This is on how to make clothing that represents freeskiing. No longer do we have to wear snowboarding shirts and brands.

It's all pretty simple. You just go to your local Walmart and buy T-shirt transfers. They're made by HP, Canon, and some other people. They run at about a dollar a sheet. Next, you need to design an image on your computer. You need to have a program that can flip the image. I use Microsoft Picture It, but I'm sure there are others. You just get a picture and make a design that looks sweet, flip it around, then print. Once you have it printed out just iron it on.

This is really great for making shirts for your own little video making. We have the Snowballs Productions shirts off the wall. You can even put a picture of yourself on a shirt. Overall, very sweet. Just thought some people might be interested.

Hey this is me again. Just wanted to let you know. You can email me anytime you want at bigair_clockboy at hotmail.com or at my freeskiing email address. You can send me videos, photos, info, and anything else related to skiing. See ya later!!!! o yeah this is not really about sick tricks/ sorry

Hey all you ravid skiers!!!! I just wanted to say that if your looking for skis/twin tips, I strongly recomend getting the Line 1260's. They perform great on the mountain,in the park!! and of course on the rails!!! O yeah list my article 5.oo k!!! I appreciate it!! Thank you, this is sick

The lake is glistening. The snow has fully crystalized from the snowfall early this morning. It's 3pm, and we have 1 more hour to make this beautfiful day worthwhile. A snowboarder charges down the hill at a speed which would make the batmobile jealous. We just got here. Heavenly Valley, CA. Wait, no, it's Heavenly, Nevada. Okay, so let's get the facts straight: Heavenly Valley is in both California AND Nevada? That's right. As wierd as it may sound, Heavenly Valley in South Lake Tahoe spans both California, and Nevada. In 1987, snowboarders were finally allowed on the slopes. They were allowed on the Nevada side ONLY. If a snowboarder was caught shredding Waterfall, or the Face, or Gunbarrel, hell was the only thing to pay. Cali. Skiers were happy. Snowboarders were not. They had to charge up Kingsbury Trail, a windy, slippery, headache of a road to get to the trialhead. Snowboarding lasted, and came out screaming after the first snowboarding movie was released on the South Shore. It started out innocently enough, but soon gave birth to a wild, and wreckless phenomenon. Skateboarders, and surfers soon found themselves adapting to the cold climate, and the snow. They were ripping lines down like they had been raised on snow and snow alone. Maybe that's because they had. Most of these early snow-creatures were raised on a pair of skis. They learned the basics at a young age, and were already comfortable on the snow. It was an easy transition from four edges to only two. The only problem was having to lace up the bindings at the end of each and every chairlift ride up the moutain. I guess it was a small price to pay for such an entertaining ride down the mountain. The questions soon came. First it was, "What the heck is that?" Then it was, "Where can I get one of those?" The fact is, more skiers tried snowboarding the first year, than any other year in snow sports history. Hard to believe considering the amount of snowboarders frequenting the resorts these days. Skiers love to snowboard, some just never have. Especially skiers who love big air. Skiing is rad, don't get me wrong. I'm not a skier hater. In fact I hated snowboarders back in '87 when the infiltration started occuring. Just give it a try. Rent a plank, and just let your creative juices flow. Just one warning though: you may never go back to skiing again.

I purchased a pair of LINE skis last winter and i must say they are the BEST twin-tipped skis out on the market. they are a fairly smal skier owned company and i have recieved nothing but good things and good skis from them. I bought the 2000 Skogan Sprang Pro Model and they are awesome. Check out their website its kicking www.lineskis.com

KEEP FREESKIING

What is wrong with people. I've been snowriding for 20years, I love the snow, I love the mountains and I love the sport. I don't however like the negative attitude that skiiers get and recieve from snowboarders. Both sports have their good points and bad points. I mean skiiers are learning about looking good on the mountain, and thanks to the snowboarders the days of tight ski pants, huge mirrored aviators and fluro zinc are almost gone. Thank god.
yet I find myself being put down by boarders, they don't seem to like it when we take their terrain parks, their rails and their pipes and rip them up. Occasionally you get groups of boarders who appreciate skiiers and will give the deserved props for a trick. I love to watch both boarders and skiiers going big, off cliffs, off kickers, rails etc and I will always show appreciation to anyone who is willing to put thier body on the line wether they are wearing two planks or a McDonalds tray on their feet. Maybe we should lead by example and just go ahead and start showing our appreciation for her majesty the snow and focus less attention on what we are riding on. I dunno how the rest of you feel but I hate wasting time with confrontation, I just like to ride the snow.
Keep it real,live life and enjoy it
cos you only get one.
peace out

Grom:
1. adj. A young, aggressive, athletic male. Groms can be seen at most ski resorts in the country, hucking themselves off jumps with skis attached to their feet. Most groms live in wooded areas, and drink hot cocoa with Marshmallows to stay warm.
2. syn. grommy grom, gremmy, gremlin out of control, grease monkey, grommy gromulinski, tom the grom
3. gromette (female grom).

Imagine it, you're riding up the chairlift on a sunny afternoon at local resorttown, USA, and a tiny person with turned up ski tips flies off a kicker and throws a huge backflip, he twists, and lands backward. He calmly glides down the slope fakie and rides atop what looks like a vandalized hand-rail with grace and ease, as if he was doin it for years. Then he stops, and peeps out instructions to his friends at the top. You instantly realize (thanks to his high pitch adolescnet voice) that the only thing he's been doing for years is taking the bus to school, and playing little league in the summer. Groms are spearheading the new revolution of the freeskiing sport. They go big, and crash big. At any local resort, you can see at least one skiing phenomenon known as "the grom" with a sparkling new helmet, and hot-waxed twin-tips skis ripping up a half-pipe, bump run, or table-top. If you see a grom on the hill, please understand whence they came from, and where they should be going. I love this website because it is the voice of a new generation of skiiers who need to be heard. It's really rad to see skiing get popular again. Thanks Jonny Moseley, you mogul rippin', misty flippin' stud. Thanks Shane McConkey, you Valdez chargin', cliff huckin, FIS suckin, guru/ambassador. The athleticism of most ski racers translates well to a good solid foundation for future groms and gromettes. Do research. Like, did you know skiing was invented in B.C. 4000 in Zimbabwe (okay I made that up, just another reason to look it up in an encyclopedia). Get involved. Ask if your High School or college (or middle school) has a freestyle team, if not, invent one. Ask your local church if they are planning any ski trips, and go with them to Whistler, or Squaw Valley. Read, read, and read somemore about the subject (thousands of websites to the sport can be found on the web). Go at it, have fun, and don't forget to stretch. The truth is out there, and will set you free.

If you live in Canada, try this the next time you get pulled over for speeding. (This will only work in Canada because we are bilingual, and all government employees are supposed to speak English AND French.)

When the cop starts talking, just say "en francais sil'vout plais." Which means "in French,please." If the cop repeats himself, slower, this time, say it louder. "EN FRANCAIS SIL'VOUT PLAIS." Gradually, repeat yourself louder and louder untill you are screaming hysterically. Hopefully, the cop might just decide you're crazy and leave you alone. Hopefully.

10 things that piss me off
1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time. I know where my watch is buddy...Where the fuck is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is?

2.The Pillsbury Dough Boy is way too happy...considering that he doesn't have a dick!!

3.People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the damn tv remote because they refuse to walk to the tv and change it manually!!

4. When people say... "Oh,you just want to have your cake and eat it too"...Fuck off!!!! What good is a damn piece of cake if you can't eat it?

5. When people say..."It's always the last place you look"...No shit. Why the fuck would you keep looking for it after you have already found it!?! Do people do this? Who and where are they?

6. When people say, while watching a movie..."Did you see that?" ... No dick...I paid $7.50 to come to a theater and stare at the fucking ceiling. What did you come here for?

7.The radio ad..."Hi...I'm Stevie Wonder...Don't drink and drive. I don't!"...I hope you don't drive sober either, Stevie...You're blind!

8. People who ask..."Can I ask you a question?"...Didn't really give me a choice there did ya buddy?

9. When something is "new and improved" which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If its improved, then there must have been something before it.

10. When a cop pulls you over and then asks you if you know how fast you were going. You should know asshole...You're the one that fucking pulled me over.
