Kirkwood Long Board Day...sunday, sunDAY, SUNDAY!

**Tyrone Shoelaces** · 04-26-2006, 11:42 PM

Mentioned this elsewhere, but Long Board Day deserves it's own thread. It's a shame we haven't been able to have one yet this year, but dammit, it's been snowing since New Year's, and it just wasn't appropriate. But now what better time to have another KW Long Board day than closing day?

SO...for those who forgot...Long Board Day = 210 cm skis or greater.

None of this 2-oh-8, or 2-oh-5, or 2-oh-nothin crap. This isn't old-skinny-straight-retro ski day. Or my-boards-are-kind-of-long board day. It's Long Board Day.

And you have to ski the meat. No just bombing groomers. You need to ski and wreck yourself silly

on the shit we usually ski

210 or greater.

I'll be rockin the 215 Blizzard Thermos.

666 will probably be on some 255 speed skis or something.

Who else?

If someone loans me a pair I will (315mm boot), otherwise the 188 bros will be underfoot. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Get on e-Bay, pick up some old 210+ DH boards for $5-$10 bucks and get them shipped to your house by Saturday. Time is short...but there is still time. Godspeed.

With that kind of timeframe I'd better check craigslist.... $5 POS's, where are you?

BC -- Now that's the kind of can-do attitude that makes Long Board Day so special.

**Telenater** · 04-27-2006, 12:21 AM

crap, longest I've got is 194 and nothing long on craigslist.

**fluffballs** · 04-27-2006, 12:36 AM

Dang it, i miss everything. Freaking Graduation on Saturday in Southern California and no way i can make it up by Sunday. Still got my fingers crossed for the cirque party. Can't wait to see the longboards pictures.

**Spats** · 04-27-2006, 12:46 AM

I might be able to make it. Any day-trippers who can carpool from the Bay?

**UNIBONGER** · 04-27-2006, 01:34 AM

anyone have any vintage photos of the legendary ten foot skis used in that contest back in the day?

Special prize for anyone who can make off with the ski jumping boards on the wall at Bubs and get them mounted alpine.

Shieet, I sold off my 215 cm Dynamic VR27 GS boards last spring! All I have left is a pair of 203 cm Rossi 7Sk. Can I still play if my skis are only kinda long?

**Pimpin' FROG** · 04-27-2006, 09:41 AM

Damnit..............Some old lady in our family is turning 85 on Sunday. I bought some valdez extremes from Skier666 and they are SAWEET. 210's too, (i think). And kush why did you whimp out on westshore?

Pimpin' Frog, bring your grandmother to K-Wood, I'm sure she skis with mad style.

**skier666** · 04-27-2006, 11:19 AM

Oh shit, its on!

222's for me. "Speed Giant Slalom" sidecut - whatever that means. Hmmm, or maybe the 223 heavy as fuck Volkls, just to be different...

bc - all my boards are mounted around 324 mm, so it may be tough.

Greydon - you'll be flying down right?

It's the thought that counts...

**lemon boy** · 04-27-2006, 11:36 AM

If somebody wants to pay overnight fedex/ups (sat delivery) + return via cheapest ground they can borrow my 84" rossis that easily meet the length requirements. Mounted with true universal high performance bindings (Linkens). telenater I'm looking at you....sack up!

**powder11** · 04-27-2006, 11:41 AM

Denver Wholesale has a bunch of long rides for moderate but not play-it-again prices

**Tyrone Shoelaces** · 04-27-2006, 11:58 AM

hmmm....well, it seems like my first chair ride of Long Board Day on the high-speed quad Chair 6 will only be seating 2. Me, 666....and we will hold two empty seats in honor of Lemon Boy and powder11 for their Long Board Day supportive efforts. I will place two lonely Descente headbands on their empty seats to show that they'll be there in spirit. I tip my beret to you gents.

**lemon boy** · 04-27-2006, 12:02 PM

don't forget greydon. That makes three and since headbands are not too big I think that both P11 and I will still fit on a quad in a non-gay sort of way mind you.

That's fucking pathetic that you can only muster three pairs of skis longer than 209

**Tyrone Shoelaces** · 04-27-2006, 12:06 PM

Greydon gets his own headband on his own chair all to himself ahead of us. He was the organizer of the first Long Board Day two years ago that never even actually happened. And then he organized the 1st annual Long Board Day last year, which sadly, also only had 1 or 2 particpants. But there is a light at the end of this tunnel and I don't think it's a train...we seem to be growing...will there be 3 participants this year?
