re: Taster

A nice well done vid, but pretty irresponsible in my in my opinion - especially on those narrow paths! Sad

Maybe ol' Christo should keep his 'championship' runs for just that occasion...

re: Taster

Ok, so it was a one-off. If the mighty Christo is so well known there why didn't he – or Ski DVD - bung them a few levs to open the lift 10 mins early, so he could avoid giving people a shave on his way down?

Christo may be ultra-skilled - and I don't doubt it - but how skilled are those people that he is tearing past? He has the audacity to shout: "Don't move" to people up ahead, when it's those people that have the right of way! Jesus, as a ski instructor he should know that! And how ...

He has the audacity to shout: "Don't move" to people up ahead, when it's those people that have the right of way! Jesus, as a ski instructor he should know that! And how many beginner skiers or boarders do you know that can stop dead and not move after hearing a faint shout like that?

I'm assuming this is Pamporovo too? That's the place recommended to beginners isn't it? At the very least he should be reserving those antics for the Tomba in Bansko – where it’s safe to assume that the people around you have a reasonable skill level.

I tell you, behaviour like that gets my goat, and if he ever comes past me - or even worse my kids! – with that lack of consideration, when I do catch-up with him I'll tear the self-proclaimed super-Christo's 'Manuel' tache off!!

For your own sake Ski-DVD, if you want to promote Bulgaria as having safe skiing resorts, just do the vid again when there's no-one around...

Word.

re: Taster

Oh great it's Boro, that's alright then - no beginners there?????

Maybe your kids will love getting taught by him - if they don't get mown down by him first...

Come on: is it just me or what? Are you guys so far up Christo's a$$ to even condemn that vid for safety?

I'm an expert boarder - yes, obviously not championship level - but when I want to go fast and take risks, I go off-piste.. that way all you can do is hit a tree and injure yourself, rather than some unsuspecting novice ...

Deaf people can ski, for God’s sake!! It would do a lot of good to shout “Don’t move!” to them, wouldn’t it?
