    Scott, is that enough snow that it will be worth going and jumping?

    Subject to Change

    TGR has finished the edit. I know they have finished copies, but I do not know when they are shipping them. Should be soon.

    Snowskates

    Almost all snowboard shops should have the snowdeck. There is a new one called the Link that has a shorter subdeck - miniski - so you can do tail slides, blunts, etc. Any Burton demo should have them. The company that owns Premiere is Yoshida Sauces - they don't just make soy sauce, but all...

    Snowskates

    Burton, yeah they are a corporation, owned solely by Jake Burton, who spends large amounts of money making all snow sports better. Premiere, well I hate to break it to you, but they are owned by a Japanese soy sauce company who also owns M3 and some other companies. You tell me who is corporate...

    Snowskates

    The Burton snowdecks, with the mini-ski, are a hundred times better than the premiere skates. You can actually ollie and kick-flip the Burton things. And, you can ride them like a skateboard. Top to bottom, lift accessed. I have been thinking about quitting skiing and starting up...

    no skiing until january!

    Photography and masturbation - at the same time - earned Robert Mapelthorpe wuite some acclaim. I have not tried, however. Get yourself a light meter. Get some slide film - Fuji or Kodak. Get a loupe - a little doo-dad that lets you look closely to see if the slide is sharp or out-of-focus...

    I shredded the gnar...

    Just so you all know and can be jealous - I rode the lift and skied this morning at Copper Mountain. 10 AM 3rd chair up in North America - the snow was super good and fun. By noon it got pretty crowded. Oh yeah, we got them to put up a rail for us yesterday, but the lifts opened this morning...

    Sick 1260 - we will definitely be at BS. Probably second week in December.

    Mt. Hood camp

    So, there seems to be a sentiment (which I agree with) that Mt. Hood / Timberline has better jumps / on hill scene during the summer. The problem is that the big freestyle / jib / not bump skiing camps are snowboard focused or snowboard only and the town is boring. So, a question - what if there...

    Freeze... NOVEMBER issue

    About the picture of the girls...that is actually Jamie Meyer - who is incidentally the REAL winner of the Freeskiing Open Slopestyle despite what the magazine says. Seems like they could have gotten that right.

    COLD FUSSION movie

    The Copper segment - with Vallone, Tuffelmire, Dolenc, and Otte - is okay. It certainly ain't MSP, PBP, or even TGR, but for spending one week at Copper with those guys, it is okay. The thing is Cheesy (TM) and I did not get to hear the final music, but at least they are getting some play. Oh...

    pentium ad

    I saw it, but did not catch the trick. The clothes looked like JT Holmes from Ski Movie, but I was kicked out of the bar minutes later, so I do not trust my memory completely. Drinking is bad.

    Forward flipping rodeo?

    I am definitely not sure on this one, but the way I am picturing it your throwing your right arm forward then opening up into the rodeo/flat spin motion. Maybe it is a Bio? Someone tell me I am wrong, but check out CR's trick in Powder - throws it forward, but it is definitely not a misty.

    New Freeze

    Just got my copies. Overall it kicks the other mag's collective ass, but God can't they spell - Kristi Leskinen's name - , puctuate, or have sentences that make sense? And there are a couple of bullshit photos - Rory Will, full page no-grab in the pipe even though they postage stamped shots of...

    Biggest Gap jump

    Don't know about Chad's Gap, but check out the DC poster in Snowboarder or TW Snow - Josh Dirksen doing a cork 900 over Leviathan. The sickest ski or snowboard trick I have seen in this year's mags.

    Bio Spin

    Okay, the way I get it from the athletes is this: a flat spin is as the name describes - flat on your back. If you start the same way - by opening your l or r shoulder back and to the side and also bringing your feet up and to the side - but end up a bit more inverted, it is a rodeo. If you...

    MSP premiere

    Yo - Just wanted to drop a little update for all of you. High Society should be in the mail in the next week or two, but I got to check out the world premiere down in CB over the weekend. It was a rather subdued afair for the obvious reasons and the only athletes there were Nick Mercon, Wendy...
