spacewalk: triple daffy.
The J: tipdrop mulekick
I watched License to Thrill last night. That is all.
Where's the Kick Ass Blaster???
Late season in Las Lenas 2001 we were all hanging around waiting for the corn and I convinced Chris Collins to throw the sweetest J. The key to the J is putting both of your pole grips on top of your head with the poles straight up.
I will be available for touching between 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. Saturday at the bottom of the Flying Jenny.
is that the richard grieco movie? oh wait, no, thats Liscense to Kill
i think the first ski movie i ever saw was Maltese Flamingo
plake is still god
saw him at Mammoth once and ate major shit off of a cornice when i was like 15. his wife made fun of me afterwards. he had a silly ass silver poofy jacket on and ripped a majorly smooth line
the pole grips on your head with a 360 is my signature. the alien strikes again. in my photo i still have the habit of throwing my poles up on the head
weak, i was wishing for some nasty pics
I don't have any nasty pics for you but I just want to say your super spread eagle nut grab is real steezy my friend
this is from '97, but i am rocking the 80's North Face Extreme Gear and huge (205) K2 MSL's.
