jtslalom Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I dug through some of my older snowboard videos and popped in a Nitro video from 90 - 91. It's funny how the sport has progressed so much since then. Most of the people were team riders for Nitro and rode all disciplines which was really half pipe, GS and SL. One rider brought up bump competitions. Funny but I have NEVER heard of any bump competitions for boarders. Has any one else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 In the earlier years it was one of the main competitions. Back when some of the bumps were as large as the tranny of the "Half Pipe". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipstar Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Ah yes, I remember seeing Steve McNutt on that video, talking up carving, and then showing a fairly rudamentary carving skill. Not long after, I had to own an EFT; standing for earth freedom tranquility, don't ride the board let the board ride you, actually forget about the board. I think that was the first carving I ever saw.... Where did they come up with this stuff?! That first season of EFTS, there was symetric alpine carver, that would not look disimilar to the swoard of today. They had some nice kit.
