why do you post stuff like this? Everyone knows you won't leave your beloved blue unless some pays for your gas and lift ticket?

do you actually buy anything, I always got the impression you buy used gear, yeah I guess I would be aggravated too if I was browsing and got approached to buy stuff that I would never buy.

funny.................... I always greet the sales people first with a "HEY! how ya doing? Stoked that the season is almost here?" or something along those lines.

took ya long enough to find this place.

I have it as one pm it's on the PASR calendar .. noob! I'll bring an extra set of lines for ya.

cool, I think I'll take nips to the BC premiere and then up to your place.

Time to move on to bigger, better and much more cooler things!

hahahaha - sounds like somebody we know.

nice filming and effects. hope you do that with some of your comps this season! What was the significance of the trophy? Award winning craftsmanship? Everything looks very tight - quality!

I have to get all the info I can, there is a large investment sitting opposite the trails. I already been once burned for not doing enough homework. THe progression of that mountain is very important, more so on a personal basis. Nipples is skiing for Big Boulder this season. At the same time, I am advising everyone at CB to as much as they will listen to. The problem in a nutshell is there is too much old school still firmly entrenched and the newschool is too afraid to step up to the plate. As long as they have the ticket sales they aren't going to try and truly excel at anything. Each of our mountains has niche markets they target. CB's ticket seems to be the weekend once or twice a season. Burton learn to program, park pass to protect the noobs, grass roots regimented freestyle program that will give parents a warm and fuzzy feeling. etc etc its cool, I just wish you would ask me directly. Thats why I was late to the ski meeting.

why? were you told that you weren't allowed or something? Or do you need a witness? want the phone number of my kid who was also on that tour. get off my ass.

Haha,, yeah really nice guy and really proud of CB, we talked about the old days before there were snow guns on every slope. I got the impression he has never been anywhere else in the last decade though. selling them............... oh gawd............. Man, I am rooting for them so much and little things like this hurt.

A few, just a few? Too bad we can't just run out and conduct a survey, I know that in a blind survey outside of the race room you will find that it is more than a few...

why would you not just get some batteries for it?

yeah - the security guy, forget his name at this insistence of Joe gave nips and I a 4-wheel drive tour.

it's perfect for the beginner park. let's hope - we got a personal tour of the pipe, it is about the same size as the one previously, it's a shame because I believe the could have easily extended it.

Futhermore, I am about sick of all the bullshit advice that I have heard. My kids don't live close to a slope, only weekend ski, don't train with any particular group or coach. They don't come from a family of athletic competitive snow sports. If you all have this idea that you do sports to be the best you can be, then maybe, just maybe, others could take a lesson from my kids on what they are doing to be good at what they do.

yes it is. Steven will race some at my insistence, not forced, he recognizes he has going to have to put up with his friends calling him gay. Who last year said I was punishing steven? Making him race was punishment? Steven said that. Just so he can still look cool. But we been through all of that.

Ridge is typing his response right now

You are a total ASSHOLE for construing my comments into using the words hate and resent. Where do I say that I am forcing him, ASS Racing is boring to him, maybe its just too easy. It isn't fun, its boring just like you.

everyone is different, every kid is different, I have a very different viewpoint than ski. why are you trying to figure one or a couple of reasons why kids do things? the tiger thing I think you are wrong on. His Dad I doubt, would have had him playing golf if there wasn't prize money. He would have groomed him into a different sport. It's a good question, that unless it was asked of him already, will never be answered. As far as Ridge goes. Racing started for him when he beat me down a Squaw Nastar Course fair and sqaure at age 8. He did a few more Nastar races against me, whenever I saw them at a resort. He always loved going fast, his brother, on the other hand, was always in the trees jumping off stuff and out onto trails. If we could post videos here I would post some back country jumps we built at Alta when he was really young. Ridge, ended a season with me checking his Nastar results. The following season, he remembered going fast and then seeing how he compared to other kids. He saw that he did really well comparitively. I joined here mid season, and listened to the likes of you JEFF say that Nastar wasn't nothing, "if he really wants to see how good he is he needed the USSA". The rest of the road is well documented. I will tell you this, he DOES NOT like USSA racing, it is boring to him. If you seem him ask him what he thinks, he will tell you if you are persisitent. He also recognizes that you can get better in other ways than joining a race team. For example, he was pissed that he felt like he never got to train on gates. I listened. I got him training in Breck for slalom because was disappointed with his preivious results. When he got back to the Derbies he did "really really well." He likes hanging out and skiing with friends but doesn't like the racing itself. At my insistence he is racing this year with his goal of the whistler shootout. He wants to take his mom to whistler to show her how awesome that mountain is. I really doubt he will want to race next year. He will tell you that he wants to change to freestyle, because it is more fun. Why must the majority of you think that you compete for the reason to achieve stardom, thats not realistic! nipples, lol! He likes being at the top, he likes the attention. He rarely talks about the stuff he has won or his sponsors or any of that. He doesn't need swag, he has double and triple of everything he could possibly need. He does it for the attention I would imagine. On the other hand he too just likes to have fun. " Comps are beat" He never wanted to race, he wanted to jump on steel thingies because thats what is cool. It was megan who told him he should try and compete. similar story as Ridge, one year he placed second at every NextSnow qualifier he was in (4 of them), that pissed him off. I explained to him that with local judged events, the local kid is always going to win unless it is obvious that you are twice as good. The rest is history. What motivates kids? their parents. No. It helps. but NO! Sponsorships unfortunatly, are to often gotten by kids who are good that want free stuff. Nipples is on a much different path.

yah........ I probably didn't use the word properly, it seemed right. the 2 boots have similar style, color, design.. something else about the SPK that shares with snowboarding boots is the lace cinch that tightens up the liner. hmmm.. think of those often? [inappropriate image removed]

hahahahaa stirrups, those are the things that hold the boots. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=73601250

awww c'mon man.. it goes well with the saggy pants, jerseys, xxl jackets, doo rags, goggle gape and knit hats from yer grandma. naaaa- it's probably some type of prototype design for the boot. ya gotta admit though, it is a good look.

yay..... I already had it in the calendar. I edited in bold font the terrain park position. It will pop up at the top of the forums page http://www.paskiandride.com/forums/index.p...mp;event_id=215
