Hey some of that sliding involves guns.
USA has entered the chat.
I don't think the US is doing very hot in biathlon
Which is weird because in biathlon you shoot at black targets. Seems like the not-so-native Americans would excel at it
That's because they won't add a machine gun version
There is a Venn diagram of fat fucks, gun owners and skiing athletes and I reckon the US isn't in the part of it that generates biathlon champions.
I live near a couple biathlon ranges/Nordic ski areas in rural America. The fat gun guys do not ski. But the skiers sometimes shoot, problem is mountain biking is more fun in the off season
No more snow reliably, where I leave in France. Breaks my fucking heart.
I'm more of an alpine skier (whatever it's called in English, sorry), but I'd love to give biathlon a try cause it sure adds a bit of fun to the whole running around on skis :)
Are you implying that all sports can be made better by adding some pew pew’s? You may have a point.
I mean, if they had to hit a target going off one of those slolum jumps...
Or you could rocket jump for more hang time. Only once, though.
Once is all you need.
I don't think pew pews are real yet. Biathalon uses bang bangs. Or maybe boom booms. Jury's still out.
