    How to wash yoga mats?

    Yeah, I know this site has nothing to do with yoga whatsoever (except that yoga will help your skiing), and I know that the haters are indeed going to hate on this thread, but I'll be damned if I'm going to go find and join a yoga message board when I only do it once a week, so I'll just ask you...

    Fat-ypus I-Rock sizing question

    What's up errrrybody? Today I got the chance to ski on a pair of next year's Fat-ypus I-Rocks at 186 cm. For reference, I am about 5' 9 1/2" and weigh around 137 lbs. First off, let me just say that they were AWESOME. Hats off to Fat-ypus. My dad also skied the L-Toro in the morning and...

    I'M AN IDIOT

    So I haven't been on NS in a while. Been caught up with life, no time, blah blah blah. So a few days ago, I get a text from my sister's boyfriend, who lives out in Boulder, saying something along the lines of "I don't get how Bobby is smiling after that run." And it hits me. OH FUCK.I'M...

    Stratton Mountain Mayhem!

    Anyone competing in this? I sure as hell am; I don't have a chance at winning, but the US Open rail jam set up was so much god damn fun that I can't pass this up. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=116815084998518&ref=ts

    Flat 3 help?

    I posted this in the Trick Tip Forum and got nothing, so I'm posting it here. Basically, I don't understand flat 3s at all, even though on the trampoline I can easily throw every flatspin from a 5 to a 9, and flat 5 and 7 japan are two of my favorite, most solid tricks. I want to learn flat 3s...

    Trampoline dub cork help!

    I'm trying to learn a double cork 10 on the trampoline, but I keep landing 990 on my left side (I spin left). I know that I'm spinning cork 5 to switch cork something, because I can feel myself go over my right shoulder halfway through the trick, which is how it should be. But landing 990 on...

    How to build a box with coping?

    I want to build a box for my setup this spring/summer, but I want to go the whole 9 yards if possible, with an HDPE top instead of a bunch of little PVC pipes. But I'm wondering; how do you install the metal piping to the sides of the box that is so common on professionally built boxes like the...

    Does anyone know how to move a setup?

    For this spring, I'm going to try to move my setup so that it's facing a little hill that I have; that way, I can land on the hill when I'm just hitting the flat shotgun rail I have, or I can put a down box on the hill to make a flat-down setup. The question is, how do I move this mammoth creation?

    Fuck Geese

    At my house in Vermont, we have a bit of a goose infestation. It's been going on since we got the house about five years ago. There is a pond out front (not our pond so much as the town's pond, but it is in our front yard) and scores of geese hang out around it; swimming on it, walking around...

    BEST DAY OF THE SEASON

    So after lapping the park for the entire afternoon, trying to get my 5s down, I kept falling, falling, and falling, scraped my elbow, got slush up my back so I couldn't feel it, and finally, at 4:05 (the lifts closed at 4), landed it and skied away, fist in the air. THEN a kid asked me how to...

    Good ski areas near Rhode Island?

    It being (just about) April of my Junior year, I have started looking at colleges. My absolute, heart-set-on-it favorite (though I'm fully prepared to be rejected) is Brown University. Now, I'm not going to talk about my academics or anything like that, this thread is not about whether or not...

    Camp decisions...

    I have recently been deciding which camp to try and go to this summer. I went to Momentum last year, and I loved it, so I was trying to choose between Momentum and CoC, but was pretty sure that I was going to Momentum. But now, after reading the following...

    What the EFF is up with image embedding?

    So I try and post a picture on a thread, and instead of an image, I get the following: (If that becomes an image, I'll look retarded)I haven't changed a thing in the way I post images, so what the eff is going on? Albert Einstein once said that the definition of madness is doing the same thing...

    Stratton Sun Bowl Closing?

    Yes, I know this thread belongs in regionals, but nobody will look at it if I put it there. I heard some news that this weekend is the last weekend for Stratton Mountain's Sun Bowl, and that they'll be closing it after that, does anybody know if this is true?

    "Classical"/Romantic music suggestions?

    I'm wondering if anyone on here has any good suggestions of composers/works for me to look up. I'm a big fan of Romanticism and Impressionism, especially Debussy and Holst. Tchaikovsky is up there too. Any good ones for me to look up, anyone? Oh, and as far as modern composers go, I fucking...

    SPK power strap removal?

    I just got my new Booster straps in the mail, and am trying to install them, but I can't get my old power strap off my SPK Kaos's. They weren't screwed or bolted in; they seem to just have been riveted into place. How do I get these fuckers off?
