Fat Old Bastard

but I do have a never ridden 2001 (?) Hot Blast Stiff 172 if you're ever looking for another Blast. Bought it back from Tokyo in 2002 and haven't been riding since. If you're interested e-mail me on: guru_mick at yahoo.com Board is on South Coast, NSW. Good luck in finding your new board ! Mick

Have fun guys ! :D Sandy knows what he's talking about. Mick

Sandy, If I didn't know what a great guy you are then I would have to kill you just out of pure jealousy :D Be sure to post a trip report ! In fact forget the trip report... you have to go in the next Longboard Classic ! Cheers & beers, Mick

I take my hat off to you Sir ! You are a legend ! Seriously that is very cool. You must have some great memories. Well done !

Shred, I worship you as a boarder but maybe you don't know much about beer ? Maybe I can recommend some training Practice makes perfect ! Cheers !

I maybe have the old VHS somewhere in the garage. But even if I can find it I have no clue how to post it. So it's a lame post by me but I have seen video (but never in real-life) of boarders absolutely ripping through moguls. It can be done. As for myself the only thing I ever kinda figured out was agressively lifting the rear foot and pivoting but it was all an out of control skid. And these days no way are my knees or hips able to cope with even trying. But it can be done. This I believe

Maybe I will try it. Currently with old yellow Malamutes + front Catek FR Pro + back Flow Team. 2-3 months to go before we get snow :sleep:

The only reason I can think of not to buy a Tanker is if you don't like speed in all conditions. Tanker = The One Board ! :D:D:D

Sweet video ! Why doesn't Australia have any mountains but only hills ? I was born in the wrong hemisphere !

... and or a full on mogul comp. :lol:

Yep. IMHO if somebody isn't able to comfortably ride through a mogul field at a reasonable speed (like me) then they are simply not that good. Or maybe they are good but to be great they still need to conquer moguls. It's OK for somebody to say that they don't like moguls if and only if they absolutely rip in moguls. Otherwise it just means they (like me) have some improving to do. :flamethro:boxing_sm:boxing_sm P.S. I accept what people are saying about the risks of adding moguls to SBX. But I don't see why there would be insufficient interest in a snowboard moguls competition.

Excellent work ! :D:D:D

You have my vote for Best Board Graphics Ever !

Now even when I was young and skinny I was useless in moguls on board (or skis). But I would keep trying. For me moguls are one of the ultimate challenges in boarding and I have seen video of boarders who really rocked in moguls. So why are there no moguls in SBX ? Or why aren't there any mogul contests nowadays ? Old fart wants to know

Seriously - Are these any use ?
