The Legend of Mt. Buller

Maybe you’ve seen him. Maybe you’ve only heard about him. He’s not easily spotted in the middle of a crowd, since he is typically dressed in Buller Sports rental gear. On the slopes, however, he’s nearly impossible to miss.
Fighting gravity all the way down Mt. Buller, he has been spotted making some of the most magnificent falls man have ever seen. While snowboarding amateurs may fall over or crash into ski lift poles, The Legend carefully maneuvers his way around obstacles has he tumbles toward the bottom of the mountain.
He has even been known to draw applause from skiers on the lifts above him as he breaks into his magnificent wipeouts. Some estimate he can travel up to 30 meters on one fall. A skill set to match The Legend has not, nor will it ever, been found on Mt. Buller.
On my recent trip to Mt. Buller, I happened to get a chance to meet The Legend. He was a man of few words, but he was kind enough to pose for a picture. Look into those eyes. Yes, those are the eyes of a legend.

Those eyes seem beady and foreign somehow. (Glad to have ya back in the States, Legend!)

have to agree with the DR (but then again what might happen on the TABLE if I didn’t? almost as bad as if I made the barber mad….)

I’m shocked that Barry’s head will fit through the doors of the stadium… Throw in some boos for me, too.

I remember that the Lizard Man was a legend in Bishopville.
