Snowboarding

[IceStorm]

I had the best snowboarding night ever..
I went down my first black diamonds.. Which kick ass...
I didn't Just go down them i raced down them.. Which i was very close in winning
Then i went down this awesome trail which has allot of turns
we were doing a race with about 6 ppl (snowboarders)
I started out behind but.. caught up! I had to do a 360 to get toe side to dodge some ski pansy in the way almost hit her.. I was going wicked ass fast.. She was standing in the middle of the fucking run on a corner! It was the closest i have ever got to hitting someone it was a fucking awesome move i pulled i wish it was on video.. Then i did a kick ass butter for like 3 minutes which i never practice.. The snow was perfect.. About 3 inchez of powder over ice $ on the black diamonds.

If you have ever thought about snowboarding.. Try it out~
When you start you will suck but you will get better $

My Question : Whats the biggest rush you have ever got snowboarding or skiing ?

Sounds pretty fun there man.

I went skiing in Wyoming a couple years ago and for our last run, a friend and I went wanted to see how long it would take to go from top to bottom. The peak was 10,450 ft. and just above the cloud line. We timed the run to be 47 minutes. It was really tiring, but totally worth it.

And when I was little I bashed into my brother and we went tumbling down a hill. I think he broke his arm. Good times.

Biggest Rush: 2000 Summit Mogul Competition. I'm good, but not great. I got through all my runs without wiping out, and even managed to pull a few tricks including a sweet Iron Cross on the Second jump of my first run.

Coolest Trip: Heli Skiing in Alaska in '99. It's just... awesome.

Most Zen experience: Lost down the back side of Stevens Pass back in... '99 I think... with a friend of mine. We're slogging through waste deep snow when we come out on to a little glade of untouched powder. Right in the middle of the glade is a fat white rabbit sitting under the top of a fur tree that was poking up through the snow. Just stood for a few minutes and watched the little bugger before he scampered off over the the top of the untouched snow... then took another hour wading through that shit before we got back on a run. Lucky fucking rabbit :P

Wadi, That reminds me of the time when me and my friend got lost. We went off a side trail and it was awesome 100 % un touched powder.. We were having a blast until we ended up in the middle of who knows with a dead end lol we had to go threw woods up hills accross lakes

I fucking hate the white shit. I'm so moving south, and I'm talking Key West south.

biggest rush i got snowboarding was waking up x-tra early and being the very first person up the mountain and charging as fast as i could down a virgin cordorouy run. the best part was you could hit those cat-tracks super fast without having to worry there's some no0b skiier just out of sight below the dip who you're going to land on.

you create this one beautiful fluid line in the groomed run, then when you're taking the lift back to the top you can see this huge gap in your line just below the cat-track where you can see how many feet you sailed through the air.

i love hitting smooth 3's and 5's in the parks and riding the pipes, but i have to admit, pointing the nose at the bottom of the hill and charging a steep run that you know like the back of your hand is my favorite rush. it reminds me of riding a motorcycle, actually.

Biggest rush: first time I had the guts to do a backflip.. Was very scared how it would go because if I land too early it would hurt like hell (unlike while doing a frontflip). lovely feeling.. Although I did fall when I landed but it was in the off-pist with more than a meter of soft snow so it was just fun.

I had an old sims once but they are just sucky since the mass-production started a few years ago.. You can always check the burton boards, they always got nice boards.

There is also a board from sweden called extrem. Awesome snowboards i most say! You find them at: http://www.extrem.se
The bindings should be flow-bindings. Hope it helps.

I snowboard but I really suck. I've been snowboarding like 8 times and I still suck, and I've gotten a concussion (it really hurt). I'm not the best snowboarder ever lol!

Flows are cool, but I prefer the straps, I like the feel of where the strap goes across the front of the ankle better than the spread-out thing on the flows, it feels more solid and secure to me.

I have a Gnu Option and some Drake bindings.

I just started last year, so I'm not awesome

[IceStorm]

Right now i am using snap ins lol.. If you have any clue what they are you are laughing your ass off right now i bet.. They are ok but they are hard to get into and not great grip..

[Volcs]

i dunno.. i get a rush almost every day.

My first double diamond at Tremblant, sheer ice and a mad drop.
The first time i bombed a double diamond.
Boardsliding a rail for the first time was one of my biggest.
I guess that's it... I don't get much of a rush from alpine very much, but there's a monkey trail at the hill i go to that's absolutely crazy. Rocks and trees, no real path, it's sick. So if you don't watch your speed you're gonna nail a tree, i had to actually buy a helmet after i knocked myself out.
