hmmm guess I was wrong about the banter in the helmet thread, plenty in here.......
-
Definitely want adjustable vents, thinking about the tunes option. Are they easy to turn on and off without having to undress. Good for chatting with your mates before dropping the line.....
-
AK-Not really trying to be persuaded or influenced in any way. Just wondering what people opinions were, and if anything I was really just trying to start something with EBC and you...
there just doesn't seem to be the right amount of banter on this forum.But if you really want to know my head is sort long and round with a bump in the back kind of like a western eggplant with a tumor......now can you help me????
-
the 6th so might head straight up from the airport. we'll see how i[m feeling. But will be toting a new (used) board so will be itching to try er out
-
just be careful swinging that BD pole of yours it might end up stuffed deep in your........well you know!
So you gonna be up for xmas/NYs?
-
FT- the helmet will just slow me down ya know....wind resistence.
CB-the only one that's getting tackled is your sorry ass just for being you.
BP-yeah I was looking at that helmet, looks sweet, but haven't tried one on yet. Maybe this weekend.
Tohoku-yeah I know what you mean about false confidence. I did try one a couple of times last year, and found myself less hesitant about huck off things, but maybe that was a good thing. I think I know my limits enough to know if I am going to die if I launch off something. But you never know when your following FT's lines!

Not sure how many of you out there are covering your noggin, but I'm thinking about getting a helmet this year and just wanted to see what kind of comments everyone has.
1)What's your opinion, helmet or no helmet?
2) Any recommendations? I know that in the end it comes down to fit, but has anyone got any major complaint with one helmet or another. Any amazing features i should know about?
-
FT-where you thinking about going?
-
well I can dream can`t I? Yeah got the 47/Goryu one.....
EBC-I like the way you think......(sometimes)
-
I`m thinking about a meter of fresh light powdery snow..........
-
AK it sounds like the whole time you will be building bc booters, are you actually going to be doing any riding..... and if that`s the case why buy a pass at all you can hike in the bc build a kicker and session all day for free...
-
yeah couldn`t bring myself to drop 7man this year. I`m gonna do my best to stay off the radar, and definitely carry a point pass
-
great you guys are trying to lure everyone to Happo this year and I will be riding 47 all by my lonesome.....AK don`t listen to them buy 47....
-
yellowsnow- I think it`s day-glow one piece suits, but not sure. At least I`m goin for that look this year....
-
yeah it is a bit annoying......eh?
We should put a shizle ban on this forum
-
FT-yeah will bring it up this weekend in hopes of some fresh snow. Don`t want to be punching through the snow though.

-
Yeah man I was bummed to leave when I saww all those big fat, I mean PHAT flakes falling from the sky, but oh well hopefully the sun won`t burn it all off by next weekend.
CB-yeah I`m headed back to the states for x-mas but will be up every weekend after that. How about you. Hope to see your ugly mug up there more this year.
-
oh I see how it is just use me as a slave then head out for the goods all by yourself.......
-
well I don't think anyone coulod actually function a high tech device in our state of mind, so unfortunately I don't think there is incriminatin evidence against anyone, but I could be wrong........

Well last weekend's BBQ was a hell of a good time. Thanks to Fat Twins for having it at his place, and like usual passing out super early so that people could torture you. Thanks to old the old time SJ veterans for being there and keeping the entertainment going. And thanks to all the new people I met. I had a great time. It was a perfect way for me to end my season. Now it's time to switch to summer mode.....let's bike!
-
FT- yeah I was bummed I backed out to considering the guy I was suppose to meet didn't even show. F#$%"er. Well next weekend I will come a little more prepared for some BC excursioning, so hopefully the rain can stay away!
Sweet pics by the way....I had a look at Janus's pics and I was kicking myself for not going....

This year I also made the transition back to strap bindings. I had been riding clicker highbacks for years, and you are right they are super convienent, except in powder. I ended up buying the Burton Cartel highbacks this year and have been so totally impressed by them. The cap strap gives you the same feeling as the toe/heel attachement of the clickers with a bit more flexibility. Also I have found the cartel way more comfortable than the clickers. It took a little getting use to again, but after a day of riding straps I won't ever go back to clickers. The highbacks are stiff, which helps with the edge to edge transfer, super responsive. But for sure the best thing about the Cartels is the cap strap, why did it take so long to invent such a simple idea?

I've usually got on a long sleeve med. weight thermal plus a heavy thermal fleece pullover thingy witht the zip turtle neck that SubZero was talking about, and my shell. If is is cold I add a light weight windproof marmot jacket that is fleeced lined, then of course the shell on top, but even with all of this on I've gotten pretty chilly on some of those super windy days way up in the alpine stuff. I'm actually looing for a new jacket that is lined any recommendations out there?
-
mine was deffinitely Happo, late Dec or early Jan... it was unreal! Endless powder and so many lines to hit all day that remained untracked. I've never experienced a pllace like it before. Usually the entire mountain is tracked after the first 4-5 runs......not in this case
