any chance you converted any of those skills to the snow? If so you gotta come up for the annual subabrew board trip. I have just about everything you could need.

Did anyone see last night. It's only a matter of time before someone dies with all the crazy stuff going on right now.
Danny Way is the friggin man. Guy bails from 21 feet out on to metal coping and fights off the doctors to come back out. Then falls and smacks his head off the ground. Then comes back out again and sticks a huge trick.
THEN GETS ****ING ROBBBBBBED!!!!
I don't know what the hell those judges were thinking. Seriously. A pocked out back flip into a varial 540 19 feet out by a guy with busted up feet.
Then bob comes in and does a switch 180... really difficult with that much speed into a 360 landing switch. Also difficult.
But I don't think it was any more difficult that what way did and had less style.
Shoot if bob is such great friends with Danny he shouldn't of taken that last run. Sorry but if I was sitting on a silver metal and my homeboy just defied death and came back with a 94 point run I'd come up with some reason to not run my last run. Friggin drop the board down the drop in and walk away. Much more class. Much better ending to the situation. True respect.
Instead he steals the gold metal. WTF.
Highway robbery if you ask me.

Usual guys are Cliff, Jeff, Lil Jeff, Justin and me. Couple other i-clubers have come out and usually a couple non subaru guys like my little brother. I think I'd be blackballed from i-club if I killed you on a tree.
Then Jeff usually comes up for 3-5 days hopefully more this year. Justin the same deal.
Be glad to have you out there. I'm sure we can set you up with most of the gear you need. Just don't be mad if I disapear...haaa. I likes to go fast in the trees.

yeah that's the gnarlies skate crash of all time in my opinion... that someone walked from.
But he also didn't continue skating and get a silver.

well sir. You're always welcome in my home. We do at least one subabrew weekender every year. Usually includes a lot of really good food. A Keg. And 2-3 days of boarding and drinking... not to mention the drive up and down.

I was actually sponsored by lakai when i skated thank you very much. if you look at videos from 2002 and then 2007/2008 there's no progression at all.. i've seen every video pretty much pre 2002.. then i see the latest(06/07/08) ones and it's the same tricks.

I can see where you're coming from as far as tricks but like I said before. Same equipment. Older sport. Rates of progression slow down when something has been around for 30 years.
Look at mtb tricks. Progressing INSANE right now because its new. BMX tricks. Not progressing very quickly... been around 20 years.
Skiing in a half pipe. MAD progression... brand new. Boards in the half pipe... still progressing pretty good but not that much. Older.
Its nature.
Right now these HUGE ramps are pretty new. Couple more years and you'll see a lot more of those super tech tricks coming out.
