Is there a general consensus as to the best place in the GTA to get a good base grind? Level it off, new structure, choose my base edge angle etc? Having worked at a number of the shops I know where I wont take it (although I would only assume they've changed their practices/equipment since i left).... any suggestions?

thanks as always Kent.

Awesome. It even got spicy meatball barking.

I'm in love with some rabbit braised in chicken stock with lavender over some homemade biscuits... If you can find a local rabbit guy the rest is easy - make stock from chicken carcasses, dry lavender from the garden and a box of bisquick. Open face. Also - if you have a local chicken source they're probably giving the livers away - kick Julia child old school chicken liver pâté with cognac, serve with day old bread toasts, pickles, Dijon and maybe some fruit preserve. Don't underestimate the power of roast chicken done right with salad. Refer to Zuni cafe cookbook. The beauty of a cafe is not letting anything go to waste and being there to tend to the cook/marinade/stew time, but not physical prep time consuming things.

Homina homina homina...:1luvu: Just dirty. Makes me feel kinda funny.

Ha! Was just telling that story to some skiing acquaintances today when they asked if I'd be interested filling the last spot on their cat.....

yes - email sent.

Still available.

it pains me to sell this, but the birth of my son has made me re-evaluate the 'depth' of my quiver. I've owned this board since '04, bought from original owner. The thing is an absolute rocket. Scary fast old school glass and an edge hold like bike wheels caught in streetcar tracks. Super stiff, tons of camber left. Would not recommend it to anyone under 200lbs. At deuce-deuce myself I still get caught out by it. I get it out 2-3 times a year on perfect groom days when i feel brave. All the pertinent info is in the photo. It has the usual dings on would expect from a board of this age that still gets ridden, nothing serious though - i'd rate it a 3/5. I also have the original burton step-ins that came with it as part of the package. Might be convinced to part it out but would prefer to sell together. $200+ shipping takes it all. Local pickup available in Southern ON.

Looks scaryfast Kurt. I like it. When are you gonna find time to ride the horned beast?

had a '78 haut-batailley and a '78 talbot last night.... an '03 caymus cab for xmas.... a '71 vezza barbaresco on xmas eve.... 'tis the season i'm told. my snowboard quiver problem pales in comparison to my wine issues.

after i got my mr. coffee i think i saw that on the radar.

I've noticed with beginner that the bend at the waist is a subconscious way of making the fall to the snow a shorter distance, and many riders at all levels do it once things get a little hairy for the same reason. As a trick to beat it out of those who wouldnt give it up, I'd make them carve down the bunny hill leaving only perfect lines - you cant go slow and lean over like that. In regards to the EC style - it was watching the peter bauers and jean nervas that got me doing it and it lead to many broken walkman's before I realized that you have to let the snow come to you. Watch Bruce. He's got it nailed. I continue to attempt to emulate.

if they do get it - i'll race Rob. probably down happy valley to the patio deck.

A call to Talisman probably wouldnt hurt either - they've been flirting with bankruptcy for a while now.

interested in bx - email me eajensen at gmail.com with pics if still available

I can only half-follow the giro this year..... and even then its mostly via giro snob. Whenever i start following live all i hear is Mr Hand acclaiming "they're all on dope". Except cancellara - his bike's on dope;)

Congrats Rob!

Chris - huge thanks - this is quickly becoming one of the best days of the year for me. It's great catching up with old friends and making new ones. Already looking forwards to next year. I posted some pictures in the photo section here, please add any pictures or video you want to share. or skip straight to the flick set here.

Awesome.

Gorgeous Ernie......

:eek: totally freaking awesome. envious doesn't start to cover it. makes me feel kinda funny......

there's always a vancat as well.... although it might be too expensive.

for reference... i've got a '95 outback with 250k km's on it still going that seems it will never die and is great in the snow. I dont think i've locked it in about three years. No one seems to want the tape deck either. They can be had for about $2500-3500 CAD up here in Toronto. and this past summer my wife told to me that a lovely pair of lesbians on her hockey team explained to her why they have a forrester: because it looks like a giant box. (feel free to moderate if deemed necessary) edit: - if you follow skategoats lead on the cherokee - the block heater option is worth pursuing. And - if you can get one - a buddy of mine swears by his toyota helix deisel. rhd is so hot right now.
