  1. I have to say that we had our mtn. lab 1.5 premiere and sadly it didn't live up to my expectations, although I would say still top 5 material, has anyone happened to see the tech nine video this year because I've been hearing such mixed reviews.
  2. I feel like bringing in a bus or something like that is just like someone said farther up the page a publicity stunt bear has their mtn. lab staircase which I would say is a bigger,better and more notable feature in a park then a bus or a car although bear already has that subaru rail (which I don't really think is all that good). I totally agree with diamond lighting is something they should be working on for improving the parks for season.

    Pick me a board

    train were you asking what shop I worked at or schif, Because I work at spectrum (sister shop to G-spot so technically I work at G as well but I don't make the trip there unless I have to for a sale or something like that); also I agree about NS their boards are stiff but bomb proof.
  4. Those features look amazing, I can't wait for the bleachers or that ledge I'm so glad bear does everything in house!
  5. Justin nailed it right on the head G-Spot is who I'd recommend not only is it all done by hand like justin said but no one in the shop can tune a board before the owner (who's been riding and hand tuning boards for over 15 years) has you do a full tune in front/with him to make sure you're up to his standards; also for an edge tool I know this sounds crazy but the burton edge tool is what I'd suggest it's amazing I just used it a week ago to put a bevel on a kids park board and on my own board it works like a charm
  6. as far as helmets go Giro and Bern make some really good helmets I had a Giro Bad LT. and a Bern Brentwood both with the audio upgrades and I love how they both feel, however if you do end up looking at bern check out the baker it's a better style helmet.

    Pick me a board

    I would have to say from moving these boards at work, the anthem or the agent it depends if you want a true twin or a directional you can still center like a twin; also I would say if you have the ability to get a mervin proform (GNU and Lib) get down with a TRS or the phoenix series or even a dark series.
  8. Let the rumors begin to fly, but that's wild if the goonies and texas chainsaw massacre really were partially filmed at bear; Also if you guys are talking about the one girl I can think of on park crew that skiis she's just got a short fuse you might've caught her on a bad day, I'm not disagreeing with you because she can be mean but she's pretty cool some times.
  9. I just wish I was that street, but in all seriousness is there some truth to this rail jam on the second because I can't find anything on their event calendar about it.
  10. What do you mean what needs work?
  11. last year I said 9th to the 14th and won and I wouldn't be surprised if it's earlier this year the way things are shaping up and some other predictions on weather.
  12. I said the 9th, but last year I won on the nose so let's see if I can do it again; also about up north killington is calling out an opening of the 15th of november so we shall see when bear calls out an opening.
  13. Okay so back on topic any body from BC I guess it's a tad early but any predicted opening dates, because I've got a bet goin on also anyone else got predictions on opening dates?
  14. I voted for bear they've got things coming together very nicely, especially since it's all in house but big boulder is going to be amazing I fully plan on making more trips to BB this season I'm excited to see how things have gone with getting the mountain creek guys to help them out again.
  15. My list for top videos of the year, 1. Defective Films: Child Support 2. DC Mounainlab 1.5 3. MDP: Picture this 4. Rome/Kids on Shred: Any Means 5. Optimistic (MFM has the best part ever, not to mention mikey leblanc riding a toboggan!) "The colors Eddie Grams gets with his DVX100b are amazing" - xnick11 The DVX100B is quite possibly one of the best cameras ever made, not to mention another credit for panasonic nearly all of picture this was shot with the HVX2000 if not all of it!
  16. Just a quick reminder if anyone is interested tomorrow thursday November First 8:00 PM at Cabrini College in Widener Hall Rome Any Means is being premiered! Be there for the video get some free shirts and there's a $2 raffle for a Rome snowboard! Also $1 dollar raffle gets you a ticket for free entrance to brownies 23 east in Ardmore and a free beer! (obviously 21 and over on that last one)
  17. Okay a couple of things who cares who smokes up at bear they do it they do it, the only issue is getting in trouble for it that sucks as long as you're responsible what's it matter in the end we're all there to do the same thing ride. As for the weather the news has been wrong a good amount lately last year was supposed to be "A good season with good snow and cold temperatures, now this year their saying it's going to be a warm bad winter I think the news has become the least reliable way to get weather I just want to see a nice long cold season where we get some good snow fall that's all I hope for, oh and one good heavy large fall later in the season!
  18. I know there was one guy on park crew, now maybe 2 years back who let some friends and I help him shape the lip on the hip they had on cascade and some of the other jumps which was awesome; either way park crew has been pretty good recently I've never had problems either way with them and they know what their doing.
  19. Not really sure, some douche bags with blue mountain team suits so sure?
  20. To answer yes I am a boarder and for the record I don't have much against free skiers aside from a few bad run ins with some at blue more so from their mountain team.
  21. Is it a warren miller because that's still worth going for because warren miller can make an amazing movie.
  22. I don't think I could work on a mountain if I couldn't be on ski patrol or park crew....
  23. Anyone know if there's gonna be skiers at the buckmans railjam? Because our's is pretty much boards only.
  24. Rome is at 8:00 PM at cabrini College on the first and DC is at 8:00 PM at Temple U on the ninth, I don't know how many of you guys are on facebook but here are links to both events on facebook; any other questions email me tub00116@temple.edu we've got an event on facebook for the video premiere, we're talking DC Mountain Lab 1.5! http://temple.facebook.com/event.php?eid=16358470082 Also Rome Any Means Premiere at cabrini here's the link for that event scope 'em both their gonna be ill. http://temple.facebook.com/event.php?eid=5579437085
  25. Well first off the rail jam would either be in ardmore (45 to an hour from bear) or in the fairless hills/langhorne area I'm not totally sure on time from bear. As for the pass unlimited holla!
