  1. which report are you looking at? I saw only 20cm new snow today with high winds?? I am off there on saturday, all weather forecasts that I have seen are very conflicting with many saying sun all week and no snow!??
  2. Anyone know when this is going to be televised? Sky Perfect and Nippon Television were sponsors of the event but on their homepages there is no reference to TV dates... Ta.
  3. DB, Yes I have a bit of experience but I have missed a seson so not looking forward to the frst few days of gumbyness! I originally changed from regular bindings due to a pain that i was getting from my binding straps. all is well and the speed of the entry gives me an advantage of getting first tracks about 15-20 seconds in front of my mates!
  4. THAT MANY AKAKURAS??? ITS IN NIIGATA, I WILL CHECK OUT WHICH ONE IT IS 4 YA..
  5. DB, My mates just got a package from Nagoya, 53,000 flights meals (brekie/dinner) only spending and lift tix needed. thats a 3 night stay.. but thats for 2 people... One is always frikkin exy! try akakura??
  6. yup, I have the FL11 from way back. the Ice Blue metal ones. They are still going strong and the speed in which i can jump into them compared to regular bindings is awsome. I also have a few sets of burton bindings (top end) but even though the flows are the low end I still prefer them. I was interested in buying the Carbon Fibre model
  7. Me no complain... one of the worlds 7 wonders if you ask me, spesh when i am at the bottom of the escalator!
  8. Bro. leave Tokyo early am. arrive in Niseko early afternoon. first day you have the full night session and maybe a few hours before if U are lucky. 3 more days of 820am-9pm and last day you can pack ya gear up and snowboard until the last bus (3pm) to the airport.. change on the bus. I can guarantee that you wouldn't get more value than Niseko's passport. and the nighta is what i think makes it the best. most other nighta courses that i have seen are lame, just the bottom few runs that U would bore from reall easily! (Arai and others) I have only 4 days bro and I am off to niseko coz its w
  9. Case by case situation. My J wifes parents didnt batter an eyelid! some would and more so especially with a gaijin! Depends on how cruisy the family is... as for the community...F$%k them its none of their business!
  10. the usual blisters, bruises etc. Mild concussion and a full body whip attempting a frontside 540 grab. almost landed at about 500-510 degress thru i landed funny caught my back edge and it slammmmmed me! i couldnt get out of bed the next day! every muscle in my body was in pain! but a happy story is that I did indeed end up landing one! this year... rodeo clown!
  11. now that I have my powerbook 99% less than i did when i was on my crappy PC!
  12. For the really deep stuff you could try a burton fish. the powder specific boards, though they can be ridding elsewhere.. or get a 160-62. Personally if you are just going to stick to the resorts on honshu and not go BC then the board U already have should be sufficient. if you were heavier......
  13. DB, on the topic of the speed of my post... between 9am yesterday and 4pm I sat on my ass watching news/movies/and fox (even an episode of Stevo) with my notebook in my lap! due to my new ligament issue you see, i can't go too far ( I could but its a hassle, and a negative if I wish to go to hokkaido in 9 days!) so I was rather bored and looking for things to do! But that post i think I replied to that late last night after i got home which much have been a coincedence! Boredom has set in and the anger phase moving in now.....
  14. beaver hunters are everywhere DB!!!! especially here in japan!
  15. Cal, last time we were there one of the big hotels on the gerande had a big italian/pasta/pizza buffet at lunch but not sure bout dinna.
  16. Quote: Originally posted by snowboard_freak: After a surf is by far the best time to get your nose and sinuses into shape. Everything is just waiting to come out. Nothing like a good big "nasal spag"! I like the 30mins after surf nose drip that seems to always drop out over important papers!
  17. Not having you on at all snow freak! you see it everywhere here, at night more so, but I just can't get over when these guys are having a **** on the side of the road etc haven't they ever heard of stage fright?? i couldn't do it! most cases they dont even hide just flopsy out!!!!
  18. well in my book new years is a non event anywhere, just a over hyped up party that you could match for a better time at any night of the year... Japanese new years is even less exciting, hey i might watch that crappy TV show, eat soba, go to the shrine and watch the sunrise! maybe your J mates are talking about there being no meaning to our new years. just another excuse to get full of booze and drugs!
  19. snow freak, not sure if you have ever been here, but everywhere you walk you see older men just popping it out and peeing everywhere! pity there are toilets every 10m in conbinis! dirty jiji means dirty old men!
  20. is standing on the side of a huge intersection flopping it out and watering the weeds rude? no wander we dont wear shoes in the house... dirty jiji's
