any nostalgia with this ^^ 

 

Not really (not a huge fan of old westerns), but I does of course remind of The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. One of my favorite all time songs comes from that movie. It’s called “The Ecstasy of Gold”. It’s honestly probably one of the best walkout songs of all time too.

Also I’ve love current page number of this chat, so I’ll commemorate it at 16:20 PCT :smoke:

How long before I see you in one of these videos @heywoodu

 

Ah yeah, talk about 'national sports' :d Although again, it's not national, but mostly comes from that weird northern province and it's actually called fierljeppen :p 

 

Some footage of Dutch championships, although I've got no idea what their saying half the time.

 

 

@Jinzha @CCB Any fierljeppenfans here? :d

I might, supposedly Frisian is the closet language to English. I can understand a bit of Dutch sometimes too.

Hahaha, no way! I'm a Brabo, Friesland is like the other side of the world to me.

Brabo sounds close to Bimbo and I’m hoping they’re not the same thing :p

    • I think for the situation this is a good idea. I suspect its this or in the future this event just doesn't happen.
    • Suggesting the multi-city model for the CWG.   I think it's sensible: clearly the days of huge new facilities for everything are gone for the foreseeable.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/ce3lp664701o

    • 1. 4.1. Who will win Men's Large Hill Individual World Cup Event (4 Hills Tournament), Oberstdorf, GER, Sun, Dec 29th?   Non-German.   Stefan Kraft AUT has won in Oberstdorf this time.   2. 4.2. How many athletes representing Sweden will be there in the Final of Women's Individual Sprint Free World Cup Event (Tour de Ski), Toblach, ITA, Sat, Dec 28th?   Only one.   Maja Dahlqvist. Noone guessed that.   3. 4.3. How many athletes representing Norway will be there in the Final of Men's Individual Sprint Free World Cup Event (Tour de Ski), Toblach, ITA, Sat, Dec 28th?   Only one here as well.   Johannes Hoesfloet Klaebo. Noone guessed that one, either.   4. 4.4. Will there be an athlete representing Austria in the Top 3 of Women's Slalom World Cup Event, Semmering, AUT, Sun, Dec 29th?   Yes!   Katharina Liensberger AUT was 3rd.   5. 4.5. Which place will Dominik Paris, ITA, take in Men's Downhill World Cup Event, Bormio, ITA, Sat, Dec 28th?   Paris was only 31st.   Turned out we were much too optimistic here.   .........   Those were quite difficult questions. 3 of 5 - noone gave a correct answer. Wintersports are unpredictable LOL  
    • Iˇve seen many weak teams in my life of hockey fan, plenty of weak groups, but this one is truly extreme.   They´re basically still kids, so I won´t criticize or insult them behind my keyboards, but it´s really terribly sad to see that we can produce a fantastic generation one year and the next year a group with absolutely zero hockey IQ, who don´t even master the basic elementary hockey elements like puck control.   Leading by 2 goals 4 minutes to go having a 5 minute major power-play and still not win it, that is something new in the hockey history books. At least I do not remember seeing anything like this in my life
