[Skier or snowboarder THE POLL]

Snowboarding for me 2.

[If you could live anywhere in Japan, where would it be?]

I think Nagano.There is also a possibility to go and work there in the future. I hope I can talk my girlfriend into this!!!

[Corny corporate slogans - let's collect and shame them!]

"I am loving it" Macdonalds = the lamest burgers in the world

[Does anyone ski/slide to music?]

From time to time but not always cause it can be dangerous. I focus on the track some times and do stupid things!!!!

I usually bring my MD with and put on some Psy-trance!!!!

[Quick question about travel to hakuba/nozawa/shiga kogen]

Definitely through Tokyo.

The best way to go to hakuba is not the sinkansen but the express train from sinjuku.

It is cheaper than the sincansen (about 16000 yen round trip were sinkansen + bus 20000) and you dont even have to change trains. There are special express trains that go straight to hakuba, it takes 3.5 hours, wile sinkansen to nagano takes around 2 hours from Tokyo + bus 1 hour + you will have to move around with the language to get on the bus.

Last time I went, I was traveling with a friend and we had 2 snowboard bags with us.

No one gave us any problems with the bags; just make sure you stay in line to get on the train at least 30 minutes before departure, if you want to find space over your seats to put your language. Even if you dont do so, you can always leave your language in the space between the cars, no one will complain, I have done it myself many times.

Nozawa by car is usually 4 hours. But if you get caught in traffic it might even take 8!

Unfortunately I had that experience so I prefer sinkansen to Nagano and then local train to togari-nozawa onsen and the taxi or bus to nozawa. There is also a bus from Nagano station to nozawa but I havent used that yet.

[Rubiks cube]

I haven`t solved it yet.

I was really amazed to see a guy with no arms, solving it using his tows in 1 min!!!

[Waxing the snowboard]

ok with that, but I have 2 questions.

a) Befor start puting new wax on the board, do you remoove the old one first?

How do you aply first the base/cleaning wax and then the normal wax?

[Waxing the snowboard]

Has anyone out there tried to do it by himself?

I am the “do it yourself” type and I wanna start doing it from this season.

So, before I start putting a burning hot iron on the board, I could use some tips from someone that already done it. I have downloaded some manuals about this mater but I need some practical advice.

Interesting article, although it’s not something new. I have read more about Cuba in the past. I mast say though that Cuba is not as easy mater to deal with as Iraq was.

By the way, what’s your rate on Cuba?

I give 1/100000000

You must have heard the classical joke about Bush and Schwarzenegger I guess.

 

It goes like:

Q: Whats the common thing in Schw and Bush?

[4 More Years!]

I am not a fan of collective punishment, so I didn’t of course mean the US.

I literally meant, I hope someone puts a bomb up hiss ass!!!!!!

Let HIM have a taste of HIS own medicine!!!

 

In general I am not a fan of terrorism or terror unless its a terror B-movie that I am a great fan!!!!!!

[4 More Years!]

And a small correction to the previous thread.

Its‘s “will Bush bomb next” although I hope for the opposite.

[4 More Years!]

I currently take bets on which country will bomb Bush next.

[Lens colours]

I `ve got my self a pare of Spy goggles and 2 extra lenses. The goggles came with blue mirrors and I also got extra 1 pink and 1 yellow.

I really like the blue ones but you can use them only when it’s really sunny or else you will not be able to see a damn thing through them. Strangely I was able to use them during night skiing with not much problems.

For a cloudy day I use the pink ones, which by the way are the ones that I `ve been using the most last season. .

Finally, although I hate the yellow ones they really work on a day that it’s snowing or it is foggy.
