Papasteeze Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Posted April 5, 2005 I forwarded the article to everyone I could think of - It appears that the local cub scout magazine is even going to pick it up. I still haven't heard anything from CB yet.. Quote
ThinkSnow Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 That's awesome... hopefully the kid enjoys racing competitively and keeps rippin'! Quote
AtomicSkier Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 hold the bloody phone here! Where is the plug for PASR? That's just NOT acceptable. All jokes aside (I wasn't joking, however), congrats! That picture of him racing is grrr-eat! Just uh, where was the plug? Quote
ThinkSnow Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Probably pretty hard to slip a plug in for a website... Not like we have any influence on his abilities anyway Quote
AtomicSkier Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Probably pretty hard to slip a plug in for a website... Not like we have any influence on his abilities anyway how dare you say that! I take all the credit for his improvment, after all, it was me who encouraged him from day one . At least get a PASR sticker RIGHT in the front of his helmet, like bode has his Barilla sticker. Quote
Papasteeze Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Posted April 5, 2005 Where is the plug for PASR? That's just NOT acceptable. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey it's the thought that counts, right? Steezemachine promptly said he should have mentioned the PASR after he hung up.. I think he was caught up in the moment. Next time.. k? Quote
mbike-ski Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Nice Job Ridge!! Great articlle!!! I added PASR team to my NASTAR profile - honored to ski on the same team!! Quote
skimom Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 By the way I landed my 1st 540 in the pipe at Hunter. Skidude as my witness. Anyone can sign my shirt. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Congratulations, I wish I saw it. Maybe next time... Quote
Papasteeze Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Posted April 5, 2005 When the snow starts melting, I start thinking about fishing.. I found this on a board I frequent in the summer months http://www.cafelocale.com/discus/messages/...html?1112714616 Quote
NJSkiFamily Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 What a great article. It was nice that both boys were profiled. So where do you go from here? Stay with NASTAR or join something else? Quote

Stay with NASTAR or join something else? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks NJSki! Where do we go??? Anywhere there is snow!! It's the Boys' call.. Ridge wants to join the CAT team at CB and I know he wants to race NASTAR without a doubt. There is the option of independent USSA stuff which might make better sense since we travel so much and attendance at CB could be a problem. Tough call at this point considering that Steven wants to get into any park any chance he can (CB's park is seriously lacking comparitively and a least favorite) - the http://www.nextxsnow.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=main.home events next year is the best competition for freestylers at his age.

poconoceancity Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 are you suggesting splitting up the boys? Quote
NJSkiFamily Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 I'm glad you're letting the boys decide this. No question that they are very, very talented and it would be a shame if they got burnt out by being forced to do things they don't want to do. Your boys would be welcomed no matter where they go. I must say how much I've enjoyed that you have shared your story with everyone. We would have never tried ski racing if I haven't read everyone's stories on this site. When we skied at Smuggler's the resort has a NASTAR type race course set up and my kids' instructor gave them pointers about skiing the course. Smuggler's calls it the "family recreation race course" and on certain days McDonald's sponsors it and its free and everyone gets a McDonald's gift certificate. The flags at Smuggler's are the type that are snowboader-friendly. One side of the flag is lower than the other. After I got injured I sat in the lodge and watched all the ski camps ski the course. There is a speed clock that posts your time. The announcer told the names of the kids and where they were from. Boy, the little kids from Canada just smoked the course. And then there were the first timers who missed some of the gates. And by good fortune got to watch my kids' class ski the course. Quote

Recruit the Mrs... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The recruited ex-Mrs likes the silent passive partner role.. are you suggesting splitting up the boys? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, not really however, we rarely see Steeze during the day. One of them is from Mars the other from Jupiter. errrrr... one is a rider the other is a racer.. I had to threaten to take the Steeze's lift pass away just to get him to tape his brother racing in PC. For a day or two, why not? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is the most likely option, Ridge will be at CB while I haul steeze to another mountain as needed, or vise versa.. Quote

skierboi Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 you told him to wear a sticker like bode does, so u should be paying him then (sponsor) Quote
ridge Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 You forgot about Ridge bedded rob at 10 not 9. Quote
sibhusky Posted April 16, 2005 Report Posted April 16, 2005 You forgot about Ridge bedded rob at 10 not 9. 25031[/snapback] What's this "bedded" stuff? Quote
poconoceancity Posted April 17, 2005 Report Posted April 17, 2005 I think bedded might mean beat. Quote
Nipples Posted April 17, 2005 Report Posted April 17, 2005 Yeah that's right it said Ridge beat Rob when he was 10 he is 10 now it should have said he beated him when he was 9. Quote
