Helmet or Not to Helmet
samurai replied to Fubuki's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I don't know a single person around the world that is in my riding circle that doesn't wear a helmet. huh... all of us that have been riding for 30+ seasons must be retarded or something. -
Giro Helmets
samurai replied to OkemoLoon's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Okay, a helmet that is too big isn't going to fit any lower than a proper fit. A perfect fitting helmet is also going to touch the top of your head. I think your giro doesn't mix with your goggles, regardless of size. Rule #1- buy both together. (And, this is only negotiable if you bring your goggles or helmet to the shop and fit there before you buy.) I use a Giro Fuze and an Oakley A-frame. seemless. Send your helmet, or goggles back, and start all over again. you oopsed it. -
no prenup, and it didn't even cross my mind. But I don't have anything to lose either. As far as me working hard for more success in life and (hopefully) accomplishing that success... well, I'm doing that for her and to prepare a secure future for the family we dream about. If I wasn't married, I'd still be smoking chron and skiing 150 days a year and I wouldn't have the drive to succeed financially that I currently do. She made me wanna be a man, and if I do succeed in life, it's because of her. I'll never forget that.

management philosophy. I hate this country's management philosophy. The whole hierarchy program is preventing the national economy from actually growing. I (assume) that contractors and builders think that one should have to pay more for central heating because it's modern and outside the box of tradition. "It's new, so it's expensive." don't get me started. I hate my job and I hate my experience with japanese office management. My school just bought new computers for all the staff... in XP because Vista is mendokusai. (they also bought new printers... so don't feed me a

Winter sleeping bags
samurai replied to SerreChe's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
sick stove. You're stoked. Don't forget to shake it after your burn. Quick... learn to take it apart and put it together again. Anyway... sick stove. You should be stoked. -

Evel was a real trail blazer in this regard. Not too many people were doing that shit in 1971. Check out the bikes he was doing the jumps on, not the lightweight super suspension types guys ride these days. I'll bet he never practiced his jumps in a foam pit either. GIGANTIC TOUCHE! Absolutely, Mantas. Did you realize you never used the word JERK in your iconism? The guy chucked metal across vast distance

I've never once heard anyone say that Evel was a jerk. I don't doubt you, but I will say that his being a jerk had nothing to do with why he was an American idol. He was an American idol because of his balls, his aim in life and willingness to always push the envelope. Americans love boldness and seeing people stand up to their fears. where do you think this whole extreme sports generation came from? Surely Evel did

I believe Samurai said he'd never do anything again that might result in a fall because he's gettin too old for that sht. I think he's just reminiscing his fading youth H -

samurai replied to tripitaka's topic in General off-topic discussions
he's learning to fall quite well. (I mean the skill of preventing injury when falling.) I say go for it. Not all prodigies fade young. Heck, Tony Hawk kept it together. nonetheless, he's building confidence skills. -
