Cans are where its at. No big line, multiple people can get one at the same time etc. The only drawback is that in the morning you have a can on every flat surface for 33 miles.

Most apartments don't allow you to have kegs. Also, the frats aren't allowed to have kegs. Not to say they're not around. Penn State Snowboard Club always has kegs, and a few other places but for the most part its cans.

So they've got 19 new jibs, plus a few more they're working on plus what they had last year. Don't forget about those jump things too.

Wow, thats a lot of rails/boxes. I can't wait til the snow hits.

Thats awesome, you're definately in for a treat. You've got to go to Canyon Pizza around 2 am too. $1 slices ftw

Nice. Rails to Riches was sick last year. I'll be up again this year, then theres the party at the Peak, then the party in my room.

Well I'm going to have to pull some kind of lawsuit here then. I don't know what kind, but it can't be class action or else we split it w/ everyone here and I only get 42.1 cents.

w00t PSU is where its at. #2 party school in the country what what.....

It least I don't have to feel quite as bad for missing out this week.

If you want awesome faces I'm over bald guy in the back. Is it a rictor beez requirement to have crazy long curly hair?

Anyone want to schwing by centre county?

Definately very interesting. Maybe something worth trying to find if we get a big dump.

This is really killing me. The PSU trip is Dec. 1-2. I'm not worried about no snow, but there may not be all that much open which worries me.

I'm glad this whole thing is done with now too. I was even getting a little worried about things getting done but it looks like it'll all work out for this season. I think us locals should do somethign to celebrate this new era in NEPA skiing/riding

They've had them on some trails at Jack Frost in the past. i've had fun with them.

That sounds Sick!!

Eh, I'm sure he's ok. Its been my experience that when you slide down the rail like that its a much lesser wipe out than others. Looks a lot worse, but really isn't. I realy screwed up a boardslide at Boulder last year and slid 2/3 of the down flat down box, like 4 people ran up to me thinking I was dead, but I just popped up and hit the next jump.

I did look into those boots. They look nice and would be cool. I've got a great pair of boots though (salomons) and are pretty small the way it is. It would only bring me down to an 11.5 and thats still a big boot. I"m really trying to avoid risers if at all possible. The whole idea just kind of bugs me. I can't imagine it to be as smooth and it kind of seems like i'd be standing on little stilts or something, bad for any type of freestyling and it seems like it would be a lot harder to land jumps.

I'm kind of turned off to Burton lately too, but the Baron seems to be a decent board. Does anyone here have any experience with risers? I've never used them or seen anyone else use them.

I'm on a 2001 Burton Floater. I can't give you an exact waist spec right now, but I'll see if i can have someone at home measure it for me.

I'm usually somewhere around +12 up front and -7 in the back. I'd say the 40 60 thing works pretty well. If there is good snow I'll probobly spend the majority of the day all over the place, but if its not all that great or i'm at Tussey I'll be hanging out in the park.

I can see where KISS is coming from, thats the first impression you get when you see it. I hope PASR doesn't get sued by DARE.

I really thought the stuff after CB had been put there by Doug or just for Doug.

Ok so i'm starting a new thread so the helpful gear links one doesn't get completely destroyed. (is it possible to clean that up?) Stats: Height: 6'0" Weight: 200lbs +-5 Boot Size: 12.5 Looking for: All around wide or mid-wide board. Need something for snow days when I go into the woods, groomed days when I'm ripping it up, and something that can handle the bumps on Lightning. We all know that the East Coast can get boring though. I'm starting to ride more and more park, and lets be honest Tussey only has 3 trails so the only thing to do sometimes is jump and jib. Initial idea was a K2 Nemesis, now I'm thinking thats not such a good idea because It won't give me enough in the park. KnuckleDragger suggested the Burton Baron ($499.95). riderrossi suggested the Rome Flag ($479.95) In addition I've looked at the Burton Royale mid-wide ($399.95) and the Forum Recon ($299.95). I like the specs of the Royale, and the only drawback to the Recon is that the biggest mid-wide they have is 156. Anyone have any further input on these boards or others like them?
