ALASKA!

well stoked!!! for your info. i scored return tix to hokkers. tokyo 1jan, return 12jan. cost: 20,800 yennies. ( SORRY ) tha key is to get friendly with ya local travel agent and let them do all tha work.

i used ta have a pair of quikky pants that were awesome! it`s not so much tha brand, it`s tha material they use. quikky use Entrant which is one of if not the best. i`m currently riding Gore-tex and love them too. don`t choose brand for brands sake, choose material for comforts sake, for #$%&s sake! just a thought.

auw i kan say is, " you lucky, lucky lucky lucky, lucky, lucky lucky, bAHhstad." oh, and can ya get a few turns in for me? cheers

g`day albino. so ya wanna bring your front foot in a bit to narrow yar stance hey? it will make a bit of diff. how much depends on a whole lot of things lyk weight, height, style.... but generally, it will be a little less forgiving in the turns bcos you`ll be more upright, not low-down and skanky. so make sure your in control of those edges. jumping? tha landings might be a bit more sketchy bcos your not as stable. so on landing, make sure ya really bend those knees and absorb tha terrain. speed? your speed should increase because your weight is no longer as `centered` as it was. i

two bits of advise for ya: "don`t go where those huskies go, don`t eat that yellow snow"

nut

a luxury for sure, no doubt about it. i couda bought a house easy with tha money i`ve spent on boarding- not that i`m complaining! i would even go further and say its a religion, or even a drug. "PRAISE tha lord. Yeeeaah maaaann!"

personally, i cant see how anyone can wear sunnies at anytime, let alone at night. tha thought of all that air/wind getting in your eyes and makin `em water is too much for me. BUT,,, i do see people wearing sunnies out on tha hill! maybe it`s just me. and then, cupple that with some big kick ass flakes and well, you get me drift? hope that clears that up for ya Q`ey.

`ken oath bro. love too. would hafta make it an all nighta though as last train would b too early. anybody else all nighta? dec. 6 sounds good!

how about Colin Hay, lead singer of `Men at Work`? I come from........ Yeeaaaaaahh.

depends on where in saitama you are? tochigi has heaps of snow fields, pretty close and lots o` f.u.n.

Yuki, you passionate one,i prefer ls&2sb`s too! and pitt was good in snatch. my mate`s aikido instructor taught him how to put on the accent. he is a good actor and don`t believe anything else ya might hear!

gawwwd nori-chan! how long is a peice of string???

good question, but i`m gonna leave it to Ocean11 to fill ya in. it`s more up his alley. if you`ve eva seen `Snatch` with Brad Pitt, you`ll know what a `pykie` is, and,,, I CAN`T STAND `EM

Yes indeedy doody, strap,strap,strap all tha way. but you do need to flex a little at the ankles, knees and hips, in order to `absorb the terrain` yes, we all luv to ride through the pow, but there are times when you don`t have enough speed or you have a stack. i did have a few problems on these occasions with my burton SI`s. overall though, good preformance, BUT,,, strap,strao,strap!

"I CAN`T STAND PYKIES"

hey d.b. i rode those step-ins for a cuppla seasons. they more than sufficed. BUT, in my humble opinion, ya can`t beat conventional strap-ins for overall performance. if ya do land yarself some step-ins, be sure to get ones with a high back, as they will encourage forward lean, which is very important when starting out. n.b. d.b. avoid flashy gimicks and tha latest `thing` stick with proven reliability and track record. R&D will beat tha best `TEAM` anyday. `Saving time` is one of those gimicks, because you still only ride at a pace which is comfortable for YOU. plus, if

.....that is the question. POLLS, POLLS and more POLLS!!! Everywhere we turn nowdays we see polls. I can`t walk down the street without seeing one. So here is the poll to end all polls.....

well i`ll be..... ya actually have to clean that fan do ya? i like them, i like them a loht.

freaky gal,,, Ocean11 is right. ya can use burton bindings on any board simply by changing baseplates. tha set-up they`ve got is actually tha best goin around. why doesn`t anyone else employ it??? i hear ya ask. because it`s patented, that`s why. oh yeah, everything in everything is a scam. it`s just a matter of which `scam` works best for you!!! d.b. just make sure ya get that `strap in` set up. it`s comfortable and convienient. don`t be sold on `time-saving` or any o` tha other gimmicks they throw at ya. happy hunting!!!

ahhh, got it out last night. i`ve got some peeps comin for a bit o` a dinner party tonight and i know they`ll want it out, so i thought , what tha heck! tell ya what though, it was good to get out of bed and be nice an toasty this morning.

i`m with tha yak on this one. it works both ways. i think i stated in an earlier post that tha day i don one is tha day i whack me head. but i`ve also seen peeps do crazy stuff just cos they`re wearin one. i can`t help but think about tha comparisons between helmets being compulsory in Oz if ya ride a pushy. before tha law was introduced, a certain helmet manafacturer started mass producing them. insider info. (me thinks)! Q. remains to be seen if tha same thing happens in tha snow game. could be some huge dollars made!!!

tha solution is simple. make sure you have the highest available medical insurance! that way, you can go as big and as hard as you like, knowing full well that should you come a cropper, everything will be sweeeeeeeet mayte. simple

OH talisker, say it isn`t so. what makes this year any different? are you sure it wont just be tha same as `strawberries` has been tha last 4 years? i.e. everyone knows it`s off limits, but that doesn`t stop hordes of peeps goin in there. i ruv that area. and i specially ruv tha sign that reads:- DO NOT OVER THE ROPE OR UNDER THE NET. IN THE PAST, MANY PEOPLE WERE DEAD.- brooooliyant stuff indeed! snofreik, it`s about 10 or 12min. and when i say off and on, i dont just mean kinda on, i mean ON as in ready to ride. laces done up, jaket done up, powder-cuff done up, goggs/b
