AK 77 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 That's right. I retired. But I'm coming out (pink socks! hurrah) of retirement this evening. We'll see if I continue to snowboard, or take up professional knitting.... Link to post Share on other sites

eskimobasecamp 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 do you have a spare flyer for me? somehow i don't think i'll be passing alpen on the way from hakuba to yanaba. Link to post Share on other sites

eskimobasecamp 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 AK hitting a rail at Yanaba tonite. We had a good crew out.... FT, AK, EBC, Hugh, Roger, Yannik, Simon, Ryan and a few others..... Link to post Share on other sites
AK 77 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Nice phone camera timing! I knew there was a reason I got a white jacket! (the skinny jeans are invisible though - too skinny to see!) That was a fun evening - seeing the Quebec boys styling out of the pipe, or dad (FT) shouting 'rail jam, rail jam' and leading the session on the rails (and leading EBC into an amusing fall on the taller box - it looked like a chicken wishbone getting pulled!) all gave me some stoke.

AK 77 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yes, I'm out of retirement. For now. But maybe i'll retire my 'snowboard specific' clothes - jeans was fun. No hiding wack style under XXL pants! EBC - you really should have just hiked back up and hit the box again - that way it's much less scary the next time, and finish learning what you started, and if you're sore already there's nothing to lose (apart from that guy that was carted off to hospital in an ambulance)! I want to go back again this week.... hmmm maybe you were right about the nighta season pass... then again i would have to go 12 times to pay that off... been 3 times already... unless i start going more than once a week there isn't going to be any snow at yanaba in 9 weeks time! 1700 yen with a flyer (7 quid at current exchange rate!) is cheap enough for 3 and half hours riding with small jumps, hip, small pipe, nice rail and 3 boxes, and a nice relaxed atmosphere. If i lived closer... it would be season pass and 3 times a week. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I wish that there were a few more rails around that burton rail was nice. ebc even blamed me for her box crash after telling me that nobody was helping her. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 hey boys calm down - i landed on my injured/scar tissued/messed up leg - it hurt like hell, i couldn't move for a bit, the last thing i was going to do was hike back up and ride it again. sorry but getting injured hitting rails and boxes is NOT AT ALL worth missing the rest of the season, i'll stick to kickers, pipes and spines until spring comes... and continue hitting the boxes straight until it feels TOO good. and i'm not too into your theory about it being sore already and having nothing to lose... i can't walk properly today, i wouldn't have done myself any favours by falling off it again. and yes FT it was all YOUR fault lol Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 ps smelly... i might get a nighta season pass and go twice a week, think the season passes for girls are cheaper too. fack it let's do it! Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 once a week maybe twice forget it. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 well some of us have NO responsibilies... apart from to forfeit ONE gym day to go twice a week, but i'm up for it. AK? Link to post Share on other sites
