ecshredder Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I lost my cousin and riding partner recently. I taught him how to ride and he was getting really good. Just wanted to post this in his memory. Derek Chance, 1980-2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softbootsurfer Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I too lost my riding partner Earl, who I taught to Surf the mountain many years ago...It has been 10 years and everyday I ride, Earl has been onboard. Sorry for your loss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Sorry for your loss. That's a great picture of the two of you. Sounds like you have some great memories with each other. My brothers and sister and I ride together whenever possible - one of them is on hardboots. We all grew up snowboarding and making turns together is a real bonding experience for us.

slopestar Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Sorry to hear about the loss of a close friend and fellow rider. Its nice to see other soft-booters rocking it over on rail. Make turns for your friend every chance you get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softbootsurfer Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 One of my favorite thoughts regarding Carving, is that the Energy from each turn goes out into the cosmos to mix with all the other Energies forever... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
