  1. D-sub i rode at Brundage in McCall--about 5 hours from Bend. It usually is really good but we had 37" in 36 hours then 24 hours of high 30's with rain. Mike i was makin trenchs with my board, hips and elbows, but the biggest ones were when i would get pitched over the nose. It was so soft we were having trouble planting our hands to push back up off the snow--your hands would sink to your armpits.:(

  2. '84 on a burton board with dolomite ski boots--very painful.

    I also did some riding in '79 on a Gar snow/sand board--no sidecut just little fiberglass fins on the outside edges with a foam core. That innovation didn't go over real big. they did look real cool when the fins would rip off and turn into streamers draging behind you.

  3. drove a Mercedes ML 320 for a year- actually a 1999 model and A 2000 model. It was a "German car" made in Tuscalousa Alabama. My body shop guy was commenting how right off the production line the body panels were out of line- as if they had already been in an accident- the gaps were all uneven. It isn't up to Mercedes Standard--Only stupid americans drive Mercedes--the rest of the world uses them for taxi cabs.

  4. I have had two throttles and one accelerator all with the foam core--you can see the blue foam through the top sheet now because it has desinagrated. They now ride like a sponge. The polyuerathane microcell foam like the kledgecell foam of the early 80's didn't contain the elasticity for the repeaded flex of skis and snowboards. They were certainally a fun board for the first year or two at least in my case.

  5. bob

    She gets my vote--7 times winner or top four in the HP/Powerbar womens chalenge--the TOUR DE FRANCE for women in addition to all the other results you posted.. She's still doin it what 44 years old now. As far as bob roll goes he may be a goof--but for those of us that have raced with or against him we have another 7- letter word for him. I'm not writing the word because it is not pg-13.

  6. We were bummed, We drove by the entrance to the canyons at 9am on the way home-almost had kirsten talked into turning into the parking lot. Great pictures of you guys tearing it up. Thanks for everything--really cool group. Adam you dog--you better have gotten some good turns for me.
