  3. Who likes nice watches?

    in The Lodge

    Posted

    Rather than wear fake i prefer to admit having blown all my money on sporting equipment and wear cheap Seiko... However, as much as I like good watches, for some reason I got tired wearing them... hell knows why, just realized that mine was laying without being winded for a while now... Gives me a reason to chase down cute chicks on slopes, just to ask them for the time... :biggthump:eplus2:

  5. Heard on the Slopes

    Gotta love these "Heard on the Slopes" threads... :biggthump One thing i've noticed in Montreal area, people are kinda shy of hardbooters... or maybe that's because i look like the russian guy from Rocky-3... :cool::smashfrea Anyways, I hear very often people whispering in lift lines or off the lift "Oh, that's one of these racers!!!", as if I was from another planet... Occasional jibber would pop on a lift with me and ask some questions, i've been asked to race with them a few times.. had to refuse, I can't bomb the slope like these punks do... I have yet to hear the "slope-destroyer" one, I guess it isn't that much of an issue on the East Coast...

  7. How to go straight

    Back in the days when I was trying to figure-out the skidding thing on softies, I saw a hardbooter straight-lining in order to get to a wider part of the run i guess... anyways, one thing i've noticed, he was holding his hands behind his back... That looked really odd, kind of a penguin skiing... but when i got on hardboots, i've picked up the same habit... turns out it really helps on straight shots... Keeps me facing forward, relaxed and balanced.. IMHO...

  10. Reccomend me a board

    How about the Hot Blast 178 in the classifieds?

    thanks

    :D I was about to mention it, but it is no-beginner board... These are really nice and fun sticks, sidecut radius is a bit large for a freecarver, quite stiff, but at your weight it shouldn't be an issue... If you're ready to do some work when riding, may give it a try.

    alexeyga, you are right, it is way better to go to a regular doctor and take the pills the doctor prescribes. i am very sure that the trip to florida to golf from the drug rep wont sway the doctor on what to prescribe at all.

    Who was talking about regular docs? I have less believe in pills than I have in healing teas... And I've never said that chiropractors are paid for nothing, I'm paying one my-self on a monthly basis, but I'm just more than skeptic about number of treatments they prescribe...

    Hmmmmm lets see ignore what the professional with ten years of education on the subject has to say and yeah do it my way?!?!????

    Please research and find a good competent practitioner and then do exactly what they tell you to do. Nothing is more frustrating as a Doctor than to have a patient ignore your recomendations and then blame you for their lack of progress.:smashfrea :smashfrea :smashfrea

    I see your point and feel free to prove me wrong, but chiropractors make money from treatments, so more treatments they do, more money they get... Excuse me my skepticism, originally I came from a society were medical care was free and was 100 times better than what we have to pay for, so I have real issues believing these really honest "specialist" who's salary is a direct function of treatments number... But that's just me...
