  1. If he can't make it then maybe I'll get bumped up the list. Maybe I should just enter the Retro category next year so I can actually race. On a side note...Snoqualmie is closed until further notice. I wonder how long it will take untill the rest of W. Washington is shut down. Hopefully these temps will come down soon and we'll get blasted like the rest of the country. ________ Granny Black
  2. Interested in the Freesurf setup? What is the mondo size on the Nordica's? ________ COACH PURSES
  3. tpalka... Not so crazy of an idea. I just bought a pair of skis similar to bigfoots. They were dirt cheap and included bindings similar to the splitboard bindings. My idea was to have something I could throw a pair of kicker skins on and use as approach skis. I also wanted a pair of junk skis to mess around on when I'm playing with the kids. If you want to put TD-2's on the skis you could check with Fin and see if the tele adapter plate would work. ________ Gang bang japanese
  4. Thomas, Are you going up to the Summit on Saturday? If so we could take a couple runs together after I get off work and work on that toeside. K. ________ UGGS

  7. Originally posted by Sean Hmmm... PN3 in the line shack? Get on the skipper's bad side? What time/squadrons were you in? I was a Cougar (VAQ-139) on the Indy when we did that Gulf thing for George the 1st, then did a turn as an IP in 129 before bailing for the reserves in 95. This thread is definitely taking a wierd turn... Lol...No actually it was the CMC who was a YN that I pissed off. I started out in the line as an Airman, took the test for PN3, nearly aced it and didn't want to go to the office (Carpel Tunnel Release 6 months before on both wrists). My whole reason for taking the test was fast advancement to E-5 so I could cross over into the Army's CWO Helo pilot program. I ended up getting out in '96 after the CMC defrocked me for standing up for an E-5 friend of mine who he put in a "damned if you do and damned if you don't" situation. Both of us appealled to Board of Naval Corrections and won. My buddy chose to go back in (got promoted to E-6 and full back pay for the two years he was out) but I was tired of the BS so I decided to maintiain my inactive status. Most my time was spent with the Yellowjackets (VAQ-138). Went to the gulf with them in 93 for Southern Watch then went to 129 right after I got defrocked until I got out. ________ Kitchen Measures
  8. Sean, Wow...that brings back memories. I was a Prowler plane captain for a few years and was probably the only PN3 to work in the line shack in the squadron's history. I worked with a couple of airframers that did the Midway swap. I still love that plane but don't miss being stuck on the boat or being away from family. ________ NEXIUM LAWSUIT
  9. Thomas, I just sent you an message via ebay re: the boots and the board before I found this. Can I meet you somewhere to try them on? ________ Site:vaporizer.org/reviews
  10. I love the Giro helmet (9-9) but I rarely use the headphones. If I do it's on the lift or in line. Almost never when I'm riding because I rely heavily on the sounds of my edges on the snow and the wind rushing by when approaching terrain features. ________ Free joomla themes
  11. LOL..I'm like that without burning one. I've been bumped too many times and have had seals and sea lions pop up way too close for comfort. ________ Anal double
  12. D-Sub...does that mean I can bring the jr team with me?:D The Air Chamber at Bachelor is calling. 4 or 5 lifts to open Tuesday. ________ AVANDIA PREGNANCY

We're probably headed down to Timberlne this weekend, just can't wait any longer... T. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We definitely should all get together. Nate if you haven't gotten your pass yet you should have it soon (I printed it. :) ) I'm at West on the weekends although I bounce back and forth between all 4. Fridays will be split between Alpental and Central Park (improved half pipe w/snowmaking and lights) dependent on snow conditions. Hopefully we will get more snow soon but until then there's the Snow Expo next weekend and then a trip to Hood with the Donek Jr. Team thanksgiving weekend. ________ Nexium Settlement Information

  21. My oldest daughter started skiing at 3 and snowboarding at 6. My son started skiing last year at 2 and will try riding this year. Both Chris (at Donek) and I have 3 year olds that are going to be starting out this year. (:D Prototype testing for a future children's line :D) The difference though is that both (at least mine for sure) have been exposed to board sports since the beginning. First Christmas=First Skateboard at our house. Since there are skateboards, surfboards, and snowboards EVERYWHERE you can see why they wouldn't want to spend much time on skis (they're hidden in the closet). To get my son ready for winter I took an old POS skateboard and mounted bindings to it. http://home.comcast.net/~doneknorthwest/index.htm I'm also an instructor (on top of everything else) and I have to agree with Strider. Balance and strength issues are the biggest issues with kids along with attention issues. Starting out an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon is about all they can take. Back to the original question from Jonah I would start them on skis if they're under 7 especially if they don't do other board sports. If they start out skiing at least then they can develop strength, balance, edge skills, and most importantly a love for snow sports. ________ Subaru Tribeca Specifications
  22. I LOVE to carve. I also love to butter, hit the rails, launch of booters, and spin until I'm dizzy. I need something that does all of the above. Obviously I'm biased but the board for me that is the new Donek Twin 161. The twin is one of two new models coming out this year. (Phoenix is the other.) Same Donek quality and performance but in a more flexible true twin tipped package. It is completely symmetrical making switch riding much easier. ________ REVIEWS OF PORTABLE VAPORIZERS
  23. Anybody going to SES this year? ________ CHEAP UNCLE MIKES OFF DUTY CONCEALMENT HOLSTER
  24. Here's a short but good piece of reading on BX. http://www.boardtheworld.com/magazine/features.php?id=8 I'm just saddened by the fact there won't be one at Alpental this year. ________ Male Advice Dicussion
