A sista-specific bro model--great idea, although the above name would probably go over about as well as that fucked up scratch bc graphic. But I do recall that RD built a ski called the Bad Bitch...

I will wait to post my detailed impressions of the bro model--I was fully prepared to be disappointed, but suffice to say I was pleasantly surprised

For now, I will say that a) the stiffy rides almost exactly like the m103 and the xxxx, both of which I've owned b) my friend Krystin, who joined me at the Mt on sunday, is still raving about the soft version.

Good to see everyone, new friends and older ones. Thanks a million to the morning clean-up crew, you guys made it easy on me. Here's to the hardy souls who stayed up till the break o dawn with me. dm, I will be sure to have metal shoes next time so that I might join you on your intrepid travels.
I still can't believe I remembered to turn off the sprinklers!
What a night.

I heard about that. Thanks! Had you not, it would have made for a memorable wakeup.

Nice TR! Where are GT40's pics? He can usually be relied upon to document some rank idiocy...

I believe he has a lot of work to get some up. He was wired like a robot with all the gear he had.

I will try to get a few up today.

Your computer is giving you diarrhea?

I'm all scabbed up and I'm peeling from sunburn at the same time. I look like a mess (somehow, I'm used to this, maybe I'll get one of those bubble thingies).

What a good time. So many good people. You'd think for a bunch of geeks that met on the internet we'd be vastly more dorky than we are. A big thanks to GT for the lodging and grub, thanks to snowdog for the ride to Hood. Thanks to Natty for throwing down a crazy party (catered food, DJ, fireworks view, hot tub, etc...) Thanks to crinkle for getting me back to the airport. Everybody there had me laughing so hard, and a lot of the time I was laughing with them.

When trainnvain emerged from his cocoon the morning after Natty's I thought he'd slept in a chocolate bar or something. I was laughing pretty hard until he told us about falling face first onto concrete. At one point we were all hanging out in a hallway at Natty's laughing uncontrollably about pretty much nothing. Meats, lego, divegirl and other went to check out the abandoned house first. They came back saying "we opened the door, but it smelled like poopie". meats, phUnk, bobmc, and myself all headed back over found all kinds of crazy stuff. It was like a house abandoned in some freaky post apocalyptic movie. Pots of beans, clothes, court reports, hundreds of razors, blood on the walls, hand prints etc. It was pretty wild. We went into one room where the floor probably could've colapsed if we jumped at all. Bobmc shouted in when we first got there asking all the hobos inside to leave. phUnk, powho, meats, and divegirl were definitely holding it down in the park. GT, bobmc, snowdog, buzz, were all taking pics or filming. The snow was super slushy and the landings were really steep. Great hits for learning new stuff and exploding without getting too worked.

Will try to write more later. It was awesome to see everybody again, and also to have the chance to finally meet others in person. I have to say this was probably the best summit I've been to so far. Great people.

oh yeah, man in cheetah shirt, man in ruby slippers, and darkheart (assured us he wasn't picking up on us).

I just want to say another couplea things - and to express my thanks again to Natty for hosting such a killer party. I'm so surprised, too, that you remembered to turn off the sprinklers!! Wow!! After such a rockin' night, too!! Your lawn was comfortable - thanks so much for hosting.

And thanks again to GT40 for providing the fixings for some great sandwiches and to BobMc who also provided food and such. You guys are really great.

I can't believe no one mentioned Splat jumping naked into the outdoor shower and then into the hot tub - one of the first things he did! Classic!!

Trainvain it was fun to meet you, too. Can't believe you flew all the way out here! That's great. Lego and I saw you tripping up the stairs on your way to bed - didn't see the scars at the time - and we were totally cracking up because you were so, um, inebriated! Such a blast.

Mrs. Nuts - welcome to the board!!

Ah! Thanks for posting those! Now I need some mad steeze form - like busting out a tuck position or something

Wow, what a weekend. Great to meet the Utah/Tahoe folks. Strange we hadn't crossed paths earlier when I lived in oootah.
Couldn't have asked for better weather- special thanks to Natty for the pimped' out party, chill music, and great beer.

The itch to ski is back...must go again soon...And those Huck shakes were damn good. Ty- bummed about the early departure, hope you can make it up to the Northwest this winter so we can give ya the full tour! Nice to see the NW posse growing, I sense a Crystal mini happening this winter.

Bob looks like he's about to blow chow in that third picture!

**Mrs. Nuts** · 07-07-2004, 12:23 PM

I've been absolutely victimized. 2 days back from my first maggot vacation and I cut work short to read posts in front of a computer. I HATE COMPUTERS. You guys definately made an impression.

**iceman** · 07-07-2004, 12:28 PM

As the right Reverend Floater hath said, the board is just like crack, except you get to keep your teeth.
