LeeW Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 I recall this graphic was controversial issues between Burton and Lib Tech. I cant remember for the life of me who the racer was. Sadly the graphic was modified to softboots, tho im unsure if it was actually softboots as it was used for carving back then. I hope to find other Lib Tech guru who could share the knowledge of this particular graphic. Sorry, www.oldsnowboards.com, i couldnt figure out how to make an attachement of photos with that forum format. is there a way? Quote
tex1230 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 hmmm... I'll have to think about that one...I do remember the board and the problem with burton... Quote
D-Sub Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 its an interpretation of an ad from Burton with Victoria Jealouse. I think there were two photos...that I remember....with her just BUTTDRAGGIN...still some of the best lookin alpine shots Ive ever seen god its too bad some of these people abandoned carving. Quote
Sinecure Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 I think the original image looked something like this: What a great person. She's awesome in the TGR stuff: Oh, and she's pretty versatile: And did anyone mention super sexy: And if you didn't notice, is there a passing resemblance to Michelle? :rolleyes: ????? Quote
LeeW Posted June 17, 2006 Author Report Posted June 17, 2006 Ah, yes it is. How could I be retarded? Victoria Jealouse's sponsored by Burton, not Lib Tech, and the board itself had a "thank you" note to Victoria Jealouse. Got it off an ebay for only 37 bucks. Ive met her in real life before, and she's -salviating- hot. Quote
carvedog Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 But the first one of her compressed into the bitching heel side is to die for. Am I getting old, senile or what? Is that our Bomber girl in the bottom shot? Yowzah. Quote
D-Sub Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 damn thats a good pic michelle. not too keen on the VJ in a bikini thing. I admire her for her riding, not anything else. that heel turn..thats not the ad the board is from. theres an OLD burton ad...probably 95/96...thats the one the board graphic came from, because that board is probably 98 or so? Quote
LeeW Posted June 19, 2006 Author Report Posted June 19, 2006 looks like Ill have to go home down in New Mexico and shuffle thru all those old TWSnow's buyer's guide and look up old Burton ads. I for some reason believe it may be that photo, cuz of the cap backwards, and recall it's the pix. Unless if you beg to differ, D-Sub. Wish I could call up Mervin MFG, but trouble is that they shut down their Seattle factory/office as of last Friday and relocated to Sequim. Ill have to go up there in person with the board and see an old buddy of mine who's a CAD man for 'em. Quote
D-Sub Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 youre probably right, actually...it just seems too recent. the copyright on that photo is 04. or maybe thats...I dunno. there was definitely an old burton ad that had a similiar image. but yeah...the graphic on the board looks darn close to the photo, so...that means the board isnt all that old or the C2004 is somehow inaccurate Quote
kipstar Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Great beach foto; looks like Thailand?! Quote
skatha Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 You need to take a honey with you to take the pics, esp. if you go to Thailand..... I too prefer seeing V ride to seeing her in a bikini......but that's just me... Quote
Michelle Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 Great beach foto; looks like Thailand?! Yep, one of the islands off the coast of Ao Nang, doing one of the tourist day trips. Hey, I think I did a great job of taking the photo myself, with or without a "honey" although would have probably been more fun. Quote
FTA2R Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 for some reason, perhaps b/c she's riding plates and carving nicely, i have remember that ad- that is, the one that is leew's avatar. perahps it was b/c of her green jacket, hair, and ball cap. it's just a great photo. if i recall correctly, the text of that ad was "Alpine is Dead." i don't quite understand that, though....can someone fill me in Quote
carverchick Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Is this the picture you are referring to? Quote
D-Sub Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 that pic rocks, too. looks like it is from the same day as the one above there's an older one though...from about 95 I think... maybe Im remembering wrong. Quote
LeeW Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 Is this the picture you are referring to? This is so ironic I get to see this photo/ad while I just completed reading about USSA droppin' alpine events. How so true. Carverchick, would you be so kind to PM me because Im very interested in this photo/Ad you managed to scan (assumption here) ?? Id like to see if I could have a full sharp image of this photo file. Its sorta coming out blurry here on the bottom of the Ad. Excellent photo!!!!! Quote
FTA2R Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 I guess "Alpine is Dead" is sort of a joke in this case. something i'm not getting? I like it, but the meaning is apparently obvious to me. A great ad and great photo, nonetheless. Where can I get one? Quote
D-Sub Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 yeah, burton being ironic. too subtle I guess. "alpine is dead" combined with someone RIPPING turns. Seems pretty clear to me. funny that they completely abandoned not too long after. maybe they were making a business statement Quote
LeeW Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Posted July 1, 2006 Nope. I heard from a reliable source Burton's coming back. I got nothing else to say on that matter. Quote
