I have so much to sell on ebay. Only problem is it is such a time consuming hassle.

Type, "No Idea"

So who are the suit gaijins here that work in Akasaka, Tokyo? I was one. And I ate frequently at a poor mans type of yakitori joint for lunch. It wasn't poor quality, just more simple and cheaper than the real deal. For 1000 yen you got some nice ginger pork and bean shoots and stuff whilst sitting at the big bbq table yakitori thingy. Anyway, if you have been to this everyday forgettable place on the basement floor of a nowhere street in Akasaka then you would have seen the photographs of Michael Jackson when he ate there. I have on idea why he ate there at a salary man lunch s

You can test it out, no problems, except for that fact that I doubt you will ever actually meet me or my board. Bu7t if you do, douzo. If all goes to plan then I am taking it for a spin this weekend in Austria. Thomas - good to hear you have been out already. Did you land on your board or your face in that picture? What makes you want the D1+ ? Do you think the D1 is too flexi, or being wider, perhaps it will have more long turning characteristics in powder. That could be good. I'd reckon it would ride a lot stiffer on piste, and the D1 is already a 'unique' sensation on

>an I assume from your post that people who suffocate when caught in an avalanche, die because of an excess of C02 rather than lack of oxygen? That's what I have read, but not personally experienced. Which besides the acidic taste in your mouth is not such a nasty way to die. You just fall asleep. Although lets not forget the claustrophobic panic you would feel as you were fallings asleep A bucket full of fresh snow is usually around 10% water, the rest is air. Even highly compressed avalanche snow has a lot of air. >if oxygen is packed in the snow can you explain the

>could you die from lack of oxygen No, snow is jam packed with more than enough oxygen, but you might eventually suffer from too much Co2 which cant excape. Tsonda - sleep with your next day's clothes in a water proof bag at the foot of your sleeping bag. It makes it much easier to get dressed in the morning rather than putting on half frozen stuff.

No, it was interesting. I would like to be bitten to death by a camel.

I suggest you introduce yourself by declaring that America makes enemies faster than it can kill them. See how it goes from there.

What if it shows that rather than having a bump injury on the thigh, you are in fact preggers in the leg with a colony of blind pale yellow worms?

Hey! Another European SJ forum person. Good to see.

I will keep you posted. Although, benefits prevent me from rationally quitting work for the season.

oops, I was supposed to be saying structure, not texture. I was confused about the p-tex vs wax structure: I thought you left a micro thin film of wax and it is into that which the structure is brushed, thanks to the useless instructions that came with some tuning gear I once bought. They always say something like "...structuring is important! When your finished don't forget to give it a good structure with a brush then go out and shred!" or some such uninformative shit that doesn't actually tell you anything but uses a lot of buzz words.. I used to scrape the wax off my base un

Quote: the big mountain of Hotaka I am like a fly to shit. Nice mountain, any other pictures? Hakuba is becoming Hollywood these days I'm still searching for my spot, away from the crowds and in a big mountain area, I want to buy a little bit of land.

>Practice, Practice, Practice... If I quit my job in December can you give me one in Tokyo next July?

The Hague. You got it worse than me. At least I can drive to AT in 6 hours. My plans: - Chamonix for xmas - Engelberg for NYE - Canada end of Jan - A two or three week couloir trip in April, likely near Chamonix And nearly all the weekends in between will be used for impromptu trips, what ever comes up and depending on the situation. Engelberg is my closest by road, followed by Andermatt, but flying to Milan and then driving to Andermatt is a lot easier and the same price or cheaper. Unfortunately flying to Munich is quite expensive for me, so weekend AT trips are a

Who you talking too?

Wax is great for maintaining a consistent smooth glide. It makes snowboarding more fun and much safer as you don't need to bomb the bastard out of icy steeps just to make it over the approaching flats as a well waxed board just keeps on sliding rather than decelerating the moment you lose some slope. To me, wax is about effortless glide, speed is secondary. But having good edges on a snowboard is very important, makes a hue difference. Although once you have scraped a few rocks you wont get a 90 degree edge back very easily. But that I localised damage, seldom the length of an entire

Today I read a Bloomberg News article stating that “...temperatures have increased by 3 degrees Centigrade (37 degrees Fahrenheit)…” Yes, 3C is the same as 37F, but is it reasonable for someone to be that stupid and have a reporting job at the same time?

>For those of us not living where we ride, how long for you. Two weeks ago. Then again in about 2 weeks time. And then non-stop after that.

Look at that dirty goat. Sanno - when will you be over here? Lets get some helmet cam thing going on!

Quote: The pic I posted looks surreal. Which way is up, which way is down? That’s exactly what I thought. I have been twisting my head around. We know what’s what, but the eyes and mind still play tricks. Quote: I agree from the last pic you posted it does not look too bad Yep, I went to bed thinking that then woke up this morning and first thought I scoffed at myself with a bit of reality check. It might look ok, but that’s only the first 500m of vert which is all above 4000m, NE shadowed and very exposed to wind. In spring it doesn’t soften as the day warms! Even if there is a go

Thanks Quattro, a science teacher in Hokkaido would be ideal. But non-science teachers should not be put off volunteering.
