Rob Stevens Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Can't wait to see it, Phil. As goals go, It'll be right up there with the duck-foot, heelside E/C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willywhit Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 click on the camera, genius. that is one weird video with CMC and the gun in the beginning. I always got along with curt and his ego but that whole challenge thing was pretty silly. You learn alot chasing him around the mountain tho. I'd still rather chase Gilmour. Where IS Gilmour ? Hope he's back in force this winter. http://www.wendychao.com/ski/easter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I didn't see the 720 in that vid, either. CMC is skilled but he just left a bad taste in my mouth with his behaviour. PSR is pretty smooth. ETA is John healthy this year? Seems like he got busted up pretty bad on that teleboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike T Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 ... and only once. Not on purpose - laid into a hard heelside avoiding some idiot darting out of the trees straight at me. It worked - collision avoided AND I got to get a better look at him afterwards. It happened really fast and I have been unabled to reproduce it in 3 tyears since even though I'm a much less crappy rider now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened really fast and I have been unabled to reproduce it in 3 tyears since even though I'm a much less crappy rider now perhaps you tilted the board uber steep when the terrain was not uber steep? I seem to do that as a reflex when i get in "dear god i dont want to die!" mode (the panic right before nearly hitting somebody else). It resulted in a really tight heelside turn that i can't do when i try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossamer Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Come down to the bottom of the lift with alot of speed once and did 4, then the lift operator stopped me and wanted to check my pass. I told him not to bother me I told him "I'm Local".then again it could be the medical marijuanna my friend asked me to hold because his pockets were full and I'm a good guy?

On the Subject of Mr Gilmore; anyone know if he can be talked into doing it famous board setup clinic again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdea Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 is alright by me, a good tele skier is is so wonderful to watch, in particular if she has a nice rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipstar Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I think she looks pretty damn good. For the most part every time I go to USA, I never meet women who look even half this good. I need to stop hanging out at the buffet at Circus Circus perhaps? Quite a bit overweight, and probably needs to lay off the fast food :-) plus her hair isn't quite the same length on both sides, and it is possible that she has a freckle on her left hip, but all in all I am willing to overlook these small flaws....even though she is on teles. As for the 720 carve, as we say on another website, pics or it didn't happen. p.s. what does it rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Aspen Mountain (Ajax) is perfect for carving circles or more. Nto only is the whole upper section of the hill one big gully after another, at the very bottom of the gondola it rises up ever so slightly. On slow days I do one every time I get to the bottom.

pokkis Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Are you talking about carving 360/720 or bout tails spins? Carving 270 and doing tail spin is not hard but carving 360+ is tough call, for me atleast :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Aspen Mountain (Ajax) is perfect for carving circles or more. Nto only is the whole upper section of the hill one big gully after another, at the very bottom of the gondola it rises up ever so slightly. On slow days I do one every time I get to the bottom. That is the key, the shape of the hill. Good approach into a valley with a slightly higher side. Used to do it on the skis all the time until they put a PARK IN. It was perfect, out of the way. It was the perfect place to introduce people to a perfectly carved 360 circle. The track closes the circle without a skid. 720? That I have not seen carved. Sounds like a perpetual motion machine. We could definitly go more than 360 but not allot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Here is the search on carving a 360. It has been talked about several times. I have found that every piece of equipment has a "sweet spot". In other words, an optimal speed and tilt angle that the equipment will carve a circle best at. Find it and the circle just happens - and then some. Don't force it, feel it. (CB3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 This was also discussed at some length on the Epic Snowboard forum. I've done carved 360s up a sidehill, using gravity to help on the last part of the loop. Would be stoked to see vids of both heelside and toeside carved 360s. I've never seen figure 8s or 720s, and would be especially stoked to see vids of those. So post 'em if you got 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 There were several people taking video at MAC Tracks last year. I don't know what happened to them. There were definitely a couple of nice 3's on toe and heel. Barry? Scott? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
