garybergmann Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Last week I got a "he's one of those good snowboarders"...pointing at my hardboots and board. I'll take it! Today, strapping in to my BXFR I hear "hey, a Coiler"...so I turn around and find myself apologizing to Mark Fawcett for stealing the color scheme from the Slice...he thought it looked familiar. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 On the chair: A little ski racer, having a break from training and just riding with his dad, was asking the dad about different types of snowboarding. Dad listed them to the best of his ability and finaly mentions Slalom snowboards (not looking at me on the far side of the chair). Kids eyes go big: "Do slalom snowboards even exist?!" I just tapped the kid on the shoulder and lifted my OES SL 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Too many positive inquires from people 20 and under to count in 3 days. CO is a special place. Also- thanks to the softboot carving market for making it cool again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossamer Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I had two surfers today asking if I was mono skiing, Shame on them. I'll excuse Ozzy, I'm pretty sure he was high! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martock_carver Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 First run today a softbooter (mid-30's) checks out my F2 in the lift line: "You guys can REALLY carve on those things! It's so fun to watch!" Me: "Yep, it's real fun to ride too!" What a nice way to start the day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelp, at the lift line, we bump into one-another and she says,' We always thought you were a skier?!" I said, 'I won't hold that against you.' I am on the chair with my French-Canadian friend as two more join us on the quad. They had a strong accent so my friend asked them if they where from France. They said yes and spoke French with each other then they turned to me and said how much they enjoyed watching my turns and haven't seen that since they were in the Alps years ago. That was pretty flattering. As I walk home, another neighbor is unloading her car with a friend. I stop to say hello when she starts telling her friend she should see me this/that/the other. I say,' Yeah, I'm always listening to Slayer.' The neighbor and I laugh but her friend said, 'Right on!'....and she was serious! That was a little creepy.

ibrussell Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 I have a teleboard 12cm waist run tele bindings on it 2-3 times (runs) a year when it's soft and I'm brave. have to keep perfect balance or it's a face plant. So when they call by 20cm Coiler a Teleboard I say no that my other board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 1 hour ago, FrankNBeans said: Hearing the usual 'speed board', 'downhill board', 'slalom board' stuff, I am still puzzled by the 'tele-board' reference. I just can't wrap my head around how someone, anyone could come up with that. Tele-board?!?! I can't imagine I am the only that has heard that. Has anyone that has heard that asked what that even means? Teleboards were an actual thing like 25 years ago. Imagine a Skwal mounted with telemark bindings, ridden with telemark boots, and poles. They went the way of ballet skiing and snowblades. However they ran an effective free demo program and gained a lot of exposure pretty quickly. At least they did here in the Northeast. I still get asked if I'm on a Teleboard now and then. Drives me up the wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
