Yo Lci!!

[oldvolvosrule]

The shoulder is fine Mario but I still have the bad habit of draggin hands though. I need something to get rid of that bad technique. Go here to see bad technique photos

I think I am on page 2 or look for the goofy guy in the green jacket.

I sure hope to make it out there this year. I sincerely enjoy riding with the LCI. I was talking with my sister and she asked me the same thing. I will try my best to get there this year, maybe for the BBQ??

What was the name of that run that we hit the first thing that morning last year? It was a steeper run with the chairlift running upeither the left side or right side. I just remember that run was shattered, trashed and whatever else you want to call it after two runs of carvers riding it. Deep trenches were everywhere.

Enjoy your time at SES, say hello to everyone of the LCI for me,

It was either Roulette or Firecut

Great to get back on it for the 1st time this year. I thought I'd be REALLY rusty after being off it for at least 10 months but it seemed to come back pretty quickly.

Ink - thanks for the mini-instruction. It really helped. Being able to concentrate on just one technique modification at one time really works for me. I could really feel the board come around on the toe side.

I rode most of the rest of the day along 6 (Roulette?). I had my bike GPS in my pocket and downloaded it when I got home. It showed about 29 miles (including lift rides) and about 11,000 vertical for the day. My max speed hit almost 40 a couple of times. I quit at 1:00 and got in the car. Traffic was backed up on I-70 due to a stalled car along the inside near Bakerville. Even though the roads were dry it took an extra 30 minutes to get home.

Hope to see some of you at SES.

John, Glad to help out. Remember to try to increase the frequency of the thin slice each run/section of run.

Dan, You are riding better than the last time I saw you...well, except for the wipeout. Doh!

Mario, ROTD, just plain killin' it!

Greenleaf, Slayin' it as well.

Dang, that was a fun day with some really good riding going on. EDIGD

Oh yeah, diggin' on the new footwear. Thanks Bola!

[big mario]

from SES, one of Seans prototypes, 184 14/20m gs metal with thermo plastic urethane dampening, beefed up for a plate, or for those of us with a more manly physique than your average hardboot rider. Succinct reveiw: me likey
mario

[lowrider]

Does your prototype 184 have the UPM Plus inserts and 4x4 plus inserts for the next generation longer plates ?

[big mario]

Yes, it has both, though I will probably not run it with a plate, @ 250 lbs I would more than likely overpower it with the addition of any fancy hardware
mario

[lowrider]

At your weight you would benefit more from a plate than many others. You should try one on it. Not necessary if you only ride on perfect groom.

[big mario]

Draggin my butt up tomorrow, see you in the am

Went to a gymnastics meet today - this little dude was killin' it! He took home four medals and third overall for his age/ability.



he told me last night that he was going to be standing on the podium today

[big mario]

New mistress is a demanding one, my front leg was cramping up on the way down the hill after 3.5 hours of bliss and punishment, cannot wait to do it again. D, you were killin it on that snakeskinned beast, though I have to say Derek looked pretty damned good on your monster, especially going the "wrong way". Shelly, way to take the gauntlet the little man threw down and run with it, scrub is always an adventure and I was impressed to see you rippin on it. James, put that three on front and get ready to enter a whole new world of riding, today was the best I have seen you ride, good job! Lance and Marie, nice to meet you, congrats on you nuptiuals tomorrow, and good job on that riding. Kai, you rock little man, and you up your game every week, way to go!

I lmao when you called complaining about your leg cramping while driving.

Killa day indeed. The coila monsta is a Killer plank to ride, with a capital K, forwards or backwards.

Lance and Marie, Congratulations again. It was very nice to meet you both. Keep it up and see you the next time you come out.

Karver Kai stepped it up taking a ride up lift 4 for the first time and riding Scrub with only 2 stops. This decision to go to 4 with the big boys got Shelly to step up her game and go for it also. Later in the afternoon riding with Jeff and Teleboard Zach, Kai stated that we were going down Firecut. Zach had to step up his game since he had never been on anything that steep with the teleboard. After riding that Kai said we were going to 4 again for some more Scrub. Zach had to step up again to not look bad. Last run of the day down Mambo and Kai wanted to do it as a non-stop. He did it while Zach had binding issues and decided to get a sled ride down to stay safe. Zach, get that binder fixed and join us again. What a fabulous day.

edit:

WMG blocked the music, so I pulled the video.

I'll repost with new music later tonight

edit #2: new video posted in message #1620

[inkaholic]

KarverKai has been asking me "is my new snowboard video posted yet?". He will be so excited to see this. Heck, I'm excited. I didn't know you shot down Homerun also. Compare this to the vid I shot 365 days previous. BIG difference in his size and ability. I love the slo-mo on his heelside air.

Proud dada,
Ink

[Angie]

Ink, I love your kid

[big mario]

I officially relinquish my title and standing as chief instigator, the kid has me beat. Good job Kai!

Love the slo-mo jump Kai.
Where I ride now there's scores of little ones boarding and skiing. It's just too cool seeing them progress... Ink you have good reason to be proud.

Anyone planning on Sat or Sun this weekend?

[inkaholic]

Sounds like D.T, KarverKai and I for Sat and Sun. Bigs and Shelly for Sun. KK and I on Mon. Ice and Greenleaf will probably be around some time as well.

Out of curiosity, how busy does Loveland get on the presidents day weekend?

I'm thinking of sneaking up for a day but the thought of fighting 37 bazillion people on the slopes and I-70 doesn't really appeal to me.

They have been groomin the snot out of lovey this season so even when ALL of the lots have been full we have had room to rip, hard to say what's goin to happen with the snow movin in, maybe most will be headin to ail and their secret stashes, if you do come up, make it sunday, the kook factor seems a bit lower even though I am there

[Quattro1282]

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that we met out there last Sunday morning. It is so nice to be able to put faces to the screen names and be part of such a great community of riders. Many thanks to Derek and Mario for the pointers, my level of enjoyment increased exponentially, as did my leg soreness. As for Kai, D.T., Shelly, and James...you guys (and gal) are great fun to watch and maybe with A LOT of practice I'll be able to keep up. I don't think it will be long before I can convince Marie to buckle on a pair of boots. See you guys next year!

[monodude]

I was up today. The main lot was full by 10 am. Even the Valley was nearly full. On the way down it looked like the entire state was heading to the mtns.Bumper to bumper from Idaho Springs up.
Groom was somewhat soft, a bit windy, sunny, not too cold. I expect tomorrow will be really good. I left at 10:30 as the crowd was not condusive to freestyle carving.
Back home tomorrow Sorry to miss the LCI this trip. hopefully next time.

Lance, you are welcome, sorry I did not have much left in the tank. That board is a beast, my calves were talkin' to me most of the week. Don, sorry you won't be around, it just ain't the same without your freak flag flyin'. I take it you finally got internet in rock springs, good to hear from you
