Calgary Masters

[MJB]

An social opportunity to get better, meet other hardbooters and so on. Hope this will work out.

Calgary local hardbooters (and wannabe hardbooters) that are over 30 years old.

-Monday nights at COP 7-9.

Any other plans will be made while drinking beer :)

It's to get better at hardbooting, get some coaching and run some gates.

Drop me a line to get involved!

[big canuck]

Hey Mark, I'm pretty sure I met you today at COP with Ryan. I'm looking forward to hanging out with yous guys.

Hope Chad H, Stu B and Rob S can make it too!!! I'll get in contact with those guys to see if they're keen (Rob hopefully you're seeing this!!)

PS I hope you're patient and medically certified. Talk with you soon.

Kurt

[waypastfast]

yep count me in too!! Looking forward to this!

[Rob Stevens]

This Monday I'll be in Revy with the bindings off.

Next Monday, I'll get Stu and we'll hook up at COP. I hope they close a run for us...

[MJB]

Hey, this looks good. There are 4 masters interested so far... And maybe Stu and Rob? cool. We will start January 7th. (I am in Europe up till then at races with the high performance team). We have training space reserved for those times at COP.

[Allee]

I'd like to try my hand at running some gates, without getting right into the whole scene ... and I can handle the odd beer ...

[MJB]

Allee - I think thats what most have expressed - get better at hardbooting, try some gates. Its a real social and skill improvement opportunity more than anything. :biggthump and to get carvers together a bit more.

[bartron]

I may be moving out of AB for work by then. If not, then I'll definitely be there.

We had similar evenings in Quebec, run by the coach of the Quebec racing team. Great stuff.


'later...

[old knees]

I think I still remember how. I just wanna watch Stevens scare the crap out of himself.

[big canuck]

with Chad H, he says he'd be keen but probbly won't make it every Monday.
Jeff Collins is in and my bud Bruce is stoked. Up the # by 3.

Mark, is COP giving you a good deal on the lane? What sort of dough are you lookin for from attendees?

I emailed SRECSKY through his profile to see if he'd be interested and maybe he can get in contact with the group that attended NES.

It'll be wild seeing more than 2 HB guys on the hill.

[Riceball]

Thanks for he email Kurt! I never visit this section of the forum.

I typically have hockey or soccer on Monday evenings, but will ditch either for a least a few sessions. I'm not a racer, just a carving enthusiast.

Please send me the details.

Thanks,
Steve Recsky

[big canuck]

you Steve, I have no racing ambitions and expressed that to Mark. He seemed pretty OK with that. It should be fun, I'm just looking to improve, I can make it down most hills OK but I know I could be WAY better. Talk with you soon.

Kurt

[Riceball]

Anything happening this coming Monday, December 10th? I sent an email to MJB requesting details but haven't heard anything back.

Thanks,
Steve

[waypastfast]

I do believe MJB is outta town for a bit.....don't quote me on this but he mentioned starting this program in the new year when he gets back. But on that note i would still be up for going out and carving some turns on monday night anyway if anyone else was interested.....

[big canuck]

Europe till the first week of Jan. That's when things "officially" commense as I understand it. I'm going to try and be up there for Monday night though. My buddy Jeff is likely to be there and a couple others?

kurt

[Rob Stevens]

Stu and I are in.

[big canuck]

Stu's sticks

[Riceball]

Okay, I'm in for this Monday night for a rip. I'll also be at Nakiska on Sunday for their opening weekend.

Steve

[waypastfast]

so what time is good for everyone to meet?

[big canuck]

Is when I should be there. Red jacket, black Uvex helmet, probably crashing.

k

[Riceball]

What is the $300 fee for? Is this more than just a social gathering of carvers?

Steve

[waypastfast]

The snow at COP tonight was awesome......i can't believe i am saying that about COP but it truly was! It was good meeting srecsky aka steve and his son. Both great carvers. I look forward to making some more turns soon!

[Riceball]

Brad and I had a great time laying down some sweet carves with Ryan tonight. We scared the begeebers out of some of the newbies sitting in the middle of the runs.

Where was everyone else???

Oh well, next time...

Steve

[big canuck]

good snow at cop? sorry guys, life got in the way of last night. Every intention to be there next Monday.

k

[big canuck]

tonight at about 6, for real.

[Riceball]

I will most likely not be there. But I'm going to try...

Steve

[Allee]

Me neither. I am suffering from serious budgetary shortages :-) and need to stay home and out of trouble...

[big canuck]

good though!! :eplus2:

[Allee]

Ain't that the truth!!

Na, my friend's new BF has a place not far from Fernie, and I'm trying to justify spending this weekend with them and going to Kimberley .... being broke bites, it severely restricts my options!

[waypastfast]

i too won't be able to make it..... :mad:

[big canuck]

the 3 of us tonight, Jeff, Bruce and myself and another guy in an orange Uvex helmet out tonight. Decent conditions, awsome to see other guys riding.

If you are the guy with the orange helmet and are reading this, sorry the paths didn't cross. (The lounge has some sort of force field the prevents you from leaving...) Let's hook it up! Heading to Nakiska tomorrow.

We met a gal out there (Heather I think???) who, I think, aluded she might join us on some Mondays? Hope so.

Kurt

[MJB]

Masters team is starting on Monday night. See you on the east side of the daylodge - near the triangle room. If you need a lift ticket - COP will give 30% of tickets, after I give them the names that night (and each monday).

a belated merry ho-ho and new year to everyone.

Mark

[Riceball]

Anyone up for a session tonight? I might be convinced to spend $30 if a few others are going for a rip...

Steve

[Allee]

I've never ridden at COP. Could be a blast. I might drag my tweaked knee and bruises out if anyone else if going ...

[big canuck]

Bruce, my bud Jeff and myself are going to be there for about 6:30. I think Ryan said he was going uot too. Jeff, the guy we met at Nakiska is coming to look at my Oxygen also. Could be a good turn out.

Kurt

[big canuck]

Alison, Bruce, Ryan, Jeff and myself. Great conditions and a couple of laughs. Thanks you guys.

KC

[Riceball]

Damn, work got in the way tonight (I'm on-call right now and still working on an issue) - I hope to hook up with everyone at Nakiska on the 13th...

Steve

[Rob Stevens]

Monday the 28th?

I'm in Mexico until then.

[Allee]

I know Kurt is away, Steve has hockey. Is anyone else going to be on deck? Do we still have the meeting arranged?

I can be there, but I don't plan on riding tonight.

[MJB]

I will be there tonight to see who shows up. Looks like some had a fun day at Nakiska yesterday? If you can make it to ride with the team - awesome, if not - see you soon.

Mark

[waypastfast]

what time is everyone meeting and where?

[Allee]

Ryan and I were out last night - he rode, I didn't.

Talking to Mark it seems as if Monday nights are going to be run as an informal "drop in and ride" with some gates set up. Hopefully we can make up some numbers next week.

Maybe it will snow on COP this week. It was sounding a little crunchy last night :-)

[MJB]

If you are interested in the Calgary Masters Snowboard Team, please join our facebook group (Calgary Masters Snowboard Team). This will be a good place to discuss and get information. Next Monday night, we will have gates and wireless timing set up to have some fun with.

[waypastfast]

As posted by Freddy on facebook......

Hello Everyone

Tomorrow's weather is looking good, and the snow sweet. Since Mark will be away in Park city I will be setting a course for all of us. I will be there at about 6pm to set, so we can rock the whole 2 hours starting at 7pm.
Hope to see lots of guys out tomorrow, After we can hit up the Bar 1 To have a beer,and a coke for me since its my Bday HEHE.....

Hope to see everyone out!!

[jeffch]

hey guys - don't get back to Calgary too often, but next time I'll definitely be in for some runs!

- JC

[Allee]

And which should I bring? The Coiler, or my ice skates?

[MJB]

Monday March 10th is the next Calgary Masters gate session (at COP). We will skip next week, as I am away at the Stoneham world cup. We are there from 7-9 that night. THIS IS THE LAST REGULAR SESSION OF THE WINTER ! So if you meant to make it but havent yet , make sure you are there for this evening.

You have to RSVP to attend though.

happy hardbooting till then!

Mark

[Allee]

It's on my calendar, looking forward to it. Running out of season fast!

[MJB]

Game on. See you there tonight.

[Allee]

14 deg celsius today - don't know whether to being my snowboard or my swimsuit :rolleyes:

Hopefully some of the guys will turn up as well (hint hint) ... come on, last night of the season, beer's gotta be good even if the snow isn't ...

[MJB]

Just want to thank all who came out this season to Monday nights. I really enjoyed it, and am interested in making this happen again next season.

[MJB]

Hey you guys,

Team CSC is stoked to announce that we have 2 dedicated alpine coaches lined up for Monday nights at COP gate training for Masters and those interested in trying gates. There is a small price, as there was last time. Hope to see you out there this season!

[Flywalker]

Wow..... l had a crack at this back in the winter of '93-'94. Never became very good at gates but it sure was fun. Rob was a demon though... and quite the sight in his exo-skeleton body armor!

lf l can get my hands on a good board l'd like to have another go over the Christmas holidays if possible (^_^) My Sims CON has zero camber left and isn't really a gate machine anyway.

[MJB]

flyguy; We dont run the program during the holidays. But feel free to sign up for our regular monday night masters of snow sessions that run the rest of the season.
