  1. Thanks for that tip Dave, I'll give that a crack in Japan and let you all know how I get on.
  2. Hi barryj, hope you don't mind me posting here but I have the same issue as you sometimes. I've read some good advice in here and I think I'm not using my back hand on the heelside like I should. Here's some pics: There's a too if you're interested.Anyone have some advice or tips for me? I'm so jealous of all you people headed for SES... I'm sweating in a Brisbane summer right now. Off to J

    Yo Lci!!

    So who's going to be at lovey tomorrow guys?
  8. Yeah I'll ride the basin ;) Stan was kind enough to lend me his coiler freecarve 178 for a few days... Ripped a few nice carves on it this am before I heard that pioneer was open. The freecarve was, um, challenging to ride in waist deep pow! Stan, I'm sorry mate - I gaped it up in a big way on your board - hope people don't point and laugh next time you ride wp ;)
  9. Just as busy out there today! I caught a few runs with Thor and steve - nice riding with you guys! I'm going to ride wp again tomorrow and then probably breck (will call u angie ;) on thursday, maybe copper Xmas day and lovey on the weekend!
  10. Wow, winter park was busy yesterday. I got the occasional nice turn but crowds and nephews generally conspired against me. Bluebird, were you harbooting on a twintip? I'm going to ride here till Tuesday - I'll email u shortly Thor. 68420

    Photog question

    Jack, those shots are a mix of velvia, reala, neopan and I think portra vc. All very nice films. The two middle shot were taken with a leica m3. BobS, I hear you. The canon g11 is at least a step in the right direction with a hard iso dial.
  12. Wp Tonight mate but I'll call ya soon ;)
  13. I thought the ratio was more favourable for you girls up here angie? Then again someone said to me about Antarctica: the odds are good but he goods are odd!
  14. Ink, sorry mate I'm at winter park for the next few days. I hope to get there next weekend! Bluebird, thanks mate, I'll probably be riding with my two little cousins though (read: very slowly!). I'll definitely keep an eye out though. I'll be in a yellow jacket on a White donek. I'll probably ride Monday Tuesday at wp as well. Angie, are you keen to ride breck on Thursday the 24th? Anyone else is welcome to come out!
  15. Wolf creek was sick! Pretty tracked out but still some sweet snow to be had and some gnarly lines. Took some time to get used to riding trees again though.
  16. Angie, will definitely have to try and catch up for a few turns and even some beers afterwards :) unfortunately I'll be in wp this weekend though. Thor- thanks mate, I might see if I can hang with you guys in Winter Park during the week. I'll probably ride with the family over the weekend. I think I can get a free condo for a few days ;) then maybe back to breck just before Xmas if I still have accom here
  17. Ah bugger - I'm heading to winter park Friday. Looks like we might ride wolf creek tomorrow.
  18. PHWOOAAAR! Just rode my brand new Donek Metal AX today at Copper for the first time. It is AWESOME! But it was my first day on a snowboard for five years and my first day at altitude - fatigue was a bugger! Not sure where I'm riding tomorrow but I'm staying in breck. Anyone riding here?

    Photog question

    Warning: pic whoring ahead. I took this with a ****ty Canon P&S: I had a fashion shoot planned with a bunch of other amateur photogs and models. Unfortunately, my SLR setup got stolen the week before, so I rocked up with this camera: I bought it on eBay for $13. The other photogs smirked until they saw the results: I also shoot with an old completely mechanical, manual focus, manual exposure camera that my Grandfather bought brand new in 1959. Here's a few pics from it: This roll of film (Fuji Velvia) probably cost more than the camera I shot it with (some crappy Canon SLR): Light is light. How you capture it is irrelevant.
  20. Awesome Angie, sounds good. It looks like I might be staying in Breck for a bit so I might get up there too. Will keep you posted!
  21. BTW Guys, should I bring the rockboard?
  22. Well guys, I'm landing in Denver next tuesday and picking up my new Donek that afternoon ;-) I'll probably ride Copper on Wednesday, and stay up in Summit County till about the 29th. The weekend of the 19th or so I will be at Winter Park catching up with the family but other than that I'd love to ride with a few other hardbooters. Anyone around?
  23. Awesome div Sean, great to see what goes into them. Can't wait to pick mine up :)
