yeah im interested in the labatt blue and bass ale sign
-
I'll take a couple of the beer signs. lemme know what's left and pm me so we can work things out
-
heh my middle school went there for our ski trips. was royally pathetic... Though that was 10+ years ago now... Didn't the owner get run over by a groomer awhile back and it was closed for quite awhile?
-
boo I wanted those bindings... unless you still have them
-
I might be interested in the bindings... Don't need the board though...
-
I hate just as many skiers as I do snowboarders. There's lil punks in each group as well as older punks in each group... I'm an equal opportunity hater
-
Do not switch stances? I hope your talking about changing the board from regular to goofy or vice versa. I would hope he would adjust his foot angles as he finds a comfortable regular and switch foot angle.
As far as learning, I'm not the greatest switch rider, and I have no intentions to be, but... I practice 180's all the time, on the flat, off small little natural features, bigger jumps etc. So, if you just work on 180's you will be switch alot. I don't know if you have aspirations to ride the blacks switch, but for the basic landing spins, switch off of rails etc, my technique seems to be working. I worked at the beginning of the year with the method forumpl155 but it was too tedious, I'd much rather just ride. On the other hand, like I said... I'm not the greatest switch rider.
Either way, its all about practice, and getting comfortable with everything being backwords.
I said don't switch stances as in don't use the fact that you can ride regular as a way to cheat out of falling. also i never changed my binding angles. mine are set to like a duck foot stance anyways so there's only like a 5 degree diff between the front and back foot. not really noticeable...
-
just practice... lol sounds lame but i sucked at it really bad at first. Then one weekend I tried again after like a year of not really messing with it. and it clicked...
however my suggestion to learn/practice is take an easy trail but long nile mile, paradise, etc... just drop in switch, go slow, DO NOT DO NOT switch stances. you'll look like a newb at first which i hated the most really for learning but it's gotta happen... do it a few times and eventually you'll be able to translate your mechanics from being able to ride regular to switch. shouldn't take as long as getting good to begin with

cb on friday
-

im going to either blue or camel on fri. pending on what the doc says in the morning...
-
well i dunno when ima go but all i know is screw whatever conditions it'll be. I'm so incredibly bummed I've only made it out 3 times and had to sit out for the last like 5 weeks. sucks. i still am supposed to sit out till like April 5 but screw that...
-
how's the conditions at blue and camelback? if I'm cruising camelback might be better minus the fact their conditions normally suck... specially this late.
-
well I'm up to wherever. since i can't do park. camel has more trails to keep it interesting through the day. just a lil farther to drive for me
-
ill goto blue mid week if anyone wants to ride. no park for me cause my shoulder is still jacked...
-
id like to just ride again this season... :-|
-
id ride with ya but my break is the week before you're there... and im injured but in a couple weeks ima say screw it and still ride...
-
VTmark, do you goto Virginia Tech??
-
I don't know about that. I know lots of people with same knee multiple injuries even after surgery. Maybe technology/techniques have improved since they got their work done, but its more than a "freak" case, like I said I know LOTS of people. Also, if people are just as good after the surgery, then why the brace?
I think the key is understanding you had an injury, and it could happen again and being careful with it.
all the people I know with acl surgery basically all are football players. they end up wearing braces if they play on the line because typically people fall on them from the side which is dangerous for messing up knees. noone i know who has had surgery, including people who blew out their knee completely i.e. tore acl and mcl have all been fine. also look at the pros who have blown out knees. none I can think of ever wear a brace and none have ever torn it later on... though I'm thinking of just snowboarders
-
yeah im at school. wearing a sling waiting on x-ray results on my shoulder... this blows. oh yeah it's like 60 out
-
i know two people that have had torn ACLs, had the surgery and two years later both are ripped again.
no offense but if he did it was a freak accident or shitty surgery... I know plenty of people who got it done in high school and no probs whatsoever since. typically ends up being the stronger leg afterwards
-
definetely get the surgery. most of the times. after surgery the ligament is stronger then before and the risk of tearing it again is slim to none. It's a very very rare occurence to have a previous torn ACL that you've had surgery on get torn again. this is mainly because of the advances in the technology and surgery.

sounds like the one i was hitting the other day. was about the size of a kitchen table...
-
where's this pasr vid at? *haven't been around for awhile...*
