[GreenS@murai!]

So yeah, it's winter, time to dust off them boards and skis. Time to clean those goggles and check if your boots still fit. Time to get some new jackets and gear.
Welcome, winter of 2005!

I need a new board, bindings, and boots. If anyone can suggest some stuff or show me any good packages out there on the web right now, keep me updated. If you see anything at a really good price please tell me as well. I'm ready to hit the slopes...
btw: im also lookin for sum well priced snowboard pants

share your winter memories here as well...

This is not a thread for snowboarders to trash talk skiers, vice versa...

[Tama Drummer]

I'm probably going to actually get my own skiis this years. I've just been renting stuff for the last couple of years cause of growing. But yea, I'm ready to go out. :D

[Soda]

I am Australian, we are not big on snow here, we only get snow like in the mountains. I can make it up there 1 day a year, just for a holiday. :D

[banditto]

Thats for the helpful info on skis Soda ;)

I got my own pair of skis, last years model worth 1200$ all together, got it for 200 at Sports Authority.

Try going around to your sports stores and looking for last years packages, because they are usually 50+$ off.

[*Thunder*]

Man i love snowboarding. =D

[wolf-boy]

I just moved to oklahoma from florida, Maybe I can try to learn to ski or something..should be fun :P

[Hellblazer]

My feet stopped growing. Yay! Now I can finally buy some skiis instead of renting a new size every freakin' year.:bigsmile:

Well, my dad's with ski patrol so he get's discounts like crazy. :D

NO NO NO!!!

ITS SKATEBOARD SEASON

IT WILL ALWAYS BE SKATEBOARD SEASON

This line is so it doesn't fix the caps and make them all lowercase.

[paulk6]

That's what indoor skate parks are for ;)

But snowboarding IS much better.

[dirka dirka]

But snowboarding IS much better.
You don't know how angry this makes me. Skateboarding is an art.. a religion.. a way of life. SNOWBOARDING IS BORING, NOT FUN, AND A CULTIC SPORT!!

[Tama Drummer]

Yea... I got to say skateboarding is better than snowboarding. I ski, but I can snowboard fairly well for never really practicing it I think. It's just not as fun as skateboarding. :D

Although, I don't really skate much anymore. But I can still do the good old olley. You never forget how to do that. ;)

[dirka dirka]

I snowboarded once. I used my skateboard deck to do it. It was semi-fun, until I got kicked out.

[paulk6]

Trust me, I love to skate too. I just like snowboarding better. It's easier to do tricks, and I'm just not scared of it for some reason, no matter what I'm doing. I've been skating all day today and yesterday. So shut up and read my lips: I want to make passionate love to you.

I'm not sure.. I don't know what to say.

[paulk6]

Say yes baby, you know it feels right on the inside.

[dirka dirka]

I actually had a debate with one of my teachers on if skateboarding was a true sport. It ended with me getting a weeks detention. My final argument was: "Shut the **** up, you suck, I don't wana hear it."

That was a very skillful way to handle a disagreement. You are teh Ghandi of our generation.

Now back to the topic.

Snowboarding, woot! Great sport, looking forward to hitting the slopes ASAP.

Hahaha. That's insane. Did you hear they might be making it into an olympic sport?

[dirka dirka]

For some reason... in all the debates that semantics prove me wrong, that is my final argument.
Hahaha. That's insane. Did you hear they might be making it into an olympic sport?
Yea, I soo hope they do.


Has anybody watching the X-Games snowboarding before? Thats some pimp looking stuff.

who here plays hacky sack?

its the skateboarding of little balls with even smaller balls inside of them that you kick around

[Jeffery]

Snowboarding is for babies afraid to skateboard.

Let's compare snow to concrete, and see which one hurts more.
Come on, a skate vs snow discussion will be healthy, right?

Are you kidding me? Hitting the snow at a high speed hurts like a bitch..

I do both. Both hurt. More speed in snowboarding offers more chances to tear ACLs (I have done this). Skateboarding offers you most any injury that you could think of. Both hurt.

[Jeffery]

Fine, let's compare the opportunity to do so.

Snowboarding requires a specific time of year, specific conditions, and specific locations in order to do.
Skateboarding requires any somewhat flat patch of ground, stairs, railings, benches, streets, sidewalks, parking lot, garages that are available in almost anywhere.

Hell, you can even get offroad and downhill boards, and tear up the slopes in the summer.

[dirka dirka]

I've reached 45mph on a skateboard.

I did that... I hit a god damned tree...

and thats unmotorized. I have a 49cc moterized skateboard. It doesn't go over 40mph though.

[Office_Shredder]

Jeffery.... who can afford such a pimp looking helmet like the guy with the skateboarding record is wearing? I mean... it looks way too cool to be affordable.

And he even said the helmet makes all the difference

So you can reach faster speed ona skateboard. On average, I go faster on my snowboard.

[GreenS@murai!]

I need suggestions for a new board under $350

[Jeffery]

And that's because you're one of those pussy snowboarders afraid to really skate.

You're not skateboarding right then. I reach 40mph daily on the 18ft vert.

You have no idea.

If I wanted p*ssy, I'd pull down your pants.

Did I mention anywhere to go/do something, I do neither, but I have snowboarded, and skateboarded before, and fell on both, I have to say Snowboarding hurt more..but that might be because I nailed a tree after I fell...

[20 Point]

I skate in on the streets of NYC, don't have many downhills to build up lots of speed. I'm not denying that you go fast. Just saying that, on average, I go faster when I snowboard.

Nothing can hurt more than what I've done skateboarding. Tie a rope to your belt. Tie the other end to a quad. Here is the flaw in the plan. Rocks. When the skateboard hits a rock, it does not continue moving. However, you do continue moving, because you're tied to the quad. We really should have thought that one out more. Luckily, I was wearing a full face helmet. I walked out of it with 2 broken fingers(one being shattered) and almost no skin on my arms, back, and some skin on my legs.

More like the show, "The World of Stupid." We tried recording our dumb mistakes. The thing is, we never think they are dumb, so we never recorded the ones that were actually dumb.

There is actually a plan for snowboarding this winter, it involves bottle rockets. We got the idea from the world book of records.

[Tama Drummer]

Rocks suck. Probably around 80% of the times I'd fall, it'd be because of hitting a stupid rock (more like pebble). But that's probably just cause I sucked. :D

flow bindings are the shit. They are so comfortable and nice. They are a bit more expensive than normal ones though. For board, it's just all about preference and what you are going to do with it. Get some sexy spy goggles.

[dirka dirka]

Thats one thing I don't like about snowboarding. Bindings.. it doesn't feel right.

However, I'll be taking up some snowboarding this winter, just cause its hard to skate during the winter. Snowboarding will take up some time.

Using flows are like wearing normal shoes. So beautiful. Have you tried snow skates? Those things are pimp!

[Tama Drummer]

Snow skates suck. :dry:

But the boots/shoes/whatever you want to call them on snowboards kick ass... Ski boots suck! So annoying to walk in, and even harder to find a pair that fits my stupid wide feet.

If you can feel yer feet, your boots are too big. Simple as that. I love skiing as well as snowboarding. However, I blow at snowboarding. I might as well throw myself naked down a staircase over and over. I'm a damn fine skier though.

[Glamdring]

I'm a skier, personally, though I intend to branch out this winter and strap on the board. We'll see how that goes ;)

Finding time might be an issue. School is insane.

Not to mention a certain someone who takes up a portion of your time.

But look at it this way:

A ski weekend away, a cozy cabin, a warm fire, a fur rug.............

[Tama Drummer]

I know, and that's not comfy. :D
But whatever, cause you don't notice it when you're actually skiing (usually). Atomic boots are usually pretty comfy though. I've used a pair of those for the past two years (different pairs) and they were real nice.
I'm probably going to buy Atomic all around (boots, bindings, skiis) this year cause I had all Atomic rental stuff last year and liked it, but it all depends what I can find.

Only for riding down hills. They are so fun to grind rails on though.

[Tama Drummer]

Yea, then they're ok. You can't really grind a rail in skiis. Ok, you can, but if you have nice skiis you probably wouldn't want to. ;)

I'm not really into that type of stuff though. I go off jumps and crap occasionally, but I prefer sticking to all the pretty diamonds over the rails and stuff. :D

[GreenS@murai!]

I need to get some cash to buy my gear...anyone got any good ideas where i can make a few bucks quick?

[HorNeT]

maybe you can....have a garage sell! woot!

[Tama Drummer]

Ebay old Christmas presents or something. That's what I do whenever I need money for drums or something.

Prostitution.

[meat.eater]

Do you know how many places i could find you telling people to sell themselves or drugs or something sexual/ drug related to get money?

How do you sleep at night? :p
