There are so many things I didn't know about this sport, like the flowboard thing just seems kind of crazy to me. I never related the two.

"When I was shaping my own boards I was basically outlining skateboards and blowing them up at Kinko's, and making big templates, and cutting big skateboards out of foam blanks. "

That is sooooo metal. Nice interview.

I have a question for you kids: when you come to this site, do you just go right to the chat page (like the general forum) or do you go to the front page, and then to which ever forum you want to speak at?

front page and look at the articles and the top threads on the top right.

headhuntermx4, that looks like a squirt with the pads on it. Very weird that they would sell that.

JTwakeskater56, HAHA. I think my boss at work said, "Age doesn't matter, it's all heart." He's a snowboarder but he's in his mid 30s or something. He's an interesting guy, that's for sure.

electricsnow, Your boss is right. Just a chronological way of keeping track of your time on the planet. Nick & I are going snowboarding the 27th thru 30th. No High North stuff...up to Beech & Sugar in North Carolina. It's cold here...down in the 50s last night (big a$$ chuckle.

Best of the holiday Season to All !!!!!!
