Corduroy Artisan

I need a ride. I live in NE Mpls. I can meet you somewhere relatively close to mpls. Just got 'The Tool of Truth' Stone ground at REI. It looks so pretty I can barely stand it! If only they could put the camber back in it...

1/7/08 Flat Light + No Grooming Slop = No Joy I got a refund after 2 runs for my $10 lift ticket I am returning to my No sunshine = No getting up I am becoming a conditions snob of epic proportions

I wish I could say I'd be there for these. My band plays the FineLine Saturday night which kinda screws up Sat and for sure wrecks gettin up early Sunday. Hmmm. I should train if I'm gonna race anyway. I kinda used to be good. Hmmm-

I would like to join ya carl. Anybody got room in the car? leaving from the Metro area?

Rode the cheap ticket today. Arrived at the hill about 10:30 and wished I'd gotten there first thing. Beautiful Corduroy, Blue Sky, Sunshine:D Enough said! Saw Bob and met a guy named Dave. They were rippin it. The park looked so good I wished that air didn't equal injuries for me.

I took a friend out and gave him some pointers and took off. He was a good athlete and I knew he would pick it up pretty quick. I saw him from the lift later that day and he was doing great, really looking confident. Unfortunatly he took a bad fall and his wife later informed me that he did not recall where he had been upon arriving home. Glad he made it home, and I kinda wonder what he says if people ask him if he has ever been snowboarding. I rode buck on Monday morning. It was great! I had a Buck Hill Cheeseburger which was quite delicious as expected. Around 5pm that day I became violently ill and my body purged itself of all waste. I'm still feeling a bit weak. I hope it wasn't the BuckBurger cause I love those things. I had some Prime Rib the night before and it was quite bloody but it was at a 'finer' restaurant. Who knows. I'm gonna try and ride again next monday.

If Buck's open tomarrow (monday) I will give the early ticket a shot. I hope they still have it. I'm also praying for sunshine

When is the SES? I would love to go and I am already planning a trip to aspen so why not go when my fellow Carvers are there? Looking forward to meeting more of ya this year. Whens the first regulars outing? I will be riding the cheap early morning ticket at Buck on Mondays and heading for Duluth as much as possible as I have a beautiful admirer of mine residing there:D

Yes It Is! Nice look. Hope to see you there. Be sure to say hey as I may not recognize you with out the board attached to your feet.

Hey Y'all, My band 2 Wurds is playing a show tonight at the 400 bar (Cedar Riverside area) All the bands on the bill are great. We play about 10. If you cannot attend check us out next Friday at the FineLine with Said Method and The New Congress. Great Music to Carve too.

I am going to try to ride the $10 ticket tomorrow. 10-1...should I bother, anyone else going?

Tom used to help me coach. Before the G-Team it was the Team Gilboa Snowboard Team. I ran it for about three years before Jessica took over. Dave Rothman was my predacessor. Dave Rothman is godlike on any sporting apparatus!! Jim ain't too bad either.

Man, I wish I could be there. It sounds like it will be an amazing time. It's the kind of thing I used to dream about. Does it feel like carving is catching on a little??

Got back a couple hours ago. Buck for 10 Bucks was worth it. Tried to get a cheeseburger and was disturbed by the Elemantary or junior high kids that were there. It wasn't so much that the kids were everywhere and the line to get a cheesburger was unreasonable. Its the fact that Kids are freaking clueless. I may have been that stupid at one time but I at least knew how to behave. My buddy and I wanted to beat them all senseless. On the hill they were sticking to the park and the outside runs. The main runs and the race hill were exquisite. I had a great time. Met Powell 1.8. Good rider, glad I met ya. I also met a guy on a burner who was arcing it up good. i believe he said his name was Rufus. Cool guy. Over all it was a perfect morning! Broke a buckle on my last run. Glad it was my last run. Took out the 'Tool of Truth' (Old Generics World Cup 175) my favorite freeride board. Realised at the end of the day it has no camber left. I will continue to ride it but next time I will probably take out a different ride.

Im going for the $10 ticket at Buck tomorrow. Bet Im done by noon, unless i get there late...

Yeah, I feel bad about not making it, but 2 bands, a girlfriend, an elderly dog, a P.O.S car, and a "real" job, oh and the drinking. I have a hard time fitting everything in. Is it saturdays at buck or sunday? I'll try to come this week, i like the groomers when it's cold.

I had Training last monday. I never work monday so I took Friday Off. I have a pass for spirit. I would pay for half gas if anyone wants to head for Spirit Friday. Carve for a few hours and then comeback. Otherwise I may go painting at Buck or Hyland 11-2 or 3... Let me know, I'm jonesin Anyone know if Tom Lapinski hangs out here and what his handle is if he does??

Sold!!!

Sorry i missed this. I look forward to meeting Y'all. I was supposed to play hockey with some old friends at 11 so I bagged the idea of going out for gates inthe cold at Buck. The call came at 10:30 that everyone was staying home to try on little girls clothes...I shoulda gone riding!!!

A Bump of Jager Anyone?

Boards on HOLD pending payment...

Very Stiff Identity 168 and Moderately stiff 162 In the For Sale- Check It Nate-

I saw the commotion and people gathered around the spot. Someone told me what happened. I had second thoughts about another run as the light was flat and disappearing. Decided to call it. Man, one minute your having a ball, the next... It is a shame, but if I gotta go let it be quick like that! Taken by the play.

No cookies...Not anymore but i used to enjoy dropping the L and making railroad tracks with my roommates world cup 225's at Bridger Bowl. It has left me permanently altered. Evolved perhaps. Slightly Braindamaged in a better sort of way?? Iam not Disco Stu, but you can tell by the way i use my walk I'm a ladies man, No time to talk...

Ill try to check out Buck on a weekend. Early Huh?! Thats tough for me on the weekends.
