Quotes by Paul Parker

Allow me a bit of philosophy here... We started tele skiing as a rebellion against rules. (Paul Parker)

Even as the sport evolves into different kinds of riders in different environments, there still seems to be a common thread that makes us a community. (Paul Parker)

Feeling a part of that community is my greatest reward. (Paul Parker)

For me, being able to go anywhere you want, with an element of precision and control, has been the goal. (Paul Parker)

I wanted to feel that precision and control and then try to apply it to tele. Thats what I've looked for in my gear development through the years, and today, tele is very precise, very high-performance. (Paul Parker)

Some will say that tele has lost its soul with the new gear. My feeling is that if people don't want to use the big stuff, they don't have to. (Paul Parker)

The best indication is that I still love to ski on most anything, from skating gear to heavy metal. (Paul Parker)

There are many skiers who have chosen tele for a more compact, streamlined skiing system. (Paul Parker)

We have to be careful about creating more rules. (Paul Parker)

What will reinvent Alpine is if we create too many rules, create too much of a scene that obscures the value of a very cool, elegant, free sport. (Paul Parker)
