What is about the way one "looks" that has permeated the mountains? I have always thought that riding the slopes was about reaching the feel of freedom which is so bound down by the forces of nature's gravity, and the design of the human body. Snowboarding allows one to move in a way never thought possible before, and skiing has provided the sensation of traveling at astonishing speeds without the aid of unnatural propulsion. But the mountains are plagued with too many poseurs with "cool" clothing and gear, and far too much unnecessary attitude. Oh well, these are the days of our time.

I thought it was all about learning that ice is hard and how not to break your legs.

what i'm saying is that i get the same sensation, and there is nothing in the world like it, but i do that while looking good. i'm am not one of those people that sped months shopping for next seasons apparel then falls on their asses when they hit the slopes, i'm good at boarding, but me and my friends just chuckle when we see that old skiier chick with the matching spandex ski bunny outfit. but i have seen some cool looking skiers too, so maybe the skiers are the superficial ones, eh!

Spandex is aerodynamic! Ha ha, I guess attitude differs from person to person.

Once again, pardon me for getting off topic with the above posts. There is one thing about AF that keeps me coming back for more. Note that in the descriptions of other sites in SCC's Webside column (where AF is featured), Marc Strengel states how "content is somewhat lacking" and "in terms of content, it's not exactly stretching the seams". Of course, with the natural layout of AF, material is not an issue and that ends up being beneficial for the users. With so much to talk about, I can never get bored of this place. I'm sorry to say that I cannot help but look with anything more than pity upon the 'other' various sites out there, designed to worship the same old cars, over and over again. I'm glad that my new home covers so many different aspects of the automotive empire, reminding people to stay open-minded about technology and different ideals.

hey snowboarder what's your set up? what can you do?

I got an M3 151 board, Burton CFX bindings and DC premier boots

i hate step-ins, i'll probably never stop using strap bindings, they're old fashioned but i think they feel way better

I'm a pretty good boarder.... i can pull cork 540s, and i've been playin around with inverted tricks lately (when there was snow), i can say it fuckin killlllls landing on your head!! but i can land backflips pretty easily now

But best place i've been snowboarding is Whistler/Blackcomb, it's so good, any break in the trees you just go there and fresh POW! easy ta find, plus the cliffs and stuff, oh man it's heaven

i've got a limited 157, 5150 bindings, and the 2000 forum JP walkers, i do spins(360's and such) and my friend is going to teach me how to do 720 rodeos this season, also we are going to the new forum movie premier in september or something, i'll also see if i can post some of our boarding movies somewhere.

[gang$tarr]

man that's sooo sick!! You're lucky you got good places to board around you, all i got is a shitty as hill they call Chicopee Ski Club..... The park is basically 2 shithole tabletops, 1 rail.......... and they're adding a pipe this year, cheap ass shit.. but some of my friends are really fuckin good I'll try to post up some videos of us snowboardin...... do you know where i could go to post a big video?

I don't know but I board too. I have a 2000 Burton Floater with Burton Moto SI Boots and SI Step ins. You're right about step-ins Gan$tarr there too damn hard to work when thier frozen and they constantly "Readjust" themselves and I won't even get into what happens when snow gets in the boots. I am still not great but I am trying more next year, It will be my 3rd year and now that I have a friend to go with ,I'll be doing inverted tricks ( I can't spin well but I can do a 360) and I like the parks, there a good selection of hills around here and in Quebec (About 9-11 Hills) so I get out a fair bit. Any advice on new bindings or how to do inverted tricks? I don't know many really good people.

[gang$tarr]

just keep practicing man! and you can't be scared of anything, that holds you back alot

One of my friends has like a Condo/Chalet whatever you wanna call it right on the mountain on Mont Tremblant, he said you can board right into it, and it's pretty big. We're drivin up there this christmas break, no parents...... we're gunna be boardin till 4, than chicks and MANY MANY illegal activities eheheh it's gunna be sweet..... we're both 16, and we're plannin on bringin up atleast 4 24s of beer, plus his mom's lettin us take her Acura MDX

it's gunna be the best

Sounds great, I've been to Tremblant before. It's a good hill. I was there in the summer though, I'm betting it's bigger in the winter. I might go this year.
