Unless we decide to postpone this event due to the upcoming storms.......

LONG BOARD DAY IS SATURDAY APRIL 21st, 2007

Tell all your two friends, its going to be 'sick.'

The two previous years provided a strong history lesson into the heritage of this glorious sport....

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

This gem from Sir Clark needs to be reposted here:

However, dressing like an asshole may earn you the Peoples Championships, but that bar has been set very high (see Kirkwood 2006). 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.

forget the steeeeze.....but do you have the skiiiiiiis?

**lemon boy** · 04-18-2007, 12:12 PM

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....

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.....

**skiergirl** · 04-18-2007, 01:51 PM

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...

yes there is one (its on el camino and el camino way) stocked full of once-worn versace clothing and prada shoes.. (j/k

)

**ninjabirdman** · 04-18-2007, 02:51 PM

also, check out savers in redwood city. have found some sweet long skis there in teh past

**Sinecure** · 04-18-2007, 04:13 PM

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.

**watersnowdirt** · 04-18-2007, 06:33 PM

dammit dammit dammit! I always miss this!! Damn annual Earth Day events. argh.

I'm looking forward to the TR. Should be sweet.

**idiot** · 04-18-2007, 06:42 PM

why is this on the 21st and not on the 29th(closing day)???????doesn't this sort of thing usually end up down at the cone zone and the usual last day debotchery

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.

Huzzzah!!!

**lhs** · 04-19-2007, 09:18 AM

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...

**nova2** · 04-19-2007, 09:28 AM

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?

**Tyrone Shoelaces** · 04-19-2007, 09:31 AM

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.
