the next time anyone tells you Jake or Tom invented snowboarding
quest4powder replied to b0ardski's topic in The Lodge
I was stoked to see a 'bunker' from the 1930s in the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum in Vail: http://www.westword.com/2011-11-10/news/snowboarders-finally-accepted-on-the-slopes/ Some other info on the Bunker and Turkish Lazboard: http://snowboarding.transworld.net/1000116837/featuresobf/the-very-first-snowboard/ http://thebigadriver.blogspot.com/2009/12/origin-of-snowboarding.html Way older than old school. -

Da ultimate challenge: 360 carve on snowboard
quest4powder replied to Vahur's topic in Carving Central
After reading the 'can U do a 36o' threads the last few years (all w/o video) I was stoked to give it a try. I found I could get a carved 360 around if I did it on a gully trail, carving up a steep, high wall (w/ packed snow) on the side of the trail. What worked for me was to come in fast on one trail and carve a hard heelside up the steep wall. This provides enough speed to ride the up the intersecting wall and to accelerate back down to complete the circle-arc. There's probably other ways, but this is one way that has worked for me. ________ Granny live -
Hey, Justin, Sounds like you got a good deal on 'try before you buy' lodging through your work. T-Ride is a fun and funky town in the rugged and beautiful San Juan mountains. But, alas, it has been discovered, and property values in Telluride are no longer low. Telluride, Colo. Telluride is a 19th-century gold and silver mining town in the southwest corner of Colorado. Zoning laws have preserved the historic brick buildings and Victorian houses that line Main Street. Wedged in a box canyon surrounded by the San Juan Mountains at the end of a state highway, Telluride is clearly remote, but not isolated. The town?s annual international film festival attracts a cosmopolitan crowd, who are discovering Telluride?s allure and returning to buy homes. Coming from Mexico, France, South Africa and Australia, these buyers ?have a lot of experience around the world and have decided Telluride is the place they want to invest,? said Mr. Saftler of Telluride Premier Properties. He said today?s vacation buyers in Telluride are ?looking to get into the market at a lower level,? although that level has risen to $625,000, compared with $425,000 two years ago. Second-home owners seem to be in two camps: those looking at properties priced around $625,000 and $650,000, and those willing to spend $6 million or more. ?The $1-to-$6-million market has flattened,? Mr. Saftler said. ?There are some good buys right now in the $1.5-to-$2.5-million range.? A two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in town with 1,000 square feet is $1 million. Buyers willing to look 35 to 45 minutes outside Telluride, in places like Norwood, can find 1,200-to-1,400-square-foot homes with two bedrooms for $240,000 to $260,000.

Not to stir the pot, but is there a difference between sharing info on powder stashes and Ebay "stashes"?________ xxSHINxx live

Sorry Tex. Even though I'm not unaware of your strong feelings about revealing the goods (if you want to call a retroboard like this "the goods"), I feel even stronger that, in a CO-mmunity, it's good to share. FWIW, I'd also share some favorite powder stashes with you, too. ________ fat woman Webcam

This is an interesting discussion. It seems there are at least two main schools of thought here: 1. Uphill rider has responsibility to ride in control--meaning that they can always stop or turn to avoid obstacles below them. Knolls and blind corners are approached with some caution, anticcipating that there might be someone below (code rule #1) 2. If on first inspection the coast looks clear, go for it--expecting there will be no one stopped under inviting knolls, catwalks, or blind corners (code rule #3 or #4). I was thinking about this as I was driving through a residential area today, and wonder if there is some correlation between riding and driving. At each intersection I found myself scanning for oncoming cross-traffic, just in case someone blew through the stop sign. I believe it's called defensive driving, where you are ever-alert for sleepers who might ruin your day--even if you have right of way. As people don't have to get a license to ride a board or skis, it seems even more likely that you'll find folks who do dumb things on the slopes, and being "bonehead-aware" on the slopes is as good an idea as it is on the road. ________ Shaved Pussy live

The phone company recently made DSL available here in the boonies where I live. I'm on tap to be hooked up, but instead of picking up a DSL modem from Qwest @ $60, I thought I might buy one on Ebay. 3 Questions: 1. Is a DSL modem specific to a carrier (i.e. Qwest, verizon, etc.)? 2. Is any particular type preferable to another? 3. Anything else a newbie should watch out for? Thanks.

My understanding is that one of the main reasons instructors learn to ride switch is so they can do better demos for visual learners who ride the opposite stance. Riding switch, a regular footed rider can make moves that a goofy-foot student would make, and vice-versa. It seems to me this approach works with low stance angles or riding duck. Do you think it is as effective a teaching aid when it's done on an alpine board with high stance angles and hard boots? ________ Washington Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

Many years ago I rode with a guy who regularly threw smooth, floaty 360s off the catwalks. Other than him, though, I haven't seen any hardbooters throw spins. Does anyone here spin 360 or more on their carving setup? Any tips for someone who wants to learn how? Thanks! ________ Lesbians Live

1. Are speed suits banned in FIS events too? I know they might not look as cool to some riders as the 'baggy pajama' suits--but they undeniably would reduce wind resistance and might make the difference in a close heat, yes? 2. In Winter X, the heats had six riders, in the Olympics, four. Is a four man heat the FIS standard? Other than Winter X, do other events have six/other # of riders in a heat? Thanks. ________ Buy vaporgenie
