The G out at the bottom looks pretty gnar. Did that take much soaking up to get thru? Looks like you'd get slammed into the sudden, relatively flatter slope at the bottom of that slot, no?

zat iz zee shit!!

I think I was actually in the air until I was inbetween the two rocks at the bottom......... The only thing we were all worried about was hitting the 4 foot wall of rock sticking up at the bottom on skiers right...(kind of headed towards it from the time you drop in)


nice TR dawg!

I love seeing the lady out shred the guys x 900.

That's the shit right there. Kush's line es muy burly. I looked at it earlier in the day and it just looked like an air to me. So I backed out since the lz had already been schalped by all the gapers hitting Once. Straighline...you gotta be crazy. So I told Kush about it and he hit it proper. I say god damn!

Sick pics once again Mr. 666. I have to get OB before they close. I haven't hit WS or TB at all this year. Shameful.

the mrs. stealing the show :FIREdevil

sweet tR as alWays
thennnnk yeewwwwwww!

Sick TR as always... way to bring the stoke to those stuck at their desks :cool:

FCKNA! Great TR! Sick line Kush!
Just the stoke that I needed this morning as it's raining again and looks like it will be through our closing weekend up here at Fernie.
Keep slaying that Cali goodness!

Is it me or are people in tahoe always having way, way to much fun for their own good? That's the impression I get from your TRs anyways.

that TR was almost as rad as Mrs. 666's pink pants

you made too many turns in v tree.

On a scale from 1 to 10 this TR rates a 666 :fm:

I just wanted to post in the thread with 'ghost ride yo whip' in the title.


Ghost ride yo whip ghost ride yo whip ghost ride yo whip ghost ride yo whip

FKNA!

This thread delivers. :cool:

Hell Yea, shit looking good out there.

Might even get Lay-Z and ride a lift or two out there on Saturday.

Yea, California sucks, we should all move to Nevada. Imagine not having to waste energy watching the scenery change or adjusting your heater / A.C. on your sub 3 hour drive back to a real City.

ghost ride yo whip!


just had to say it. Nice TR 666!

I love Satan and Kirkwood. In that order.

Sick.
