    Age restrictions on energy drinks?

    So, I'm sure a lot of you will totally disagree with me, but after just watching "Family Vacation 3" and seeing that kid shotgun a Red Bull... shit man. Up until this whole "energy drink" craze, I don't ever remember seeing kids drink coffee. In fact, most parents wouldn't let their kids...

    Winter Carnival (Rossland) and Jr. Freeski Comp (WW)

    I'll start by telling everyone to clear your calender for Jan 27-29th. So, every year I put up a thread a few weeks before Winter Carnival here in Rossland to remind everyone in the area about "The Game" Rail Jam that goes down every year. For those that are in the know - GET STOKED, and for...

    Can aerials and moguls co exist with pipe and slope?

    So I was out for dinner this evening, and a mogul comp was on the TV. I never really though about it before that point, but now it's on my mind. With the inclusion of slopestyle and pipe in the Olympics, are the days of mogul skiing (and aerials) numbered? I honestly can't see mogul skiing...

    What is a "freeskier"?

    I created this thread in response to the other thread going around SG right now called "Oldest Freeskier". You see, the OP in that thread seams to think that a "freeskier" is another way of saying park skier... even insulted my intelligence over the matter. The problem lies in the reality...

    An odd thought about spins

    why is it shunned upon by the NS community for big spins with no style off of jumps... but as soon as said pencil spin is off a rail it's accepted, if not encouraged? what makes a pencil 450 or 630 cool yet a pencil 1080 not?
