    We see this a lot with skiing. I grew up working at mountains to afford it and my equipment is decent.

    Then Joey (not sure where the name originated) will bomb past you on $5000 worth of equipment and end up in traction after wiping out on the first icy patch they see.

    So the word we use is a Joey.

        Could be, one of the guys at the mountain was a kiwi. Maybe it was Australian related.
