  2. Alexa Loo's COPPER Experience

    in Racing

    Posted

    FYI, before someone completely embarrasses themselves... Alexa does drop by BomberOnline and read the posts sometimes.

    So back in 2003 I had no clue who Alexa Loo was. I only talked to her because I took a telemark clinic with a friend of hers and saw the bunch of them at a mtb consignment sale at Crankworx in Whistler. She gave me her business/promo card by Sundog. Ah well. . .

    Home-grown heroes that I've met; it'll be fun to watch the team leading up to the 2010.

  6. Vancouver 2010 events

    I'd like to go, so I worked up a schedule with an event that I'm interested in for every day of the Olympics: I'm up to $3,000. . .It might be easier for me to get into the national SBX team than getting the tickets I want, though, I've never raced before. Ahahah.

    So I submitted a volunteer application first, and, will figure out the ticket thing in a bit.

    Awesome choice eh!

    But what is up with that squinty eyed magistrate.

    I know you have some liberal laws up there in the Western part of Canada particularly but that is ridiculous.

    Well, west coast has its extremes, J.P. at my roommate's hearing was hot.

    I think that judge is a Member of the Order of Canada.

    I could ride with you on Thursday. Let me know if you're interested in taking some runs together.

    Cypress Crew: What board should I bring - 174 Prior 4WD or 175 Coiler Freecarve? I prefer riding the Coiler but I'm worried about soft conditions.

    MCL's still off and I couldn't bring my 4wd. On softies riding easy. Anyway, apartment's number is 604 932 6545 (I'm JSL). Maybe Sunday though, want to be able to ride on Friday for some demo rides.

    Huh? Somehow you've got it wrong... We are not snow bums, just ordinary hard working people. Yes, we do ride a lot, especially Dave. Blessed with the mountains on our door step, all it takes is a bit of determination and planning...
    Yeah I guess that suggestion did come across, uhm, oops; I shouldn't compose posts when cramming stuff between batches and reports. I'd just received mixed news from an interview I had in Vancouver. It was a bit disheartening (but had other leads) so when I saw. . .
    Another fun day at the "office"...
    . . .I got a bit envious of Vancouver's proximity and presence to significantly more interesting mountains. Anyway, I have it even less wrong since lately in the range of duties I do, to design (applications, reports, systems) is more interesting than to support (unsophisticated technology users). Hm...

  14. Duty and Taxes

    in Carving Central

    I choose sellers in the US based on whether they will ship USPS. If not, they don't get my business, period.

    Up to now, all sellers of snowboards I've approached insist that USPS will not accept a snowboard and worse, insist on UPS. Regarding USPS, I know that's not the case.

    So I won't buy from anyone who ship via UPS only.

    I'm not the only one who considers it an irritation, there's a class action filed in the Province of British Columbia:

    A $350 USD snowboard of 158 cm shipped from Vermont to Ontario cost $50 USD for shipping via UPS.

    The seller sent it via UPS.

    For that, I paid an extra $100 CAD of fees and taxes to UPS when the snowboard was delivered.

  16. With a whimper or a bang?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Bang: an injury might have ended this season early.

    Other than that, one party in Whistler in April and that's that. It's like buying time because the season in Ontario is long over by then. I return to dry and hopefully clean roads and the motorcycle is taken out of storage.

  19. SES 08 Housing share

    Allee - not a problem for me. Scott - you still interested? Anyone want to make 4, and then we could grab one of the St Moritz condos assuming they are still available.
    I'm only able to go from the 9th to the 12th. Are you looking for someone to stay the entire duration eh? Could I kick in for the cost for those days?
    I'll bring some of my tuning tools :)
    ??? For your tuba?

  25. SES 08 Housing share

    Is there someone who'd like to share accomodations and transportation to and from the Denver airport? I'd like to go to SES this year, but I'm only able to go from Saturday, February 9th to the 12th (Tues).

    I like to think I'm pretty chill, 2am tuba doesn't bother me, nor do fish dishes, I can't sing so I won't sing in the shower, or anywhere else.
