Mats Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Had a great day with Tom Palka and Lisa. We had some really nice runs down Copper Gulch at Ajax. Found a nice frame with Tom and me both riding 192 SuperSwedes in the giant halfpipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpalka Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 It was a most excellent day, Mats! Thanks for letting me ride the SuperSwede, it already found a new home :) A few more shots I liked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoetrencher Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Although a great exercise, it is really difficult to mirror someone's track as well as you have in that last pic! (Even if you're both riding the same board those are two amazing shots; before and after) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carvedog Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Wow - that Super Swede looks like a hoot. What's the waist width on that puppy? Looks like my next all mountain board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mats Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Wow - that Super Swede looks like a hoot. What's the waist width on that puppy? Looks like my next all mountain board.

GeoffV Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I want to see some footage on Aztec. That bowl is great but man it is a quad burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpalka Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Lisa was Carving the Wave as well Absolutely :) She shot all the footage so she didn't make it into the synchro footage... but I did get a shot of her moving between filming stations!

tpalka Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Although a great exercise, it is really difficult to mirror someone's track as well as you have in that last pic! Thanks -- it's a good exercise indeed, and I think there's a lot of stoke to be had when trying to match turns with a good rider just a turn ahead -- for me it's just about the best... esp. when the guy ahead is trying to throw you off! Here are some frames from an overhead video, a friend caught us (mostly me) from the gondola on the way down after lunch. I got it after putting up the movie on youtube, and it only catches two of our turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
