Shit... Mad Trix is the best ski game ever. The controls on the game are so rad. But if there were a ski game like tony hawk or palmer's to come out... my life might be completley distracted forever.
Good for Armada. The team is rock solid. Plus I just got a poster pack from them in the mail and the poster with the team on it and it's signed by Tanner, JP and Boyd. That's rad.
Just curious - anyone on here from the LA area or vicinity? If so - I'm bored as hell and no one in this God damn city skis so let's kick it.
'There has to be something better on television. Or since you have so much time on your hands, maybe you could take a night course. Become a doctor. You...
In general... Afton Alps just fucking sucks. It's the iciest hill in MN. Such bullshit. Anyone ski Trollhaugen? I used to before I moved to LA but that place is waaaaay over priced. It's like 31 bucks... 10 more bucks I could ski copper or something. Such bullshit.
Yeah I've used my armadas twice and already encountered delam probs. That and I've done a few grinds and some funky shit happened to the edges that never happened to my 1080s. My 1080's are now 5 years old and the tips popped off but rivets work wonders. They're slow because I never waxed em...
I wax mine everytime I'm done. To keep the base in the best condition. I wipe my bases off when I'm done for the day so the bases don't soak up the water and dry out faster. I love waxing skis. Oh and buy a nice waxing iron. Swix makes a kickass iron. Pricy but awesome.
I got the Look pivot jib model. I dig the lightness of it in comparison to the salomons. But I slid out of em once doing a 540... that wasn't cool. I've never had a prob with salomons cept for destroying the brakes and my skis came off when I landed a big trick switch... obvious. but i'm diggin...
Trollhaugen, Wisconsin. The place has potential but the fucking owner is a douchebag and won't build a better park. I mean, they have a fucking troll for a mascot that skis with little kids. Anyone ski Big Bear, CA? That's my new local hill for now.
I moved from MN to So. California... and I just bought new Armadas and boots and used em twice... I'd rather be injured from a ski accident than fucking stuck in this palm tree bullshit. Such damn torture...
Jump off random shit doing 3's (without skis). I'm learning unnatural 3's and I'm just jumping off of random big things. Just to get the feel of the rotation down that way. Then hit a nice lip and do till you get it... it'll come.
I love over shooting. It's fun when you sprain your both yer thumbs so it takes two hands to pick up a glass of water because your thumbs are in such pain. But I figured out how to avoid the sprained thumb phenomina. It's all in the pole straps.
