    Crazy Old Man

    randy and i were on the warners lift. bunch of 10-12 yrs old snowboarders literally pushed to the front of the line. there was a long line of ski jammers but they just pushed to the front of the line. one of the instructors told one kid to get behind his group. randy and i were in the alternate line and next after the ski jammers. somehow i just knew that little sh!t and his friends were going to bud in front of us. i moved my board forward and stuck my arm out. the kid tried to push forward into my arm. i leaned over to him and said "get back, we're next". after randy and i got on the lift the kids were in the next chair behind us yelling at me, "hey guy in the red!!!". i couldn't hear what they were saying with helmet on. just ignored them.

    in retrospect i should have just let the kids go ahead. since i don't have kids i don't think things through, i just react.

    growing up i never smarted off to adults. wtf!

    A few years ago I had a kid (about 12) squeeze through between my wife and I to get to his buddies, I said "HEY!" and he just said "Whatever". He planted his pole on my board and tried to push a couple of times, then tried to move his skis which put the edge down the side of the nose of my board.... I leaned forward and said to him very calmly "Here, let me help you". I then picked him up and threw him in a snow bank about 6 feet away, out of the line.

    I didn't think it through, but people gave me more room the rest of the day.

    Naw. I think preferred prg will save you a little on your ticket(s).

    Are you coming to Ride?! Yay!

    I don't know.... The fat bike has been pulling pretty strong lately. It is ready to go with a quick change of clothes. My boards still have storage wax and no bindings.

    We'll see. I can only be out for about 4 hours, a ticket is a little steep for only that.

    Hey is Alpine making a decline at afton? i noticed that there isn't a log thread...

    For some reason this year is kind of quiet across the board..... Maybe people are just not on here, I don't know. I haven't been out yet, my bike has been getting more use.

    Even the buck thread is kind of quiet.

  12. get ready, MES 2012!

    I don't twitter.

    I do have a FB account but I use it differently than average I believe. I have few "friends". I use it to "like" companies, magazines, and organizations that I like to hear about. They post updates, new products, movies, etc. I also use it to follow things that I can't get info easily in the US (Dakar race).

    If someone had access to an industrial x-ray used for inspection and failure analysis you could use it to analyze the layers. You can adjust the depth of field and the focus to see the different layers. It is VERY fancy...... You can see separate layers of only a few thou.

    The only kicker is you would need someone there that would know what they are looking at (Bruce). Otherwise I could get it done.

    Edit: I guess the link that zone posted above is close....

    I vote box as well. We use alot of salt here on the roads.

    One thing about boxes. GET THE BOARDS OUT AS SOON AS YOU GET HOME!

    Being that the boxes are mostly black they heat up nicely in the sun which melts the snow and turns them into humid little boxes that will rust the crap out of your edges.....
