If I go out this afternoon and buy a pair of skis, best I can expect from the vendor is that they're fit for the purpose of skiing: it's not his problem if I ski off a cliff and break my leg. And it's no consolation to me if he turned out to be an Olympic downhill chanpion, I'm still knackered.
No but the ski shop would have ski's tested and be to the standard that should you
go and ski downhill you have trust in them as they have been tested and to some
sort of regulated standard.
You could go ski off a cliff but your problem.
If you were sold ski's that gave way and caused your crash off the cliff would you not
be worried. As you did buy them from what you thought was a ski shop and hey, they
wouldnt sell some crap they made up knowing they aint been tested in the flesh and
dont work.
Or maybe they dont care if they work. Who cares, let the punks but them as we
made our money so who gives a damn.
Is the ski shop at fault or are you. Maybe its both.

I used to Thai Box for 7 years and was quite good. Long story short.
Was asked to glove up and watch there was no funny stuff going on at the competition.
I had to watch and sign all fighters gloves in their dressing rooms.
I watched a trainer bandage his fighter up and he did it totally wrong and left his thumbs exposed. For non fighter's when you throw a punch with gloves on its like having a big **** on your wrist waiting to be dislocated. I mentioned to the trainer and the fighter and offered to rectify. Was basically told to feck off and mind my own business.
I signed the gloves and checked them at ringside. (Guy who gloves and signs checks his
own signature before the fighter gets in the ring, old days steel dusters n ****. New times, various concoctions but mainly talcum powder on the bandages which sets like
a semi concrete with the sweat in the gloves).
Fighet gets hurt and gets a kicking as he wasnt any good, maybe not entirely his fault.
I thought i would give the fighter a hanf taking the gloves off as i knew he dislocated one or both thumbs. Get in his dressing room and the guys in shock, his nose has been broken big style. I calls St Johns ambulance up. and tells him not to take the gloves off as their better being cut off at hospital. His trainer pulls them off anyway and the shrieks of pain literally went through me. The fighter was crying, literally.
His nose was flat to his face. His trainer told him he needs to blow it to get the blood
out of it so he could breathe. I jumped in and told the guy he didnt have trouble breathing so why do it when he could feck his eyes up. He told me basically to feck off and he always listen's to his trainer.
He blew his nose and had busted the nasal cavaties running along his nose and basically pumped all the blood from his nose into and arong his eye sockets and looed like a fecking alien in more pain with big ball bags around his eyes. (4 days in hospital).
Another long story short. The guy that was his trainer was sh1te and i knew that. But i
couldnt convince him as he had absolute trust in him. I had been tought by what i considered the best and realised that from my first fight.
Who's was to blame here. The fighter who was a nice guy but was trained by a guy who had never stepped in the ring but considered ghimself a trainer. He knew how to train people, but the most important thing was he had never stepped in the ring himslef and never even knew how to glove up at the least.
My point. T2W allows idiots on here with their members and dont check the credentials as they dont care one iota.
Churn and burn as there are always fighters waiting in the wings to see the glory.
