    Is it me or does it look like that helmet would only fit a squirrel? :)

    THAT'S a story in itself. I've been skiing 38 years and assure you I can do it 'properly'. But last year I had a particularly nasty yard-sale wipeout while skiing with my 8 year old. I wound up with a concussion. It was damn scary being high on a mountain with a little kid and your body is not responding correctly to the orders your brain is giving it. I bought the helmet that afternoon.

    I'll never forget the nurse asking me who the President of the US was. For the life of me I couldn't think of it. About 20 seconds later it occurred to me and I answered. She responded, "Are you a democrat"?

    I think your helmut is pretty cool. As an expert skier i would never ski without a helmut...especially in the trees...by the way, where did you get it done?

    I did it right there on that table you see in the background. I picked out a red helmet, bought some resin shields online, and stuck them on.

    You could also wear the winter testing jacket, like the factory gave Schumi, with the two part zip out vest and the little cell phone pocket for keeping you Vodaphone in, and match that with.......LOL!

    Dave, you really need to move away from the stereotypes. One more time: The Jag runs greats, NEVER breaks. The FERRARI breaks all the time.

    She's real nice......she told me "never mind making the figure eights, let's make some 11's, and took off straight down!!!!!!

    Tamara was my fav, she gave a Victory interview once and put the guy SO in his place, when he asked abou her tough times.............left wearing the Gold medal......

    Pickabo commemorated the time they marked my lift tag with an "R" meaning "Reckless", (a warning), that's how my poster reads.... "To Reckless"..

    I told the Ranger, "I wasn't out of control......when I'm out of control I CRASH!"

    I guess she thouight I was skiing backwards on purpose, it was just a last ditch recovery after I fell over a bluff I didn't see.....

    Sorry, I thought you mentioned difficulties when we had lunch a few weeks ago. But now that I thnik about it, it was customer service issues you were talking about, not mechanical issues. MY BAD! :)

    I know a guy who flies commercial jets now, but used to fly Migs in the Air Force test and evaluation squadron at the Nellis Test Range (aka Dreamland/Area 51). Anyway, he's a Ferrari owner, even back then, and used to fly those Commie planes with a Ferrari red helmet with a big prancing horse painted on the side! Pretty cool.
