Explain your avatar

[Ghostrider]

There are some interesting Avatars...
some look like they have stories...some just plain look scary...some look pretty funny..
do share..

[Jamie]

Me. :D

[Ghostrider]

wow...I knew somebody would say that..but I never would have guessed the first reply...

How about this...if its you, where were you, or what race? something like that...explain the picture.

[mirror70]

I'm an alcoholic.

[kjl]

Robots are sweet, and by sweet, I mean totally awesome.

[Web Info]

Well, I'm a geek and I just spend my time online. I have no life. I have 10 computers.

[bschurman]

That is all there is to my avatar.

[Tommy D]

Me freecarving at the 'Bush. Enjoying the crap out of the first day of a week's vacation! :D

[Neil Gendzwill]

Puppet Angel with a sword (kendo is my other passion).

[knoch]

When someone decides to take a picture of me carving when i'm NOT looking like an idiot, i'll throw one of me up there, but until then, i'll continue my search for a sketch of a hotdog on a snowboard.

[Derf]

Me in 98 or 99 at Mont-Blanc (the one in the province of Québec, not the one in France) with two friends (skiers).

Derf

[Jamie]

Taken at Ski Martock last season in a race that may or may not have been the end of the season provincials dealey.

[Ghostrider]

Taken at Sugarloaf during the 2004 USCSA national PGS championships. I had a dislocated shoulder in that picture, but raced through the elimination rounds anyway before getting it fixed (it wasnt the best time for a 'board off the ground carve' photo op). I gimped my way into 8th place and my team went on to get 2nd.

[Tim Tuthill]

It's me at Mammoth California, March of 2003. It was a fantastic day! So bright and the snow was the best! The guy that took the pic was one of the guys that take pics at the top of the lifts. He was on his way in for the day and took some action pics on his way down. Said he thought he got some good ones??Tim

[bobdea]

He died last summer he was the best dog ever
though he was scared of everything like mice and frogs
pretty funny to watch a dog that weighs 140 lbs and when stands on his hind legs looks eye to eye with me(I am 6 ft) run away yelping from a frog

he was a good dog:D

[Fleaman]

I like Cookies! and besides, the Cookie Monster is cool!. I would like to have something else, but I don't really have time to size one up.

Owned...I got 7th, only after the ghost tried to trip me though, i had to lay myself down in order to miss trampling his gimpy shoulder. There was maybe 8 feet between those coarses for the first 10 gates.

I'll switch the picture to one from regionals if you like..then we'll see who own's who...;)

I like to put on a good show for the crowd...

[knoch]

It doesn't matter man, i was never more than 2 places behind you the whole season, same goes for you. We'll just see what happens next yeah, that is if i can ever afford a new board now that mine is garbage material. I think we should start making reservations for nationals now, so they're dirt cheap.

[ncermak]

me...the morning after a bender.

Heh, Back to the Future is one of my top-ten all time faves. I once had the extreme good fortune to be able to interview Crispin Glover (George McFly) at my college radio station (WUNH) when he was on a book tour. I was sad to learn that he didn't like that movie or being in it. He's quite an eccentric. Also you wouldn't have guessed from the movie, but he's a pretty big guy, about 6'1" I think. Definitely not a wimp.

Oh, my avatar is me at the ECES at Sugarloaf. Taken by Steve Prue.

[cmc]

"piss off"

[Mike T]

Me @ Mt Hood May Carve Fest.

[gawdzira]

That is me in the front from my ice dancing days before the operation.


Go ahead, bring it Marilyn Cambers...

[skategoat]

Crispin Glover is one hell of an actor. Rent "River's Edge" to see him at his best. Too bad he has to lower himself to tripe like "Charlie's Angels" and "Back to the Future", but hey, we all have to make a living.

[Marilyn Cambers]

Go ahead, bring it Marilyn Cambers...

Gawdzira: I like your avatar, but that is because of the position ... quite exhilarating, especially with no hands :p

My avatar is simply a vintage shot of the very sexy insatiable Marilyn Chambers ... but if you are wanting to know the woman behind the avatar and reason for the name, well, only a chosen few are privy!


before the operation Are you a man now? :eek:

Anonymously,

Marilyn ;)
ps I really dig alot of the names and avatars on this site!!

[Mark Brown]

Tux, the Linux mascot -- lame technoid humor...

So, is it winter yet?

[patmoore]

Telluride last February. The mountain photographer took the shot and as I recall it wasn't cheap to purchase.

The form needs some work but as the child bride reminds me it's not bad for someone approaching Social Security.

[utahcarver]

Though I change my avatar at will from time to time, this latest one depicts my need to beat my knees into slavish submission. It's not enough that I stand on concrete floors for a living, then I turn around and spend the evenings pounding my legs at the local skatepark.

And, the pleasurable vanity of showing that an old fat guy (think: a bowling ball on two toothpicks for legs), like muhself, can ride on more than one medium.

[Shred Gruumer]

Ja,, Because its disturbing! Im disturbing! and its Rammstien Disturbing!

None of this ****ing PC crap, tree hugging hippie ****! The more it disturbs da better I like it!

Dats all!

Right Said Shred:mad:

[Helmut Karvlow]

I wanted to ride ( the short bus ) when I was little:D

[Bubba]

Since moving to SE Minnesota, I have seen a few people who look like this. Plus it made me laugh when I saw it. Marilyn...feel free to rip me again!

[Marilyn Cambers]

Poor baby ... everyone has their own unique look, yours is just ahhhhh ....... well, extremely unique! :cool:

It is almost as disturbing as Shed's!

Marilyn ;)

[Aisling]

i felt left out.
so i got me an avatar.
i like pin-up style pics. modelling for some next month. wee!

[FTA2R]

definitely some interesting ones on BOL.


I find Neil Gendzwill's "psycho puppet" disturbingly funny. I think i thought that was a real person at first, then i wasn't sure what the hell it was.

McFly, hahaha, I like. great movie. We need a Biff now.

Marilyn Cambers, what/ who the heck is that? totally confused, but intrigued (sorry).

my av is just a (very cropped) head shot of me from 'bout 3 years ago. (i wear a helmet now)

Disturbingly funny often applied to the Angel series. Here's a better quality version (http://smiletime.restless-slayer.com/caps/smiletime633.jpg).

[Baka Dasai]

My avatar has changed a few times. Now that the snow's gone I couldn't stand seeing the one I had of me snowboarding, so I changed it. You are not what you buy.

The pyscho puppet has always disturbed me, partly because I was never sure whether the weird distortion was intentional or not. The original isn't nearly as disturbing.

Bizarre, I don't have any trouble (trying at home now on a different computer than when I posted the link). You could try indirectly by going to http://smiletime.restless-slayer.com and then just poking around the pictures - the one I used was #633.

Freeriding in the Niseko Backcountry after the Longboard Classic Japan in February 2003.

[jeffnstefanie]

Im not sure what is the question.

[NMU Alpine Boarder]

Mine's pretty simple. In life, I usually take the attitude "Shoot first, ask questions later", lol.

[mirror70]

I usually take the attitude of "Deny first, it's probably my fault."

[Jagger]

This one is simple Birchum rules!

[fishrising]

Me and Mr. Don King...from Madame Toussad's wax museum in Vegas...no good riding shot of me, yet...

The wax museum is really cheesy sounding, but it's pretty funny while your there...

Here is the whole shot:

Me and the "Boss:"

Yup, you guessed it...

[Marilyn Cambers]

Marilyn Cambers, what/ who the heck is that? totally confused, but intrigued (sorry).

Well, I figured the play on words was apparent for the die-hard carvers .... Camber has to do with the amount of flex in the board, or as explained to me the "hump" in the center of the board .... how appropriate! Marilyn fits with "Camber" for some ah, obvious reasons, plus it is close to my first name ... :rolleyes:

I am a novice, female, with an alpine setup, including hardboots .... I've skied one time. If I was gonna learn something, this looked like the ultimate! If you are gonna do it, do it with insatiable zeal ... hmmm, alot like Marilyn...... :D

Marilyn ;)

[ncermak]

I believe that Barry may not be aware of Ms. Marylin Chambers...A pioneer in her industry...

[FTA2R]

OK,

now i understand. I know what camber is of course but I didn't know who the porno star was. I figured she was a porno star after reading the last post, though. I'm 26 so I'm going to assume that when she was in her prime, I was quite young. (you know "JJ" is the hot one now). I googled her name but I can't view the results where I am now. The picture is her, too, or you just dressed up as her, or you dressed up as superwoman?

Mine is pretty self explanitory...Scottish Heavy Athletics. I can't compete this year due to shoulder surgery so I'm judging instead. Unfortunately, it also means I'm missing the summer carve camp (same weekend as the games even though I wouldn't be able to ride anyway).:(

Sorry for the 3 month delay......I've been off-line all summer and in hibernation....so I'm just getting caught up on some of the older happenings, threads, and posts on Bomber.

Jack--I didn't know you were a fellow UNH'er. My roommates ran MUSO and were instrumental in inviting Crispin Glover to the school. Around the same time they also had Richard Linklater give a talk and the infamous Timothy Leary made a presentation. I got to meet them both. Leary actually hung out in our apartment after his presentation and partied down like a rock star....imagine a 72 year old keeping up with a bunch of raging college guys. He was a very eccentric and intriguing individual.

Oh yeah, about my avatar....that's Michael Schumacher.....I'm addicted to Formula 1 racing and Ferraris.

[Gecko]

the very last board I ever pressed...very hard nothold onto and use even as outdated as it is

[skywalker]

just me
thought this was self-explaining :D

Wildcat class of '96, CEPS. I remember that Linklater event, but didn't go. So were you in that lame snowboarding club with me?

F1 - you mean the Michael Schumacher show?

Here's my summer avatar - The Doctor, aka Valentino Rossi
