  8. why Hard Boots are doomed

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    really don't know what your purpose is in being here, but this doesn't add to the quality of the forums at all.

    your existance here is doomed...

    completely worthless thread.

    yeah, we get that you're soft. ok, message sent. done, move on, we get the point. yeah, you'll never try hardboots, ok, great. any other useless info you wish to share with us?

    If you've come here as a missionary on a conversion mission, you're wasting your time... WE ARE the CONVERTS - most of us have had our fair share of softy setups. whereas you have never even tried hardboots.

    damn, i feel like such an idiot sinking to your level and actually posting a response to this...

    And as far as wrecking the snow, I blame it on all the softboot riders that spread the butter all over the place and expose the ice, leaving all the snow on in mounds and off to the side of the runs...

    Take a deep breath, relax, the thin part of the thong is supposed to be in the back. This is a real situation for us in MN. Don't blame snow conditions on those riding soft set-ups. Many factors influence this. I ride softies quite a bit. Coaching, riding with my kids and I actually prefer them in pow. Does this mean according to you that I am not a TRUE hardbooter? Hopefully someday I will see the light. Go have a beer.

    Flamebait.

    and an unsubstantiated argument at that.:sleep:

    Don't know how to attach a link from this forum because I am a dumba$$, but check out the Belch Village thread in the MN ride board. PLEASE do not email, call, etc. Belch/Welch regarding this as it is a fun place for us to ride.

    Since I live the closest to Belch, I will test the waters down here and maybe even buy a season pass. I am feeling that after all these years of coaching that I may take some time off and just ride for myself for once. With all the crappy skiers and boarders there that are a risk plus all the ski teams who rut the hill (does Belch groom after they practice, not that I've seen), why are we an issue? You should see the skipee accident stats from their horribly designed park alone. I can't count the times that I went airborne from a gate rut with potential serious injury. Did I run to management because my thong was on backwards and I crashed because of a rut...........NOPE! I remember Trent getting smoked buy a skier from behind at one MES. Don't recall him running to the ski cops. Sorry if this was all over the place, but I worked 85 hours this week and am tired as hell. Can't wait to ride.

  15. Has anyone been hunting yet this season?

    Yup..rememebr you all right. Sounds ,like your season is off to a good start :) I've not been overly concerned with the CWD problem, and have been hunting in the middle of the zone for a few years now. I also happen to work at the University's Veterinary School and some of my fellow researchers have worked with prion diseases. In CWD's case its pretty much impossible for a human to contract it and the majority consensus is that it doesn't transmit to humans like Scrappie in sheep. That being said, I've passed up a deer that didn't look healthy to me, and like Al I do all of my own butchering and processing, including sausage. As long as you don't cut into the spine, head, or lymph nodes you put the risk of infection at almost zero, and if you don't cut open bones and expose the marrow you are that much better off.

    As far as numbers of deer with it, I can't really say beyond the DNR's numbers as I don't think I've ever run across one that definitely had it, and none of the people I know have had one test positive yet either. I do wish people would stop feeding them and using bait piles as it is the main way of transmitting it with the close contact from saliva, but some hunters and backyard enthusiasts just don't seem to get it.

    Anyway, I can't get out again until the weekend.....good luck with your season.

    Every year MN has the CWD warnings in the regs and I like you and Al and CC am careful with butchering deer. We had a story here a couple of years ago that someone died of CJD after eating at a game feed which included deer. This blew up into months of speculation and conjecture. Who knows what happened to him. I have a friend that hunts elk in CO and said that CWD has been there since the late sixties with no ill effects. I was out scouting ducks tonight (waterfowl opens on Saturday) and watched two eights chasing a doe. With the way the birds have been flying and what I saw tonight, it may be an early winter which translates into earlier riding. I have a management conference in Madison the end of January, maybe we could hook up at Tyrol? I didn't mean to threadjack this so back on topic. Good hunting to all!

    Saw 7 does in an hour last night. I actually have to shoot one so I can "earn a Buck" tag. Not a big deal to me as I use a lot of venision throughout the year and try to get 3-4 deer a season. Unfortunately they came out so late that I could hardly see them even though they were only 10 yds away. Decided I could get one a different day.

    Strider,

    Don't know if you remember me, but I think it was you that knew my sister from UW-Madison. How bad is the CWD down in the Madison/Mt. Horeb area? Any fears on this at all? I have seen CJD (human form) a couple of times and it is pretty scary. Hunting has been pretty good here so far, have gotten two does and am patiently waiting for the 12 pointer that I have seen all summer. Early goose season has been the best I've seen in years. Can't wait for it to get cold so they really start flying. I was at Devils lake last weekend and the geese were all over the place...was longing for my 10 gauge. Anyway, happy hunting.

    I do 99% of my surfing on my work laptop and had to re-image it about one month ago due to the "blue screen of death". I haven't been logged in here since, and did not receive any email about a login failure. I was curious if those who did experience this are logged in all the time?

  21. Who is watching 'Le Tour'?

    in The Lodge

    Anyone see the Gerolistiner rider smoke the roundabout sign? Completely smoked his bike. Couldn't tell the frame material but it split his bike in half. You see some pretty dramatic crashes in "Le Tour" but this one looked like it really hurt.

    I am not much of a video game person and I set play time limits for my kids but I thoroughly got my ass kicked today. Came home after an afternoon of fishing and they asked if I wanted to play TT Superbikes. Having ridden a few superbikes in my day I thought that I would do pretty well. I SUCKED!!!!!!!! My six year old daughter even beat me. :angryfire Maybe I should start grooming her for my dirt track modified. Thank-god my community-ed knitting class starts next week.........more my speed!

  24. summer concerts

    I didn't even know Blind Melon was still around. I moved from SoCal to Minneapolis and both music scenes were great. I now live in a small town in southern MN and it seems like the only thing around is country which is like nails on the chalkboard for me. No decent live shows ever hit close to me. Blue Oyster Cult played a free show in Rochester last weekend and it was like stepping back in time......I didn't know mullets were still that popular. Had a bunch of my "country" friends over for a July 4th party and all I played was ska. Heard "What the hell is this s**t" numerous times. :biggthump
