wow, i have just read all 7 pages, i know less than 1% of the names, i must be getting old or very isolated here in Shizuoka or both? Anyone into jazz? I like a lot of different music, but be bop jazz is the thing for me. For starters i recommend: Miles Davis Kind Of Blue Other great artists John Coltrane Wayne Shorter Thelonious Monk Charles Mingus Stan Getz Lee Konitz the list is long.. Right now i am listening to The Moody Blues though Last week i listened to Brian Eno's 4 rock albums here comes the warm jets another green world before and after science

It's GWB btw look at this page, temp. is not so far off http://www.jinjapan.org/stat/stats/01CEN12.html

Thanks-A-Lot for some great replies, really! Crazyski and Badmigrane, you have said it all in what i believe is your native language, it is a pleasure to read english written by "the pro's. This Forum is turning out to be the best find for me in a long time. BTW, just saw the weather forecast, to sum things up: the winter is 15 days late this year, don't worry, just be patient (like i am - NOT) atb thunder PS> loved the girls

Looks like temp. will take a drop sunday 11/23. i was waxing my board in shorts and Tshirt today. (Blame it on Bush)

Hi! miteyak, either we are talking about 2 different scenarios or you are a very brave person! when i was in nepal i met many mountainbikers, in the mountains around Kathmandu, and Annapurna, it all looked nice, although too difficult for me. The reason i adviced against cycling in nepal is that the road from kathmandu to Pokara looks like suicide on a bike with the big trucks. but then again i never surf waves bigger than 10 faces og go down the Olympic downhill slope in Happo One. If you have time, tell us a little about your trip, would love to hear about it ATB thunder

Hi there, maybe a bit late for an answer, but! i would think it is more safe to do skydiving without a parachute than riding a bike in Nepal, been there! and from what i've heard, India is even worse. if i was to give any advice, it would be DON'T DO IT!!!!! I've been to Nepal twice, and i simply love the place, people are really nice and Kathmandu is a very special place. But the mountains are truly magical, there is nothing like it anywhere in the world, so gogogo, but do your self a favor and go by bus, although it can be a bit scary too i'll be more than happy to share some m

Badmigrane and others, thanks for the input, and forgive me for beeing a bir of a flyfugger, but: how in the world can a chip, however clever it is, amplify a signal whitout a external powersupply, if Head have found a way, why don't we all connect their chip to everything electrical, and get our power amplified 7 times at no cost? do you know what i mean? That beeing said, i cant wait to get the board in the snow, i have ridden a really cheap crappy board for my first 3 seasons, and this year i got some (hopefully) killer gear. I am really proud of myself, usually i am the kind of

Why am i trying to proove that my 10man is wasted? Ok, so you can generate energy from movement, i am clear on that! But Head claims that the signal is amplified and send back to the fibers. That is what i don't understand. what amplifies the signal? atb Thunder

After reading resort reviews on this site for 3 weeks straight (hmm gotta kill some time preseason) my big hope is hakkoda this year, but with limited recources and time.... probably just 1-2 day trips to Nagano, which is not too bad after all

acording to Head the energy from the vibrations goes to the IC, gets amplified?! and send back to the fibers? sounds really cool, maybe too cool to be true, because: there is no external power beeing supplied, yet the energy gets amplified?! have Head found a never ending source of energy?.. ahh well, i spent my summer bonus on that board, just hoping for the best! atb thunder

good one Davo!! 10 out of 10

No, this is not an insult to the skiers. I have just got my new snowboard, a Head Intelligence, the one with the chip and the fibers that stiffens when you go hard, and i am anxious to get some info before the season kicks off. The technology was introduced on last years skis, and i was wondering if any of you fine people have ridden them and if so, what do you think of them ATB Thunder

Hmm i must admit i did it last weekend... I had To try my new bindings and boots, so i packed my gear and drove 150 km to Yeti, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!!! first of all, it was raining. I know i can't blame Yeti for that. But cmon, the gelende was 3 - 5 m wide, and overcrowded! that makes it impossible to go any faster that walking-speed. and guess what the snow show stopped 50 meters before the lift!!!!!! I had to walk down the final 50 meter to the lift, a slooow 10 minute ride up the 700 m slope, that was after waiting 10-15 minutes in line!!! So, after one hour of Yeti-ing i

Hi akibun (and others) No i haven't lived in toyama, and i live in shizuoka now btw. i came up with the name the other day, do i need to explain why? My whole point is not to endorse any drugs or substances, just to point out the bizare: you do not have the right to decide over your own body. anyway nice to find a forum like this...

Hi everybody! found this great site and the even better forum just 2 weeks ago, seems like a lot of good people here.. Let me share my view: Been smoking weed for 20+ years, i both loved and hated it. I've done a lot of other "stupid" things as well. Weed is NOT the answer to anything, it's not healthy, you don't get smart or start to remember stuff... But i still basically think that we should be allowed to smoke wichever trees we like, It's our life, why can't we do with it as we please?? let me dust off the phrase "victimless crime" ... anyway, no smoking
