carverchick Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Going through snowboarding withdrawl? I wish I was somewhere with lots of pow or even just some corduroy that I could spend the day carving up. *Sigh* Sorry I'm venting Quote
Jon Dahl Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 My only withdraw-type pains come from not being left alone long enough to get into the backcountry, WAY too many chores around my house! Quote
carverchick Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Posted June 7, 2006 Well I am water-skiing & golfing but I would rather be riding. With riding you don't need a boat or chase a golf ball, just balls out riding & liking it. *Sigh* Quote
Sinecure Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 I'm definitely missing it. Its been a week and a half since I last carved turns and it will be another week and a half to two and a half weeks before I get to go again. Such a bummer. The good news is that traffic and posts on BOL and other sites have slowed down so I have a little more time to get work done during the day. After July 4 though, its going to get tough to find places locally to carve turns. And since I can't afford a trip to Chile, I'm going to have to get creative. Quote
carverchick Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Posted June 7, 2006 Well my last time on the snow was in April, so technically I've been in hell every since....LOL My boyfriend and I are planning to go to Chile in 2008, which doesn't help me right now :( So until then all I can do is hold my board tight and dream of riding into the sunset, well snow together.

skatha Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Don't want to hear it...I still won't be walking for another 3 weeks, let alone on my longboard getting my fix Quote
Mike T Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 It's only been a weekand a half for me as well. I'll probably hike up to the summit of Bachelor once or twice before too much melts off. In the meantime, longboarding and T-boarding (I suck, but its still fun)... and cycling mainly to get in better shape for next season. Quote
crucible Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Thank GOD for glaciers and my new Arbor Fish skatedeck...... George Quote
Gecko Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I just bought a Gravity C39 to get my fix cured through the summer...I have the whole build up waiting in RI for me (I'm in San Diego at the moment stareing at Mexico though the haze). Indy 159 (Stage 8's) 60mm 94a Spitfires oh I can feel the carve already. The nice thing is it's short enough to ride in the park but long enough to do hills and cruise through town with, though my wife is gonna say "ANOTHER SKATEBOARD???" sigh she just doesn't understand the meaning of quiver Quote
rwmaron Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 it's only 12 more days until the earth starts tilting in the right direction....... Quote
patmoore Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 it's only 12 more days until the earth starts tilting in the right direction....... Now there's a positive outlook! That just made my day. Last night I was dreaming that I had finally learned a full-out EC turn. Was really disappointed to wake up and discover it wasn't real. Quote
NMU Alpine Boarder Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 I haven't been on snow since Jan. 13th :( :( :( :( It could be a lot worse for ya Quote
Shred Gruumer Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 Just go out and buy your self a Ducati... All will be done! Right Said Shred Quote
Gecko Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 there is a reason Buell's moto is "own the corners"... HEY Shred how are you doing raising the the $65,000 for Ducati's newest creation? Quote
tpalka Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 If you crave snow, eat some :) The Crest trail still had too much snow this time of year, but it was a fun ride nonetheless. More here tom. Quote
skatha Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 it's only 12 more days until the earth starts tilting in the right direction....... Actually, the earth maintains a fixed axis 23 degrees off the vertical-it's the position relative the sun that changes The earth does precess around it's vertical(north-south) axis, but that process takes 10,000s of years Quote
tpalka Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 how's the recovery? Ha ha, just fine. The snow was so soft that it was fun, no injuries at all. I did it twice, and we slid on our bellies down some snow banks. Fun stuff, recommend it to all :) Quote
tex1230 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 actually was asking skatha but glad you're ok too... :D Quote
carvedog Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 arcs, but I have distracted myself by planning a couple of river trips - only one worked out. My group caught the second peak on the Middle Fork Salmon for four fast-flowing days and I had my first out of boat experience on that river after 50 some trips on a huge hit in Velvet Falls. Allright, enough about rivers, but with the snow we have feeding the white goodness into the melted goodness, this is now and going to be a great year for boating too. Quote
