    I'll be there Thursdays (working) Saturdays (riding) Sundays (working - when there isn't a comp somewhere else) hit me up or look for me when you are out there.

    My buddy just posted this image from Wild

    Hey, you live in the same building as me right? Downtown St Paul? I've got the WRB Bugeye Wagon.

    If so and you board, we should coordinate some outings. I'm getting my Afton pass next weekend. :D

    Yeah its me, I forgot to tell you my real name when we met! (Courtney) I noticed the racks on your old Evo and think I saw you roll into Afton last year once, forgot to mention that when we talked briefly. But yeah, let's make it happen. I made a comeback at the end of last season after a 14 year or so break from snowboarding and am trying to get my skills back up. :frantic:

    FYI - Working/Running the Rock N Ride @ Afton on Saturday. Comp starts @ 2pm, show up @ 1pm for reregistration. Free to enter and there is prizes to go around. The BIG Park isn't setup yet so I am guessing Rails, Boxes and some sort of wall ride... we'll see what the park crew can make this week.

    Hit me up if you have questions. It's always a good time so come on out.

    It doesn't cost anything to watch... but i am not sure if they will require you to buy a lift ticket to get into the area. They might? Sorry I am not sure, the gate people can be very lame.


    If you do come you might as well join in on the fun. There is every level of rider there.. more not good than good :)

    Might as well try and get some free snowboard swag.

    Friends must have bailed.... I didn't see you. The Rock N Ride went well. I made kids try out the new feature as part of the comp. An upside down V hull fishing boat. Its dope.

    You should come out for the next one. Boarder X!!!

    I didnt get there until like 2:30, I stopped over but couldnt find ya. The boat looked dope! So I was there around the time they played that "Yeah Buddy" song, I really would like to find that joint somewhere! I'll probably go next weekend sometime and will also try to hit up the next event.

    They have been doing the $15 tickets from 10pm - 3am every Friday this year. It's always a good time. I have only made it out to Troll 1 time this year... I would like to make another Friday night. Won't be this weekend. I am riding Afton Saturday and Sunday..... also if we get some snow this week I might head out after work. It would be nice to ride in real snow. I have been out 2+ days every week this year and not once have I been able to ride in fresh snow.

    I saw a blue STI at the highlands bar. Was that you? I was outside hanging out with friends but you left while we were out there... didn't see who it was.


    Saw blak04wrx through the window, but you were heading down the hill by the time I got outside.


    I saw a very nice silver 2.5 RS (pre 2002) with two snowboards on the roof as I was leaving afton.


    Snow was weird today.... like sugar snow. Not the mash potatoes we have been riding 90% of the season. Still a nice day to ride.

    Nah wasn't me. I was parked down the hill by the main bar. Blue 04 wrx wagon. Had to call it day shortly after My post due to catastrophic binding failure.... Time to call up Burton and get a new base plate.

    Video me and my friend Kevin recorded yesterday. We aren't that good, so there's no good tricks or anything. Just had fun riding in tank tops, it was so warm. Gave the GoPro to a couple people that did the water skipping. It was incredible out!
