Love the Rancho! New season trailer came out the other day.

Love the Rancho! New season trailer came out the other day.

I know, can't wait for the moguls and the monoski escape


I have to say though, that "66 au patin" was permanently damaging. I will never be able to look at a Rossi Hero Master without expecting a shouty Sylvain Marconnet - just please no not in an angel suit.

WTH did I just watch?

"It feels like I'm in paradise... a paradise where I s%^t my pants..."

Looks like something @Rod9301 would enjoy...

@cantunamunch have you had a Chamonix? Are they any good?

 

[cantunamunch]

WTH did I just watch? ?

You watched a french clown doing Monty Pythonesque bathos with Glen Plake and Aurelien Ducroz cameos, with retro gear, with drone footage of steep-as-sh*t skiing, all wrapped up in an absolute genius Rossignol advert.

And they're about to start season six.

@cantunamunch have you had a Chamonix? Are they any good?

Dude, I had 2 boxes of them at the Timberline group house. Did the kids eat them all before you came back in?

Yes, they are Euro-Twinkie crack.

...And they're about to start season six...

I noticed that... I've got another episode paused right now.

Nope, didn't get one. I had no idea. I was too busy skiing I guess.

But I just ordered a box... Amazon Prime is nice to have sometimes.

Make sure you see the Pierra Menta and ski jumping ones.

Oh and I should probably explain the opening scene of #10 - it's a punny dedication to David Poisson:

(He's in heaven but he's still half-fish (last name) and that makes him also a siren (of the luring sailors to their doom type)).

The badger is a cross-episode meme, Spanish Inquisition style.

Nope, didn't get one. I had no idea. I was too busy skiing I guess.
.

Then I make *zero* apologies for not saving you any.

!#^$%# So and so skiing whilst we work to feed 15 water bottle tossing squealers !$^(@#%#

Disappointingly, only a few episodes seem to have English subtitles as an option...

 

[Rod9301]

I like that vivian, his guide, said at the top, casually, it's steep here, be careful.

 

[cantunamunch]

Ranchooooooooooo!

255 au patin is out - including monoski stoke and Salomon jokes.

Ranchooooooooooo!

255 au patin is out - including monoski stoke and Salomon jokes.

With English subtitles!

That's the best video I've ever watched that involved eating Tessa Worley's eyeball!

That's the best video I've ever watched that involved not* eating Tessa Worley's eyeball! and being chased by monoskiing Bond villains.


*the potage was delicious.

 

[cantunamunch]

Rancho! Who's cutting their ski poles down to Harry Potter size?

 

[dbostedo]

Apparently the final Rancho episode was released yesterday...

 

[cantunamunch]

For those who may have missed it - a little story on Rancho's vehicle. No, that is NOT a weirdly kitted out Landrover Disco. Rather the other way: the Disco raided the Talbot for design ideas.

Rancho Webshow posted a biaography of Enak Gavaggio... it's an hour long and in French... not sure I'll get through it....

 

[dbostedo]

Bump for a new Enak Gavaggio channle/series called Penthouse View... unfortunately, like early Rancho, without English subtitles for the first 2 episodes... but I'll keep an eye on it...
