scouser 4 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I think all us boarders should take up skiing for 1 day and at the same time the skiers take up boarding on a special 1 day swap trip. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Its probly better if it happens for 2 days so that everyone is not scared for life by the horrific first day. Link to post Share on other sites

ThisCharmingMan 0 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I often swap tools when I go out. Take both my skis and board with me in the car. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I'd like to swap my floppy leather boots for some decent snowboarding boots. And I'll be looking to give away my inferior Belligerent bindings... Link to post Share on other sites

miteyak 0 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 I'd swap me teles for some fixed heels for the day, but I fear i'd never get 'em back Link to post Share on other sites

enderzero 0 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 To tell you the truth I was thinking it would be fun to try skiing again (after a 5 year absence). I used to think I was a pretty good skier until I had been boarding half a dozen times. I wonder what it would be like now. Chances are I would break my leg. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 I used to ski as well, i dont think i would ever go back to skiing though, i got very bored with it. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 I like to board every now and then so when people insinuate that snowboarding is in some way better than skiing, I can smile inwardly knowing I am better at snowboarding than they are and its their sport.

Ocean11 0 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I had a perplexing dream about this topic last night. I swapped tools with a ski-girl I met at a wedding recently, and didn't have much fun with the tools I got. I then spent the whole dream traipsing round a resort, riding the lift aimlessly clutching her damn skis looking for her, while the snow got all carved up. This dream has put me in a rather irritable mood this morning... Link to post Share on other sites

klingon 10 Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I've decided after a lot of thought that I'm going to try skiing again this season. So there. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 klingon, are you going to play alpine or viking? Getting down on one knee seems to be the fashionable thing to be doing these days... Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 The viking style seems very "busy". Also looks quite hard. It seems that it is mandatory to have a big backpack with lots of loose straps when going viking style. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Yeah, busy is what it is. I don't think it will last as a fad, precisely because it seems to require so much more effort for what everybody else does with a lot less. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 No way, chaps! I'll stick to me board for now. Link to post Share on other sites
