| | Insults | If crashing against a tree is not enough to hurt the failing player, the game communicates several insults once it happens, in the text scroller placed in the bottom of the screen. This is the full list of the sentences.
Accident prone aren't you
Did you have a funny… parallel… turn
Don't get too piste off
Don't you just… love… snow
Have you been drinking
Have you got something against the ground? You keep hitting it
Oh dear - skibusters
Oh no… not again
Snow fun when you keep crashing, is it
This hill is almost as steep as Fron
Uh oh, Frankie goes to the Alps
Very good. When did you join exit
Who you gonna call - first aid
You better stick to a sledge. You don't stick to skis too well
You better stick with stamp collecting
Your insurance just doubled
You've hit more trees than a flying squirrel |
