I am on my second ankle injury now...1/1/07 45 degrees out (was a crap snow year) ollied my 180 over a pile of crud, stuck the nose and I kept going. Flipped and rotated as I felt my ankle moving how it shouldnt inside the boot. End result was several high grade tears to a tendon and ligaments. No surgery needed but was in a boot four months with pt for nine. Back at full strength by winter. Left ankle....
Last week, heelside chattered out, trying to recover I can feel my heel doing the same thing (I keep my boots tight). Swelling was finally down enough to do an MRI today. Pain is much worse than the last injury. Right ankle this time, I ride regular....
I did find out with the first injury that the walking boot fits nicely with great support in flow bindings although I do not recommend riding.
Sorry if this is all over the place but Captain Vicodin is in charge.

I've done first and last name before. The hard part was shutting it off between names.
This can be mastered with time practicing tightening the lower stomach muscles in combination with the "hot dog grab". The key is to use these both in combination to start the first letter of the last last name without flow overload and blowing it all on said first letter. In my experience, cursive seems to be easier.

Had a blast again....left shortly after the group picture. Don't know what it was, but I could not get warm even after being in the chalet at lunch. Made a few painful runs and decided to pack it in. Toes finally thawed out when I hit Rochester. It was all good though!

Parking lot empty for good reason. Snow sucked. Was hard and fast in some spots and too soft in others. Thought I would hit dirt on some turns I dug so deep. Each turn, the snow seemed to throw me out of it. Very flat light, and speed bumps from the groomer all the way across each run. Lookout seemed the worst. Hope conditions are better for MES. Got the bad vibe going on tonight....see everyone on the 27th!

what i have been told is that everything will be in the beginner area

I was out for our coaches meeting tonight, did not ride but will be on the board tomorrow. The good news is that there will be no park on Lookout this season. I should be out a few times per week. If anyone comes down let me know. I can also set gates most weekdays prior to the ski teams getting there. Hopefully there will be no issues this year.

A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink, and while he is drinking, the monkey is jumping all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them. He then grabs some sliced limes and eats them. He then jumps on the pool table and grabs one of the billiard balls. To everyones amazement, he sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole. The bartender screams at the guy "Did you see what your monkey just did?"
"No, what?"
"He just ate the cue ball off my table...whole!"
"Yeah that doesnt surprise me," replied the guy, "he eats everything in sight. Sorry! I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff."
The guy finishes his drink, pays his bill, pays for everything the monkey ate and leaves.
Two weeks later the guy is back at the bar, and has his monkey with him. He orders a drink, and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is finishing his drink, the monkey finds a cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out and then eats it.
The monkey then finds a peanut, and again sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it.
The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?"
"No, what?" replied the man.
"Well, he stuck both a cherry and a peanut up his butt, pulled them out, and proceeded to eat them!" said the bartender.
"Yeah that doesn't surprise me," replied the guy. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he had to sh!t out the cue ball, he measures everything first to be safe!"

My son shot one off our deck from his bedroom window earlier this summer.

how about carve czar?
Carve Czar has a nice ring to it. First order of business will be to get the park off of Lookout.

Kind of OT and ironical, but I was offered a coaching position at Welch today out of the blue...perks are good so I grabbed it. Maybe I can be the carving "ambassador".

This was about 1pm yesterday, my front yard. We got another four inches on top op this. Not much I know, but I quit work early and came home. Got the skid loader out, made a nice kicker and a run up to it. Kids got home from school and we spent the evening riding in our backyard. Softies, but it was still fun to be on the board again!

I like Patron Silver. Nice to sip on the rocks.

Excellent analogies everyone. Basically its being able to vary the amount of engagement and disengagement through out the turn. Sometimes you need to be able do minor line corrections, tighten it up, stretch it out, scrub speed, bobble through some funky chowder what ever the case may be. To me it seems much easier to accomplish all of these things on our current metal race shape offerings. They seem to allow you to engage and disengage very comfortably throughout the entire turn to allow for easier corrections, what ever they may be. Older traditional shape race boards dont seem to be nearly as friendly but they are still float able. The variable sidecuts on current offerings aid tremendously in being able to change turn sizes. Who would of thunk you could have a stick with a 13m cut at the nose and a 20m cut at the tail. Makes for an incredibly versitale snowboard.
I guess my take on this is to ride it like a surfboard. Yes I live in MN but spent a huge chunk of my life in SoCal riding waves. Like snow, water conditions are never constant. You always have to adjust to how the water/snow changes from turn to turn. In my mind, the "float" is the transition between turns and how you make the board react to a given condition. Snow may be more constant in some cases but we are always having to adjust to changing conditions and other idoits on the snow as well. Have never been on a metal board but one is coming from Bruce and can't wait to test the ride. I may be off base on this but it is just my analogy.

You should be able to buy a new one and change the entire lug assembly from inside the snare. If I remember correctly, mine just screw in through the shell.

Marty,
Thanks for the link to this. It has helped a ton!

My son would like to know what each of the guns are, plus the scopes. He was quite impressed with each one. Thanks!
