teach Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 The recruiting station got me. I didn't have a spiked belt or bandanna to trade in, so they wouldn't give me a hair cut (let alone a precision one), but the board is great! Coiler AM 177.

emorris Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I saw someone at Whistler in '07 or '08 and started looking online. It just looked so cool. Now I have three boards and I am hooked. I was riding last weekend and got numerous comments in the lift line. One guy was so hyped up he pulled out his iPhone and showed his buddy videos on You-tube. I got to get the cards. Hey teach, I'm in Philly too. Where do you ride? I will probably be going to Blue Mtn this Saturday. You? Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Our sport is growing... embrace it... it's good for everyone involved I only wish there was something like BOL when I started carving ... it would have saved me a lot of hassles I find myself skipping over a lot of the newb questions when I check into BOL... but I/we shouldn't... even though the subject matter has likely been discussed here before. If you have good information based on experience or remember a past thread that would be helpful, share it. It's the reason BOL exists. Where else can a person find equipment, information, and others to ride with? This website is where carving starts for most people these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teach Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 The socks are plain black, but you can't see them because of the leg warmers. They have chrome spikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pebu Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Occasionally I'll just leave a card sitting on a table in a restaraunt or something. Ski lodges work well because the tables are self bussed for the most part. Pick up all your crap and leave a single card... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the new school dad. I don't see how they ride with so much stuff on. Even when I was a young jibber I kept my pants up, knees together, neoprene face mask only if needed, and definately no wires. Tried wearing head phones once, hated it. (of course the stuff was considerably bigger and heavier back then and it was either listening to AM/FM radio or listening to a cd skip the whole way down... that or a casset) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet snowboarding can sometimes get overly opinionated and rambunctious. There is lots of good info shared on here and lots of b.s. also, usually not to hard to deciminate between the good and the bad. Welcome to Bomber! Think Snow!
