TR: 4/26/08 - Colo Longboard Day
Okay.
First things first: Marshal Olson – THANK YOU! Seriously, dude went way way way out of his way to get the mounts done. Much appreciated.
Thanks to all that came out for this year, like 10 times as many people as last year.
Now a word from our Spancers:
A note, the blush is the favored flavor for spring skiing.
A special thanks to our marquee spancer without your help fellas, none of this would be possible:
And now onto the meat! Oh wait, we have to have music now too don’t we?
Sountrack:
you know it nancy!
The anchovy…is a lot smaller than my pickup and loading the BATTLEFLEET INTERGALACTIKAZ (“the battlefleet”) takes some careful packing
The first thing in the AM crew, the balance of the rides and some gratuitous product placement
About a minute after this I had a shot of tequila...so things were looking good despite the howling storm.
lift rides are long with longboards weighing you down.
First run bunch
Note the p-poser in the back there who went from zero to hero in about 8 seconds when zappa convinced “George” to loan out some 218 Rossi Ladies DH boards (just like the VASectomizers but with MRRs and a little longer).
This is how a lot of the first half of the day looked like, C-Free getting his whiteout on with a backpack full of fireworks and Hamm’s
The only picture of telepariah I snapped before he disappeared for the day with the 222 Buzzards. That crazy bastard skied em all day and at the end of the day gave me a big hug and thanked me for their use? I would be broken a lot worser than I am if I’d tried such a thing.
New rule- No coming down directly on top of the photographer on LBD!
It’s Loveland so I have a lot of gangbang shots, which you’re going to get to see. Sadly patrol never opened the ridge so…whatever
Oh look, Dside is in front of everyone, how novel!
Yeah bubba!
I’m thirsty, we should stop for a minute or ten.
Daywalker gettin his railyard on:
CG grits his teeth and mutters the Bene Gesserit litany against fear, to wit:
"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."
Squatchmo and Daywalker discuss how fucking rad they are…or are not as the case may be
Do you need more music? if so…you know the drill.
The other thing I have a bunch of beyond the group gropes is Zappa sequences of him just fucking ripping. For real, pretty much the only guy who comes even close to the pure kill on longboard day is telepariah:
Me? I have an irrevocable lifetime license to suck

These two= GAG!
Actually, have fun in the butte.
And now, a little series I like to call “sometimes you’re…”
(Marlin- nonmag on the 211 7Gs) - Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug
SydVicous in A-bowl. (+Marlin, the bug still)
Mmmmm Carlo Rossi Blush!
Squatch it too young to know what a “Benejizzerit” is and instead is just hoping that those bitches come around for him. Looking remarkably like the bat-
And…sometimes yer the ball-
Daywalker brings you a very special “Sometimes you’re…”
Sometimes you’re the “gamble”
Hey Zappa, is this what a jet turn looks like? I don’t know I never saw one before
And sometimes you’re the “gamble and lose”
Couteau tee’s up a sequence on the Head 220s (“…the burliest skis I’ve ever seen in my entire life.” – M. Olson)
Oh and dside- I’d have a rad sequence of the 25 hop turns you did down this pitch if you’d have announced your intention to ski first…thanks buddy.
Zappa’s brother Pete, he also knows how to make his skis do the funky chicken:
Uglymoney!?! this is longboard day, not walk down A-bowl like a fucking gaper day:
Oh…nevermind: PROPS!
(ugly and his buddy crazy Terry rocked the E99s for a surprisingly long time…another thing I will not be caught doing, goddamn!)
BTW, while I’ve been doing this and biglines has been running really slow I keep getting these giant shots on my computer of my friend Noah who is in the stupid BD avalung ad…it’s pretty much just a giant shot of his snot crusted nose…it wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t know who it was or if it was a cute girl…but I do and it isn’t.
Longboarding is thirsty work:

And then, we took a brief interlude to shoot some fireworks
Pete lines up a MISSLE! (these things went like 1000’ give or take..up across back down…very exciting)
Liftoff!
Montanaskier thinks to himself…I hope I don’t get hurt doing this, that’d be dumb
Do you need more music? if so…you know the drill.
Here’s a biggish sequence starring a few people, Squatch, P-McP and Daywalker titled:
Sometimes you’re the bull
And sometimes you’re the steer
(pay attention to all participants in the photos)
Daywalker may be a steer…but so is P-McP :
C-Free gets his rally on
Gordy would be proud of how hard Daywalker leads with the hands
And the Coup de Grace! CHINESE MOTHERFUCKIN DOWNHILL BITCHES!
Dexter flew all the way in from new jork or some fucking place to beat everyone but he cheated and used disapproved skis, Dside took the top kudos this year on man skis. Congrats dude.
Jeers
Do you need more music? Again? Damn…you read slow.
To close, as with last year just another sequence of Zappa full on tearing it up…from the railyard:
Thanks All!Last edited by lemon boy; 04-27-2008 at 08:23 PM.

SOLID.
And I was chastized for the mere thought of a hawaiian shirt for KW LBD.
Yes, the chinese downhill sequence roolz!

Nice work boys and girls. The Chinese Downhill is a super rad touch.
Seanyob, HI shirts still are lame. You made the right call by not wearing one.Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

Yes, you should've been chastised for wearing a Hawaiian shirt at KW LBD.
Corn Harvest Garb = Hawaiian Shirts
edit:
and where were you? BTW- I don't think that 666 has put his up yet (unless I'm blind/drunk/stupid or all three) and have no illusions given the teaser picture. It'll be strong."It is not the result that counts! It is not the result but the spirit! Not what - but how. Not what has been attained - but at what price.

Hop, agreed. The looks I got all day from those not in the know will be forever remembered.
LB...just wait till you see what I ended up with....Redemption from the 666 family closet.Last edited by seanyob; 04-27-2008 at 08:58 PM. Reason: for LB

And that is the whole point! Taking an inside joke outside and not even caring that you and everyone you're skiing with looks like an A-1 dork.
LB: there is no KW LBD TR just yet, but I'm sure it's in the works. And from what I hear from the PNW crew, they should have a strong contender as well. However, this isn't about "who makes the best TR", it's about "look how much fun we had being complete idiots". It's like a freeskiing contest where there are no rules, no categories for judging (except the 210cm rule and bonus points for outfits) and everyone wins!
Edit #2: Are Utards too cool to put on a LBD? Have they ever pulled one together?Last edited by hop; 04-27-2008 at 09:04 PM.

^^Well put Hop.
Anxiously awaiting Beelzebub's report on what started with Bushmills at 9am. Just finishing off the last bit of it now
Again, SOLID showing by the CO crew!!

I was doubled over laughing for a solid 5 minutes when I first saw them.
Next year... time for a longboard hunt. Nice work folks.
Saw you guys from the chair one run, Zappa fucking owned the long sticks. I'd be stoked if I could ski even close that well on cheater shaped skis.

And I'm calling out MD9 and crew to get together a Utarded event. Lord knows his creative parameters will make it beyond epic.

Hell yeah!
I even received a phone call from the CO hosts...if SQ99 had the thing yesterday, it would have been a 3-way call of western Bermuda Triangle of long boarding.
My laptop is still processing the RAW images from the 43 cameras we had rolling....all I can say at this point is....hold on.

Seriously, no harm no foul. I pretty much just realized as you were headed at me that I was standing out in the total open while about 25 people with exactly 15 minutes in the last 15 years on longboards started heading right for me.
Mike- No problem really. Next year Charlie is going to have to take them, he'll make them things do his bidding.
Total carnage:
1 ruptured bota bladder: RIP my trusty carlo rossi blush toting friend.
1 really pulled and stiff hip
This fall accounted for both
2 sets of linkens that a careful inspection revealed cracks…as I was adjusting them for people (damn!)
4/5ths of a bottle of Reuniti Lambrusco
1/2 a bottle (4.0L) of CR Blush
1/3 a bottle of sauza
At least 2.5 cases of Hamm's got drunk"It is not the result that counts! It is not the result but the spirit! Not what - but how. Not what has been attained - but at what price.
