Care to share her details? What's the cost involved? Re the nighta, unless you have tried it, you can't even begin to speculate what it's like, we rode annupuri today from 12 t

hey MB whats a gentemstick set you back? gonna wander down there in the next few days and pick up a copy of signiatures.

for sure in the next few days i will go, was there a cost involved or just get in first...epic day today...mizo would have been off the hook!

mildly offensive but accurate

I lend everything I have except what I use myself as current kit, old outerwear, gloves, goggles, boards, boots, helmets EVERY last bit of it. Share the stoke, help your friends join you in a love of the snow.... Don't be so precious, that board you bought in 2001 ain't going to get any newer and if your not going to ride it anymore why not loan it out...for a case of beer or even nothing in return!

I will be there over those dates, also shoot d90... Where abouts you thinking of shooting? Night stuff too?

i'm going to enquire about in the next few days when i visit NV.... i'm assuming its at NV where they do the lecture right? anyone know? When i get the go ahead i'll be doing a helmet cam run down it!

awesome pic series

whoa whoa whoa, hold up guys, i wasnt picking on MP's riding or the vid, just making a legit comment for feedback on the look of the vid which any respecting videographer would do, without that kind of input you sometimes dont pick up on it... i love getting it because it helps polish the end result and your vids get better and better... i wasnt saying the whole thing is too jerky, but just when on the rough stuff like in the latter half of the vid on the cat tracks etc...you can see the cam shaking in the mount which would not be what MP's head is actually doing it's just caused by a kind o

haha, i knew you were over there yesterday...i saw THE COFFIN leaning against the rack outside the gondola! my sister dropped her glove off the lift too, but the Jumbo 1 just near where it comes over that big crest out of the bottom station... it was night so i dont think anyone could see, except those on the lift... was nice pow too

yeah gareth is spot on with the angle change! nice footy though, one more little suggestion is a more steady/stable mount, the camera gets really jerky when you hit anything rough...or do drops. i use a vio pov and it has very stable mounts so you dont get that jittery feel. lots of velcro and cable ties come in handy, but i guess it sounds like you have more gear though...so disregard this if it's already sorted!

well thats just great, i entered and only just realised it ended weeks ago damn i had it in mind for my wedding anniversary while i am there...oh well congrats to Rob, place looks pretty fantastic....better than a quad share bunk room eh

hello ilovezao, i have some questions for you about Zao, but probably best suited to PM. can you PM me as i cant PM you for some reason. (help SJFORUMS??)

40 minutes eh GN, where can one hiore a vehicle in niseko/kutchan and what's the cost involved?

well we dont speak it very well, in fact without our trusty phrase book we would be done for...but as for reading it..no way, no knowledge at all. the first time we went over we stayed in a pension, the couple running it spoke no english, but it was booked by an agent. ever since then we book our own trips to save $ and go longer. i have some japanese friends who may be able to help, but they liuve in oz to. does anyone here care to interpret for us? sure would be appreciated with many thanks!

wow post grave dig and it was my own thread! haha anyone know where in tokyo i could go to get the ones compliant to japanese regs? i was researching this again as last time we didnt bother, but with some filming happening we would prefer some kind of tech coms to assist us. i dont want to bring one in after seeing this. http://www.soumu.go.jp/soutsu/hokkaido/eng.htm
