1.) Anyone know where I can get a good deal on a BURTON AK Essence jacket? If so, how much?Looking for the gray or the yellow/gray jacket.
2.) Anyone using the BURTON RONIN 2L or 3L PANTS? Are they quite comfortable?

Yeah, I finally figured out how to change my id. Anyways, yeah I'm down for whatever mountain. I'm sure you know which are better since I have only ridden a few small mountains here.
-
can you guys pull bfs on your boards? misty flips?
-
Y'all wanna hook up for a session in mid Jan ? Hakuba or somewhere around there? Ontake?
-
- I like True Life by the guys at Forum
-
Well, I haven't ridden my board since then but I'm super stoked to get back out there. Heading home in a few weeks and by that time I'm guessing Blackcomb and Whistler will have tons of snow. TDOT eh, are you from the BEACHES?
-
i'm retarded, how do you change your screen name?
-
yeah dude, how did you guess?
Are you from Van? -
What's your favourite trick to hit off a table top? I like going as high as possible and tweaking my methods as far back as possible.......
-
Sweet, how long does it take to drive there from Hamamatsu?
-
dude, where were you riding? Hokkaido?

Don't know the science behind it all, but from experience:
- If you step into a higher heart rate level, you may find that will lose more weight.
- Increasing the amount of time that you are running for is a key factor.
- less intake of calories and more expenditure of energy burning the ones you took in
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the props. Practice off a diving board into a pool or on the mountain into an area with tons of powder.
I think its easier if you learn back handsprings first then as you increase your lift/power/rotation, you should be able to get all the way around.

Unfortunately, only at a few small mountains in Southern Nagano. Looking to go further north this year. What about you?
-
thanks for the info guys. Much appreciated. Iida is in southern Nagano about 2.5 hours from Nagoya on the expressway.
-
Nice, are from Van-city? Are you a JET?
-
Manning, man I remember going there for my Elementary School Graduation trip............was pretty nice!
If I go local, I usually go to Cypress, the guys at Seymour are a little too hardcore for me. But, most of the time I just drive up to Blackcomb.
I went to UBC and graduated in 2001. I'm on my 3rd and final year in Japan. You??? Jet? Nova?
-
You're from, "THE WACK" huh? Sweet.........What year did you grad? UBC uni? Are you a seymour kid or a cypress guy.
-
I'm from Vancouver, where are you from? I hope I did not offend skiiers in my previous post, that was definitely not my intention. What's your fav place to ski in Japan?
-
as i said............."everyone has their own preferences"
-
Sorry, How far are they from Iida, Nagano.
-
How far are these places from Iida? I live in Aichi, the closest urban area from me is Iida.
CONCUSSIONS
in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry

This goes out to all of you who have suffered from a concussion (3rd degree) on the mountain.
My season was cut short last year by a third degree concussion (passed out for 10 seconds, loss of memory, bruised ribs, etc).
My questions that I put out to you guys:
1.) How was it the first time you got back out on the mountain following your concussion?
2.) Did you go all out?
3.) Was it easy to overcome the fear of reinjury?
4.) I heard that once you have suffered a serious concussion, it becomes much easier for you to suffer another. Do you think my helemet will make much of a difference if I land on my head again?
PS The ski patrol that I dealt with sucked donkey ballz.
