That's because you have a dirtier sense of humor and better bars!
Mo i Rana is Bokmal for Miami
I would love to see 'Mo i Rana Vice'.
"Trond! There's a fight at the pizza place by the old aluminium plant! We have to get down there!"
"Jaaaa... Håkon, to be honest I've just opened a beer, and I'm looking after the twins while Ingeborg's at her mum's, so..."
"Ja, you're probably right, see you tomorrow at Onkel Arne's for the pub quiz."

Nope, not going to happen.
Not saying I¨m gonna choose this over my skate skis for dedicated skate sessions, but I¨m not gonna diversify into multiple BC skis, because there¨s no need. This setup can do everything.
It¨s about simplicity. Going on a-b trips and having a setup that just deals with everything you come across. Not having to plan in advance. Not being bound down by multiple sets of gear. Just taking the train or bus somewhere new and skiing for a day, a weekend, or a week. Traveling on snow, and being ready for anything.
I¨ve done all the extreme stuff. Skiing powder at 100km/h, rappelling into steep couloirs in a whiteout, doing this, doing that. I barely made it out alive, and most of my friends died, one after the other. So I stopped skiiing altogether. Now I¨m making a comeback, but in a much simpler. purer form.
Where can we read their obituaries? Very sad stuff indeed. ..or was this a video game?
@randoskier, either @mikael.oh was conveying factual information, or he was embellishing / lying.
If truth, your comment is unkind.
If lying, your comment seems unnecessary.

Hahahahah that would be great they could bust Little Steven out of Lillehammer!
Ok my bad, I will try to be more culturally sensitive towards our younger skier-recanteurs
I need to take into account they are coming from a different perspective than us old fux...
I wonder if you remember how Easy Rider ended. I personally was against the people in the pickup truck who murdered the protagonists for being different. What did you think?

@randoskier, Dude, I was skiing in 1970 also — no one gives a f*ck.
I’m older than you are (and no one gives a f*uck) so can tell you you’re old enough to know better.
It’s NOT A GENERATIONAL THING (which no one gives a f*ck about).
It’s a HUMAN thing.
(What the f*ck is this trivializing the “younger’ generation with some ass f*ucking gay picture, anyway?!)
This is just bullish!t.
I would say this to your face if you were standing in the room.
Would you treat @mikael.oh the same as you have if he was standing in front of you?
Apparently I’m pretty pissed off about all this.
I have been sort of an outsider all my life, so the poor behavior exhibited here just triggers feelings about that.
But I stand behind everything said here.
This whole thing reminds me of: Lord of the Flies; Survivor;
And the darker side of the web.
Mikael is a real person and people are trivializing him, which is easy to do when someone is not standing in front of you.
Sure, he is far out, but I love his content and different perspective.
This is all as bad as @connyro dumping on @greatgt.
Jeez, just let people be. If you’re not into them, just move on.
But for the love of god, please don’t trivialize and diminish people. @mikael.oh was not offering humorous banter to riff off of and he made that clear, yet people disrespected his pushback on that and continued.
Now there is a situation where someone who could contribute interesting content and inspire others to maybe push the limits a bit further is disincentivized to participate.
How is that a win for Telemark Talk?
Rhetorical question — it’s not.
Do better.
Better yet, PM @mikael.oh and apologize.
He deserves it.

Did you really just write that?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
How did you get this way, and why haven't you done anything about it?
I pity you, you sad, sad "man". What a miserable existence it must be to make you write something like that.
Sorry this is a board about skiing and related fun, it is not Woodstock. Sorry that you missed the Punk era.
I am from New York City so please be more culturally sensitive to my feelings (or lack of) and philosophy. It differs from your west coast vibe. We call it like we see it.
Anyhoo- he will probably profit off of this exchange and perhaps get a lucrative sponsorship from Pampers or could even become the new Coppertone boy. That is the gig-economy in action!! Laissez faire baby!
