yeah, normally i'd be with weazable, but I don't care about getting exposure, we already got that with the movie, and it's not new school, the shots they want are cliff drops, steeps, mountain goat shit.... the difference is that what we have looks good, and what they have is terrible. they...

ANybody who has sold video or knows something of it..... a friend and I produced a video from last season at Ripley and Mt. Bohemia (UP Michigan repreSENT), and the guy who runs Bohemia is interested in buying some of our shots. Having never sold footage before, I figured someone on here could...

back when i first learned 3s and it was still scary to do them over gaps, i threw one a little too small, landed right on the knoll without ever seeing my landing.... i felt the ground, and as my head came around, the first thing i saw was stars. my pole stuck in the ground and i jacked myself...

yeah yeah, Crowe, its all coming back....thanks alpentalik 'my style's kinda phat, reminiscent of a whale...' -Q-Tip

yeah, we all know they rule, but the real question here is what's the name of that company? someone posted a link to it on here awhile ago, the one who makes a green jacket with fur trimmed hood, i think called The Hulk, and another one was called Dime Bag....it's some small Canadian company...

1080s are absolute shit in bumps, or any kind of rough terrain. i heard they have softer tails to improve landings, but that means not enough stiffness for.....everything else. i guess the new ones might be better, but somehow i doubt it. 'my style's kinda phat, reminiscent of a whale...' -Q-Tip

exactly.....it's just different. that's the entire reason tanner or anyone else started rockin gorilla steeze. it doesn't really matter who started it, but i think it's hilarious that everyone's trying to copy it now. obviously not understanding the idea of style at all, you can't follow...

dude, if you don't know what people are talking about than you've never tried landing switch off a jump of decent size. If you had, no matter what, sooner or later you'd crash and realize that mad forces of gravity + body weight applied to a hinge that can't flex to absorb it means fast...

yeah, it is a good movie, but don't just swallow everything it says whole. Moore does a good job of presenting certain views, but you shouldn't think of it as a documentary. it doesn't maintain (or even attempt) an unbiased viewpoint. also, Moore interviews Marilyn Manson at one point, and...

V's are a sweet twin. I tried a pair of 1080s before i bought my V's and they were like noodles. if you want something with enough stiffness to ride stuff other than park, go with the V. sweet graphics too. 'my style's kinda phat, reminiscent of a whale...' -Q-Tip

dude, nxyzptlk=carl.....like it's not obvious, shit...... hm, were you the guy with the pocket rockets and a 'fro? last year was my first year at school in Ann Arbor, so i only got to ride Ripley for like 2 weeks last winter. Went through major withdrawal, the only skiing down here is at...

Anyone know a good (aka cheap) source for replacement brakes, Salomon bindings? my binding released last year on a switch landing and the brake arm got all torqued, hasn't been the same since. i tried to bend it back, but it still gets caught every once in awhile, which means if it ever...

Mt. Bohemia is the shit. Simply awesome in the truest sense of the word. It's a bit removed from civilization, but if you get to ride Bohemia on a powder day, I guarantee you it'll be the best experience you'll ever have skiing the midwest. I've been out west to the Utah resorts, Summit...

For something different, check out Ripley up in Houghton. There isn't any separate park, because really the whole mountain is a park. There are tons of natural terrain features that make nice hits, and you get a variety because of it that you won't find in any park. we can build up...

Mont Ripley opened yesterday up in houghton. one run open with a small (15 ft) kicker in the middle, a couple rails set up. yo morbumps4me, who are you? if you ride at ripley i probably know you, but you don't sound like anyone i know offhand.... 'my style's kinda phat, reminiscent of a...
