Firmly On The Soapbox
powwwers replied to js's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry

i hear ya subby, i hear ya! Quote: they`ve got a long way to go before... Quote: ...sure, but everything starts somewhere. i`m not on me soap box just yet, but tha jury is well an truly out. one thing i`ve been thinking about while we`re wating for tha season `proper` to kick off is:- What must all the peeps who have made the `early` visit here be thinking right now??? i mean, they would have been sold with a marketing campaign that included a segment on a prime-time travel show, and the endless preaching of how when the cold fronts cross tha j sea from siberia blah bl -

this article might give some indication as to what to expect in the not too distant future. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/12/03/1101923324640.html no matter how simple ya make tha lesson, some people just neva learn -

Niseko the new Aspen??
powwwers replied to Dean's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Good point Deano. I haven`t actually been to Aspen (although i have spent some time in Vail/Beaver Creek), so i think i know what ya mean. I sure as hell hope it doesn`t go that way. Yeah, it`s good for the local economy an that, but peeps were gettin by before the big influx. I`ve been goin there since Jan. `99, and the change sure is noticable. I`m not one to deny someone makin a buck or two, but the bottom line is GREED. Who says when `enough is enough`??? I think some of the operators who are in there now have got `in` with some of the J. locals and basically promised them the wo -

deebs, if i were u -(which thank god i`m not ) i woudnt go any longer than a 161 (64 at a pinch). if you`re in tha deep, just make sure ya bindings are back as far as they can go. i rode a 161 all last season and got away with it ok, and we`re similar size. (not downstairs though- i way kick your ass there ). even in tha pow, there weren`t any times when i wished i`d had some extra length. for your type of riding, make sure you get somthin on tha `stiffer` side. check out Head Intelligence- superfast board that will excite you, Nitro- good rail to rail riding or Gentem- they mak -

you have an amen right here brother yuki. "AMEN" anotha thing that gets me about these trukkin christians, is that, when somethin good happens its gods will. eg: "Isn`t god wonderful? He must`ve wanted that to happen." but then when things go all pear shaped, its like, "Oh, that happened because of mans imperfection, or because he didn`t have enough faith in god." makes me wanna puke

give it a few years thunder-dude, and all those ties you found will b back IN! do suits maketh tha man? or do man maketh tha suit? i agree with db- "IT`S HOW YOU WEAR THEM." a lot o`peeps dont feel comfortable in `em cos they don`t know how to wear `em and so pass `em off as troublesome and unnecessary. but worn correctly they can be cool and sophisticated. thats wot i rekon anyway...

saw SLIPKNOT a cuppla years ago here @ Summa Sonic. they were... INTERESTING lyrics almost impossible to decipher. but an awesome bass and heavy drum sound. i didn`t know much about `em so wasn`t overly keen.(not reeeaally my thang) i sat in tha stand, but tha ground looked like tha place to be- lots of moshing goin on. sakitumi, go see `em! there are worse things ya could spend ya hard earned on btw, i saw `Fat Boy Slim` last week and that was somthin`. enyone else catch him??? (sorry, not related, but...uno)

blinken`ek!!! my acupuncturist is blind too. i recently learned that there are quite a few in the field. must have somthing to do with a `heightened` sense of touch. also, bcos my j-go isn`t exactly fluent, i often find it diff. to tell him exactly whats wrong. but somehow he manages to `hit tha spot`. amazing, init? i`d go a massage with a happy ending, right about now.

Asahidake - anyone been?
powwwers replied to Dorzy's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
dorzmiester, i`d give it a thumbs up. i did a boardaX there a few years ago, so only spent one day there. but from what i saw, i liked. has enough steep to keep ya interested, thats for sure. it was late in tha season-march- but still had plenty of rideable pow. might be worth chekin out, if only to get away from tha maddening crowd thats likely to descend upon niseko this season. lata -

Going back to home country - busy busy busy...
powwwers replied to rach's topic in General off-topic discussions
i went home this time last year (Oz), for 6 weeks. and while it was great to catch-up with family/friends, i didn`t have AS good a time as i thought i would! yeah, it was winter, and i went riding a bit, but no one had `time` to do fun stuff. next time i go home will deff. be summer, when everyones on hols. and have time to do fun stuff.
