This video, I pee my pants every time I watch it. He has a few of them on youtube, and they are all really funny. Thought I'd bring some levity to the ski school part of the forum.

(This is actually Troy Murphy, an Olympic mogul skier.)
I didn't know that the first time I watched it, and immediately knew the guy definitely had some skills, and he does a fabulous job of being an absolute comedian out there.

I think I'll ski in jeans with suspenders and a flannel shirt on closing day.

That was hysterical, I laughed out loud a few times.

YES! That was hilarious.
So, jeans, suspenders, flannel, and the fly open.

It's been brought up before in another thread.. but it's worth repeating.. you have to be able to ski really well to be able to ski that bad.. LOL

love it though.. "Tone it down?? I only got one speed.. sixth gear full pin!"

Just watched his "Donny Pelletier Takes Whistler" on YouTube. Couldn't stop laughing!

He has to be good to ski that bad and still have intact knees!

Somehow his fake bump skiing made my poor bump skills feel better. Thanks for sharing.
[Wish I was that flexible ;-]

His other videos are definitely just as funny, even the one on the snowmobile.
My 12 year old daughter thinks he's the funniest thing ever.

You don't want to ski like that, you may wish to be able to ski like that.

Too much risk, too little reward.

Hilarious video, but better to ski like Troy Murphy playing himself in this one:

You mean not riding around on your tails, wearing jeans, suspenders, and flannel?
