the 2 guys couldn't have been arrested since having marijuana in your system is not against the law (possession is). They were banned for life from sumo though.
the first guy got busted because 1)he admitted it was his (when all he had to do was say 'it wasn't there when i lost the wallet'. There was no proof that from the time he lost it to the time it was handed it nobody placed the joint there.
but it's a moot point because 2) he had pipes and marijuana ashes in his ashtray
it's funny hearing about it on the news because they refer to it as doping

ARTEC 2.3
Combining Elan Snowboards’ patented Omega Sidecut with a brand new mid-wide shape, the 2.3 is the state of the art backcountry freestyle deck. Complex transitions and lofty cliff drops won’t pose a problem for this all-mountain freestyle deck. A natural evolution of the riding revolution.
Style: All terrain freestyler
Sizes: 154, 158, 162, 168
Construction: Transfer Woodcore, G60 laminates, mid-wide directional shape, stone ground Warp
Speed 8 Nano base, V2 sidewalls, 4x2 inserts
Now in its second year, the ARTEC Project by Elan stands more than ever for revolution designing boards from the outside in. Everything about the ARTEC boards – their shapes, design and performance - are molded by riding experience alone. The ARTEC Project combines simple ideas with clear visions. Riding driven, innovative shapes are born. Function defines form.
original price is 7man compared to the burton which is 4 man
Looks to me like the Elan is a decent all mountain board ie does everything while the burton is a low end park board.
Since you said you were looking for a jack of all trades I would go with the Elan since it does it all, plus you'll be able to grow into it as you progress. By the way, Elan is one of the largest snowboarding manufacturers in the world. So they are a reputable company.

if you do find the money then you should check neil hartmann's blog & email him. I'm sure he'd set you up. I know he mentioned there was a lot of people outside of Japan wanting a copy.

you can win a number of ways actually: submission by choke or armlock, pin your opponent for 25 seconds, or throw him onto his back with force & precision. If you don't pin them for the full 25 seconds you get points, same goes for throwing them on their side (if they spin out of the throw). If you throw them with force onto their backs you win the fight outright (it's called an ippon). The sad thing about judo is the influx of wrestling moves which have taken away ippon judo. Japan, korea and a few other countries still do quality judo though. Tanimoto the gold medallist for -63kg won all her fights by ippon = quality judo by a true champion -
no need to wait for snowdude. I will tell you all:
it will be cold and snowy in japan in the winter. Niseko & Hakuba will have plenty of snow.

just picked up car danchi 3 and it is so sick! I've been bored for a while of videos that are 50% backcountry booters and 50% rails, so it's refreshing to watch a video that is mostly powder
