  1. I felt a little left out at Welch yesterday, not having seen Bobble head cam vid. I just remembered to check it out. What a great way to start the day. I've been having giggle fits. To funny. The true meaning of Bobble's screen name has been discovered.
  2. I'll be there for my first day out. I've had terrible luck finding an opportunity to ride as of yet, but it's all down hill from xmas eve on. Hope everyone can blow there families off for a couple of hours. It's well know that xmas eve morning is set aside for ride time at our house.
  3. Anyone know when the park equipment moves off the runs?
  4. When I was a kid learning to ski, we called it learning to fall. The thought being that if you can fall without getting hurt you will by happy accident learn to ride well. Mostly by learing what not to do. I have maintained this view of riding my whole life. I fall a lot. What constitutes a fall for me is not owning the run. It may be a slight skid, a little chatter, sliding out, or a body slam. I prefer not to ever ever ever employ the body slam. If I'm not falling I'm not learning or progressing, your pick. I feel no shame about it. Falling with style is a true art form.
  5. I also want to thank Trent for his dedication to all of us. THANKS T!! I also want to give everyone their due props. The conditions were not ideal, as usual, but everyone really stepped to the plate and rode hard. It seems like our riding as a whole improves every year, which is great to see. With limited vertical you have to make the best of what you have, and we seem to do that very well. I know I didn't get a chance to meet everyone or even talk to some I know, but when it's time to ride it's time to ride. Right? Maybe next time out. Jessie deserves her own special award for hanging with the boys, and holding her own. Big Props. And lastly a shout out to Joes mittens. We definately know they made it to Welch, Buck, and Hyland.
  6. wa wa we woo, looking good!
  7. Scuff, sorry for the miss quote, but after spending the day with a bunch of dirty minded fools at work it's hard to let that one go!!
  8. I'm not to into it myself, but I'm told there are people out threr that are into that sort of thing.
  9. Are you calling my mom a lier? It's almost fact that he was!
  10. I was hoping for a much cooler explanation of how he got the hole in his head. Something along the lines of alien abduction or freak lazer gun accident.
  11. Is it ever a good time Doug? Hope you make it.
  12. It's in the st louis park fed ex hub ready for delivery sometime tomorrow, so yes I will be eyeing every truck I see on the way to Buck tomorrow. At least I know that I'm getting the best Christmas present every.
  13. WHAT!!! Apparently you are mortal like the rest of us, but you need to get Bruce on the phone immediately. Sean assured me my new Donek will be crashproof. What's Coilers deal? I'd be pissed. Sounds like Bobble got a little payback for all the camera curses you put on him. Big props Bobble:biggthump
  14. Clay, I was checking out Trents new boots and it looks like the stock deelux liners are much improved. I hope your liner molding went well.
