10/11 Snowboard Giveaway - Post here

Ok fellow shred heads.. So the 06-07 Snowboarding season is upon us. Here's a few tips to get you good and ready =D 

For those of you whose season has already ended due to injury, court dates, perhaps jail time, lack of cheddar to put in your tank if your so unlucky as to have to commute,  or even appointments for AA...

just some thoughts to prepare for next year..

To prepare for the snowboarding season, try these activities and preperations before you go to the mountain:

Soak your gloves in water and store them in the freezer after every use.

Fasten a small, wide rubber band around the top half of your head before you go to bed each and every night.

If you wear glas*es, begin wearing them with glue smeared on the lenses.

Throw away a hundred dollar bill - now.

Download all of last years snowboard video soundtracks onto your iPOD. Hide in a freezer box with your eyes closed and day dream your on the slopes.

Find the nearest ice rink and walk across the ice 20 times in your boots carrying your board and other gear. Pretend you are looking for your car.

Sporadically drop things.

Place a small but angular pebble in your shoes, line them with crushed ice,and then tighten a C-clamp around your toes.

Buy a new pair of gloves and immediately throw one away.

Secure one of your ankles to a bed post and ask a friend to run into you at high speed.

Go to McDonald's and insist on paying $8.50 for a hamburger. Be sure you are in the longest line.

Clip a lift ticket to the zipper of your jacket and ride a motorcycle fast enough to make the ticket lacerate your face.

Drive slowly for five hours - anywhere - as long as it's in a snowstorm and you're following an 18 wheeler.

Go outside, close your eyes, throw your cell phone as far as you possibly can. Now open your eyes and try to find it.

Fill a blender with ice, hit the pulse button and let the spray blast your face. Leave the ice on your face until it melts. Let it drip into your clothes.

Dress up in as many clothes as you can and then proceed to take them off because you have to go to the bathroom.

Slam your thumb into a car door. Don't go see a doctor.

Repeat all of the above every damn day of the week until it's time for the real thing.

So how many girls do you know from Mississippi dying to learn to snowboard?  Not many huh….. Any excuse to head to the mountain works for me.  I need a board so I can make a business trip out there for a lesson and a cute outfit.    

gah, if only you guys have seen what i ride now. or lack thereof. i just bought a new rig, no money to buy a board after i pay the taxes! bahhhhhh. cooome on :) show some love to the valley guys who spend countless amounts of cheddar to fill their gas tanks to see that white stuff in Tahoe :) Oh and, my fingers are really beginning to hurt from slamming them into doors(see my last post). Might have to cut them off, but hey, atleast ill still have my legs! woooooohoooooo! and gahdamn would i look friggin sexy with a burton board strapped to my feet. w00t!

lol...i got those same two ones ive always gotton you know the green one that says sierra big and the orange-yellow one with lines

hip hip!

Ever since childhood I always wanted to shred
Sadly, St. Louis winters are as inactive as the dead.
My first snowboarding attempt ended in disaster
Titanium plates, eight screws, and a pre-surgery visit from my pastor
A large plaster cast canceled my virgin trip to surf real mountains
And I found myself wanting to drown…possibly in a public fountain.

You’re not a failure until you refuse to get back on your feet
I told myself I would not be beat
Winter is not far away
It grows closer and colder everyday
Today I still attack the white stuff
And continually ask God for several feet of fluff

Now attending school in the Windy City
Writing-out rent checks leaves me searching for pity
But sad-puppy-eyes
Earn zero sympathy from a condo full of guys
Empty bank accounts leaves me without new gear
But oh how I would cherish a fresh Retro Twin this year

I dream of cuddling a new Burton ride
I want to fall asleep with her by my side
Sierra Snowboard has the power
To make my dream a reality in a distant hour
Please vote for bsimon2
And my love for you will always be true

Wrap that Retro Twin up tight
And send her on a four-hour-flight
Patiently as possible, I’ll wait
For Mr. UPS to deliver my long lost date
I kneel at the foot of my bed and pray for your support
And beg that no one sells this poem short

So thanks for your time
And for tolerating my rhyme
Good luck to all
And please hang this poem on the victory wall

The end

do you already have one? lol your sig....

So Sierra I thought You should know...

I learned to snowboard last winter. The Monday after my first trip to Tahoe I went online and found your site. I brought a whole set up. You had it to me by the following Thursday so that I could shred again on Friday-Sunday.

I was officially addicted. I went off a couple jumps and fell a bizillion times. But it is oh so worth it. Can't wait to do it all again.

HAHA he did take it out

Does being Nicki's sister count?

Hey sshaughn, I love the paintings, those are awesome!!!

      I know I'm going home.Moving on up through the world exploring, fascinating myself. Treacherous climbs are guarenteed. Those are overcomeable. It's the noises in my head that got me worried. They keep telling me subliminally that I'm due for a fall. I know I'm in it to win it, no guarentees, no mistakes allowed. Not this time. Not like last time.

I have those bindings too.  I was going to do something similar to your post but you not only beat me to it, but you did it with so much flare and humor that I'll be bummed if you don't win.  Your entries make me giggle.

Cheers!

I believe I should WIN for a number of reasons, requisite, social gain and economic relief.

Firstly requisite, in the Australian summer of 2007 I will be travelling to Japan for a snowboard holiday. I have two choices, rent a junky snowboard of purchase one for myself. The rental option restricts the extent to which I can push the board, for fear of its faulty structure disintegrating beneath my feet. The option of purchasing a board has its drawbacks due to cost and availability. The 2006 season has ended in Australia and stocks are limited.

The social gain achieved by both the winning of a competition and the acquisition of a snowboard will provide me with an increased social status. An acquaintance of mine owns a home at a resort and considers themselves superior to me. This person is currently riding a Hammer and is pleading to be brought a new Burton. If I were to present a new Burton their perceived superiority would be considerably diminished.

The economic relief factor of receiving a free snowboard can be incorporated into the requisite argument, but I thought it necessary to outline this key aspect. I am a student completing the HSC year at high school. Next year I aim to move to Sydney and attend university. This will require accommodation, food, transportation and general life support. My bank account will not hold me up for long and any financial as*istance would be appreciated. To buy a snowboard would mean digging into that account and placing added pressure on my studies next year as I would be required to find a job. The “gift” of a free snowboard would indeed be most pleasing and beneficial.

For the artistic production I would like to direct you to the three videos in the linked page. They are representations of: a test of courage and fear conquest.
