Damn, I never thought about getting a bottle of bum wine for gaper fools day. Oh well, there's always next year.

And as an added bonus, if you ski Long Board Day on acid you’ll win a pair of vintage Kerma ski poles.
Game on fuckers.
niiiiice.

The one item that I feel past LBD TRs have been sorely lacking:
Bota Bags.
BTW- If somebody wants to lay down for some priority shipping + return shipping I have a set of 217 rossis with Linkenz for loan. They are tuned up and ready to not turn.

Yesssss....666 has some 215s for meeeeeee....:D :D
Edit: Also, if there are any bay area mags who want to head up friday night, crash at Kirkwood (free, don't worry) and come back Saturday after a day of debauchery, let me know.....

Soooo, what to wear? Looks like last year's was costume or vintage. But then PNW goes all vintage, well mostly. I need a ruling...
Do any of you gentlemen have something >200 <210 that you are too scared to run due to endless ridicule? I don't think Palo Alto Goodwill (is there one?) will have much. 307 boot sole...

Bummer, I've gotta be on the North Shore this w/e to clear out the cabin. Plus I need to be back in the Bay by Saturday night. It'd be fun to bring either the 210 snowboard or my 223 Dynastar Descentes (available to anyone who wants to use them if you come by Tahoe Donner on Friday evening late).

That's sound like an sick setup with Linkens no less. How much do you want for them? I surely won't be turning them at 140 lbs.

I have a pair of 195 women's Heads you can have. You'd need to provide your own bindings however as the ones on there are circa forever ago. They might be around a 305 boot sole if you're feeling adventurous.

I have a pair of vintage 205 Dynamic VR17s at the SLT Poon Palace. You're welcome to use them if you can get the current bindings (circa-1970s) off and stick your bindings on it. The bindings appear to have been riveted onto the ski.

They are decidedly not for sale. They're for LBD loan only. And they are fun but only in the most specific application of the word.
Squaw will be played before the Kirkwood Krew has even finished their last round of Franzia spritzers in the parking lot, base. Don't let the prospect of North Lake fresh distract you from the task at hand.

I'm in the same boat as skiergirl, with a sad lack of classic skis in my life.
anyone got any loaners to send my way? foot size = little (274ish).
otherwise it'll have to be all about the costume...

I'll be there with Longboards 213 Vertical Assaults, heading over to Goodwill at Lunchtime today. My fear is that the homeless bros have bought all the fart bags already, but I might get lucky.
I'll be shopping for vintage. The plan is to leave tonight, Thursday, traveling vintage with a 2 wheel drive car and old chains, should arrive by Saturday at the latest?
NorCal Longboards!
I've got a line on some 203 Volkl's, not sure what the bsl on them is. I can bring a drill and epoxy? Let me know if there is a need for some under 210 fem longboards?

KW is reporting 18" over the past 2 days on the website and it has stayed cold. Can anyone confirm? Plus a little bit more expected to come by the end of Saturday.
don't play it like weather is an excuse. the PNW rocked it in poor ass soggy conditions. normally it would have been a turn back day.
in other news, can't wait to see what you cali crazies turn out for NorCal LBD 07! :yourock:

I picked up a jacket last night that is nothing less than epic, although pricey...$13 at the thrift store!!! Not my original plan, but it'll do, it'll do. I'm lacking an old school beanie and goggles though...

*Sniffle* Regrettably, I will not be in attendance this year. A family birthday has me off skiing in another part of the state. So I'll leave you with these thoughts:
May all your turns be STEEP!
May the longboads run straight and true.
And may the wine coolers not leave you with a hangover.

I've got some 195 k2 SLC w/ edge damage and markers :nonono2: mounted for 313. Might fit 305? They're in SF

Yes, early start in the Saturday early morning sunny freshness on 222cm boards WILL be the envy of all the other idiots out there on skis over 100mm in the waist.
I too, will be visiting some Salvation Army and Goodwills during lunch. Bring it!

I've got a sweet teal Descente fart bag with purple and yellow highlights if anyone is interested. I'm 6', 175lbs and it gives me quite a moose knuckle so it would work for someone a little shorter...pick it up in SF. Let me know ASAP. I'm getting on a plane @ 3pm today. If you can't pick it up today, I can have my brother leave it out for pickup tomorrow.

DUDE....if I'd known....oh well, it'll go to a happy individual. If anyone needs this I could probably pick it up and bring it up for Saturday...:yourock:
04-19-2007, 11:40 AM
hop
you should probably pick it up just in case, who knows it might be better than something else.
On a related note, 666, I believe both my speedsuit and my slalom pants are in WA! Argh! At least I can't find them and they're not the sort of things that just get lost in the piles....
Good thing I have the track suit as a backup.

This sounds great, any excuse to wear my limegreen 70s ski pants is a good time. Plus the tales I heard from last year make this sound like an event not to be missed.
Sadly my long boards are in MT collecting dust in my parents garage.
I know Im not deserving (still a jong) but if there is a pair of skis out there looking for a pilot let me know. I too have a smaller boot: 285...
