Blue Bird

sounds like something that would happen on either coast

You don't look a day over 18! Hopefully we will hook up this summer!! I will also give you a call when I get back (I am in AZ this week on the street bike).

Thanks for taking my pooch to a party, that is awesome!! she didn't run away did she?! No news is good news! Thor Rocks!!!

The european bikes generally have more expensive and harder to find parts. If you buy used the newer you get the fewer problems you will have. They all break My bias is towards Yamaha because I have owned, raced and wrenched on them. All of the big 5 manufacturers make good machines, but all have their quirks as to what is going to break or need attention. From your description I think that a 450 would suit you best depending on your aggressiveness or riding intention. I believe that a 450 would be less maintenance than a 250F and offer greater versatility. The down side is the added height and weight. If you think there will be a 10-20% chance of pavement riding I would lean even harder towards a 450. The type of trails is what would sway me back to a 250F from there. Good Luck

my plan is AM carving and PM skiing on all of the none carving areas

Stan, tell everyone the good news that came out of your trip!!

Thor and I are coming over....I feel a need to explore the upper mountain and Thor needs one more carving buzz....What say ye honorable Lovey riders!!!???

.......talk to the people that you were training with?......ask for their recommendations? .......if you were "training" at Copper I would hope it was with Sean?..... with his experience it seems like a few ideas of how to be successful and on a budget would be available

...My tatttoo reads "Norwegian-French American Special Purpose Pleasuring Powerhouse" all in a size 64 font, of course Yeah......it's a curse

depression is having a ski area 5 minutes away that closes on sunday with a 100" base. It might be melted by the end of May, probably June. Let the rain begin and let it deluge!!!! Oh yea, we are suposed to get another 12-15" before the weekend

this is WP's last weekend. I will be out there most likely on Sunday. PM me. Snow is still in great shape and more is coming. Closing with a 100" base, definately an Intrawest decision. Thor is out of town and won't be back in time.

yes, posts = skills. Makes sense, huh!

because you're a noob and you don't know how to carve a turn yet.... at least by the number of posts you've made.. if it were by your oh hell i'm to drunk to post..........

it is only as exciting as the giver makes it. I have had gf's whose technique was varied enough that I was always looking for the next. I think that her secret was that she tried new things to keep it entertaining for herself. Some other gf's did the same thing again and again. it tended to loose its novelty. Don't be afraid to break the rules (if there are any) and have fun while it's business time. It should be more than just a chore!! You should receive in kind what you give. Now I want to go home and get down to business time....

........and it is going to be a big year down there also.... Northern Colorado is about 30% above normal snowpack levels this year and southern Colorado has been getting way more snow. don't forget to check if you will need a permit

ignorance is bliss

my experience with the Head boots (new '08) is to definitely T Nut. The stock inserts are worthless for intec's. Haven't tried them on my Raichle's yet

If you're implying that I am whipped also, you couldn't be closer to the truth. I think that mine is imaginary though. as often as I see her she must be a figment of my imagination.

If you are having trouble embedding video's check your "User CP" here on Bomber. Under "Edit Options" scroll to the bottom and look at the last section "Miscellaneous Options". This needs to be set at "Standard Options". I think that this will allow you to embed

Thor VonWhipped-a-ton? I hope it means that the drought is coming to an end.

sounds like a good reason to take a road trip to Colorado

can't make it on this trip...too much time off last week. Sounds like a good time though. Have fun:biggthump

ecnalubma, it was good to talk to you for the minute that we did. I'm bummed that you weren't able to go to SES, lots of fun. It looked like you were having some good fun on the splitty. It was Hotbeans and I that you met. Hopefully we will get together and make some turns :D BB

FT - I won't be able to get to Denver and it is looking like I will be at Vail Friday night (after the banquet) and Saturday. Sorry.

If you have the room bring the carving board and drop me a line. Hotbeans will be out here next week also. On Friday we have been talking about heading to Aspen to catch the final day of SES and the banquet. Maybe riding over there on Saturday also. The snow is good, drop me a line
