ptexed my board on one gash I had, of course it happens on the lime green part of the base, and I have black ptex. Now, it just looks dirty. I don't really care that much cause its the base, but I have OCD with trying to keep stuff looking new. Oh, and Bear Creek tomorrow, if anyone is in PA, it has a really nice park for piratically being a large hill. Its more of a family thing for me tomorrow hanging out with the uncles, but in the late hours I will venture off to get a little park riding in for myself, and hopefully pull my first clean 360!

why didnt you get some clear ptex?

Changed my stance up a bit, dropped it from 26in to 24/24.5. Debating if I should change my angles up a bit, maybe to a 12,-12 from my 15,-15 cause my calves and quads have been killing this year.

wouldn't hurt to try it out.
there are so many variables in snowboarding it's ****ing impossible to get it perfect.

MutR. · 12-28-2010, 02:21 AM

So, i decided to go for it and buy one. I made the purchase this evening, and in the "comment" box on their website when you check out, i asked that if they had a red top sheet/black base color i would like that instead of white, but if not then white is fine. Shortly after i receive an email from Benson Miller

complete with address, phone, and fax. if its not legit, im out $195.

i'm gonna try 12,-12 with 23.5/24 because my legs get tired really fast when i'm standing up straight on the board and have the binders 15,-15.

all my friends ride 15 or 12.. they find it strange that i ride 22.5,-7.5. i guess i find it strange too, but it's cuz i skate.

Nerve06 · 12-28-2010, 12:17 PM

I feel like I would have a field day with one of those blanks. I'd kick the **** out of it with no mercy, and draw all over it.

some kid damn near ran into me last night on the other side of some hill, i had taken a spill and he comes over the top about to rail me, instead he tries to jump over my legs and cuts my ****ing shin open with the edge of his board.

and i ****ing love bob ross.

ReDNeCk98 · 12-28-2010, 04:24 PM

Told my floor foreman aka my older brother I'll prolly be going next weekend so hopefully all works out and I can leave Friday after work board half a day or full day on brothers old 5150 directional and then Sunday till around 2ish on my board.

edit: Fedex updated board will be here Thursday.

thats pretty much what im gonna do. itll be my new jib board when i feel like jibbing on jagged rocks and wallriding cement walls. Also, i got my tracking number today. shipping out of North Salt Lake, UT and fedex says its already picked up. pretty quick i must say.

colors · 12-28-2010, 10:14 PM

i think i got the 153 or 54 artifact 1985, bent over babes one. i dont like the graphic, think its a dumb idea, but its a great board i got for under 300 bucks. reverse camber is whats happenin, but these soft edges really blow in ice, im pretty much guaranteed to fall over any ice patch i edge on.

Pball master · 12-29-2010, 12:05 AM

being stuck on a lift for 30 mins at night with fast winds sucks :/ but other then that good day at the mt.

yankees12 · 12-29-2010, 12:43 AM

Here about the lift cable at Sugarloaf snapping and people falling? That's ****ing crazy. I don't get how a mountain maintenance crew lets that happen, its ridiculous. Luckily, no one was serious hurt. Did a lot of park today, knee is feeling better. God, I need to man up and start hitting ollie-on features. Anything that you have to ollie-on from the side, I think about just eating **** and getting creased over the rail. ***** mode.

I <3 getting taco'd. I feel like its usually a daily occurence when I go out, and therefore I am learning.

Edit: But my ribs don't like that mentality.

after doing ''ollie on'' for so long, anything ride on just seems harder to do tricks on, other than a 5050. ride on rails are ****ing impossible lol. i dont feel like i have any control where im going to end up. additionally, ride on corrugated is super annoying as well.

once you learn the urban hits on handrails its so nice.

atthemattin · 12-29-2010, 09:12 AM

I get to go to sugarloaf this weekend. i'm kind of happy it happened, less crowds.

trey212080 · 12-29-2010, 09:52 AM

I heard that lift was supposed to be renovated after this season and the cable supposedly snapped from high winds

i can't do ride on rails, doesn't seem natural, probably because i skate?
