So will these helmets have bobbles on them, to comply with certain members dress code & make the wearers look normal.

Interesting Brooksy ..........

I do apologise to those reading, who may not have been party to a recent discussion. For the benefit of these readers I will take this opportunity to remind you what Brooksy considers 'normal'...



I should point out that the above photo is not actually of Brooksy. At least I don't think it is anyway :?
I wish I could meet the person who first decided to strap 2 planks to their feet and throw themselves down a mountain

'Fraid not Emma. I did have a romper suit for my first two ski trips nearly 20 years ago (in a rather awful olive green!). It was the cheapest thing I could find at the time. It had to go after letting me down on the slopes following a fall when the rear split. My fellow skischool classmates reckoned I was leaving a trail of polyester stuffing in my tracks that day! Not a pretty sight!!! Never wore one since and I don't think I have any pictorial evidence of that one - possibly destroyed to help me get over the trauma of that experience!!!

It still does not stop me "admiring" the cheesy seventies look of some skiers who still strut their stuff in such outfits!!!!


Brings to mind the filler they've been showing on Europsport lately - mainly ski & bob crashes but in amongst the mayhem one of a womens' 2 man bob who split the rear seam of her cat suite at the start & both cheeks popped out!

My wife nearly wet herself laughing and my 14 year old daughter told us off for being immature!

I trust your underwear was more suitable than the bob sledders!

In fact, I find it rather amusing to see German skiers in 20 year day glo outfits. Much more interesting that today's, mainly, drab black, red and grey pallete of colours for ski outfits!!!


OOOOOOOOH Wanderer is a closet rompersuiter. Show us a pic Wanderer go on :lol: 8)
