Covid has ruined a lot of things, Peoples tolerance to others opinion seem to be high on the list as well!

I guess then it all boils down to what is "meaningful carving". I still maintain that I see many people carving wonderfully on shorter boards. Certainly seems meaningful to me.
People should only be judged by the smile on their face.

Personally speaking i ride my boards for fun. I think Bruce undertakes most activities as blood sports so beware.

I wasn't going to be so blunt!
Flat light and fog along with a blunt stop. How many time has any of us gotten away without paying the price for charging hard any making a sketchy decision near season end under less than ideal conditions ? Rideguy you might want to switch to recumbent bike. Have you checked to see if your suits are going to hang square on you shoulders ? Sorry not trying to make you laugh I just remember nearly passing out trying to climb out of the bathtub thinking taking off the sling would be the best way to soak. That was a worse decision than cornering the motorcycle on a mucky leaf covered laneway. Season ended here with a whimper nice to see someone doing it with a bang!

Looses something in the translation but nice to see guys having a shit load of fun. We did two alpine boards with ski bindings ( the ultimate fat skis ) about 16 years ago but sadly before we had video equipment. Always encourage off normal experimentation.

IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO SECOND GUESS THE BUILDER IT'S YOUR MONEY SO YOUR IN CHARGE. However I would provide him with your riding conditions and a true estimate of your abilities and allow the expert to do their thing. My humble opinion is that if you aren't satisfied with their ability to build a board you will be pleased with either they aren't capable or you weren't honest with them in which case you should part ways and haunt another builder. You can always be unsatisfied with what you have if you think it i isn't performing as you expect. If the demo is performing in a manner that puts a smile on your face why not just ride it till the smile goes away. I have been very happy with custom boards that were made for me but not because they were based on my specs. They were easier to ride than previous boards i was riding but also because they challenged me in a different way. Progression is learning and you never want to be too comfortable on your new board.

We're not forced to drink from the water hole but it's reasonable to mandate that others cant piss in it. Your only free to imagine not act.

My own sense of self preservation won't allow me to even watch these to conclusion. Not sure why they would even bother to wear a helmet ? If one were to fall being fallowed that close i'm sure the car would flatten them before your foot was half way to the brake pedal. Chilling !

Perhaps the simple reality is some brains aren't worth protecting. Just a Darwinian thought here.

Nothing surprises me with what i hear in the lift line anymore. But i'm often disappointed by what i hear.

Situational awareness only goes so far as you can't be looking backwards the whole time and situations change quickly on sunny days.
Another good reason to visit MCC reduce neck strain and ride with confidence that a fellow MCC'er won't clip you from behind and if they do 100 of them are likely to beat the shit out of you for breaking their # 1 rule

Self preservation is the ultimate goal and the responsibility is on you. Downhill skier may have the right of way technically but I have come to the conclusion that the majority of people have no clue of their own spatial awareness and for this reason i make it my responsibility. Sometimes it means i have to abort my game plan but I reserve the right to discuss the situation with anyone who ignores the # one rule for everyone who slides down a hill. I don't try and stand my ground on the sidewalk when a tractor trailer makes a tight right turn. Self preservation !

Titinal makes a world of difference you owe it to yourself to try a newer version.

@ a minute fifteen i would say you shot a full feature movie. Better late to the show than never !!!! A Skwal doesn't do slow .

Relaxed here as well but numbers creeping up again. Amazon distribution centre was ordered close 5000 staying home but Amazon is fighting decision by health officials. Changing boots in muddy parking lot is getting old quickly but the fact that bump is open now that all traces of snow have vanished everywhere else is still good for mental health.

I don't know about you guys but I plan on ripping the beginner runs. At least until my diapers start dragging and slow me down !

The "evil day" will come for each of us crazies here when we just can't physically carve a snowboard anymore. Until then......

Scarpa AT boots and a Skwal problem solved !

Todays temp was 19 C season is all but over. Tomorrow is slush day. Parking lot is mud and Robins showed up yesterday to taunt me. Variant Covid on the rise after a week of lower numbers and Doctors are telling politicians to tighten up peoples activities. Emmerald Ash bore has killed all our Ash trees so at least i've got something to do in my spare time. Happy Anniversary Covid !

There is just something about gravity on an incline that always makes me smile . Enjoy your noodles. The season almost over here after a very late start.
Covid has ruined mid-week carving

True ! But in my mind my opinion is the only correct opinion. There is not much room for argument in this little space. When it comes to right and wrong there's only Clints side of the fence to fall on .
