D-Day Wrecks

Well, there was this little affair at a shopping mall in Maryland...

Would that be vertical, or linear, or both?

That was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

I opened a dusty box in my garage and found some books I forgot I had. Since I obviously don't need them, I was hoping to find them a new home for the price of a beer or two.

This thread is definitely a better read backward than forward.

Into a "sheer cliff" from what I read. The trail is closed until further notice due to the investigation (3 fatalities.) Any details beyond the usual media reporting?

I've owned the TM's and skied the Kongurs. Both are decent skis. The Rivas? Not a big fan, especially without risers. $50 for either pair of skis, and another $50 for some good, used Targas or Hardwires and you've got yourself a respectable tele rig.

It's no wonder that you hate telemark skiing... "I hate NASCAR racing!"

So much for...... getting out of Iraq.

Actually, its this one...

No, this one...

This one...

Apology accepted. Have fun on Yak Peak.

[canned definitions] Jah is the shortened name for God YHWH, and Jehovah. Most commonly used in the Rastafari movement. Rasta is the shortened name for rastafari, a Black youth subculture and religious movement that arose in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica, in the 1950s; males grow hair in long dreadlocks and wear woolen caps; use marijuana and listen to reggae music. [/canned definitions] With the 'jah' in your name I guess it was assumed you know what a rasta bivy kit is.

I know the world is not going to end in 2012 because Marty McFly time-traveled to 2015.

The Madshus Epoch is essentially the same ski as the Karhu 10th Mountain (K2 owns both brands and folded the Karhu into the Madshus). They sell online for about $300.

On the other end of the spectrum, there's this...

Yeah, but having a ass pocket of whiskey will make it all better.
