redkow97 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 My coworker is a world-class hockey player. She was selected for the Irish national team after attending college and law school there. Since returning to the states, she's had several coaching gigs with minor league teams, and club level youth teams. Naturally, I've taken this knowledge and used it for evil, and spent the last few hours making comments about how "goalies don't even have to skate," and "all they do is stand in the net and let the puck hit them in the pads." She's totally taking the bait, and sent me a highlight video of some goalie she thinks is amazing. In the course of our conversation about it, she said, "motorcycle racing isn't really a sport anyway." So if you could respond to her video (sent by email) with a link to ONE video that sells and hypes motorcycle riding, racing, etc. more than any other, which would you choose? I have been searching "marc marqez highlights," "WSBK wet qualifying," and the like. But I'm falling into the trap of searching for stuff that I find really impressive, without considering a laypersons complete lack of knowledge when it comes to performance riding. With that in mind, I'll ask it again - what would you show her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 You're not gonna win. She's a woman and likely doesn't understand the finer points and skills it takes to race a vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 You're not gonna win. She's a woman and likely doesn't understand the finer points and skills it takes to race a vehicle.She's an Irish chick who can probably beat my ass. I like her enough to bother arguing with her. Our last debate was over which whiskey tastes best neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojocho Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 You need to find highlights that show some back and forth passing, crash where they get up, etc. I'm thinking the race between Rossi and Biaggi where they are "rubbing" and then the doc gives him the bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okeefe01 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 This one is pretty cool: Ask her about Midelton's. If she offers to bring you any, you have to share.https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-5792.aspxI've never had it. Its on my wish list.

what Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Goal is probably the most difficult position to play, both physically and mentally, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 At the highest level, I could see that, but on paper the goalie's body and pads cover 90% of the net without doing a damn thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 It's all about angles, proper positioning, anticipating how you need to move and having a reaction speed fast enough to respond.Am I talking about riding or playing goal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I was just giving my coworker shit. I believe I said "you don't even skate!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
