OK, I know you are asking yourself, “But how can I help the racer ex community thrive? Or, “What’s in it for me?” This is the place where it all comes together, where you can vent or rant or set the record straight or simply take trip down memory lane. If you want to discuss or opine on a topic this is a place to start.
I’m not blog savvy in any way, and think there are much better uses of people’s time, BUT in a nod to full disclosure I am writing another book (this time about skiing) and I for one am interested in all your stories. I have no idea how this will all shake out, but it will take some usable form at some point.
Some good fodder:
Formative, entertaining, memorable or otherwise significant aspects of ski racing (or any sport), as a participant at any level–fan, spectator, parent, coach, groupie, etc…
Hall of fame: The best and worst of coaches, roommates, training methods, gear, etc…
Trips from hell: 8 hours across Italy and up a dead end pass, stuck in Miami for two days with nothing but winter clothes, 80 mph on narrow roads in a Passat with one windshield wiper and no defroster, 10 days on tour in a station wagon with an annoying passenger that ate too much dried fruit. Let’s hear ‘em.
Let ‘er rip on anything, but keep it clean and respectful. You can always call me with names and details!
