I'm headed there this Sat! Never been, can't wait. Any nuggets of wisdom for a first timer?

Windows down, tunes up. Oldest dude, shredding the park. Fun night for a ride.

Generally I'd agree, but I wouldn't be on the hill til about 6. And flyers/penguins are on tonight, I'm torn.

Thoughts on what conditions might be like tonight? We might head up later. Anyone checked out the night scene yet?

If the body is rocking, I'm perfectly happy with some A's. But it is nice to motor boat some whoppers from time to time.

Thanks for posting.

Is the groupon (or whatever deal of the day site it was ) offer that crushes this deal going to come out again 2 days later? I bought the black friday deal last year, and then almost instantly the internet gods laughed at my wasting of money.

Keep at it, and most importantly just have some fun. Also, find some people to ride with that have similar goals. Having a crew to push and help you learn will keep it fun, and let you progress quickly. And besides, your going to need someone to show off your newly learned extra steezy boned out methods.

Can you ride switch proficiently? I'm going to assume no, so that's what you need to work on. After that, maybe some nose and tail butters, 50-50 grinds both regular and switch, some 180's on flatland regular and switch. If you want to start hitting some jumps, start off small, and really work on getting a grab and not just flying through the air, it will help you keep your composure in the air and pay off big later. And if your not already doing so, get a helmet.

nicely done

Keep killing it. Love the posts/pictures.

I was already interested in platt because of the positive feedback here. With that info, it is now firmly on the radar.

Always wanted to make one of these. Finally got a string of pics to get the job done. This is from late season at Northstar. Untitled by ectobar, on Flickr

I'm a sucker for tacos

I guess a Delorean is still acquirable, now a Flux Capacitor on the other hand...

Did someone use a Delorean to go back to the future? It's on May 7th.

BC management may have it's faults, but aren't they the only mt in the area offering up a group rate to PASRs? Buffoons!

Not the timeliest report ever, but I figured better late than never.

4/2 Kirkwood. Wet, slow. 4/3 Northstar. Weekend madness, spring riding. Good eats at top. 4/4 Heavenly. Found discount ticket hookup/safety meeting enthusiast. Spring. Spent most of day in park. 4/5 Sierra. Spring. Park/Noodle day. 4/6 Northstar. Spring. Softened up enough to get into trees which were previously a little crunchy. 4/7 Kirkwood. Pow. 9" overnight, puked all day. 4/8 Squaw. Leftover pow, in surprisingly good condition still according to our local guide. Thank you Giants home opener. 4/9 Alpine. Sierra cement. Hit outer outer twice. Went on a couple other small hikes. Jibbed it. Heavenly. Bench stall. Heavenly. I got out of a pipe for once...barely. It was in the 18-22 foot range @ Sierra. I'm ready for the gnar. I believe this is outer outer @ Alpine Bonk Zen master Cool tree at scenic overlook Buddy hitting a spine in a park at Heavenly, with biker dude on his tail. Some cools trees on the backside of Northstar Lost in pow About to drop from a little hike off of the Granite Chief chair at Squaw.

You sir, are a dirty pirate hooker.

3D Youtube or I call bullshit

11 runs in 30 min comes to 2.7 mins a run. Have lifts been replaced with transporters? But, at 7 minutes/run you could get 4ish in. A crafty individual could probably argue that they got 11 in. Call it a draw.

Good luck with that.
