I watched about ten minutes of this year’s X-Games. In that ten minutes I noticed that not only is skiing second fiddle to Shaun White’s pants snowboarding, but we’re also behind those guys who do backflips on snowmobiles on the popularity bus.
What we need is our very own Jeremy Lin. Not a 6’3” Taiwanese-Chinese-American exactly, but that could work, too. What I’m saying is that we need a safely packaged (read: Christian) but racially unexpected hero to emerge. An evangelical-Inuit Tom Wallisch, perhaps?
On this one, I agree completely with Floyd Mayweather. Jeremy Lin is (Asian) unexpected (and Christian) and is therefore a media darling, and we need some of that magic in skiing.
So to wrap this up, if skiing is ever going to get top billing at the X-Games or waaaaaaaay more importantly, the Olympics, we’re going to need a little unlikely racial flavor. So somebody get down to Argentina, or post up at Ski Dubai, or just find the next Nicky Adams. (I don’t know Nicky’s religious affiliation, but just imagine a black-Canadian-Christian!) Nobody wants to see a white kid do more flippies than the white kid before him anymore.
Someone get this man a John 3:16 diecut
For those of you who can still stomach NS…does anybody come to mind? Is there some racially unexpected up-and-comer posting edits that are “ill” and “fresh” and “posi-vibes” and all?
So now that I’ve boosted BroBomb’s Baidu ratings. Have a nice day.
Alright nerds, listen up. You’re all pumped for ski season— ready to destroy weekends once again. That may be motivation enough to keep in good shape by going to lax camp or the track or whatever is you do when you’re not looking at your iPhone. For the rest, you’ve only started thinking about getting back in shape now that you heard resorts are opening. Well, not to fret. Here’s a few last-minute do’s and don’ts of pre-season training that should get you on the hill and slaying in no time.
