Don't know what the atfl is but I almost completely tore two ligaments and a tendon in my ankle folding the nose of my board. It took a year to fully recover; did all the necessary PT and found that cycling really helped out alot. Good luck.

I am getting too damn old to be busting my ass in the park and am interested in getting a longboard. Can I go to the local skateshop and pick one off the shelf or should I do a build? What should I look for? Trucks, wheels etc....... Keep in mind that all I really want to do is cruise the lakes and maybe do a downhill run now and again. Thanks! Kenton

If there is a bright side to all this it's knowing that the mosquito and tick population will be off the charts with all the rain.

:lol::lol::lol: That is awesome, I'll have to remember that the next time some inline punk gives me s*** about being the "old fart" at the skate park.

Potato chips, all food's deep fried, and plenty of beer!!!!!! :biggthump

WOW!!!!!!!! 60 pages.

Not Valtrex, but the $5 girls in T.J. will give you great balls of fire.

:lol::lol::lol: Reminds me of the time when I was replacing a cv axle on my truck. After scraping another pound of skin off my knuckles I busted out the effenheimer. What I didn't know was my then 4 yo daughter was standing behind me. She walked out of the garage yelling "F****** A" daddy, F****** A". Had a hard time explaining that one.

What's that phrase "Do the curtain's match the rug?". "Ted" do any surfing? I used to live in San Diego and spent alot of time in the water. The only thing I can surf now is cornfields. Sure do miss it. Sorry, didn't mean to threadjack.

SE MN Manager for a utility locate company. You want to dig, I get paid to legally spray graffiti on your lawn.

DAMN!!!!! I forgot all about that photo. It took me about an hour to get it tied into the knot and it hurt like hell. :eplus2:

Sorry to all, started going to that CF, CMC rant. Don't know what came over me. Last day to ride this Saturday, have a good summer.

Wasn't overly aggressive. My signature is for whiny pissants like you. The demeanor of my post was for you to grow a pair of balls and stop whining. My post may not do anything constructive but yours' haven't either. The only lesson that you need to know is that the thin part of the thong goes in your a$$crack. I do know that the bassoon is a classical instrument, I was a percussionist in the Chicago Symphony. Thought you wanted this thread locked.

I have pretty much lurked here for about the past seven years, and don't post much, but this whole thing pisses me off. I think that your interpretation of retarded is retarded. The topic of the thread was that a ski area in MN was banning "aggressive carving". I ride at Welch. This affects all of us in MN, because it is a damn fun place to ride. You threadjacked it because you felt offended because of the "word" retarded. There was no harm meant. Grow a f>>>>>g pair. I own 685 acres and heat my home by wood. That being said I go out alot during the winter and cut up a faggot. Faggot is a bundle of sticks. Does the word faggot offend you as well? I accept the fact that you don't like the "word" retarded but dont EVER tell me what I can or can't say. That is my given right. My sister has a child with Down's and he "retarded". One of the neatest kids I have ever known. Technically "retarded" but damn cool. My sis is not offended by the word, doesn't like it, but she lives with it. You say that you hate political correctness and you didn't make this thread, but you imposed that upon the rest of us because your p***y hurt about the word "retarded". Trailer Trash moved this to off topic because that is exactly what it was...off topic. Piss off.....Flame on.

Karl, That big hit on the bottom right caused a massive spine compression on me. I used to be as tall as you! :D

I was going to say that also, am on oxycontin and flexeril right now so the brain is kind of cloudy. Remember that carving cup from two years ago trying to cross all those ruts? Maybe they should change welch into a beginner only area renting only 120cm skis and boards with some sort of braking system integrated to slow the speeds down. Maybe even a parachute if speeds got over 10 mph. The patrol could wear a red flashing light on their heads and hand out tickets for excessive speed or excessive carving. Do bad they couldn't do something about excessive stupidity right now. Lee Nelson has lost it once again.

This opens a whole can of worms as far as the "safety issue" goes. I help coach the D-team at Buck and cringe every year we have to compete at Welch. We do three disiplines - SS, BA, & Carving. The SS & BA scare the hell out of me. The most unsafe park I have ever ridden. Every year there are more serious injuries in their park than any place else. I doubt that injuries caused by "ruts" even come close to the carnage the park produces. Had to medivac someone out of there two weeks ago. What about the drunks, straighliners, and every other idiot out there? What about their racing programs? This is something that I think will be un-enforcable. Might have to try and see what happens.

Plamb, that would be damn funny to see. Thanks to all for the response, I am going to give it a shot. Have had deer, elk, and bear so we'll see how this turns out.

A friend is getting a half of beefalo (buffalo/beef cross), and asked if I wanted the other half. How is the meat? Gamey, can't taste a difference? Don't want to pony up the bucks if it tastes like s&%t. Anyone?......Bueller? Thanks, Kenton

I make a pretty decent wage but hate to pay for lift tickets. I am 39 and have coached/taught for the past 20 years or so which means free tickets and a paycheck for all that time. Granted, I live/ride in Minnesota, it is still free. I have met enough people in that time that I can get a free tic pretty much anywhere in the midwest. The only time I pay for a lift is when I ride out west. I have about 20 boards (including my kids' boards) and have never ordered a custom one. My gear is getting dated so I will be ordering 2 priors in the next couple of weeks.

I like tall girls, have a good job, no mental instability, have a degree in Molecular Biology (but don't want to be a lab rat so I work outside my schooling), and enjoy snowboarding. Am a Virgo and enjoy quiet nights, long walks on the beach, reading poetry, and can talk the pants off a nun. :ices_ange:ices_ange

No, she was on a soft set-up and it was her third time out. Hope its not someone anyone knows. Don't want to step on any toes.

thanks guys. trent if i remember correctly it was a pretty good crash.

[quote yep, i'd say she was 6'2". not much shorter than chad, maybe 2-3 inches. kudos to you kenton for trying. Being the single guy, I thought that the Bubba Mojo might work. Apparently not. Even though she had a head on me, opposites attract. Right???????????? Bob, thanks for the youtube link as I have never seen a vid of myself on a raceboard. I look like a beginner Feels like I ride lower but apparently not. I think that I will be either at Spirit or Giants next weekend. If anyone will be up there let me know. Kenton

Haven't had to much of an opportunity on the carve deck this winter. Usually just watch everyone while I'm in the park trying to coach. Today was fun. Left about 1:30 as the hill was tanking fast. STICK YOUR BOOT IN YOUR MOUTH "The Grouch." I have heard some stories about her but have never seen her.....until today. Saw her all morning riding under the lift and couldn't resist when I saw her in the liftline to ride up with her. Usual polite banter until Greg and Bobble come down the hill. She says "I don't mind you normal snowboarders (referring to me, apparently she hadn't seen my board) but I dont like those guys that much. I was at _______ (rhymes with belch) and there were about thirty of them out and I couldn't ski anymore." At this point I showed her my board and her only reply was "Oops, I'm sorry." No more conversation. Don't know if anyone has ever gotten a close look at her but damn she needs a dentist and a shave. HOW DO I GET OFF THE LIFT WITHOUT FALLING? The rather tall girl who asked our advice on how to get off the lift. After Bobble's remark about bragging rights I felt the need to say Hi and throw some vertically challenged white boy mojo on her. Ok, she could have dunked over me but I thought what the hell. Saw her at the bottom of the hill and asked if things were going better for her. Small talk ensued until her equally tall boyfriend or brother came over (ok it was Chad from ski school) to save the day. Walked away with my tail between my legs feeling like dumba$$. I think that this was my last day of the season and was glad to get some turns in with everyone. Have a good summer!
