That Bob Ross board looks awesome.

Last week I saw someone with a Skyy Vodka board with a naked chick on it. I had to compliment him on it. I wonder when there will be a PBR board.

How long have you been sponsored? Even though I'm late on it, congrats on sponsorship know that can't be easy to get. I was also wondering how big of a difference the pro-boards are compared to what an intermediate/advanced rider would use?

 

Just this season. I could have been before, but I never took it seriously. I still don't take it very seriously now. Basically I just like to ride for fun and film for fun, but my idea of fun sometimes is throwing down some big stuff to.
I just have a good time fun-guying it with the board sport team. I have been riding for a while though and with some really good riders that push me.

The boards I ride are the same as the ones you would ride. Pro-forming a board is just getting boards from the manufacturer at little to no cost. Often times the boards have less or more graphics or no serial numbers though. Like this one pair of 32 boots they sent out were all mismatched colors and neither boot had matching colors. Pretty badass IMO. I just keep breaking signal boards, but they make them so light and thin, I can definitely see why they break.

I always wondered how good everyone on here is. I really wanna go hit up Tahoe with you guys sometime. Unfortunately being strapped for cash makes it hard to ride anywhere but Dodge Ridge...which sucks big time.

 

All in good fun of course...some of my best clients are skiers

 

That's sick D.Fantom, would love to check out you and your teams riding. And it would be sick to plan out a BAIC snow trip where we could all ride together, or in my case try to catch up to you guys hahaha.

Has anyone rode a board with magnetraction? Heard it feels different than a standard board.

 

Ya, they won't be really be into the i-club thing. Even though one of em just bought a nice vf39'd red wrx.

I want to go on an i-club snow trip and I ride pretty mellow to. I just like to have fun.

I've never ridden a magnetraction, but I hear they're good if you like carving it up. Too many crazy board shapes these days. I'm pretty old school. I like the classic shape with edges completely rounded down.

 

D. Fantom: Grats on being spons'd! I don't really recall if anyone else around here is or has been, but I wouldn't doubt if OneManArmy or his li'l bro were @one point. I know they regularly raced/entered in comps @Bear back in day. And they still rip!

04Impreza: To add to what D. Fantom already mentioned about proforming, it's not limited to just sponsored riders & skiers. Employees of resorts (esp. patrollers), of board & ski shops, etc. also have the opportunity to purchase equipment at a VERY competitive price. For retailers, industry reps offer the proform incentive to help promote their products. It's really helpful for customers to get direct feedback re: gear that they'll be spending their hard-earned money on. Plus, it's much easier for sales associates to pitch stuff that they're personally rockin'. Years ago when I worked at a shop for a few months, I had just picked up my set-up a couple months before so I didn't get a chance to take advantage of the sweet hook-up!

 

Exactly.



So we should plan a Subie drive and ride to tahoe in April.

 

Yep, a lotta of the sickest stuff I've ever witnessed w/ my own eyes has been from skiers!

Btw, check out this vid I posted in the skier rollcall thread.

 

For sure we can all get together and have a few drinks that night and see if we can hit up a few runs together. I haven't been up too many times this year. I think this will be my 5th day at the Wood this year. It really is an awesome place. Its not a huge resort but the terrain makes up for it.




Ah man that sucks. Well have fun at the Wood when you do get up there. Just hit up Chair 10. Trust me you'll enjoy it. You might do this when you get to the top.

 

Will do XxSti05xX

Thanks for the info and clarification D. Fantom and boardoholic, I thought pro-forming was a type of snowboard like what the pro's used hahaha

 

Thanks for the compliment cliff... you ain't so bad yourself.

 

Why don't we all stay at harvys? I have to hook up and cam get a crazy big room for a really low price!
