Kumapix 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 What do you say when you're about to drop in to a steep line/big jump/halfpipe/boardercross track etc. Me and my friends were saying 'bon voyage' before jumping off stuff last winter. Got it from last winter's mikey leblanc video burning bridges. It's too funny on the video when you can hear the radio going 'shhhhhh drop in shhhhh bon voyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage' However I just saw the movie Showtime (deniro and eddie murphy) so I think next winter I'll be saying 'it's Showtime!' What do you guys say??? Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I hit myself in the helmet with my pole grips to make sure it's sitting in the right place So maybe a thunk thunk I usually say "alright. I'm going" and there isn't exclamation marks there. I say it real casual Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 But I've also been known to say "yah dude" "Let's get this ****er over with" "Let's get off this ****in mountain" "(Insert partner's name here) I hate you" "Why do I have to go first?" and my personal favorite "yaiyaiyaiyaiyaiyaiyaiyaiyaiyaia!!!!!!!!"

marnix 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 My favorite is: Ooooohhhhh, help I'm going, can't stop (when you lost the toss for first tracks and go first anyway). Only do this with good friends on a good day. Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 powwwers... do you WOOOO! to 1. gee yourself up, 2. to have fun, or, 3. to scare your competitors? I bet its to have fun As for me, I say 'ikimashyo!' or, if I am feeling like it is a moment requiring some seriousness, I repeat a little 'steeps technique' mantra. It is a bit over the top and totally very wanky, but I say (quietly) out loud to myself a mixture like: "lead over the nose, on the front foot, relaxed body, lead with the shoulder, bendy legs, body over the board, no jump-turns, win". I usually give myself a little silent technique lecture in my head just before I drop in. I enjoy taking it 'too seriously' at times. Link to post Share on other sites

powwwers 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 hey deebs you`re right- just for fun!! the first time i encountered it though was by another competitor. as we aproached the first hit, he lit rip with somthin, scared tha be-jesus outta me. when i do it now i find it relaxes me and takes me mind off tha race sos i can enjoy it. don`t usually say anythin before i drop a line though but usually let out a yelp when i pull up.
