    Re: the review volkl v-pro

    Which year model are those? How long have you had them/how many days ridden? That's weird, Volkl's have reputations for being really sturdy, and my V-Pro's have seemed pretty bomb-proof. I think that is an older model than mine though, maybe the design was changed a bit?(mine are the silver...

    I just got out of jail.

    Wow I feel pretty sorry for you. You are obviously one seriously fucked up individual. I'll be surprised if you amount to much more than a homeless person, and let’s face it, it will be justice if you do. So you enjoyed jail and are proud of that? Maybe the streets will be a kinder...

    TIPS FOR THAILAND

    DON'T CROSS BORDERS WITH DRUGS!!! Can't emphasise that enough. Know a bloke or two who have ended up in Thai jails. It is so hectic and sketchy it is honestly terrifying. Also avoid some of the Southern provinces that are real unruly at the moment. Bribery is common place in Thailand, but...

    Anyone cluey with video cameras?

    Hey guys I’m just wondering if anyone can help me out with recommendations for purchasing a digital camcorder. I’ve used quite a few before but never payed them too much attention from a technical perspective. My preference wouldn’t be anything over $600US (the less the better!)...

    Candide with Rossignol

    Ummm yeah try huge cork 9 to stall to fakie in the half-pipe. Can anyone else do that? I also reckon he's got the best mute grab of any skier I've seen. Actually I think he's got the best style of any skier I've seen full stop.... Add that to the fact that he consistently pulls out tricks...

    Lack of variety in snowboarding

    I would say skiers do consistently go bigger....If you're talking big mountain.... But then that's a different story perhaps. I would never say though that snowboarding lacks variety. I love both sports, and I fail to see how one has more room for diversity than the other. I would kinda...

    Was Darwin Wrong?

    Wow, too much to respond to really. A few points while I should be studying :) To play the scientific game you need to understand the rules. You can’t prove a negative, which means that it is not up to science to disprove religion (you can‘t prove something doesn‘t exist) but it is up...

    Best twin for Aussie conditions...

    I'm figuring that while I'm overseas this winter I might pick up a new pair of park skis for next season in Oz. My V-Pro's I found were a little bit too fat and stiff for most days, so I didn't really ride em much. Well actually, that and I kept opening up rocks, and I want to save them for...

    New Elan twins

    Elan skis are sick. The M12's (666's now?) were so nice...Not twin-tip, but for an all mountain they were pretty damn quality...If you can ski...They're stiff mothers... Their powder skis are real good as well. I think it's good that they're going into twin-tips. I'd guess they will be...

    Was Darwin Wrong?

    One thing that should maybe be pointed out is that the best proof for evolution lies not in its perfections, but in its flaws. You take things like our hearts, or our knees or our spines, which are all fucking terrible from the perspective of an engineer/creator. If we were created by a god it...

    why go longer?

    If you haven't done a lot of skiing go for shorter skis. They will be considerably more comfortable. If you can ski though you should definitely go for a longer ski. Especially if you want to go off piste much! I usually encourage people to go for the longer ski if they can handle it. Your...

    What do you think of Jamie Pierres 55m drop?

    Okay he is fucking insane.... I thought the cliff in High Life was pretty big... What is the record? It's like 220ft(+) or something isn't it? I wish I could see some footage of that!

    style wars

    They should put it on television... Could get dope commentary as well. Maybe Bruce Macavaney would do it.

    Head vs. Völkl

    Really?? Yeah I had heard they were heavy because of a metal-topsheet or something? I love the V-Pro's, I'm itching to demo some Karmas this season in the US though. I was under the impression (though I have no idea where I heard it from) that the Karmas were an amalgamation of the V-Pro and...

    advices about 2005 ski boots?

    Yeah dude, you seriously want to go to a good ski shop and get fitted by someone who knows what they're doing. Buying a boot by brand rather than fit isn't a great idea. You will need one that is the right shape for your foot, and some brands/models tend to be pretty punishing on specific...

    Yearbook

    Nah that ain't a problem :) I'm kind more into big-mountain than park in a way...I dunno I like both... Sounds sweet. If it wasn't for Boothies seg I would probably consider downloading it minus the extras. But I reckon I will have to buy it to see his part. Yeah the aussie! Anyone know if...

    Yearbook

    Is it a good movie? There's been so many conflicting reports on these boards that it's been hard to establish what the movie's like. Not that you'd really believe much said by most of the people at this website. I figure I might get a straight answer from an aussie.
