REQ: Snowboarding pics

REQ: Snowboarding pics

alt.ascii-art · 7 messages · 28 Nov 1997 - 2 Dec 1997

I was wondering if any of you ASCII artists would attempt to help me get a
small (about 5-8 liner) ascii pic of a snowboarder. Perhaps even a theme,
like added snowboarding jumps, halfpipes, tricks, etc. Heres one I found
and "stole" off somene's Ive seen(below). This may give you ideas. Any
larger pics would be cool too but might not be suitable for my signature
file. Looking forward to here back from someone.

Hmmm.....

This one looks a bit insecure:

         O/
     \ _/\\
    \  _ _\)  
      ( /./
       `. |.
         `._)


This one is better:

         __.O
     \    //\_
    \  _ (/  
      ( /.\
       `. |.
         `._)


Kicking up some snow:

          _/\ \
         __ _) 
   ` ` .'_.'_
  `  ` `.____)


Leaning a lot:

      O__
     _/`.\   
         `=( '   
          
Jumping, holding on to the board with one hand:

One of them was me... When we got halfway down the saucer suddenly spinned
around and we ended up going _over_ the bump - backwards - straight into a
