Hey some of that sliding involves guns.

I don't think the US is doing very hot in biathlon

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.

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

Are you implying that all sports can be made better by adding some pew pew’s? You may have a point.

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

I don't think pew pews are real yet. Biathalon uses bang bangs. Or maybe boom booms. Jury's still out.

I mean, if they had to hit a target going off one of those slolum jumps...

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or you could rocket jump for more hang time. Only once, though.

Once is all you need.
