My Blog: The snow is good..I promise.
By: Porters_Tahoe

This weekend my really good friend Jay came in from NYC, and we kicked his ass. I picked him up at the airport at 11:41 am on Friday by 2:00 we were in the backcountry taking hot laps with Andy Spotts and Peter Tankersley. By nightfall we were tired and went home. Up Saturday morning with the sleds gassed up, lunches packed and a new tape in the camera, we headed out again. We met up with Josh Hall and Dave Harabedian and went full throttle making turns and shuttling on the sleds. Sunday was an on hill day at Squaw, what a trip I have been in the backcountry all season, that was my first day at the resort this year. Squaw was fun, but the backcountry was calling us back. I hit up Chappy, my boss and asked for Monday off, he said yes because he is RAD. So up again Monday, more lunches packed and Andy, Jay, Dave , Peter and myself were ready for another day out back.... Check out the Team Old Guy Vid...oh yes there are some funny bails too...

My Blog: The New Season is Just Beginning
By: oxnikiexo

I figured since the new season is beginning I'll keep updates on here :)

Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to go boarding yet. Sorta sucks being a poor college kids but I'll be working two jobs over break so hopefully it'll be cash money.

I also have my same old set up, nothing much has changed with that. Over break I'll more than likely be in at Okemo or Mt. Snow but while I'm at college I'll be hitting Ski Saw Mill in PA. It's a tiny mountain but whatever, it's the closest.

Not to mention I'm pumped, I'll be going to my buddy's lodge as soon as second semester starts, I believe it's in PA. I'll also be hitting up Gore in NY :)

It's going to be an insane season and I cannot wait!

My Blog: Shred Betties Board Test
By: shredbetties

Last Spring, we announced our first ever all-girl board test, and 8 snowboard companies offered us boards for our first ever Fun-O-Meter board test. We took the boards out with groups of girls in Aspen/Snowmass, CO and Hunter, NY to try them out on varied terrain and conditions. What were we looking for? Fun!

Check out our full board test to see which boards sucked, and which women's boards won the Super Fun Seal of Approval!

My Blog: I Wish We Had Snow In August!
By: livetoride85

So I was exploring the vast internet and came across a blog called WeKnowSnow.com and was immediately jealous. Snow! In August!! What!?!?

Here on the east coast we are lucky to start some of our seasons by the end of December. White Christmas my ass. I’m usually seeing dead grass right up until then. Yea we have our share of bad weather, but it never sticks.

I’m telling you, one day I’ll be here. Till’ then I call the east coast home. So I’m thinking, in a few years, maybe someone could hook me up out there, with a web or graphic design gig? Ya know, one that I could ride half the day and work the rest. Maybe my freelance will pay enough by then. For now it’s a 9-5 and 2 weeks a year :/

Thanks for reading,
Passion for Addiction

My Blog: J'aDesiré Cent Foisy
By: dk_killer

J'aDesiré Cent Foisy
Pierre de Ronsard

J'ay desiré cent fois me transformer, et d'estre
Un espirit invisible, afin de me cacher
Au fond de vostre coeur, pour l'humeur rechercher
Qui vous fait contre moy si cruelle apparoistre.

Si j'estois dedans vous, au moins je serois maistre
De l'humeur qui vous fait contre l'Amour pecher,
Et si n'auriez ny pouls, ny nerfs dessous la chair,
Que je ne recherchasse à fin de vous cognoistre.

Je s¸aurois maugré vous et voz complexions,
Toutes voz volontez, et voz conditions,
Et chasserois si bien la froideur de voz veins,

Que les flames d'amour vous y allumeriez:
Puis quand je les voirrois de son feu toutes pleines,
Je me referois homme, et lors vous m'aimeriez.

My Journal: Mid season thoughts
By: Raze

We're about at the midway mark for the east coast season now. There's not been much of a snowfall, 2 warm spells, and quite a bit of ice. Most people are usual naysayers, saying we've gotten off easy for the winter, but here in NY/NJ area, out big snowfalls come after Valentines Day, and then again in mid March. It's been this way for the past 4-5 years. How quickly people forget.

I've competed in 3 boardercross comps, lost one, got 3rd place in the other two. The guy that took first in the last 2 is a retired pro rider who'd been riding since 1984. How the heck are amateurs supposed to compete with that? LOL He was cool though, so kudos to him.

Going to be planning a late march trip to Colorado this week, so I'm amped about that. Should be good fun. I miss riding in powder. Its been over 5 years now.

I need to start kickin up my tricks and jibs more. I do NOT want to go through this season without some good pics and video footage. I really need to take a day off so I can ride during the day when the conditions are NOT a sheet of ice.

My Blog: Giants
By: goofyk2boarder

sooo i just watched the ticker tape parade in NY. Wow. Wish I coulda made it in today. I was there yesterday though. Holy sheeit it was crazy yesterday, but today - there's an estimated 1 million people at the parade - I can't even imagine. Everyone watched the game? Oi. Just oi. Recap for those who didn't: last 3 mins NY was down, Pats clearly were gona win, they get the down with like, a catch on the head, the guy flips over backwards basically, lands on his back, catches the ball. Manning passes and they got a touchdown and it was done from there. 30 seconds left the pats made like three long passes that if they got a touchdown we would be done... ok, you get the point of teh excitement. it was sick. new york is crazy.

oh and i'm going to new york thursday too. check it out http://www.streetsessionsnyc.com/

My Blog: Kudelka's Dance class!!
By: anne-flore

august 2007

I…. Have the time of my life…<br>Taking Marty Kudelka's dance class!<br><br><br>Marty is one of the very best choreographers in the world.. He is directing Justin Timberlake's show all around the world and I met him while I was in NYC in august this summer.. I always loved dancing.. it s the one thing I always loved but never got the chance to get into.. or never took the time.. besides the party aspect of it of course.. but anyways.. Marty and his dancers.. while they are tour teach dance classes all around the world as soon as they get a day off! and I wouldn't have missed it for the world! <br><br>So here I am, in English Town at the Icon Dance Complex for my very first dance class given by the best dancers in the world! The first class was given by Nick Bass and he was way too good! I wasn't able to follow a single move.. but I was loving it! So I stayed for the second class given by Sky Hoffman.. and that one was dope!! He teached us some moves of Locking! Which is a super fun 70's west coast dance.. picture it: all dudes with huge pants up their chest with suspenders and exaggerating each move!! Hell fun! And I got lucky on that one cause Dana Wilson another pro dancer followed that class right next to me.. which allowed me to check her feet and gave me a chance to do some of the moves!! That class was for sure my favorite! Somehow it felt way easier by the fun of that dance style!! I had a smile stock up my face for the whole day after that! And I stepped to the side when Marty's class started.. it was quite impressive to see all these people following all these crazy moves! Insane! <br><br>Marty s got skills for sure! <br>And he loves snowboarding too! He went skiing for the first time when he was 25 in Big Bear Mountain.. holing ass through the whole park with the only solution crashing to stop! Then he learned how to turn and how to slow down.. Classic! Everything felt quite easy and he had a blast but after 2 days of skiing he decided to try snowboarding.. and that's where things got challenging he couldn't just go for it.. he had to work for things to happen the way he wanted to.. with crashing and the whole progression process.. and that's what made snowboarding interesting and fun.. since then Marty has been riding sick other spots like Mammoth and Whistler.. or Scotland!! Even though he seems to keep a quite bad memory of the Tbar that he wouldn't let go! His favorite grab would be a big suitcase! Yeah! Marty!!
Check videos of Marty's class! Soo sick! google him! he s got sick dance videos on!
And THANK YOU MARTY so much for the good times!

Abyss of the Oracle: F*CK!!! I forgot.... NO REALLY
By: Broderick

I just realized that it is almost my 16th birthday....

sh*t. I'm not doing anything, not having a party or anything. I never expected it to get here quite so fast, really.

It's going to be interesting, being the second oldest in my grade.

Well.... not really, since I don't think anyone really gives a f*ck about my age, they just consider me to be automatically younger than them.

I'm still owed a few presents (kind of conceited sounding - but really I was promised gifts this year), so I'm a little apprehensive that what I get this year might be some piece of crap off the bargain shelf, like what happened on my 7th birthday. That was embarassing. No one wants zebra striped nylons. Apparently there was some horrible mishap and someone thought that nylons meant socks or something, but really, who shops in the girl's section for a boy???!!!

Anyway, if your birthday is also on December 17th or Tevet 10th, or around this time, then MAZEL TOV!!! Have a great day!!!
