we certainly don't need *here*...

Yeah, same here, and I don't see that much skier bashing on snowboard
groups/boards. Snowskater bashing, on the other hand...

Yeah. I'm sure tired of pics of presidents jogging, etc.

As a result of this picture I have changed
political affiliations.....at
least I can stop eating Pork Rinds.

I only saw a little of the video of him, but it sure
looked like he had really bad form, leaning way over
the board on turns.
