oo 1 Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 Hi deebee Been reading all your posts with interest. heres a question. It's hardly mid December, but you must have already spent a FORTUNE on everything?!!? Do you have a "balance sheet"??? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 Yep, set up costs are not cheap! But to be honest i have not spent anymore than an expat would hitting roppongi 2 times a week, which i don't. I lived an extraordinarily hard and wild lifestyle is Sydney for years. Saw and did some utterly mad stuff, very extreme, stuff you will never see in a movie. Cost a fortune. So this snowboardthing is fantastic, I am having a great time, seeing some scenery I never expected to see and get a huge buzz. i plan to land one of those backflips by the end of the season, that way something in life is still extreme in return for all the money.

Markie 0 Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 All I know is that if deebee stays in Japan, then Japan is headed for a consumer led recovery. Judging from the rising yen recently, that has already started. Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 This is going to be really interesting!! Either db is really going to hurt himself, or ender will be eating those boots for about a week. Or even both could happen!! Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 I reckon deebee is already a pretty good surfer so he will probably learn snowboarding much faster than most. Whether he can do a backflip by the end of the season is uncertain but I certainly wouldn't bet against it. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 lets keep in mind that here is only about a 50% chance that I will even entertain the idea seriously and then only a 10% chance that i would even try it. But eating boots sounds interesting, and after he is done I could sell him my ThirtyTwos! Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Back flips are not hard to do, just hard to convince yourself to try, if DB finds a nise jump into pow and trys to do it I have no dought that he would get it after a couple of attempts. It is also pretty hard to do damage to yourself into steep pow - even head first. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Even I've managed the first half of a backflip several times. All without meaning to of course. Digging the snow out of your ears becomes an urgent priority when it's minus 5. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 If deebee can get to the point where he is landing backflips in his first season than he deserves to see me do it. But I have never seen anyone even get good enough to consistently land good air in their first season. Of course I have never know anyone that has ridden 50 days in season one. Anyway, you've got a ton of zeal deebs. I am rooting for you. Link to post Share on other sites

Markie 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 This is NOT a bet, just some encouragement. If you succeed, it'll be dinner on me when (if) we get to meet up. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 If I succeed at eating my boots I won't need to eat dinner for a while, but thanks for the offer. ...oh, you were talking about the backflip... Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 That was a good one, enderzero! You're definitely invited too! But the invitation only covers human food...I'm not paying for your Salomons or Lange sideorders. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 ender, your boots look awfully unpalatable. You might get deebee to let you off with eating mine - they're very soft and 'shittori'. It might also be wise to start setting conditions like 'no backflip's off raised lips', and 'backflip followed by 10 m of stable riding', you know, hedge a bit. Do you have a good dentist?

Markie 0 Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 That's an easy one! In the weekends, he surfs the snow or the water depending on the season and his location. On weekdays, he surfs the net. A very full-time job if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites
