tjones Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 you guys looked awesome, just curious who it was... I didn't get a chance to catch up with either of you, but it was fun to see! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSSage Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 It was probably me :) I was there for a while yesterday with my brother carving on his BX board. Where did you see us at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjones Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 we were spending most of our day off chair 9, then after lunch (around 1 or so) going down summit/miracle mile... done by around 3:30. snow was really nice all day even towards the end on miracle and summit, i was surprised, normally it gets super bumpy and tracked out. Been boarding for a few years now, but only hardbooting for a little over 1. so I'm taking my time avoiding super steep stuff, trying to clean up my technique before i do something bad and wreck myself hitting steeps lol. Still not used to the crazy speed hard boot boards build the second you point them down the hill... and i think i'm missing something in my technique preventing me from really railing the turns so trying to work it out on slopes that are not too crazy. :) I was riding my donek axxess 172. if I'm up there it shouldn't be too hard to spot me since my helmet has 2 saw blade looking rubber mohawks on it now lol :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take a video I could probably help you out or some of the other guys here.

I always chase down the hardbooters when I see them :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjones Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 yeah at some point my friends will help me get some vid of my riding... I'm fairly certain that's going to be enlightening... Frankly I think a lot of it is simply hesitation... I am still in complete disbelief when I pull the occasional face near the snow heavy carve and somehow come out of it standing... *laughs* still used to "regular" carving... not going much more than 30-40 degrees... so the huge level of faith required to push past the 40 degree mark on a regular basis is... still building. *laughs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
