riddled-with-fun 0 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 It is mine. I just love it. Love it more each year as I get better. I live for it. Hate it when winter finishes. Don't mind late summer, because it's coming round again. Just thought I'd put it down for record. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 How long have you been doing it? At the end of my first season, I was distraught when the snow melted. Literally not a day went past until my first ride of my second season that I didn't think longly, achingly, of snowboarding. It's not nearly so acute this year, although I still live for it. Oh yeah.

riddled-with-fun 0 Posted May 17, 2002 Author Share Posted May 17, 2002 5 years Ocean11. My second year was like you, but then it got worse as I got better - can't do without it. Summer seems so empty Link to post Share on other sites
HoTRoD 2 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I'm feel as though summats missing in the summer months too. Basically I seem to spend that time just surviving in the heat and taking showers. ! Link to post Share on other sites

barok 0 Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 seeing as the number of deep powder days is a mere fraction of the number of days where I've had sex, I'd have to go with the powder, although it's real close. now both in the same day, that's something I've never had . . .

Ocean11 0 Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Well Sharon, when barok comes to Japan, you two mebbeez should 'hook up'... Choose a good powder day and knock yourselves out. Link to post Share on other sites

Sharon 0 Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Sorry, was a bit naughty, just found it bizarre, much as I love skiing (admittedly, I'm not a snowboarder, so perhaps my opinion would be different), that guys, in particular, would say it was their all time "favourite thing". Never had both in the same day??? Barok??? What else is there to do when the ski towns all have dinner at 6, then a bath in a nice onsen and you're lucky if you can find a vending machine open after 9pm. There was one time in Niseko (when I went skiing w/o hubbie) and some friends and I spent at least an hour traipsing around trying to find a place that sold Otaru beer - to no avail.

oo 1 Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Yes, I think we can take the sex out of the equation, it goes without saying. Before I took up skiing and the board, winter was my least favorite season too. But now it's by far the favorite. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 Ah, but does it go without saying? Would I spend an hour getting my kit together the night before, get up at 5 am, drive for two hours, pay 6,500 in tolls and tickets, just to get laid? Honestly, I wonder who would... Perhaps I'm too lazy, or not committed enough, or just too old? But to be sure, a day's snowboarding certainly makes me feel pretty frisky. Before the drive home that is.

klubhead 0 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 snomboarding is good but dj'ing is much better. i'm playing next at Yellow in tokyo on sat 30th november with Ko Kimura. When you spin at a club and the club goes off, it's the best chemical free buzz in the world. I LOVE boarding but .... you have you heard Robbie Rivera ' Rivera's Groove' played in front of 2000 clubbers??? Link to post Share on other sites

Will Lee 0 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Well, I suppose it`s easier to get laid than to find good pow? The way I see it, you can get laid all year-round but you can only enjoy snow 5 to 6 months in a year. Link to post Share on other sites
danz 0 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 yes...powder and sex... can't really imagine many things better than that...how bout sex with someone that enjoys powder as much as you?? hey klubhead...what kind of stuff do you spin...i might be looking to party in tokyo on the 30th.... danz Link to post Share on other sites
klubhead 0 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 progressive house, tribal house and a little german tech house. I'll be playing in the main room from 10 to 1.30. It will rock. Promise!!! Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 This is not the first time I have had this conversation - Which is better Sex or Snowboarding? I like Ocean's reasoning. I think that thinking about sex is better than thinking about boarding, but actually going snowboarding is better than the actual act of sex. Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 to get back to the main topic....(and I have to agree, sex is better), but in a sports sense, I'd have to say surfing. I've evolved. You acutally have to have something in all months to do or you will go crazy. Oh yeah, and I love to ski too. Just this year I'm out for 3 months. 'jimmy down'. (sorry to you non-seinfeld watching people). I just bought some new K2 Extremes, twin tip, fatty-ass pow pow skis, and I just had to go and hurt my knee. So be it. I'm gonna learn to play the guitar while I'm down. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Hey Plucky, when you pluck your guitar you can sing this blues song; Woke up this morning My knee still sore as hell I woke up this morning Yeah my knee still sore as hell I woulda gone skiing for sure If I hadna screwed up and fell That'll make you feel a lot better.

Plucky 0 Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Hey, that's pretty clever. Ocean, I'd like to invite you up to ski Aomori this winter. Maybe end of Feb or March. I'll pay your way. I make tons of dough here so it is no problem. We get the bullet up here on Dec 1. It would be an easy trip. Come on up buddy! You seem like a nice guy! Respond to this and I will give you my email. I know you can afford to take 2 or 3 days off to board Hakkoda or Hachimanti. This would be a hoot! We can take pics and film and you can be in my next movie! Hell, I'll even jump on a board and go with you. That would be a blast! Skis be damned! Luckily I learned to board as a kid, so I should be alright. let me know what you think!
