KingCrimson Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Aerodynamics referred to the rider. I don't think skis and snowboards have much wind resistance...at least when ridden properly! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photodad2001 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Aerodynamics referred to the rider.I don't think skis and snowboards have much wind resistance...at least when ridden properly! :lol: Doing a straight up Rocket grab (no tweaking to the side) on a 171 with an uphill wind can sure be felt!!! But then not "alpine" riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 You brought freestyle into the equation?!?! Now it's all gone downhill! But perhaps that's not so bad :) I'll tell you what, I hate uphill wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photodad2001 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I was out one day a few years ago and the wind was so strong it could stop you if you stood up straight and held out your arms!!! It blew me backwards at the top of the hill where it was flat!!! The only way down was the steeper runs or staying in a tuck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 That happened, but it was a combo of wet powdery snow falling and wind. I couldn't descent a blue circle without pointing straight down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCrimson Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Or...the San Antonio mountain range. But close enough. Baldy gets that wet power, then it freezes at night, then it gets windy during the day and it all gets blown off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coloradoking Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 if i wasn't so straight i would suggest we all wear speed suits and stop the wind argument :D but who am i to talk; i compete in one all the time :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gleb Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 you guys forgot about cool boarders 3. they had gates too. Coolboarders 2 is how I found out about alpine boards. Good times. I never did earn the best character in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ESPI Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 ok, this is perhaps the lamest thing I've ever seen. Reminds me of "monster rancher"..... a game an ex girlfriend was addicted to. It has all the same feel to it, and the graphics really are poop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Why don't you post some pics! Um, for the ladies I mean... yeah.:o Bomber Pedophelia. CB2 has 3 secret characters, Grey, Snowman, and Boss. Snowman is a snowman (really?) on a frying pan that goes endlessly fast but cannot turn, Grey is a grey (wow) alien on a little UFO that can do any spin trick, such as a 5000 degree spin, and Boss is just a...decent character.

Dave ESPI Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 colorado, thats some wicked agressive Canting you have there, or a lot of boot slop in the bindings! Perhaps its just the angle of the pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Look at his profile picture, it looks like some hardcore canting and little knee clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coloradoking Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 it's just 3 degree cant and i have the boots close to locked out; it's a combination of the angle of the pic and the fact that i have a really forward style of riding; not like chris klug forward but i put my hips and lower body forward and down to push the board through the turn quickly. works for me :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
