Great post. :aok
I don't have the gusto to take a double diamond ski slope let alone ski/board down a near vertical mountain side. I'll take the green trials, thanks. :)

I don't get much chance to go to mountains but when I do i love the feeling of freedom from gravity. Those guys are free from gravity and more importantly, fear.
-
Unfortunately, by time I became technically good enough to contemplate that kind of stuff, I'd also become old enough to have a healthy awareness of my own mortality. Still, you can do some pretty amazing back-country stuff at slightly less extreme angles.

The core strength, muscle memory, reflexes, and pure strength, of those guys is AMAZING :rock Makes me wish I was about 30 years younger.

there was some step and deeps but alot was camera play too!

nice, what mountain is that?
also, my home mountain is Northstar At Tahoe, but in the last 5 years prices skyrocketed and it's gone the way of super resort. Probably going to get passes to somewhere different this year. Also this will be my 10th year snowboarding and going to start it on a brand new deck. Going to be awesome.
-
nicee, ide been jumpin down steep mountains too if my name was wolfgang, but i guess with a name like that u cant just be a bank teller
-
always wanted to do a heli drop run on some untouched face. unfortunately i prefer either the parks or moguls, where i can just whip my tail around for deep turns

Not sure which Mountain.....He had to hike it so you know it must be worth it.
I went to Northstar one day....free everything besides food for active military, great place. about 3 of the 5 days I was at Sierra, my bro lives like 20 minutes from there and he hates heavenly sooo :D

Dude, you're going to love that new deck. Last january I went to Tignes on a brand new Ride Prophet...

in action on our little kicker at home

New boards are so sweet to ride, straight line like a rocket without a wiggle. I'm old school, i ain't ever riding one of the new 'banana tech' shape boards if I can help it.

Bat,
For riding that deep powder you want a reverse camber board. I tried my Ride DH in it for a bit but its nose sank in way too easily. Then my bro hooked me up with a demo from the shop he works at and I was surfing that snow :rock
-
whats it like on flat? I like my old style board for the park which is where I spend most time.
Wish I had A) the mountains and B) the heli drop to get that deep untouched pow at the summit

Definately not the best type of board for park riding, but makes pow riding alot better. powder riding is a work out for sure.

Thanks for the tip junky. In a dream world I would keep an arsenal of dif boards for differnt riding and have the mountain as my home. Even then I would probably never get good enough to ride those powder lines so smooth as the video. But being a lowly peasant I only get one board and lots of concrete, 95% of the challenge is getting to some snow. :D

nice little kicker you had there, im sorta suprised you got that height off of it, lol.
also, for the guys who are familiar with camber/anticamber, what shape would probably be best for Boarder-X? This year I might join into this amature league.
-
I learnt to ollie pretty high and at speed on a skateboard when I was a kid, translates really well when you get rid of the wheels and add a springboard onto the tail :D
I don't know enough about the newer board designs really, but for boarderX you wont want a deck designed for deep powder although I have never ridden a new style deck. :headscratch:
I'm not a very good snowboarder, I just really enjoy it and am at a good level to stay alive at.
-
ah, how many years you at?
-
I don't get to go every year but about 9 years since I first rode on snow, nearly 20 years since i got on a skateboard.
how about you?
