Jack M Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Fin, you're so two weeks ago. http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5515 How old is that pic though? Either it's really old, or that guy with the Burton Air really needs a new board, or has Burton resurrected the "45" logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think the pic is that old for several reasons: -Everyone's wearing a helmet -The nose on all boards (freestyle and race) are quite short compared to the old Air Kelly and race boards -The raceboard is quite narrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also spray painting the lip of a jump wasn't very popular until the late 90's as well (from my experience). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenglow Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 This shot was from last December at the Grand Prix in Park City. There was also a shot, two or three years ago of me in SNOWBOARDER hitting a 1/4 pipe. I like to do do big straight airs on my race board. I'm quite surprised on how stoke people like Ross Powers, Andy Finch and others are when they see that you can ride a pipe with hard boots. You here a lot of wow and cameras clicking on the way down.

ar(angel Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 This is the mission of me next season......I'm gonna try hitting rails and smaller jumps first, but I'm told from the locals at the mountain that alot of the young pups riding alpine on the hill are hitting the terrain park in between race runs (little bastards). I gotta try this out....even if it kills me..... I doubt I'll EVER be close to that though...WOW!!! soon to be reporting from my hospital bed....

gdboytyler Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 My mission this season was to carve black diamond runs. Mission accomplished! Next season, my mission will be to get 3 feet out of the pipe:eek: Right now, I'm only getting a foot out, so I've got a ways to go. But I'll be riding a freestyle board and soft boots. I'll leave hardbooting in the pipe to Damien Sanders and Jeff Greenwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
