Liam I am in the extra's of the new Meathead film in the extended Stowe Segment. Purple pants/yellow jacket skiing icey bumps at stowe. Hopefully I can film with them this year on some better days.
FYI Radio Ron SUCKS at skiing! He get in due the personality and not on skiing skill.
the reason why a ton of people dislike me is the fact I am hugely confident and see humbleness as false modesty. It hard to argue someone who is younger, more driven, and probably better than you....with that it doesnt make me right. it just makes anything I do wrong skiing less likely to bring me down. Athleticism matters a ton skiing. There is a reason I run, mtb bike(roadies are freaking lame!), lift weights, and do yoga. It basically so I can continue to be on this high horse and know that I can back it up all the time.
Bush: Since most of us here are old enough to be your father (or grandfather) I imagine that our experiences with life include some common things.
1. I'm sure that we have all met some very successful people; I don't remember any that bragged about how successful they were. And it's not because of false modesty, it's called quiet confidence. I ran across a past Korean National ping-pong champion at Ft. Riley. We had played together many weeks before he revealed that bit of information. We almost never kept score of games, we just enjoyed hitting the ball back and forth.
2. Bad mouthing other people (such as "Radio Ron sucks") is seldom to never productive. I'm also sure that many of us have seen "corporate climbers" whose modus operandi was bad mouthing and blaming others. It gains you nothing but enemies.
3. Gaining enemies, over the long term, will pull you down (even if the facts or performance are on your side). I forget, how many forums are you now allowed to contribute to? How many senior PSIA people have you publicly belittled or pissed off? Such things have a way of coming back to haunt you.
I've heard that you are a warm, giving individual in person; but your lack of forum manners and basic respect for others in your writing, negates any sense for most that you are a knowledgeable and decent guy.
