ruwi Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 My Wife would kill me too, but I reasoned out that our last all inclusive trip to Cuba was also all inclusive of her. First our 25th Wedding Anniversary, her Birthday last 29th April and Mother's Day this Sunday. She replied, one of these days you will have to pay big time:nono: I'd better start saving for another trip, meaning no new snowboards for a while:mad: I'll take her to a movie this Saturday.

Cousin of Beagle Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'll take her to a movie this Saturday. I recommend Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D. Easily the best movie of the year. Plus you wear cool-looking glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenorman Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 hi ONDREJ the entire vancouver crew enjoyed riding with you at blackcomb this sunday. we were all impressed with your riding skill. thanks for your thorough explanation of your upz rc10 boots to me during our long chairlift rides. i was undecided between rc10 and deeluxe 700 so after talking to you i decided to go with upz. i just emailed DAN YOJA last night and asked to buy the same boot and tongues that you have. i am going to stop over in OSOYOOS on my way to the vernon dh skateboard race on june 13th to try on the boots as i am thinking i maybe able to downsize to a pair of mondo 26.5 from mondo 27 with the new school low volume self adjusting upz liners. this way i can avoid the return shipping charges if i buy the wrong size. here’s the link to the vernon dh race for more information if your are interested: http://www.vernondh.com/Home.html if you aren’t doing anything on the june 13th weekend you may wish to catch a ride in my car to watch the race in vernon. it’s a long 5 hour drive but it is a hassle to fly with my dog and driving in the okanagan is quite scenic. i intend to stay at the BAVARIAN GUESTHOUSE again as they allow dogs in certain rooms. you can stay with me (i’ll cover your bill) or you may choose to stay in the racers’ camp as i am sure i can find you tent space with one of my much younger racer friends. just be forewarned that you may have to share tent space with GIRLS IN THEIR LATE TEENS TO EARLY TWENTIES with their annoying habits of partying far into the night and making sleep all but impossible. the vernon dh race is organized by my friend MISCHO ERBAN who is also fellow countryman of yours. not only will you enjoy seeing the similarities between dh skateboarding and alpine snowboarding but you will probably have a lot in common with MISCHO (he is about your age) as i think he still travels back frequently to CZECHOSLOVAKIA to visit relatives while skateboard racing in europe during the summer. if you can’t go, then let me know if you need any spare parts for your boots so i can pick them up while i am in OSOYOOS and save you the shipping costs. probably a good idea to buy some extra toe pieces and buckles before you return to CZECHOSLOVAKIA at the end of the summer. later doug p.s. i hope i don’t break my foot during the race then i won’t be able to try on the upz boots lol.
