willywhit Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 teleboarder sighted at Wachoo last night. Where was the crew ? Great powder, kinda slow tho. Ethan showed up and who was the guy on the Madd 170 with the ~tb-esque black/silver gear on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Heard on the ride up, one guy explaining to another, "that's one of those teleboards." I'm thinking in my head "how the f@#$ do you know what a teleboard is in the first place?!" This guy has three kids with him, all the gear he has is obviously very outdated. I'm judging the guy but he's obviously not a hardcore rider. He recognizes an alpine board for a teleboard? I wouldn't believe it either if I didn't hear it myself. I have noticed this season that more of the younger boarders at my local hill recognize what type of equipment I'm riding. That's pretty cool.

mirror70 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Willy - that sounds like Steve Fleck. He's an instructor there and reads this forum occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWriverstone Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I laughed my butt off reading everyone's stories here! :) I couldn't resist adding one from my other sport, slalom kayaking. BACKSTORY: slalom kayaks are like alpine boards---long, sleek and fast! Kayaks that 99.9% of all other boaters paddle are stumpy and dorky-looking (like those "blade" things). Take a look at <a href="http://shadepine.com/kayak_d-evo.jpg" target="_blank">this photo, </a>and you'll see what I mean. (I call it the "de-evolution of the whitewater kayak", and it's scary how extreme it's gotten...) Slalom kayaks slice and dice huge whitewater every bit as much as jug boats (and with far more grace and speed, I might add). Some friends and I were sitting beside some waves on the Potomac River, when some "clorox bottle" kayakers paddle up and ask (in all sincerity) "What do you guys paddle in whitewater?" Scott PS - Alas, slalom kayaks are much more scarce in the paddling world than carving boards in the boarding world. There are, maybe, 150 in the entire country? (Out of tens of thousands of kayakers!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 mirror, he said he'd been riding the teleboard for 8 seasons and knew the bros from NH that do all the demos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
