stripper on coke

I shave it all.......more airodynamic (???), and no waste on the pillow in the morning

Hats off to Kraftwerk - they da dudes !!! Respect to what they've done for dance music, it's hard to imagine the rave scene without them. That said, they are a little minimal for my sound, I prefer a more progressive approach with a touch of psychedelica thrown in....

By the sunny backwater of downtown Kagura, I can be found 24/7......

don't knock the 'silver bullet'....

Ozzies men ..............driving to the hospital while attached to sharks, .........diving onto rivers and wrestling with crocodiles, ..........getting pissed and obnoctious (???) while drinking beer at the cricket and footy, ........is there nothing these men can't do........???????

Why not ask the international man of mystery.........(no, it's not me), the one and only Austin Powers (Baby). I am sure he knows a little about 'swingers'

"It's better to burn out than fade away"......the guy ended it his way. What would have happened had Kirt not shot himself in the head? ? ? ? ? Might have made a nice producer for someone like Eminen, or Puff Daddy (or whatever he's calling himself these days).....one can only wonder.......... In my opinion though, rock died with Cobain. Perhaps he should really have bought a computer and made tekno music. I have never heard of anyone who goes to raves/dance parties blowing their head off.....must be all the disco biccies and the like.........

Yeah, we got a couple of new signs at Kagura, and a couple of laughs at the english phrasing, 'it is not allowed the skiing of snowboards out of bounds'......Why can't anyone (almost) in this country get an english message or sign correct. Surely it can't be too hard to ask someone. I mean, if I wanted to make a Japanese sign and stick it somewhere, the first thing I would do is have a Japanese person/speaker read it and see if makes sense. Japanese people/organisations don't seem to do this seemly simple operation, and I usually get a good chuckle at the results..... BTW, I wonder

d=(^o^)=b , wanna hook up and go for a night out sometime ? ? ? ? ? Sounds kinda fun......

Dear Miteyak I am at a complete and utter loss as to see the relevance/similarity between an 'icy dwelling' and avalanche debris. You maybe into a snow/icy dwelling experience that other amongst us are unaware of - is it fun? One of my riding buddies went through two Lifelink shovels before he tired of taking them back to the shop for claims; not a bad effort for a 54 year old 48kg Japanese without an 'icy dwelling' or avalanche debris involved. I think he still has the broken blade from the last one...

If anyone has had to actually dig in the wake of an av, it is like digging through concrete - how effective would the plastic blade be ? ? ? I know the plastic shovel is going to be a little lighter in the pack then a steel or aluminium one, but, will it be up to scratch when it is really needed ? Btw, BCAccess 'Companion' shovel stores a probe in the handle of the shovel, saving space, and keeping it handy in times of need.

I'd have to also go with something like BRILLIANT A lot of fresh powder, a lot of fun between runs.....day 22 and counting....Kagura - love it !!!!

I use the BCAccess Tracker - also simple and effective, particularly when using it in a multiple burial situation....I like it !!

Thanks fattwins.....guys, I didn't mean to offend or insult anyone. Having been a weekend warrior myself for a number of years, I just felt it was a tongue-in-cheeck way of describing weekend recreational skier/boarders - sorry about that........ ;)BTW, the amount of people coming on weekends will have zero effect on my being employed, because, I am not. I just go boarding... Look, I don't really care what anyone does. We are all grown ups here, no ? I guess the real point I was trying to make, was to just bring it to people's attention that the backcountry (including the relatively easy hike

btw, for more info on the backcountry, have a look at www.backcountryclub.com See ya on the powder

Glad to hear all you guys enjoyed Kagura sooo much. Living here, I get to enjoy it most of the time with just a few friends, which is much more fun than sharing it with the weekend warriors. However, I now have the answer as to who is screwing the trail up so much hiking in ski/board boots. In case you never though about it, skins work by applying pressure across the whole surface of the ski/board. When people ( a very polite description) hike the trails without skins/shoeshoes it makes it, at times, almost impossible for others to hike the same trail. On the steeper parts of a climb, the

E wasn't bad in it's day, but really, nothing beats a couple of good drops of liquid and a dozen hours wandering around in nature, or just wandering around your mind..... Of course, skinning up along the way is mandatory, along with a couple of lines (just for the doctor !!)

.stoke. , just FYI, I am not the Kiwi dude, actually I am an Ozzie, and a satisfied one at that........ See ya off the trail....

Best bet yet, why not enroll in an avvv safety course. You'll sure learn a lot more than you will posting notices on websites. there is an experienced Kiwi guide offering avv safety courses in the Naeba/Kagura area for VERY reasonable rates. I've done his course myself, and you would be surprised on just what is (possibly) not very stable or safe. Having said that, it is nice to be able to recognise where to go and where to stay away from.......wouldn't want to miss out on tomorrow now, would we....... If you would like to hooked up, just let me know.

Does anyone out there ride a split board ? ? ? Whick maker do you ride ? ? ? have you tried any other brands ? ? ? ? What is your opinion on the whole split board thing (obviously for BC abuse). How do they go on the groomed stuff - usually have to deal with the resorts at some stage.....and lastly, what are they actually like to hike on ? ? Appreciate any info. Cheers...

Bummer dude.....wot you needed to do was pull out your embassy id card - works for everything from parking tickets, speeding fines and even cruising down the emergency lane on the expressways. Worth twice it's weight in gold..... Not that I've ever done any of those things......
