Getting popcorn re-reading this one and awaiting the return of DH.

Kid...lol. I've probably been snowboarding longer then you have been alive.


Seriously though how do hit nuts taste? Salty? You are at least the second person slurping them so I wanna know if I'm missing something.

I'm just trying to figure out if I should put effort into this thread or just ignore it.

we would all enjoy the effort because i know there will be some rippin' on people... but you would probably rather ignore it and spend 30 minutes doing something else.

Oh my god, this just keeps getting better and better.

Oh man, I got totally PWNED.

I'm gonna go watch some snowboarding videos and discover the true meaning of style.

Wasn't going for ownage, just wondering why all you guys swing and slurp his nuts?

You should...I can recommend some really good ones that show some steezy style. I mean there won't be any killer straight back flips...but there will be some other nice styling tricks.


AND...I'm still wait to for someone to explain or point out what is some mad stylish about straight flips. We are on like what 4 pages now and no one has come even close to that lol.

If you could I'd be forever greatful. Once I know what style is maybe people will give me some respekt and won't say I suck nuts anymore. Please recommend some where riders where headphones though. I've always wanted to ride to tunes but I never knew how to before. Surely if I see a vid I'll be able to figure it out.

Start with People and We're People Too. After you watch those I got a few more for you. Into some slightly older vids? Make sure to check Technical Difficulties...possibly the best video in the last 10 years.

Its funny there are so many bandwagon jumpers in this thread since all I did was call straight flips lame lol.

laid out backflip

sorry it doesnt have nate bozung or some other super shredder you love these days

First trick in JP's part > then Rippey's backflip.

Over corked 5, fs rodeo, underflip...call it what you will.

People this dumb should be shot immediatly. Seriously, this thread has provided entertainment but its just too much. Do you realize everyone here thinks your an idiot? We are talking about LAYED OUT BACKFLIPS, not "lame" straight flips. DH, just put this kid in place. And no I havent tasted his nuts.

What's so stylish about a backside 180? What about Marc Frank doing no-grab cliff drops? What makes a backside nosepress stylish?

Style is about 10% trick selection and 90% rider ability. I could watch Andreas do back rodeo sevens all day, but take your average snowboarder and tell him to do a back rodeo seven and I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that it would look average at best. Same with a backflip; yeah, your average rider at Bear Creek might be able to huck a backie and land it but it probably looks like shit, meanwhile guys like Ben Lynch or Travis Parker can float a completely laid out backflip over a sixty foot park jump and make it look better than any other trick done that day. For you to say that every single backflip in the history of snowboarding looks like garbage is both indicative of your attitude towards snowboarding and your own personal style. Personally I think front rodeos should have been left in 1998 but I'm not going to say that every single one is ugly and that (insert trick here) is better because that would be completely ignoring personal style, something that is of an utmost importance to me.

When I was talking about putting effort into this thread I was considering getting all my snowboarding videos together and putting together a compilation of the best backflips but I've since realized that such effort would be completely wasted on somebody who selects their tricks based on how well they would do in a contest.

LOL. Get a grip kid, we're talking about the same thing.

For the record I watched those backflip clips that were posted and I can't really say that I agree with any of them being anywhere near a top 3 backies of all time list :/

i hear ya with that but i finally found that clip of rippey onlnie cause that was the first thing that popped into my head we started talknig about laid out flips

BS 180's can be one of the most stylish tricks ever...thanks for proving my point by using MFM as an example.

Agreed. Take that same rider, have him chuck a backflip and a underflip. The underflip will look better every time and isn't any harder to do. Which is my point from the beginning.

Never said every backflip was lame. I said they are lame because it is one of those trick unless it is done just right..ala Travis Rice...looks lame. Again thanks for proving my point for me.

Good for you. The rest of the snowboarding world would disagree, especially since they are showing up all over the place again. I've seen switch underflips in just about every release this year.


Dude again comprehension...I don't pick my tricks on videos or contests, my point with that is if two tricks have the same difficultly level the one with more style will win. Just like a BS 180 scores higher the a FS 180 in a contest.

Pretty decent back rodeo 7 at 1:30

Fairly crazy backflip at 3:07 followed up by a no grab crippler followed up by some butter rodeo stuff

Really good back rodeo 7 at 3:57

well when your the fucking man like TP you can do whatever the hell you want

oh wow.

Please explain comprehension to me because I would like to know just exactly what it is in your personal definition that differers from the rest of the world. You are implying that certain tricks inherently have more style than others, my argument is that it has next to nothing to do with trick selection and relies heavily on rider ability. You prefer front rodeos to backflips, I understand that. Do you also think that everyone it the world should have the same favorite color as you?

shut the hell up burton71

Yes some tricks have inherently have more style then others. Take the best front board you have ever seen and compare it to the best back board you have ever seen...which would you say was the more stylish trick.

Hey chill daver. We should be so lucky as to have someone named "burton71" impart us with the wisdom of what is stylish and what is not. Plus he gave me some killer advice on which movies to watch to find the true meaning of style.

Thanks for the eloquent replay. Now go sit in the comer while the adults talk.

Oh, I don't know, probably the one with more style.

Guys I think I've had an epiphany in this thread; if you are not doing the most technically difficult trick at every given opportunity you just aren't snowboarding right and chances are you look like shit while doing it.

HA. weren't you the one talking about nuts and how they taste when they suck them? now that the big boys come, you and your stupid comments seem to mature as you wonder over to dictionary.com to find some big boy words instead of "nutz".

... trick question. The FS rodeo. It's just as easy and way more stylish.

I see what you did here.

From the beinging I have said that backflips and underflip have the same amount of difficulty. Anyone that has done both can attest to that. Hell a lot of people think undeflips are easier since that is the natural rotation for a backflip on a snowboard.




Clever…how is that working out for you?


And I told people to shut up how many times? Go back to swinging from Blue's "nutz". There I spelled it like you do.

Sweet you get your social interaction style from movies as well? Dude you are the coolest. PLEASE let me be your apprentice or something. There is so much I need to learn.

Glad you picked up on it. I was tempted to put a </fight club> tag at the end. But I figured it was pop culture enough to not need it.

But why reinvent the wheel, if someone has stated something perfectly there is no need to rephrase it to make it your own.

You know what's a really good song? Sonic Youth's cover of Superstar.

A. Higher Revolutions Per Minute(RPMs) for Fitness and Less Chance of Injury

Training for fitness can be achieved with increasing the RPMs that you push the pedals with during training sessions. Many cyclists push much too hard a gear so that they can achieve fitness in the shortest time possible, but this approach adds risk and chance of injury when you can be working toward a higher level of fitness. Higher rates of spinning the pedals will allow you muscles to develop strength over time and reduce the burden to your muscles of being over-worked over a short period of time. Stay fit and injury free with the method I am describing here. A rate of about 85-95 RPMs is considered high enough for the average cyclist attempting for maintaining a high level of fitness and gaining endurance. Don't forget to stretch well, especially when you begin, this will also help reduce risk of injury and help you stay fit.

While you guys were sissyfighting in this thread earlier and burton71 was telling everyone to stop sucking on my balls I made a really big batch of spaghetti sauce with fake meat and really went overboard, now I have a ton of sauce left in my bowl but I don't have an oven so I didn't make garlic bread or anything to sop it up with GOD I'M SO STUPID

AND you ride without style. ps- my favorite color is blue.

Yeah well my favorite color is black GET IT RIGHT OR PAY THE PRICE SUCKA

for the record PAYING THE PRICE means being ridiculed by me over your personal preferences on an internet bulletin board

hope this helps

*yawn*

I'm sad now because I really do care what you think.

And btw, it is "I couldn't care less."

EDIT: Now I'm really, really sad because you deleted your post.

Damn aren't you just the coolest? I deleted because i was gonna say something more, but decided it just wasn't worth it in the end. Since what you say is the only thing that is correct..

BTW you get that new Iverson jersey to rock on the hill yet? Better get on that soon so you don't look like such a toolbox on the hill anymore.

Wow after 5 pages now and you guys just don't get it do you...lol. Re-read the thread from the beginning. I stated my opinion on something and then notice what happens? Then notice what happens when I say something about someone elses opinion. You guys crack me up. Especially all the nut swinging...a lot of build up there...but what a let down that was in the end.

Oh well at least it made my day go by quick yesterday.

Maybe today I'll start a topic about why McTwists are more styling then laid out front flips and we can start all over again.

Nope. Did you? If not make sure you go Quad XL, I hear thats the new shit.

SHUT THE HELL UP.

Talking about nut swinging. Since you bring up the points that because EVERYONE in videos does this and does that. (insert trick here) is instantly the coolest and most styled trick out there these days.... Better let up alittle, you might choke.

i'm glad you found it funny. now do it.

No I bring up videos and the tricks in them because a major point of videos is to show nice, stylish, progressive tricks along with all the other aspects of the culture. These videos are loaded with way more corked style tricks then laid out flips so obviously I'm not the only one with my opinion.

So going back to my original point...that IN MY OPINION, that big enough for you tards to see, corked and off axis tricks are more stylish TO ME

Don't wan't to read what I have to say...don't click in the thread. Pretty simple concept really. There are plenty of other threads for you to display your stunning intellect in.

See if you had just done this from the beginning rather than stating your opinion as fact then maybe we wouldn't be on page 5 right now.

"Straight backflips are stupid on a snowboard anyway. Go for a rodeo or over corked 5 instead, they are just as easy and are much better looking tricks. "

Yeah thats sounds nothing like an opinion at all, seeing as how all of snowboarding is subjective anyway.

But hey lets look at your first post...

"Nope"

Much beter then what I said
