I had the extreme pleasure of returning to Japan from Guam on the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier. It took 4 days 3 nights, I bunked in the "coffin" ate the ship grub and got to see some damn cool stuff. BUT pulling into Yokosuka I was glad to get off the ship and decided that 4 days was just about enough. The monotony of the place, the drab metal everything and the meat heads that were on the ship. Dont get me wrong there were some really nice people I met, but the chicks were some of the hardest bitches that Ive ever met and the guys were mostly pretty stupid in my humble opinion. This isn

Yeah everyone knows who stays at my house, what I eat for dinner, what rubbish I throw away (see through rubbish bags) and when I cut my weeds people comment on it. At first it really phased me, got me a bit on the defence and wary of everything I do, but then I just decided F it and at the end of the day I dont really cares who knows what I do.

I was walking down denden town a few years ago and suddenly out infront of us pops a butt naked guy, not a thread of clothing on him and damn it wasnt nice. I think he was just a crazy bum off the streets that decided to go al fresco but he had a saggy flat bum that hung, grey dirt on him and a birdsnest for hair. Mercifully he was walking infront of me so I didnt get a front on view! Man I would have much much rather seen your naked girl Davo. I think I was scared for life with that image burnt permanently into my brain

I dont like it but it is conducive to parties. When its raining you just sit inside with your friends - add some booze and fun! And because its raining the next day too you can loll in bed with a hangover watching tv and not feel like you want to/should do something active because its pissing with rain. ahhhh every cloud has a silver lining

Well Ruapehu is closest to my house in Wellington (ie not very close at all) so will do some trips up there, esp as thats where my mates are more likely to go, but am planning on heading down south for a while too. I was looking at some avalance courses at the Remarkables and thinking about checking out Treble Cone and maybe some club fields. Depends on how the season pans out as Ill be there from the end of Aug and it also depends on who I can get to go with me. Solo for too long gets tiring after a while.

Not that I couldnt understand it but when I got to the end me and my viewing buddy looked at each other and said "well thats not what I was expecting to happen". Just in mononoke hime how they chop off the head and all that gloopy stuff goes everywhere till they get the head back... just strange.

Ah bogans, its been a while since Ive seen one of those! Just to add to the image they have to be sumpertaper stovepipe jeans, the black jersey has to be a fish knit one and the guy usually has a mostache and H A T E tatooed on his knuckles! How about Guy Fawkes for those NZers and Brits. Thats pretty strange eh.

They are a pair that I had for 3 years and just lost their snap. Fischer...uhhh.. something? Damn Ive forgotten. Totally UN-fat, just a carving ski really. I guess Im lucky Im not too heavy or I would have sunk something wicked in the pow. Just suffered serious lack of money at the beginning of the season so nothing around when I had the money to spend. Ah well.

I watched the movie for Japanese at univ and damn was it weird. Typical Japanese stuff that is good but at the end you are left going whaaaaaa? Anyone seen princess mononoke? Kinda like that one

Youre nearly right, probably 98% of the accom is off the mtn but there are some lodges etc on the snow. They are usually pretty basic and you usually have to be in either a club or know someone who is. But there is no nightlife outside of the lodges so if you stay there you usually bring a big posse and plenty of booze. I think thats why most people stay in town really. Just more happening. Mind you I really like being able to stay walking distance from the slopes in J

Nothing cos I just sold them! Hmmm I see what you mean about being centre mounted. How does that affect powder skiing? Having more tail would mean less tips thus less float? But I guess thats where the fat comes in to play. I guess it doesnt really matter if they dont like tight bumps because neither do I!

I got to the airport on the 15th of Jan that year I think after travelling for about 2 days and had some jingles in my pocket so called my Mum. She was like "are you ok" really worried and I had no idea there had been a quake. Turns out we had left Kobe 24 hrs before the quake. Freaky. But I wouldnt be too worried. Im sure youve got a much higher chance of dying in a aeroplane crash or getting run over by a car. Just put your bed in the safest part of your appt and enjoy the ride when it comes! Personally I think Japan has much less earthquakes that we had in NZ. Just another aside t

Id improve my technique if it was going to help me ski better or do what I wanted but not just for the sake of it and not spending hrs and hrs practicing it when I could be up to my waist in powder

Oops I meant such a chick. Slip of the fingers matey, no chick sucking from this corner sorry

Yeah O11 and they use that fund to buy the snacks so its dame to bring your own food to much on yourself I dont want any friggen choco! I dont want any friggen senbe! I dont want any of the crappy sweets! Gimme an apple and a museli bar any day that will at least satisfy my hunger.

There was a scabby guy that used to work on some of the boats I used to crew. Typical builders crack, hairy back guy buy the name of Mike Hunt. Say it fast and you get My ****

Mind you I LOVE the colour of pocket rockets, ah I know I am suck a chick

My main problem with getting fats is that I dont know how much powder Im really going to get anymore, well at least the ratio is going to be waaaaay different to what Ive had in these last 3 years. Im kind of leaning to a more all mtn ski, something that can still handle the piste which from what Ive read fatties have a lot more of a hard time doing. As for twin tips, I really cant see myself doing any switch jumps in the near future (gotta spend some time with you Kanasi peeps and Barok I reckon )

What to buy indeed. Ive done loads of research with the result of being completely and utterly confused. However this season I think something was trying to tell me to get bandits eg. Id get on the lift and the dude next to me has them on, come back from the loo and propped up next to my rides were bandits, mate buys a new pair of skis - guess what they were. Dunno though, will have to see and sort out the mess in my head before I commit the dosh.

In my case you have to always allow for the "zwelgen factor". It is approx 10 mins so if I say Ill be there at 8 you can bet a lot of money it will be 8:10, but the zwelgen factor does not apply to skiing, then I am right on time and sometimes even early.

That is one of the funniest things Ive read in a while. Love it LOVE IT

I do my best...

I dont think it was a conscious effort to not make any goals, just that I was gagging so badly to be on the mtn that goals didnt enter my mind. I might make some for next year though, just loose ones mind you like spend more time in the pipe etc that you cant do wrong

Dont worry Enderzero, Im smart
