Weird that I just posted a Mikaela Schiffrin commercial like two seconds before yours. RIP, snow douche.

Saw a special on that dude, he never knew how famous he/that video was until much later on in his life when they asked him to appear at some WWS Anniversary show decades later. He was genuinely stunned. _

Saw a special on that dude, he never knew how famous he/that video was until much later on in his life when they asked him to appear at some WWS Anniversary show decades later. He was genuinely stunned. _ Wide World of Sports indeed, this clip appearing as he says "and the agony of defeat". My first time skiing on a High school senior trip upstate, I was talked into tackling an intermediate slope by my... "pals". As was the style then, just wearing soaked jeans, a sweatshirt, no gloves or helmet and using the resorts crappy wooden skiis from the 50's. First 100 yards, I was perfect but as my speed increased I realized the impending disaster as I had no idea how to stop..at all...and threw myself down kinda like this guy did....and did a virtual catapult down the hill much like this, except the crappy bindings never released the skiis. When I finally stopped sliding I was flat on my back staring at the sky wondering if I was alive. Suddenly, a breathless ski patrol chick appears in my vision and blurts omg...are you ok? I move my limbs, my head...everything intact..and say "Yes?". Not a fucking scratch. ( ah youth) She immediately burst out laughing and said it was the funniest thing she's ever seen and shows me the broken halfs of both skiis that had snapped off just above the bindings. "I've never, ever, seen this happen!!!!" she continued. Later, I walked sheepishly into the ski shop holding the destroyed pieces and the guy is like...wtf..and just stares at the pieces on the counter. "How..did...did you...I...you...just get out..no charge... "

Did you get your security deposit back? _ Yes..not another word about it. I'm thinking they saw the damage, me virtually soaked from the snow from head to toe..and realized it was a miracle I was walking. Plus, these fucking skiis were antiques in a shitty Catskills resort, dont think they were too concerned, lol. Just happy not to have a lawsuit from a paralyzed numbnutz, I guess.

He was/is from Slovenia, accident was in West Germany and he broke his ankle and had a concussion. Returned to competition a year later. It was 10 years later that he was contacted to be in a WWS Anniversary show and he literally had no idea. Apparently received the loudest ovation of anyone at the event and everyone asked for his autograph including Ali. _
