Fattwins 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Its a lie as big as the 13meter avie gates. find it actually anyone try to find this. Fattwins has said before that at 15 i was sliding rails. I have always said that I started to ski at 18, second when i first started to ski there were no rails nor snowboards. my first rail was done maybe 6 years back. Back it up with facts please. You owe beer for that and for me teaching you how to wax, when i was am even busier than you. Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure if I am heading straight from narita to the coast or going to hakuba and nigaata before then driving back to the beach. But if my thinking is right it makes no sense to go to niigata first. anyone know any good places to rent a van thats would be ideal for sleeping? Also I think I remeber seeing super cheap sleeping bags at JusCo, Am I crazy to think Ill be able to get a shitty bag for 10 bucks? Also undecided if I should bring my tent, whats a beater tent worth out there? tHanks Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Ian ianbc - I can't help with the surf destinations. Neither of the areas I know would really please you so much. Besides, they are both quite close to Tokyo, which should put you off. I kind of stopped surfing in Japan. Pig knows places. Speak up Piggy. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 ian - i'm going to miss you then - i leave for new zealand tomorrow and not back until aug 18 - are you coming back for the hakuba pow in winter? not sure about jusco, but you can pick up a crappy sleeping bag for stupid cheap at a store called cainz home my friends surf in chiba, the izu peninsula, shonan, kamakura (all north and south of tokyo) or for colder waters head the other side of hakuba to the japan sea --- but get in touch with will from gravity worx in hakuba and he could tell you some exact spots Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 jump down a flight of stairs and spin how is that related to sking? jumping down a flight of stairs is not sliding a rail. How you come up with this crap is beyond me. its jumping down a flight of stairs at school or the mall. Stop saying things that the truth doesnt back up. Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Sorry Toque but im tired of the untruths she pulls out to slag on you. ie the hole at her house ie the 13meter high avie gate ie this comment etc. i dont believe it anymore. Call me before you kill your phone, keep my addy on file. ill be backin Canada next year in the summer. If I can get out your way I will try. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah dude chill... jeeeez i don't know how it's related to skiing, you wrote it - jump down some stairs and spin - sounds like skiing to me.... what kind of other spinning are you talking about - some dodgy dance move? who knows what you kids did in the 1980s. aaaaanyway, this is far from relevant, let's stop this. why are you talking about the hole in the ground at my house? how random is that?! in winter i couldn't see down it, and someone could potentially sprain an ankle if they fell down into it. the damn avie gates - i will show you them - i don't know exact heights, but i can tell you they are different from the ones on piste on happo - totally different design. anyway, like toque says it's just playin, it's not serious, so stop taking it seriously... we don't argue like this in person, we're usually laughing about something, then you go mental on here. calm down dude. i know you've got a lot of shit on but actually so do i - so don't send me random abusive text messages like you just did. today i've got to do a name change on my car in nagano, take a damn bus back to hakuba - pack all my stuff (have yet to pack a single thing) and leaving at 2am - oK?

mattlucas 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I just takubined my ski bag to the airport It's so heavy. 3 pairs of skis and pretty much all my outdoor shit I'll probably have to empty it out at the airport just to get them to accept it But the only big thing that is extra in there that is different from any other flight I've taken is an extra pair of bindingless skis. They are light. So maybe 10kg of extra stuff. Hope it's ok Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 did you check your wieght? if it doesnt go takubin it back to me and ill get it on the plane with my mom and dad later. figure 20 to 40 bucks to ship from canada plus takubin fee. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 It'll go With just skis/poles in the bag it'll weigh the same as when I came out from Canada this Christmas with your spats and my explosives. They didn't even question the weight then I'm going to have a pretty much empty backpack that I can unload everything that doesn't have to be in the skibag into the backpack. But if it comes to that thanks and I'll send stuff back to you Link to post Share on other sites
