Terrain parks!

Well, I went skiing yestorday and all I did all day was hit the Terrain parks! I love riding Box rails and jumping, although when I tried to grind a Double Box rail I faceplanted and bruised my whole left leg on the rail, but it did leave quite a funny shape! I got really mad at some of the people sitting on the mound where you drop in though, because they would just sit there and never drop in to jump. And of corse there were some like 9 year old kids who couldnt even drop in (it was a pretty small drop) and they ended up all falling right in the middle of the jump and they all lost their skis, it was a long wait.

Heck ya! The Mammoth Mt. terrain park is where I chipped my tooth, broke my arm, and got a concussion! (All at the same time)
Going to Big Bear this weekend to film in the freestyle run. I ski btw Snowboarders are just butthurt that we can kick their ass anyday

First time I tried snowboarding I got a concussion It was at Big Bear... on the bunny hill...

lol @ butthurt comment

Hahaha Yeah, Go Skiers! I had a lot of fun Grinding and stuff, but that fall really hurt! I also fell once on this run that comes off the Terrain parks, its called the Northern Wall... You can just guess on that one, its a really really Long Steep hill, pretty much a wall. After losing a ski and rolling 20 more feet down the hill I finally got my ski and made it down, but those were my only falls of the day!

Funny as "Watch your language" was when my friend face-planted on the same bump 3 times in a row. He would be going down, wouldn't see the bump and then WHAM! Right on his face! I laughed my head off, as did he. Still a funny story.

Skiing ftw!

Yeah, Durkee, screw you, too man! Don't lie, if all the snowboarders in the world and all the skiers in the world got into a massive streetfight, the snowboarders would win.

I don't snowboard anymore (I live in the desert, what ya gonna do?), but I used to ride a '98 K2 Juju w/ Lamar bindings.

Dude are you kidding me? The skiiers would impale you with their pokey things they use for their "Watch your language" thrust.

And we would whack 'em over the head with our boards and tie 'em to the lift by their scarves. (Because all skiers wear scarves, haha)

I don't wear a scarf, and the 'Pokey Sticks' are poles, haha. We would each take a ski in the hand and go totally ninja on you guys!

Riiiight, man, right

I'd have the bonds really loose, ride off a jump and at the last second push the board off of me with my legs and send it flying into your face

And if the skiers began to lose, they could all go speeding down the hill! My friend snowboards, and we (skier friends) always lose him because he can't bomb the hills like we can . Or he falls on one of the glades/crashes into a tree.

Yeah, all the skiers would take you in the small, steep runs, we'd be doing Split S's and you guys would be caught in our wash! AND OUR 'POKEY STICKS'!

We'd ambush y'all at the bottom of the bunny hill, haha. That would be the hill all the skiers come off of, anyways, hahaha

Nah, nah, I always come off of the black dimonds! We'd catch all the Snowboarders FALLING down the bunny hill!

Wow, I just realized this got way way way off topic!

I'm not gonna talk trash about street fights, but when it comes to glades, moguls, ice, and really any sort of technical natural terrain, skiers win. Hands down. I've never tried "terrain parks". My favorite terrain is a nice, steep, deep, virgin powder field. If you've got the right gear, riders and skiers can both handle pow well, but you have to remember that James Bond is a skier. It really all comes down to style: do you like to ride side-saddle or are you a man?
