    There were two deaths at Colorado ski resorts this past week. Two

    Both were wearing helmets.

    Yeah, but those two kids shot each other in the head multiple times with
    high-powered semiautomatic handguns didn't they? Clearly, this is a
    handgun control issue, or maybe a helmet issue coupled with a handgun
    control issue, not just a helmet issue.

    The only thing this post needs to make it complete is some cross-posting.
    the CNC group might be appropriate.

  15. You wonder how much of that you can learn, vs being born with whatever it
    takes to give you that much balance, control over muscles, and a bit of
    drop-dead-stupid fearlessness.

    Impressive riding. Still, I don't think they should have traded the kilo for
    BMX at the Olympics. Adding freestyle sports shouldn't take away from
    benchmark standards.

    Mike, stop making sensible comments. When in stupid land play stupid. Anyone
    notice the similarities in the name of the musician and the poster?

    I'm sorry, it was how I was brought up, I guess. There, now I'm "normal"
    because I'm blaming my problems on somebody else. Bad parents who didn't
    teach me how to be sufficiently-obnoxious on usenet.

    Come to rbr for some remedial education. Our rates are at an
    all time low and we have a January special involving a free
    3 month LIVEDRUNK subscription. Exams are in July.

    July is always an interesting month here although, frankly, not as
    entertaining as it was during the Lance years. Sadly, we lost not only a
    bunch of riff-raff when Lance retired, but a few decent posters as well.
    That disappointed me greatly. There's a lot more to the TdF than just Lance.
    (And yes, I've gone each year since Lance retired).

    Don't know if I'd be a good candidate for LIVEDRUNK. Try as I might, I only
    got up to 3 or 4 drinks... not per session, but for the entire year. Way
    down from my peak of maybe 20. That was a pretty wild year. Oh. Right. Lance
    was racing then. :>😉
