jl1 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Chubz, thanks for taking the time to break out the camera and posting all the pics! Look foward to riding with the gang again. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I have always loved being behind the lense, but back in the day 35mm was just too expensive so I quit. After finding some new subject I loved (carving) it gave me good reason to get back into it, plus besides the camera and lense, its fairly cheap, until you start framing and printing, but even then you can come up with way to keep it cheaper. I am self indulgent with seeing shots of myself but I also like providing that indulgency for others. I love seeing smiels come to people face when they see a cool pic. I think I would have preferred being apro photographer than what I do now, so I dip into it from a hobbie standpoint. Here are some I was messing with. Can you guess what # 3 is?

Chubz Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Folks Last day JBS and I were out together. Saturday, but I went skiiing sunday and JBS got one last carve day in couple shots from the day, which was great, once it got to 1pm. I love the first shot that Jesse shot, because it shows the both HS and TS track, wish I had a sequence. It was my last turn to set up for the pic in the next post.

fonzone Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 UPS dropped off my new Coiler two weeks ago and I'm really looking forward to riding it. I'm in for BMES. Anyone here planning to head up to ECES? I've got five guys in my group lined up for it. Should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 "Can you guess what # 3 is?" Well Greg, give it up, what is it :) Are you planning on going to ECES ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Greg and John, Happy to see everyone turning their thoughts towards snow. I agree about Blue's season pass price this year. I thought there was no way they would raise it over last year, but was I wrong! I would gladly give up the10% food discount and free tubing if they would know off a few $$$. Greg I think my legs might have to wait until the season starts. I can not seem to keep out of the water during my free time. See ya in the ruts....

Chubz Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 ECES, I sent my pitch to my wife, she initially winced, but I thiik I can talk here into it. I am looking at 3 days, maybe W-F, stay over T-R. I dont wanna be there for crowds. Jesse, let me know if that fits your schedule or what were you planning #3 is a set of boot suspension thru negative light snow. Just hoping for that cold snap soon. Next season I hope to be in aboat;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Greg, W-F sounds perfect to me, as long as we do not get in too late Tuesday night. Give me a call to discuss details and logistics..... Here is how I spent my last weekend. I pop in about a minute into it, orange playboat, red helmet and blue drytop. Small surf, but still fun.

jp1 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Jesse, nice Vid, who shot it ? Tohickon's a blast. I tried to get my bro's Condo for the week @ Stratton, but it's already taken :( Chubz, " Next season I hope to be in aboat " ?? (kayak) Dang, I may have to drag the boat out of the cellar next year.

JBS Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 jp, Kyle, new cat to the LV club did the video. It is amazing how much smaller and tamer water looks on screen. I did the Brodhead a month ago and had seen the drops on youtube before I paddled it. The 5' drop on youtube looked and felt about 12' as you were actually going over it.

Chubz Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Same here. I got a taste of that this summer with DH MTB. this rock coming off the top of it felt like dropping off a basketball hoop. Not me in the first pic, but one of the main drops in the course. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/3828972/ This is me, praying as I head into a soup bowl of loose fist size rocks. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/3829087/ Dirt jumps offered the same senssation. Feels like you are 5 feet in the air but you might be 12" I gotta change my settings to see the video but will give it a look. Season pass purchased today, GAMEON!!!!

jp1 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Jesse, Oh yea, like when I started to ski, and went to the top of Challenge for the first time :lol: I think the Tohickon and the Bushkill are two most fun local areas (I always liked creeking, except for the Beaver :rolleyes: better than BIG water). The Shades, Big Sandy, Top Yough are serious fun then comes the 'UPPER'. Drops and falls were my favorite, no skill, no brains, I can handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinpa Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Were any of you guys riding at Blue Moutain during the '01 - '02 season? I lived in Kunkletown back then and had a pass at Blue because my husband was a snowmaker there that year.... well, at least until he got injured when he rolled a snowmobile down an icy run! I don't remember seeing to many carvers back then.... Trying to remember what I rode then.... maybe still on the Burton Alp... can't remember. Anyway, I taught at Shawnee Moutain for a few years before that and also Camelback for a few. Do any of those places have any carving scene still? I've been in Montana now for 8 years..... had to leave Pennsylvania for bigger mountains and more snow! Hope you guys have a good season there this year. The mountain I'm teaching at now out here opened on November 14th..... I got two days on snow already, but now my car is broke down, so last weekend and this weekend I have to miss Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 kinpa, I personally was on 'sticks' in 02, and don't ever remember seeing a Carving Board on the hill until around 04, but I'm pretty sure their are a couple of 'local guys' that were riding before that. First Carving Board I remember seeing was at Killington, and that guy was 'KILLIN' it I knew then and there, I had to try it (and I'm still 'tryin') Blue's a nice local hill, most trails have a lot of character, rollers and off camber turns (unlike Camel) and we have a nice group when we can all get together. jp1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinpa Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I was instructing at Shawnee Mountain from 1995 to 1999 and we had a pretty good size group (probably at least 10-12) of instructors that were riding hard boots while I was there. Teaching responsibilities kept our riding sessions to first thing in the morning, but back then most of the instructors who were moving up in PSIA were in hard boots. That's just the way it was. Things have changed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
