  1. www.gaperhunter.com is where it's at. http://www.fluorescentrompersuits.co.uk/pics1.html is worthy of mention as well. Some of the stuff in the Burton link looks normal.

  3. Thanks, Kumapix! Yoroshiku o-negai shimasu! I was about to get an MT Snow Mullet, but I decided to part with my Mervin-loving ways and got a Stepchild Ranquet for my pow stick instead. A couple guys I know are thinking of MT Snow Mullets though, so don't hesitate to ask a few months into the season and hopefully I can respond with a gear report.

Escramble Pro's * Landvik's bottomless pow runs intro * Terje, Guch & Jamie top-to-bottom freeriding in Jackson Hole * silly claymation Escramble Con's * too long booter sessions * anti-climactic finish We just placed an order at a snowboard shop in Sapporo and put Car Danchi 2 with the rest of the goods. I really liked the first one, so I'm excited to see this next effor by Neil. I'm also looking forward to More and Bikecar.
