SONW BOARDERS SUCK!!!!! THEY SUCK CUZ THEY RECK ALL THE FRIGIN RUNS AND EVERYTHING!!! I HATE THEM!!!!!!!!!!

This si more a descriptive poem but it definitly relates to this site so yeah, a project for english

I give a quick tug on the collar of my warm jacket. The cold, January wind stings at my face like a thousand needles on my short ride alone up the Quad to the top. I turn back to look behind me, towards all the people waiting for their chance to get first tracks of the morning, that’s when I see something so beautiful. As I look out towards the horizon I see beyond the mountain, beyond the condo’s, the cars, and the people, There I see it a small slice of heaven nestled among these rolling hills for only those few people who look at the right moment, on the right day, to see…as if it were a shiny diamond hidden among a pile of grey rocks. The bright blue sky and early morning sun beat down on Lake Pend Oreille’s smooth, untouched surface. Almost as if a mirror the lake reflects what few, scrawny fluffs of cloud still hang in the sky. I look around and I can see for miles in every direction: the snow is a soft white, the air is brisk, and the sun shines down illuminating everything with such brilliance my eyes would fry without my goggles. Not a soul has marked tracks on the new blanket of snow that covers last nights grooming. “A perfect day to be on the mountain”, I think to myself. As I gaze out on the view I realize the peace that a scene like this can bring to one’s soul. It seemed as if everything that had bothered me five minutes prior had no affect on me at the moment. Almost as if God stopped time so I could stare at the scene for a few more seconds before the chair violently lurches to a stop and I am jolted from my serenity back to reality. But that picture will be etched forever in the back of my mind as “my getaway”. The one thing I can think of when I get stressed that keeps me sane. It’s that one moment, that one scene, from that one chairlift on my way up Schweitzer Mountain.

Yeah we is all being trained. Think about that the next time you hang up a pair of jeans

hey i snowboard, it anit so bad dudes. Look Me and my dudes we all respect skiers hell, i like to race some skiers and love to talk with'em will going down a slope. Alot of my friends and i snowboard mainly but sometimes we rent skies and grant it it's hard, but i think skiers would have the same problem if the tried snowboarding some times. Look we all share the same mountian so why not just like snowboards because if you like me{govegtamonkey90210} then dude or dudet you like snowboarders.

This year i went skiing for the first time with my school. I had only just finished my lesson when i went on an advanced hill- i was following a girl who had taken the lesson with me- it was a blak diamond hill. I went down and found myself gainig too much speed. I didnt know how to stop- they hadnt told us how to do that in the lesson- and all of a sudden i started to roll forwards down the hill.when i started to slow down i was at the bottem of the hill i was rolling on. then my body- i was still rolling- bent exactly in half and i kicked myself in the head. i finally stopped, and then the pricipal stoped beside and made sure i was ok, because she had seen the whole thing. needless to say, i walked the rest of the way down.

Later on that night, we had an awards ceremony. I got the award for the " most spectacular wipeout"

I still hurt from that, but im much more flexable.

This one time.....in Russia, i was sitting at home. It was a sad day. for it was not snowing...anyday that isd not snowing is sad....in the winter. hahaha, so back to the story,i was at my home is Russia, 17km south of whistler, and i'm looking for a rial....firts i stole some stupid aluminum rial, not knowing it was aluminum. I attempted to grind this rail.....but well....now there is a whole in the rail form my skis.....and then i was mad, because aluminum rials bend, and chip, and your edges dig into them. Soooooo i improvised, and got a ladder form under a tree. I set this ladder up going fomr my lawn ontp a ice covered sawp below. Then i skied up and grinded...or greased the rail. To my .....ahhh, badness....or soemhtign, the ice broke at the bottom, and the ladder fell through the ice...this sucked for me, and then i fell onto the ice...but not the water so i was saved. But this was two bad lucks in a row. So i wnet back up to the aluminum rial and put it horizontaly to the runway. I was going to use it as a stale bar...but since it was soo highg off the ground i need to build a little like lippy thign onto it. So i was all done building it....and i skied up to ollie up and stale on it. To my utmost surprise, my right ski pops off on the little lip thing...and my other ski goes under the rial, and lucky me, slam both my kneees on the rail..!!!!!! how fun!...so thats when i gave up and when inside. This is the most pointless story ever, orginaly it was going to be about.....well i don't know...this is just what came up. Russsia lives on!!!!!!!

Last weekend i was skiing at a local resort. Near the end of the day i hit the largest kicker at the end of the terrain park. I judged the landing a little off and I hit the flat top right before the landing. The wreck was pretty heinous and i ended up shattering my heel bone (worst pain i've ever encountered). The doctor said the chances of my foot even being the same are slim to none. Needless to say I'll be ending my ski season a little early. I may have to say farewell to the big air I once craved. I must say this is the first time I've ever injured myself by going to slow. For those that say speed kills...i say kiss my ass go hard or go home. Hopefully I'll be back next season in full force....but until then everybody catch some huge air for me.

Ok, This is my opinion to who allways says the word poser. To me there is no such thing as posers. If there wasn't somebody to follow in somebodys footsteps than the were be no more skaters or snowboarders or skiers. You should look at who ever you think is a poser and think about it in a positive way. Like the are looking up to you or who ever they are coping. For example, my friend had a hat and he seen another girl with the same hat. HE called here a poser. how do you know she didn't get it first. I mean if you think about it, i bet somepeople call you a poser and you don't even know it. So just relax and stop saying sh*t to people who look up to you or who ever they are posing.

I was at Crested Butte late season two years ago and that is where I had my luckiest crash ever. I took a trail that I knew led to I nice jump that takes you to the last bit of powder on the hill. It was one of my favorite jumps and I knew the landing well. What I didn't notice on my way over the jump was that a coupe of noob snowboarders had spent the day warming up there. Though they were gone, the jump was covered in ice and had a skitch of rock on the lip. I went of the jump about 3 feet off from my usual takeoff point and though it was a bit sketchy I landed. Yet since I was off my usual line I didn't know what was under the powder, so just as I relaxed after landing I nailed a stump that was completely hidden and took a few cartwheels into the trees. When I woke up again I saw a blur in my vision; I toom off my googles and found that a twig went through the lens and was about a quarter inch from my eye. I also cracked a rib, but I was used to those. But what really ticked me off was the couple that skied by asked the dumbest question on earth, " Are you Okay?"

Ok, first off, I'd like to let you all know that what your writing about snowboarders are not actually short stories... they're stupid, ignorant, misguided rants that belong in the 'articles' section to the left.

Let's do some counting...

6. Snowboarders Ain't so Bad: Posted by ahren.

Wow... Six topics, that are EXACTLY THE SAME, how innovative and new. I would love for this subject to be fresh, so it wouldn't stick to the back of my mind like a rogue popcorn kernel clinging to the back of my tongue.

Maybe I can pound this through some of your thick skulls. Snowboarding is NOT BAD. People complain all the time about how all snowboarders are posers, and how people just pick it up because it's a fad. You need to think about this subject in a different light... people don't snowboard because they think they're so awesome, they snowboard because it's a fun thing to do! It's you mental midgets that assume, because you saw one snowboarder bragging about how he's so professional, that they're all like that. 'Snowboaders Suck: Posted by no_use_for_a_name' states that because one snowboarder wrecked his snow, they're all pussies.

This is NOT The correct way to think. Snowboarding started the twin tip revolution, and we should embrace them instead of bitching about how gay they are. Without them, we would have nothing, save spandex suits and a nice pair of bent poles. Even though some of them happen to be dicks, there are dicks who ski too, and guaranteed if you spend your time bitching about things as trivial as whether you've got one plank or two, you need to grow the f*ck up. I've been cut off, slowed down and poached by both skiers and snowboarders, and instead of posting angsty messages on the internet about how pussy they are, I do the less hypocritical thing, which is catching up to them, and telling them if they do it again, I'm going to shove the tips of my nice blue skis up their ass.

If you don't like what I have to say, you can f*ck off. This whole skiing/snowboarding rivalry has to stop, the whole basis for it is idiotic to begin with. It doesn't matter what you ride, all the matters is you rip sh*t up, and never let ANYONE tell you otherwise.
