I would like to propose a modification, any Tomahawk over, say, 5 spins should count as +2,000, but only if caught on film ;)

So how do a bunch of guys from Beantown manage to get so many first chairs at Squaw????

E = seriously impressed.

I have a feeling this will never be beaten.

Pats win Super Bowl
Red Sox win World Series
EC mags score first chair on KT after 15 foot dump

What's next?

wdit: We researched tomahawk points in GNAR. the rules state a tomahawk is a double flip post fall and is -2000 i believe. loosing a ski is -1000...thus bill's double ejection quad flip 'hawk is -6000...ha!

Well, since the Gaffneys are from New York, we had extra motivation.

Also, we rule.

wicked pissa" good stuff. but seriously, what time did you have to line up @ KT to score 1st chair that day? 7am?

Naaah. Everyone knows you can get to KT only 30 minutes before the bell and get first chair, right guys....

yeah. i think we lined up around 8:45. http://www.tetongravity.com/ubb/icons/icon7.gif

Bump 'cause its raining, Its May, and I have a lot of work to do (tomorrow).

Yeah, who's in for a hit at Mainline Pocket/Palisades when the strom clears on Tuesday?

Wow, can't believe I missed this thread. I was working 'round the clock to get my grad school apps out so I could get to Utah though. I'm stoked for next winter already.

This thread lasted the whole time i was in WY and I missed it. I just spent an hour (more?) reading every post in this and its classic. The shine of stoke is brilliant and blinding.

i mean, damn.
im gonna go pace and digest. Save some floor space for me next winter.

:eek: :yourock: :eek: :the_finge :fm: :fuckyou: :biggrin:

Up to the point of this thread I made incessant fun of Basom for his filthy board addiction (while lurking none-the-less).

Then I read this thread while waiting for the frozen rain to turn back to snow in VT (which took 2 weeks), and I never made fun again.

heh. just re-read this beast. annual spring-time depression is officially here.

That's awesome. There's nothng worse than a small floor.

bump for deja vu all over again.

it is that time of the year. its just warmer this time around, and it smells worse.

Bumping one of my favorite TRs ever, because it's starting to feel like ski season...

http://www.angrywhelk.com/shinjuku/m...he%20gurge.jpg

Bump again because this thread came up in an email conversation between TRock and myself today. It went something like this:

TRock: I was just thinking about that Possible Restrictions on Rt. 88 thread. So good

Me: Definitely one of the all time greatest.

TRock: It's cold and it snowed today.

Me: When can we go skiing?

bump cause it's needed.

Bump for the big Tahoe storm.

Pickles, Bill visited Tahoe this year. Why didn't you?

He started riding his fixie out there in February, so you should be seeing him soon.

This should be required reading at storm chasing school. Bump!

Edit: DOH's its HOF'ed, bump was somewhat pointless. Oh well, great read nonetheless.
