Everybody is sick in Bellingham. We're all gonna die!

Well, as long as you don't ride humps bigger than 20 feet my theory is sound.

Heck yeah Blake. Fantastic.

Well, none of it really matters anyhoos. We're all F****** because we can't solve problems without guns.

This topic is why we should all switch to this: So we can meet more of this: And pocket more of this:

Exactly. I wish you conservative PUNKS would get out of the mindset that everything is black and white. There is no such thing as an absolute, just gray matter.

Speaking of snow, I was up at Cascade Pass a week and a half ago, and there were FEET of snow. The road was under repair about 3-4 miles below the start of the switchbacks, so it turned out to be a bit of a hike up there. It was worth it though, winter is HERE above 4000 feet.

Uh….get your head out of the sand friend…..Bush was appointed by the Supreme Court…..this is not an opinion…..this is fact. Get it straight. I think this is the most intelligent and thought out thing I've ever seen you type. I'm 100% with you on this one. As for Gore, dude, I think the guy deserves the prize. If nothing else, he's educated millions about a dilemma that is going to change billions of lives.

I have a barely used 2006 men's medium Arteryx Sidewinder AR in the Kangaroo Brown color. I used it twice snowboarding, and once climbing Mt. Baker. It is in PERFECT SHAPE. I'd like $275.00 or best offer. Also, I've got a 2006 Burton Custom X 158 that has been ridden TWICE. It is in perfect shape with the exception of a small piece of professionally repaired edge. I dinged it the first time I used it, but had the good people at Sturtevant's weld on a brand new 2.5 inch piece for me. I rode it one more day after this, and it is flawless. The other nice thing about the Custom X is how light it is. For back-country use it is ideal if you are carrying your board on you back - its the lightest wood core board on the market. Lastly, this board was crowned the "2006 Good Wood Award" by Snowboarder Magazine. I can tell you that it turns faster and smoother than just about any other board on the market. I'm asking $250.00 or best offer. PM me if you are interested. Cheers.

ME TOO.

This reply made my day! I remember my dad quoting you almost word for word a few years ago. My dad has a few intamacy issues, but he certainly did his best up until his wife left him. I think your last sentance was missing from their relationship however.

And all this time I thought I had just gotten "banned" from this forum!

I thought is was sex.....or lack of. Thats why people have affairs. Or at least why men have affairs. Dude, women have just as many affairs as men.

What do you people think of the institution? Whats the point in ever commiting to "till death do us part" when the US divorce rate statistics are so pathetic?

Holy shit, SO TRUE!

Sometimes trying less hard will pay off far more than trying harder. Balance is the only way to achieve maximum athletic performance. When you train super intensely, you must rest super intensely, and eat super intensely! The use of steroids and growth hormones for gains should be left to those who don't care about longevity. Sure, you can get huge and ripped faster, but you'll also lose a ton of gains when you come off of them; not to mention that you can cause permanent damage to other systems. Again, overtraining is a problem with balance. When you stop getting out what you put in, yer being stupid.

OK, I just had to say this: in order to improve as an athlete, you should probably NOT train six days a week! Especially if it is one type of exercise. Most studies show that too much exercise on one group of muscles causes performance to crash. I'm not saying that we can't get even seven days a week of exercise, just that if someone is doing thier running routine six sessions a week they are wasting thier time! At that point I'd say there is a very addictive quality to thier training, and NOT a calculated attempt at improving health and fitness. Sitting on the couch and eating is not always a bad alternaltive to another training session....

This really isn't true, at all. There is a common misconception out there that you are only using one system or zone at a time, when in reality you are always using a combination of all of them based on your level of training, and the intensity and force exhorted. Yeah, its all a matter of percentage. We are always using each of the energy systems, just the percentage of recruitment changes.

Awsome guys!

Anyone know what the current (ish) conditions are like on Coleman Glacier?

1993 - broken left pinky toe: Fat kid step on it in gymnastics class. Walking boot, 3 weeks. 1998 - proximal right humerus fracture: backflip attempt on snowboard. Landed on ice upside down with arm out stretched. Wore sling for six weeks. 1999 - distal tibia and fibia fracture. Broke growth plate of tibia: slid into second base wearing metal cleats, cleats caught the bag. SNAP! Freshman year of high school. Tibia required two screws. 10 weeks till walking and hiking. Another year till fully solid. 2003 - fractured right triquitrum bone. Dove down a bunch of stairs after fucking up a BMX double peg grind on a handrail. 12 weeks of cast time, 12 weeks of muscle rebuildig. 2005 - fractured left triquitrum bone, left scaphoid bone, left pisiform, and right 4th 5th & 6th ribs. BMX dirt jumping; went "super man" over my handle bars and dove to flat ground from 20 feet in the air. Left scaphoid required open reduction and closed fixation with one titanium screw. 13 weeks of full arm cast, and another full year until fully recovered. Its too bad this forum doesn't want to know about soft tissue injuries. Because that is where shit gets super interesting! Who cares about broken bones, they heal perfectly! All my climbing injuries are tendon related.

I figured the worst part about rollerblading would be telling your parents that you were gay.

RIDE!
