  1. Fortunately they use 4th of July sparklers to braze so there are few on-the-job injuries.
  2. If you've an IQ above room temperature or the average ttips luddite, it shouldn't be a problem. Been to Meadows lately?
  3. at least he's honest about it.
  4. her dog peed on part of my lunch in the smith LG.
  5. Just to be remotely useful: The Freeride is a great no-maintenance binding good for people who are not doing super-long tours, are fairly heavy or ski fairly aggressively, and are coming straight from lift skiing. There is a lot of slosh in the binding compared to a real alpine binding. There is a lot of plastic where a high-end alpine binding would have metal. Your feet are higher off the topsheet than an alpine binding. It has been redesigned for 06/07 (well it actually has finally been imported from Europe, where it was around last year). The older designs had a nice habit of occasionally disengaging the heel on some jumps when the ski flexed the heel out. This is supposedly fixed. The Dynafit binding is more torsionally rigid than the Freeride, and the boot is lower on the ski much like an alpine binding. They call the release a din 10, but in reality this will vary a bit based on the flex of the ski. You can lock out the toe and the release is "higher". Probably best not to be jumping in them. There is a learning curve to the Dynafit system, and your boot choices are limited to those with the pin holes. The weight savings will literally make you feel like you are running up the hill. The Naxo bindings from BC Access now go to 13 if testosterone is driving your purchasing decisions. I've used the Freeride for about 3 years along with the dynafidgits and they are both great products with their own drawbacks. In the end I have found I like having both. I wouldn't want to work a season pass on Dynafits, but some people do, esp if they are just seeking out the blower days when it's too dangerous to go outside the area.
  6. the pad looks like a gijoe missile launcher.
  7. and OMFG din 12!!!???? core.
  8. Yes, things do go on sale when discontinued. Obviously if all five (or even size) of your friends use them they are the ultimate.
  9. we're talking frisch freerides noob. not those crap fritschi knockoffs
  10. so don, I hear backstreet's back.
  11. This just isn't true. They retail for over $400. Best to do a little research before "advising" people.
  12. Are you kidding? I was choppered in. I'd never make it up that stuff w/o chalk. Little Wing rivals the white cliffs of dover when I'm done with it.
  13. is this flying "i love the trains" pig I ran into at the top of fear o flying last year

  19. you are the living end olyclimber!
  20. no all the trucks are photoshopped in too, and the biker is some altered old zoo footage of a gorilla. If you look closely you can see a banana at 1:02
  21. it's not a fucking motorcycle. take a good look at that first police car...notice anything strange about it...as in it's not really a police car...and is actually what the real police cars behind it are chasing...
  22. a pet barnacle would be sweet
  23. Convenient veganism you mean. Your fixie only has to make an appearance at Food Fight's bike rack.
  24. my ropes are pH neutral and my windshirt quiver, unrivaled
