Jack M Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_snowboarding I wrote this, then other people have edited it (it was longer). Interesting how this thing works, I'm a newbie. Who is Tarret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjl Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Heh, I was wondering where that article came from (noticed the see-also link that showed up at the bottom of the Snowboarding page yesterday or today). Might as well throw the bomberonline link as an external link on there - wikipedians tend to frown on commercial links, but since the alpine community is so small and it's very hard to get information on technique or gear in any place other than online, I've managed to convince the local linkfarm police that bomber was worth keeping on the main snowboarding page. In fact, I used your "physics of a carved snowboard turn" article as an example of how there is useful, non-commercial information on the site as well. Actually, I'll probably go ahead and add that link now, since you're more attached to bomber than me. Wikipedia is the best thing ever, isn't it?

Alex Walters Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I added a 'main article' link to the alpine article on the general snowboarding page. I also put a link to BOL on the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Walters Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I changed some stuff around. It looks a bit messy now but I organized it in a way that I think would best suit a big article. I did that because I hope we'll all put a lot of input into it! I'm a wikiholic, I can't get off wikipedia, and I think it's only fair that alpine snowboarders have a large extensive article. I didn't change any of your origional text but I did add some very basic text to get any new sub sections I added started. Some of you guys with more knowledge than me (that should be most if not all of you) should edit and add to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy D Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Awesome! Another good source I can tell potential recruits about. When I get asked what the heck I'm doing, I can tell them to Wiki 'Alpine Snowboarding' for an answer. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Added the missing definition of an alpine snowboard, edit as you see fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Walters Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm not going to let this thread die. Again I encourage all of you edit (remember it's wikipedia anyone can edit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
