GO HIT SOME HERBAN

This morning, Boulder got dumped with snow for the second week in a row. My homie Spencer unfortunately got destroyed last Friday and isn't going to be able to shred rails with us for a little while. It's a fucking bummer..

This thread is dedicated to the fools who were at my house last thursday decked the fuck out in Jibberish. When I asked them about the shred, they said they hadn't been hitting any rails cause the snow was sticky, they had new skis... or some other bulshit. FUCK JIBBERISH, FUCK SAGA, FUCK FIRST DROP... GO HIT SOME MOTHAFUCKING HERBAN AND QUIT WORRYING ABOUT WHAT SETUP YOU HAVE/ WHICH MODEL OF NEXT YEARS SKIS YOU'RE RIDING.

There is absolutely no excuse not to be hitting rails when there's this much snow outside. If you can't make it up to the hill, or don't have a heli to fly you to the Kamchatka Peninsula (this is in Russia)

get down with some Fresh Baked Shred and hit some rails an jibs around your neighborhood.

For those of you who unfortunately don't have a shitton of snow outside the window in your ridiculously boring class about russian revolutions, go the ice rink, get some snow, and ski. LJ has proved that you don't need any snow to hit rails

Herban can be fucking gnarly. Spencer was unfortunately the first one to hit that close-out and it didn't go too well. I later hit the rail and it was definitely the most scary/ intimidating feature I've ever hit. There's so many opportunities for shit to go wrong. This close-out gave me a much better appreciation for all the shots in Stept movies. When there's nonstop back-to-back bangers of crazy rail features, you start to lose a sense of how ridiculous these setups are. Half the rails Cam Riley hits are features that noone else gets down on.

The real excuse for not hitting rails outside is because it's fucking scary (and perhaps dangerous). If that's the reason you're rolling around to halloween parties dressing all swaged out like a fucking skier poser, admit it to yourself and shred the new snow outside. You're going to have to take some risks but that what life's about. If you're not ready for a given jib, don't hit it and set up something more mellow. There's endless opportunities of jibs/rails everywhere so find something that you're comfortable with and work your way up to this..

If you're not getting down on the white girl covering the streets, go blow some hannah montana in the warmth of your home and k-fed some flat boxes the next time you happen to make it up to the hill.

get off newschoolers, quit photoshopping pictures of how you want your new setup to look and

GO HIT SOME MOTHAFUCKING HERBAN

Thankyou for your time
 
I have a jiberish hoody and I don't ski urban. I'm sorry bruises and scrapes don't really appeal to me when I could be in the bc touring or surfing (I love skiing just as much as the next dude). I know how g you think you are living in Colorado and shit but saying "herban" but makes you sound like a 12 year old. If you were really the bigger man you wouldn't care what other skiers (posers in this case) were "reppin" and just let your skiing speak for itself (which is pretty gnarly). Point is you seem pretty concerned and upset over what someone else is wearing when they weren't really affecting you.
 
I would just much rather get hurt in a barrel or a cliff. Don't think that's being a bitch. Priorities change when you get older, bro.
 
well when you live in a place that it never snows and doesnt have hockey rinks, nor do you have a backyard, its hard to ski at all without traveling far
 
where are you in regionals? i made an urban in boulder thread after the first snow. we gota shred some urban!
 
well without a car i cant really hit some urban... i still destroy my backyard setup everyday =)

 
Hahaha thank you for posting that LJ video. Tell your friend to get well soon! Lots more winter to come..
 
i have a very healthy respect for urban and those who are sick at it, especially gnarly shit like massive bomb drops and enormous rails and what not - i.e. the most recent stept productions. however if you look at their crash segment, warnicks knee going 100% the wrong direction on a slight fuck up on a smallish rail, the fact that everyone got hurt and the movie was like 35 mins long, all sort of deter me from hitting urban rails. i've gotten reconstructive knee surgery once and that was certainly enough. sorry i would rather lap park, carve lips and ski glades from november to march than shatter my leg in whatever manner your pal up there did on some shitty preseason urban and miss a whole season. I have no delusions of being the stept crew or b&e unlike certain people and do not plan on landing a sponsorship or a major film segment in my life. I'm sure its a great rush and mad fun to session with ur buddies but in my opinion its a serious case of "why bother?"
 
Will always appreciate people who can rock urban.

But...i'll just stick to the Herb, thank you very much. Shit hurts.
 
I've always wanted to go and check out Kamchatka. It's not high on the list though so odds are it won't happen in the near future.
