GeoffV Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Yes, we west of the Mississippi should bow down to the almighty skill and talent of our east coast bretheren. Skillless hacks we are, no talent, mere students of alpine snowboarding is all we could ever hope to achieve. All the true alpine masters heil from the mighty icy east coast. We out west all should just stop riding alpine, sell all of our gear and buy snowblades. Just pokin fun, don't get mad. East Coast Rules:biggthumpThink Snow! That's right buddy, you better bow down and role the red carpet out when we show up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDougall Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Kress - It looks like all that poking around has got the East Coast guys fluffed up a bit. All in fun that's just your way I know. I understand from Fin that is no ESES planned this year and we might get some of that crew out to Aspen. Those guys are great riders and love that "hero snow" we have. I love the excitement and intensity when getting together with a group of top riders.We all ride better. Hope some of you guys can come out - start making plans now. Prepare the wife and kids for your departure. Mark is alot of fun to ride with - however if you show up with any boards sub 180cm he mightgive you a friendly jab or two. A fresh groomer is starting to sound good - McDougall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We out west all should just stop riding alpine, sell all of our gear and buy snowblades. Just pokin fun, don't get mad. East Coast Rules:biggthumpThink Snow! Here on the East, we are taught from an early age that West Coasters are pot smoking hippies that can't hold down a job. So, years ago, I traveled west to see if that was true. I was pleasantly suprised to find that people out west did in fact have jobs. While most people I met were stoned, their attitudes were very pleasant. The lack of bathing was something to get used to - especially from the hairy women. All in all though a good experience. I lived among the west coasters for some time observing their bizarre mating rituals and eating habits (like putting avocado on everything). Upon moving back east, I found that my snowboarding skills had disappeared from riding their freshy powpow all the time. So I had to relearn hardboots all over again. If I had to do it all over again, I would bring lots of penicillin with me next time and some real ****in pizza. The pow sure was fun though.

Seraph, if you are referring to the gentleman with only two posts, it's not him. McDougall is one of those guys that must have finally figured out how to use a computer:eplus2:. Seriously, if you get the chance to ride with him at the SES, do it. He's an amazing rider. See you at Lovey, ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 SMcDougall is one of those guys that must have finally figured out how to use a computer:eplus2:. No sh*t, my thoughts exactly! Glad to see you post it up McDougall....I guess you're a good enough rider to have a BOL opinion now, eh? PS. Looking forward to seeing you in Aspen!

ar(angel Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 [quote name=GeoffV;311886. Seriously we've been out west' date=' all you need to do is lean over, sharp edges not needed carving in butter does not require that, most of you guys would sh$t your pants on the stuff we ride on. Just ask Fin, Sean and Joerg what they think of East Coast conditions and narrow trails. It's a hole different ball game.[/quote] Geoff with all due respect, I wouldn't lump all us West Coast guys together. I kinda took offense, albeit unwarranted due to my lack of skill, in regards to your comment about us "West Coast guys" not being able to handle your East Coast terrain. Shasta probably can't hold a candle to some of the gnarly, narrow, icy stuff you guys have to ride back east, but it can be difficult and challenging. I personally know of 3 riders here (Ralann, Trikerdad, & Sandman) that could probably hang pretty tough no matter the conditions or geographical location. I only make mention of it because you seemed to not originally know Snowman was joking, and the 3 riders I mentioned above are definitely skilled individuals who deserve more props than being lumped in with your perception of us "West Coasters". I understand you're a very good rider and could smoke me any day of the week, but I respect the guys I mentioned and feel they could stand toe to toe with anybody, anywhere.

*Ace* Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Very sexy board. Any base graphics? Seeing this board makes me want to get on a Donek skwal. Anyone remember Monodude's Donek metal skwal? Well I want that, but with this sexy carbon topsheet. East Coast Rules!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
