E-rock

No way!

Cool man, Sorry to have been so pissed. I hadn't had my cup of coffee yet when I posted.

Erock, you are so full of shit or a weak athlete who thinks skiing is only done at resorts! Pull your head out of the snow and take a look around. I friggin' lap knuckle draggers except on lift serviced runs. Some people are willing to put in the time to learn something difficult. Snowboarding is for those who aren't. David_Parker, all I can say is straight up FUCK YOU. I was joking, moron. Until last season I was on Kazamas and Scarpa doubles, touring every single day that I skied. This season I've done a lot of lift skiing, and realized that it's extremely important to look at yourself in a humorous light to enjoy the frustrations of lift-serviced skiing, because you CAN'T ski as well inbounds, period. People like you drive me nuts because you are obviously trying to prove to yourself that achievment on the boards somehow makes you a better person than others. Get a life mother-fucker, and take a joke even if it does make a little fun of how you appear to others.

Since when do you give a shit about your respiratory system? I think lichen's the least of your worries

Skimming this article was kind of hilarious. This kind of half-logic is suck. "...by itself, nonviolent protest in America has never worked to change government policy, not during the civil rights movement and not during the Vietnam War" Fuck, it could be the other way around and violent protest wouldn't have worked without the nonviolent protest. His "experiment" has no control. He has two potential causes and one effect so he picks the cause that HE thinks did the job.... i.e. violence. He may very well be right, but he's only convincing stupid people that he is.

I'm also missing a front tooth

I thought the AT stuff was LIGHTER

Iain, in response to all the leather naysayers.... Leather will teach you the proper flex necessary to do a telemark turn with the ball of your back foot down. Modern telemark technique is often backseat telemarking because so much energy is required to keep the ball down with plastic boots. Newer bindings like the Hammerhead are helping alleviate this problem, but people on bindings like the G3's are skiing on their tippy-toes. Voile three pin cables are a great binding for keeping the ball of your foot down.

You left out the expensive hospital bills from faceplanting and concussions. Oy vey the learning curve is a brute. Too fucking funny. How could I forget that? I just got 6 stitches in the chin last month from that very thing. Last weekend I bought 10cm shorter skis, now I'll just cut my throat.

Iain, tele skiing sucks. Unless you want to learn to develop an alternating rythm between arm flailing and punching the ground for balance, while whining "Wait up, wait up" to your snowboarder buddies who've ony been riding for 4 months, don't waste your time. Tele skiing is a pointless excercise in frustration and pain that turns you into a bitter, cynical snow-snob who never enjoys skiing except when EVERTHING is perfect (which it never is) and when NOONE is looking (which they never are, anyways because they're way ahead of you.) That being said, enjoy. I love it more than anything else in the world. And leather is definitely the way to learn, but not the way to progress past a certain point (unless you are an exceptionally gifted athlete).

Timm@y, what's with the time limits on edits? I want to change one of my posts in order to remove my email address and I can't do it. I don't remember ever encountering this problem in the past.

Specialed. 191 is the biggest they make em. They ski long (too long for me). I pm'd yo ass if you're interested still let me know.

Best Shows: Peaches at Graceland (2001) Sigur Ros at Black Cat (2001) TchKung! at I-spy (2002) Modest Mouse at Crystal Ballroom (2000) Cat Power at Berbati's (2002) The older ones have faded Oops almost forgot: Flaming Lips at Zephyr Club in Salt Lake (1999)

Off White, the way I avoid the phenomenon of overplay that you refer to is by not listening to the radio (KEXP excluded). The really good bands that receive heavy rotation you're going to hear about regardless of whether or not you listen to the radio, especially if you're a music fan like yourself. Furthermore, I try to ignore the bands that recieve the hype (like the Strokes and the White Stripes) until it's all over, and then I give them a serious listen. It seems to work for me. I'm just finally falling in love with the White Stripes.

When Sharma starts trad climbing, and hopefully it's only a matter of time, he will probably satisfy everyone's requirements as the best.

Each route at each crag should have its own forum. Simple enough. But but but... what about variations

Lucky fucker. We got skunked in Kokanee this year by Extreme avalanche hazard. It seems that if you go to the Selkirks every year, you get a week like yours every third of fourth year. Cheers, sounds like you made memories of a lifetime.

191 cm Big-Bangs (2001) with Rottefella Chili Cobra bindings. $300 for skis, $350 for skis with Ascension skins (Euro kit). These skis are great for BC and in area skiing. They're just too much ski for my little frame and soft boots. Bases are in excellent condition, skis still have all their camber. Binding cartridges are scratched (of course) but otherwise in tip-top shape. Rott toe-pieces are brand new (I used three pins) and skis are mounted with Rottefella riser that accepts all three-screw toe pieces. Skins are practically brand new (i.e. you won't be able to tell the difference). PM me

Sounds like somebody's a droll hippy

"Sweet" sucks and I can't stand hearing it anymore. People who use it are usually droll hippies with no sense of fashion or time.

hah, that's funny Off White. As soon as I saw Greg's post I thought he was quoting Le Tigre. I thought I was gonna shit myself.

Wow, now I'm all warm and fuzzy.

You should see, I've got even less now. RobBob, I'm only pissing on the moderation-whiner threads because they are dumb and you started one of them so you are dumb too.

WHO FUCKING CARES???!!!!
