powwwers

yes i am actually going up to meet tha team. as an inugural `TEAM RAPIDO` member, i wouldn`t be anywhere else! they have two `powwwers`- free days, so hopefully by tha time i get there they`ll be aclimatised. tha video from last year will be making it`s debut- venue and time t.b.a. db, will hafta catch-up again after niseko. hav a borda X on april 4(?) @ hunter mountain if anyones interested.

That`s right folks, TEAM RAPIDO wings it`s way back into Niseko town starting this Thursday. With even more shenanigans planned for this tour, a quiet word of warning to anyone who will be in the area--- LOOK OUT!!! With powder to be plundered, hits to be hat, backcountry to be raped, booze to be drunk, gals to be, well, uno, and scores to be settled, this promises to be the biggest, baddest and best tour to date. On board for the first time are two young, up and coming guns, who will be bringing their `skate` brand of riding to the slopes. The tour culminates at the Toyota Big Air.

uugghhh. antonio, as john lydon once said, " Ya just don`t get." this topic is fair game, but tha discussion should be about how we SHOULDN`T discuss this topic. it doesn`t make me `sqeamish`, like i said, it just doesn`t rate. same as tha racial/religious one. and i don`t think i`m alone here, bcos if i were, somebody would have already posted topics about being straight, black, white, catholic ..... here`s a challenge for ya antonio, start a topic about racial backgrounds, or, religious persuassions, and see what kinda can a worms ya open up you`ll soon learn WHY they are

GREAT STUFF!!! political correctness is just a phrase coined for people who can`t relate to others on a personal level. i do however believe that there`s a time and place for everything. ocean11, get a place ready at tha `not my type` table, and i`ll cook up tha best (non-gay) Thai curry this side o` "The Beach" antonio, i`m glad you enjoyed me rant. i`m sorry to disappoint you, but i`m not `worked-up`. i just couldn`t let this one go through to the keeper! i`m all for open discussion on ALL topics, including this one. the X-box vs. PS2 vs. whatever, is legit discussion. uno, pros

somebody please speak to me like i`m a four year old, what`s with all this fuss about gay stuff??? if you`re gay, straight, bent or somethin else, does it really matter? raury, you `welcomed aboard` somebody just bcos they`re gay. where are all tha `welcome aboard` for all tha non-gays? zwelgen, `ultimate challenge?`...palleeeeese. is that to say that non-gay guys aren`t up for a challenge. and `macho b.s.` you obviously attract tha wrong types for conversation. and just how insecure are you if you need to be inundated with compliments just to be made to feel sexy? ya might wanna loo

i`m not gay, but i once shagged a guy who was!

arry guddo!

can anybody shed some light on this years Big One? a.k.a. The Toyota Big Air. planning on going this year but can`t seem to get any info. tried all tha related sites but came up with nawght. any info would be much appreciated, cheers!

eerrrrr, brushy, no. but you`re on tha right track ocean11- luv ya work! can`t give away all tha secrets big snag.

tha best lifty in j-land is a certain young lass by tha name of `Foxy Roxy` thats my vote anyway!

i`ve given up sex recently (not by choice mind you) and am hoping to take out my frustrations on tha back `count`ry, `tit`rain park and tha half fury `pie`p. if that fails i`l just join a monastry. SO, move it or lose it sister!

hay Nat ya liddle rattler, ya forgot to mention `mikan` and `nekko`! i luv my kotatsu too. if it could talk i`d probly marry it, maybe.

hunta mount. first outing for tha season. new board and bindings. not in real good nick physically though. ah well, can`t have everythin i suppose. see ya there???

hey nagoid, can you also explain that one to me. bcos for tha life of me i can`t work it out. it`s not just bcos that`s how many are in tha picture is it? PLEASE HELP???

great pic moggy, luv ya work! wish i could show ya tha photo i took this mornin where i put tha ruler in tha snow on tha roof of me car. modern technology- ****** marvelous! hey d.b. your dog should get out a bit more often. uno, go and travel a bit and see tha world. rater. sorry for sayin somthin ya might get if ya bump ya nose!

especially tha white `powdered` stuff, hey freaky...man!

cuppla universal terms in snow parlance are, "skiers left" "skiers right". if both peeps are facing in tha same direction this shouldn`t be too difficult to grasp. hey d.b. ya could try "kimasu" or the less favored but `better` of tha two, "iku, iku" good luck ol` son.

howyas goin? snow, glorious snow!!! let it snow enywhere i say. if it`S snowin in tha cities, it`s gotta be pukin it`s guts out in tha hills. this morning there was 13-15cms. on tha roof of me car!!! school has just finished so i`m goin to me local park to build a ramp and set up a rail. up until yesterday i wasn`t keen to go, partly due to tha fact that i carryin a bit of an injury. but now after spendin tha last two hours shovelin tha stuff, (so tha kids can get their bikes out of tha parkin o.k) all i wanna do is go ride. it`s amazing what a little bit of white stuff can do to ya!- nudg

yeah scousa! a mate is also a chocolate covered toffee lolly that tha `diggers` made famous. and i CERTAINLY don`t `Ronnie Coote` them! Ya can call me anythin` Akibun, just don`t call me late for dinner.

tha best part about shiga kogen is tha `UNDERGROUND DESIGN GARAGE` team that make it their home. coooool people, awesome riders and a great new range of clothes- go check `em!!!

tha best way to get from kobe to niseko is by plane and then by bus and/or train. hope this helps!!! ps. just in one o` those moods today- sorry.

...usually when it gets dark and tha lights come on!

hey nulla, whose boots did they put on then???

absolute number one without a doubt would have ta be terje hakonsen. there simply aren`t enough supurlatives to describe how good he is. what he can`t do on a snowboard aren`t worth learning! also, in tha pipe, it`s hard to go past the `other` powwwers. no, not austin, ROSS. he goes that high he needs oxygen! and does it in style too.
