"The skier attracts the yak from up high by shaking a bucket of nuts, which must be put down fast before the fun begins" My daddy told me when I was about to graduate high school "Son, you aren't truly a man till you shake your nuts at a Yak."

I tried this once, but I threw my yak out!

Oooh - I see 'bad idea' written all over this, unless you are in college and drinking. :~D

"Oooh - I see 'bad idea' written all over this, unless you are in college and drinking." I am guessing the college requirement can be waved if you drink enough.

It's sure a lot safer than that other Asian sport, Tree Catching.

"will you get a bigger yak if you shake your nuts harder?" Hmmm one of the great mysterie of the Universe.
I believe Buddha whispered the answer to his good friend Bob Denver on his deathbed.
Unfortunately Bob took that secret with him to the grave!

What happens when you meet the yak on the way up? You lose your nuts.

The American magazine Time has recommended the little-known sport of yak skiing in India as one of the 10 best ways in Asia to relax the mind. Cuda fooled me! Relax the mind by stampeding Yak down hill? Yuck!!! Sometn' FReeePee here!
