Making Turns

Making Turns (3/10)

  1. It's not intimidating until you stick a 767 with a wing to wing rail on the mtn. hehe
  2. you must have not paid the judges enough.... But seriously, maybe the accidently mark someone else down on your spot. It happens every so often.
  3. I remeber that boulder cross park. It was sweet. I remeber one day comming down, noone arround and some chick and her little bro were sitting on the back of the last jump just were you couldn't see them until you were just going airborn. Needless to say, she learned her lesson about sitting on the back of jumps. I hit her so hard she passed out, I felt bad. I wish I had it on video and bolder would play it over and over to show people what could happen.
  4. For a minute I thought they were claiming credit for the areas other mtn's open trails.
  5. Also, IDK if anyone else here agree's, but I found widenig my stance to the max on the board made rails 100 times easier for me to do. ^what he said seen a few peeps break tailbones by leaning back to far on rails. Stick with boxes (or wide rails) to you feel comfortable hopping on boardslide (almost like second nature) and then progress to the rails. You won't hurt yourself as much. Not that I am saying bomb the hill but rails/ boxes are easier to do faster then slower. Your also less likly to get hurt if you mess up as you'll clear the feature fast enough (taking from the side also helps). The right speed I find is landing about a foot to two feet in on the rail. This is all my opinion/observations from my experience over the years. Anyone who disagrees, please chime in.
  6. geez, I sprained my wrist and they practicly life flighted me. They are usually very good.
  7. Yea, Cold as hell, a little ice patches here and there but for the most part it was real nice. The ice was a non factor as there wasn't enough to effect your riding, just would catch you off guard once in a while. Park creww was right on top of fixing the park up right till the end of the night. They were blowing piles where the pipe it going to go, so i am guessing by next week they should have a pipe.
  8. good point, Thanks, Ill have to recheck it, it could be possible the thermistor needs to be replaced. On theother note, I agree, if it's a $/electric issue, they are foolish. Look at what happened to places like BC and camelback who had to close on the warmups. I would be building up the base as much as possible. Right now it looks like jack is blowing and it looks like they are blowing widow at bolder.
  9. I'll do it again this weekend, but it was reading about 1deg diff. from the big boulder thermo. I don't know where theirs is mounted, but mine is not in the sun and out of direct wind path. also, if it was below freezing in Philly and 30 in Allentown....? Again, pressure sytems change and can cause weird anomilies the cause it to be colder in a more sothern place. Note, I am note the one who said below freezing in Philly
  10. OK, what do you doubt, It's recently calibrated equipment that got those readings.
  11. from Philly it's faster to take the Turnpike to Pittston and then jump onto 81N
  12. JFBB started with the free check this year and it is great, but still only as good as the people running it.
  13. weather systems are weird, today I had a high of 38 and a low of 28 so far. Humidity has been steady arround 42% +/-4%
  14. I am 8 lateral miles from JF and it is 35.8deg right now
