Gcarve Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 That is so very cool! He probably turns a lot of heads when people actually realize he is almost 78 and still carving. Then factor in the fact that there aren't many snowboarders that age that still ride. Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkaholic Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Shin, Glad to see your dad is still at it, not only carving but still racing! Tell him I said Hi. His style is very similar to KarverKai at 70yrs younger in his "second run in hardboots" vid. Looks good on your dad. Ink BTW, you need to join the LCI some day at Loveland. Would love to ride with you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillipsbro2 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 not to take anything away from those 'competitors' (which is awesome...I agree and wish to be riding at that age too)...BUT - - - "the General", Richard Spector, takes the cake! He does not 'compete', but Dick will be 87 this year!!! Many of you know him from the Aspen Sessions. He will be out there a couple times this season (2013). If you see him, say hi, congratulate him on his decision to finally 'retire' (slowly over the next 2-3 years) from his law practice in Chicago. RIDE ON Dick, you are an inspiration to us all!!

powdahbonz Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think that may be only the 2nd time I've seen those hand outriggers....and to the General, I hope I will be that limber and setting edges like this...wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) boarding with poles??? freak!!! props dude, hope I can keep it up... lay it down for another 37 years!?! I remember somebody from colorado pushing those skid pads about 18-20 yrs ago, they certainly save your gloves, but even now I think it best to keep the weight on the edge and not on your hands and save your shoulder.

LENNON also invented the aero bars (i guess LEMOND owes his 1989 tour win indirectly to LENNON much to FIGNON's chagrin.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
