Bring the pain! The 2011-12 Snowboard season is finally here!
BRING ON THE PAIN! What happened to the early season snow falls you said we’d have Mr. Weatherman? You kind of fibbed on that one didn’t you! Well this weekend (12/10) most everyone opens up for the long awaited snowboard season. We’ll have the parking lot set , AKA The Parking Lot Lab, up firing as soon as we can. Until then go hit some of our fine local day areas like Mad River & Mt. Brighton, give them a little love because the both work the local scene pretty hard & don’t have that big corpo mentality like some (that we won’t mention). Remember always to point it once in a while, don’t talk crazy sh!t, don’t hate, jump higher & support your local snowboard shop. Get it while you can!
Alvederzane 2011 wind season, I won’t miss you!
What a crappy wind season, it showed so much promise early on & totally let us down in early fall. By late February or early March I’ll have totally forgotten how to ride or jump a wave! A few good days few & far in between don’t make up for the epic disappointment that we’ve suffered this year. In theory we still have a few more opportunities to ride before the bottom on the thermometer drops out so my gift to you is the last one “confirmed” in our end of Erie gets a Red Sky gift pack from the best shop in the world…….Red Sky. Once again it has to have a witness & one of our local riders, not your friend Vinnie up in Lake St. Clair. Basically, if you’re on the blog, you’re in the contest.
“First Sunday” Rail Jam 11/6/11
Thats right, someone is whipped!
The Good, the Rad & the Gnarly~Summer 2011
The setting: Ryan, Mark & Don head east to ride one of their favorite wave spots on Lake Erie only to be hasseled by the Man. This is based on a true factual account (sort of)…….
Mark & Ryan: sure looks like a good ol’ fun windy day, I think we’ll meet up with Don for some non destructive riding out east, those waves will be super nice
Don: hey, gee willikers its good to see you guys, oh-oh looks like security is coming our way!
Mark: no need to worry, I’ll just read him some bible quotes!
Tuco (the security guard): I’m looking for the owner of that TW edition Jeep. He’s tall, curly haired, he smokes a cigar, and he’s a pig!
Ryan: (pointing at Don) that’d be Don
Tuco: (to Don) I like big fat men like you. When they fall they make more noise. And sometimes they don’t get up.
Mark: ummm, sir, Don doesn’t fall as much as he used to!
Don: yeah, what he said! (hands the guard a note)
Don: [taking the note] “Idiots”. It’s for you.
Ryan: I’d rather put my gun on and take off my drawers!
Mark: We just want to score some of those tasty waves sir, we mean no trouble.
Don: (starts to set up) dang, I got my lines all screwed up again!
Ryan: thats not the only thing thats bit his ass!
Tuco: If you save your breath I feel a man like you can manage it. And if you don’t manage it, you’ll die. Only slowly, very slowly old friend.
Mark: die, he ain’t gonna die
Tuco: There are two kinds of people in the world, my friend: Those with a line around the neck, and the people who have the job of doing the filming.
Mark: well I ain’t filming & the line isn’t around his neck yet!
Ryan: All right, If you are marina security, where are your badges? Let’s see them
Security Guards: “Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don’t need badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned kiter and pink car driving fool!
Later that day after Ryan was arrested during his court appearance on the trumped up charges:
Judge: wanted in counties of this state…
…the condemned is found guilty of the crimes of murder, armed robbery…
…of citizens, state banks, and post offices…
…the theft of sacred objects, arson in a state prison…
…perjury, bigamy, deserting his wife and children…
…inciting prostitution, kidnapping, extortion…
…receiving stolen goods, selling stolen goods…
…passing counterfeit money, and contrary to the laws of this state…
…the condemned is guilty of using…
Therefore, according to the powers vested in us…
…we sentence the accused here before us…
…Ryan Benedicto Pacifico Juan Owens Ramirez…
…known as the “Rat”…
…and any other aliases he might have…
…to hang by the neck until dead.
May God have mercy on his soul. Proceed!
Mark & Don: boy thats harsh for just wanting to catch some crispy waves!”
Ryan: [shouting as hes drug out of the courthouse] Hey, Security! You know what you are? Just a dirty son-of-a-b-!
Tuesday Ride Nights 2011-its better than working!
Ladies, this one is for you!!!!! MARK!!!
Its Ryan & he's flying!
Come on out & ride with the crew on Tuesdays!!! The goal on ride nights is first & foremost to get out on the water & ride. If the direction & winds co-operate you can try out some of our small trainer kites or jump on the barney windsurf board- if you’re a newb. Need some pointers, advice, help setting up or just are tired of riding on your own- then come on out! Remember Tuesday ride nights do not replace a lesson, they are more to complement it. Ride nites will go down if the winds are strong enough to ride, with gas a $4 a gallon no one needs to head out to the beach unless its looking promising!
Booty!!! another one for the ladies (& Carl)
