A New Trend?

[NEFFsteeze]

Last year the Airblaster leg bag was really huge and most people wanted one. But this year i heard the newest trend that only the best riders wear are HULA HOOPS. The Airblaster is completely finished now that people are wearing hula hoops.


i just decided to make this cuz i thought the leg bag was ridiculous. It cost 60 bucks for one. Like yeah i thought they were okay but just such a rip off.

[e.]

lol, where by the chance did u hear that about hula hoops. well it make a good challenge down the slopes

[Benjb]

Those leg bags are anoying, I don't see how people wear them all the time, feels like I have a squid raped around my leg.

Big cargo pockets > leg bags :)

[NEFFsteeze]

Yeah it would be a good challenge but people are also gunna carry jump ropes out of the back pockets instead of bandannas or anything. One person will probly take this seriosuly and do it then it will be the trendy thing to do just like the leg bag.

Travis parker wants to quit airblaster and start riding with a hula hoop.

[cuethebirds]

leg bags are awesome i hold all my stuff in them, and they are $60 because they arew handmade in the us by people who actually get wages, they arnt made in some malasia sweatshop like all the burton gear.

[Ace]

Yeah thats true!! but still for 60 dollars?? :shock:

[NEFFsteeze]

I see what ya mean but i still don't think its worth 60. Maybe like 40. Like i did want one last year until i found out the price. And just to let you know that Burton boards are made in Austria in the same factory as Forum and Jeenyus.

I still think hula hoops will catch on.

[kelly]

I think maybe he meant burton softgoods.
I noticed a few people with those leg bags.. interesting trend. I can't keep up with you trendy young folk, given up on trying.

[Benjb]

Well, I don't know about the rest of you... But I am deffinatly sportin teh pink hoola hoop this year!

[NEFFsteeze]

oh hell yeah i already got a neon yellow one with green polka dots.

[kelly]

I'm anticipating hearing about some hula-hooping related lift incident on the news.

[Ace]

wtf? r u guys seriously referring to a real hoola hoop? fill me in plz im lost!!

[NEFFsteeze]

I'm anticipating hearing about some hula-hooping related lift incident on the news.

it will probly be like " Im john roberts reporting for CBS news. Tradgedy happens on the slopes today. A teenager has his hula hoop caught in the chairlift when trying to get off the chairlift. He was then hanging 30 feet of the ground and plumetted to his death. This is john roberts and thank you for watching CBS news."

[NEFFsteeze]

wtf? r u guys seriously referring to a real hoola hoop? fill me in plz im lost!!

Dude it was just a joke and yes we were reffering to the childhood play toy a hula hoop. Maybe somebody will be crazy enough to wear a skip it.

[kelly]

I think uninc was just mocking the trendy people. And possibly testing them.

[Ace]

lol alright... figured yall were kiddin!! nice little newscast u did... haha

[kelly]

it will probly be like " Im john roberts reporting for CBS news. Tradgedy happens on the slopes today. A teenager has his hula hoop caught in the chairlift when trying to get off the chairlift.

You forgot the follow-up:
"Next on CBS news, Snowboarding: enjoyable sport, or DANGEROUS DEATH TRAP? Should you be letting your children snowboard? John Roberts investigates."

[cuethebirds]

$60 is fair for how useful it is i think, but i got mine for $20 so... yea
and the other airblaster stuff isnt too overpriced
the vintersars jackets are like $200, and they are sickkk

[wootang71]

black is the new pink

[Fae]

Dude it was just a joke and yes we were reffering to the childhood play toy a hula hoop. Maybe somebody will be crazy enough to wear a skip it.

Right, that made me burst out laughing in the middle of my office. I think my boss is onto the fact that I'm not working now.

[SnowGeek]

If only if it were true... I'm much better at hoola-hooping than snowboarding.

[The Voice]

I swear the first person I see on the slope's here with a Hula-hoop I gonna cut thier pass!!!

[ride jersey]

wat the hell is a leg bag thing

[The Voice]

It's like a back-pack, but for your leg. It straps on around your leg!

[pop]

I swear the first person I see on the slope's here with a Hula-hoop I gonna cut thier pass!!!

eek! stay away! i want to keep my pass! i just started my own hula-hoop snowboarding club. (coming soon to a mountain near you.)

[The Voice]

You can't be serious??

[BoarderJ]

The best thing I ever tryed was an umbrella. It was raning a bit so I went down the park with the umbealla. You cant do hits but you can do rails.
There were these kids trying to hit a fifty foot box and they couldnt get it, but then I passed them and did the whole box while under my umbrella. I think next time I should take it off a cliff.

im not a very serious person. seriously.

[dontxstopxme]

hey... i'd be impressed if someone could hula hoop or jump rope while snowboarding

[The Voice]

hey... i'd be impressed if someone could hula hoop or jump rope while snowboarding
I would be too, but it's impossible!!

[BurtonWhiteAK47]

what is a leg bag?

[cuethebirds]

a bag on your leg that holds stuff, like money, wallets, tools, keys, extra lenses, etc. its made by airblaster: www.myairblaster.com and its a new trend and everyone wants one

[SnoChica]

Silly people.... always taking things so seriously. :)

[BoarderGirl]

Sure the leg bag is trendy, but you could be cheap go to a thirft store and get a fanny pack to do the same purpose. My friends in New Mexico are leading the bring back the fanny pack campagin. Personally if it doesnt fit in my pockets i dont need it. I bet my jacket has some old crusty food in there right now.

[kelly]

NOOOOO! Don't bring back the ass pack! Stick with the goofy leg bag, please!

[cuethebirds]

i sometimes wear a hot pink fanny pack around my legbag lol

[NEFFsteeze]

Yeah well you can wear your leg bag or fanny pack. But ill be ridin' with a hula hoop with beads inside so you can hear me coming. It will be retro colors like neon yellow and pink. And while im at it ill wear my goggles so low i can't even see out of them. Then ill be real cool.

Im hoping somebody in this thread takes this seriously cuz i sure don't. I want to see somebody ride with a hula hoop real bad cuz it was look soo funny.

[kelly]

I wonder if it's physically possible though. Could you wiggle your waist around without accidentally catching an edge? Plus, you'd have to compensate for your forward momentum.

[NEFFsteeze]

hmm good point but once i ride with it ill let you know. Im gunna be sooo trendy now with a hula hoop and goggles sagging so low i can't see out of them. hahaha

[kelly]

I like the jump rope idea too. The concept of trying to jump rope on a snowboard is a comical one.

[NEFFsteeze]

Yeah jump ropes will be up there with hula hoops for this years most trendy accesory. hahaha i would like shoot myself if this ever came true.

[kelly]

Yeah jump ropes will be up there with hula hoops for this years most trendy accesory. hahaha i would like shoot myself if this ever came true.
I think that "thevoice" guy might get you first.

[NEFFsteeze]

haha he probly would. He took this whole thing way to seriously. I told him that in the the tight jeans thread.

[MacAddict]

do the hula hoops come with a matching thong? :twisted:

[Fae]

Can someone please try hula-hooping while snowboarding this winter? And take a video then post it here? I bet watching that during the middle of a crappy day would be a great pick-me-up.

[kelly]

Faelina's right, someone should. Or just show up with it at the park and dare someone to try it and tape them. Either way, entertain us!

[Benjb]

I am going to eb the first person ever to do a Flip with a hula hoop, and you will all be jelous.

[The Voice]

NO because I'm gonna be the first to do one THROUGH a hula-hoop HAHAHAHA

[The Voice]

I think that "thevoice" guy might get you first.
Now Now I never said I would "SHOOT" anyone but I will clip passes for sure!!

[NEFFsteeze]

I am going to eb the first person ever to do a Flip with a hula hoop, and you will all be jelous.


whoa. I invented this new trend here. Now people are like making up some sweet tricks to do while wearing them. This is gunna go far.

[cuethebirds]

already done, i back smithed my box using wet carpet as a run in with a hulahoop around me, sickkkkk

[NEFFsteeze]

already done, i back smithed my box using wet carpet as a run in with a hulahoop around me, sickkkkk

does a wet carpet work?

Well i did a double backflip over 25 stairs into a fs lipslide over a river while wearing a hula hoop.

[yawningisgood]

leg bags are awesome i hold all my stuff in them, and they are $60 because they arew handmade in the us by people who actually get wages, they arnt made in some malasia sweatshop like all the burton gear.

Come on now, still even if they are made in the US of A, 60$ for a stupid little bag that raps on your leg come on now(I bought my bad ass dakine heli bag for 60 dollars and that was well worth it). Hell most of the snowboarding pants and jackets these days already got a thousand pockets on them, so whats the point of putting your wallet, keys, phone, gum, lock, lollipops, and your shovel in one little dealio and combining all that weight to that one area your leg, when you can distribute it all evenly in the pockets that you already have and dont have to spend 60 dollars for hahaha. I think some people are just dumb and have to have it just cuz its new and there "oh my gosh i wont be a good boarder if i dont have it". Yeah well thats what i got to say about that... :twisted:

[cuethebirds]

i got one because i like travis parker, and it is very handy, i wear it off hill and carry around my money and keys in it when im chillin, its the best $20 ive ever spent

[Proximate Platypus]

Well I looked at this leg bag thing on airblaster. I thought it was going to be a large backpack-type dealie, but it's roughly the size of a wallet. A $60 wallet?? And I'm thinking in Canadian dollars. $60 American... I paid about that much for my Ride brand pants...
Just my two cents: the idea of a leg wallet/bag is handy, but the price is ridiculous. :P

I like the neon hula hoop idea. Neon is the new black. It's subtle, sophisticated... classic.. yeah

[NEFFsteeze]

Yeah neon is pretty sick. Man i can't even beleive this thread. I started it as a joke but i know somebody in here will take it seriosuly.

Maybe ill make a hula hoop with pockets on it so it can hold my stuff. That would be sick.

[Ace]

haha 4 sure... UnInc ur right somone probly will actually try it... cant u just imagine... in about 3 years youll go to summer camp @ mt hood and all youll c is hula hoops... o did u see that backside 9? no but damn hes workin that hula hoop!!! the pink is insane!! lol i can hear it now

[NEFFsteeze]

Yeah haha. I probly will try it coming up this season just to look stupid. But if this ever catches on it shows how stupid people are for thinking it is cool haha.

[kelly]

Yeah haha. I probly will try it coming up this season just to look stupid. But if this ever catches on it shows how stupid people are for thinking it is cool haha.
Let's just hope they think you're a jackass :)

[nitro_snowrider688]

Damn chill out. Go take some ridalin or heavy pain killers and calm down. For some weird reason i have a feeling that bright clothes aren't to trendy if the bright colors are retro colors. If anybody wears anything retro they do it to be funny not trendy

[Rubiks]

You guys are so behind... Hoola hoops are so hood summer session. Everybody that is anybody is rockin' lime green plaid patterned tap shoes instead of boots for the fall and winter.

[Fae]

hahahahahaha.

[nitro_snowrider688]

sorry i just think its gay........

[Benjb]

Nitro rider preaches truth, trends are gay. Just do what you want, and dont worrie about others.

[nitro_snowrider688]

indeed...............the truth...........hah.......at least someone agrees

[BoarderJ]

All you have to do is ride and have fun. That’s what a lot of snowboarding is about, having fun and at the same time pushing eachother. But if I saw a guy wearing a one piece neon green 80's snowsuit and bust out a 7 that would be some funny ****. If you take things too serious than maybe this sport isn’t for you. So think of some funny things you can do this season.

How about renting a banana costume and busting out some big airs.

[cuethebirds]

its all about the superhero little kids costumes and straight air tailfishes

[Rubiks]

Banana costume??? I personally am more of a 6' chicken costume type of guy

[NEFFsteeze]

Maybe ill wear my halloween costume from last year. I was a giant penis for halloween complete with balls. I wore it last year a couple times and eerybody thought it was hilarious.

[BoarderJ]

Now that would be some funny **** to see.

Another good one would be for night riding, you should put bike flashers all over your body, or maybe even a spinning light on your head.

[cuethebirds]

im gonna wear my crosscountry uniform over underarmor one day

[rideforum]

i love dropping my pants for the last run(out cold style)
it never gets old.

[thedude]

im gonna wear my crosscountry uniform over underarmor one day

you run XC? what's your average mile time?

lol, the giant penis. when people ask you to go big, you can say "well, i do have the balls to do it!"

[cuethebirds]

my avg mile time = 6:40ish i suck hahahahah

[kelly]

i love dropping my pants for the last run(out cold style)

But doesn't that make you call last run?

[cuethebirds]

maybe he doesnt bgelieve in that superstition

[kelly]

How can you not believe in that superstition? Gasp!

[cuethebirds]

because you touch yourself at night?

[kelly]

Uhhh... well that's an interesting direction to take with it...

[juliexdonk]

uhm soo wait hula hoops like the ones you spin around your waist and hold little kids contests for? How Do You manage that? wouldnt that get a tad bit in the way on lifts and all?:-|

[kelly]

yeah, it's a joke. although I'm assuming you'd just hold it on the lift.

[Forum_4ever]

1) The airbag/ tight pants **** is the gayest most retard thing that i've ever heard of.
2) It's 2005 not the 80's bro it might be funny if you do it every once in a while but.... yea.
3) I always call last run when its time to bounce go big or go home.

just my 2 cents if you don't like it go find some more of your sisters clothes to wear and think you cool.
p.s i always joke on those tight pant wearing emo kids

[kelly]

1) The airbag/ tight pants **** is the gayest most retard thing that i've ever heard of.

Wow, double political incorrectness. Very 14-year-old of you.
I'm not worried though, karma's gonna bite you in the ass one of those days when you call last run.

Best phrase ever!

[Forum_4ever]

thank you at least somebody agrees with my philosophy.

[Rubiks]

Hells Yes. Much props
And maybe we should start voting... LOL

[Forum_4ever]

yea somebody start a poll
1) my philosophy
2) the gayness
lol

[kelly]

Why can't your philosophy mesh with the gayness? Gays might like to go big too.

[Forum_4ever]

im voting opition #1

[thedude]

my avg mile time = 6:40ish i suck hahahahah

ig to you by a minuet, but i haven't been pushing myself when i run, so i think my miel time has slipped a little bit.

1)First what don't some people understand that using the word "gay" for a putdown or critisizing somthing deffinatly isn't cool.
2)It might be 2005 but do i care? no. Its called having fun and you deffinatly take it way to seriosuly/
3)Most people do call last run when the have to go. Thats why its called LAST RUN.

Just my 2 cents and if you don't like it go find some of your oversized gangster clothes to wear and think your cool.
p.s i always joke on those oversized baggy clothes wearing gangster kids.

[cuethebirds]

i hate everyone who associates emo with tight pants, you guys are all seriously the dumbest people ever

You're right about everything except the last run thing. You really shouldn't be calling it.... :)

Noooo! I'm so never snowboarding with you people. I'd break a leg or something.

[Satan]

come on Kelly, you live so close though.:cry:

[kelly]

You'd have to not call last run then! I'm superstitious. Do you ride summit county at all anyway?

[Satan]

yeah, we make trips all the time. it's nice to get out of the valley for awhile. you totally understand how it is sometimes. also it's nice to explore Mts. that i don't know like the back of my hand. i love Steamboat to death, but you understand.

Yeah, I especially used to ride a-basin a lot late season, cuz that's when it's awesome and everywhere else sucks. Ever go to winter park?

[Satan]

yeah, i have friends who used to live there. also the Powder Tools crew in WP are awesome to hangout with.

[kelly]

There's more than one Powder Tools? I never went to the one in steamboat, i usually went to The Click. Although, come to think of it, a guy from powder tools might have showed me the smoking hut at winter park, and then I ditched him, due to the whole being straightedge thing. Or maybe he worked for another snowboard shop.

[Satan]

yeah, it's our shop in Steamboat and Bruce's shop in WP.

[kelly]

Cool. I went into powder tools once cuz I lost a screw... Seemed like cool people there.

[Satan]

everyone there is awesome.

[kelly]

well, they gave me a spare screw anyway.. heh :)

No its not directed towards you. I was just saying the opposite of what you said. Like i just said stuff about the other 3 things so i had to complete it and think of somthing. BUt no its not at you but i see how it would sound like it.

[kelly]

I don't think oversized gangsta pants are the opposite of tight pants - aside from the fit, they're the same thing - a goofy looking thing for the trendy folk to do...
The opposite would be to wear pants that are actually designed for someone your size and gender. :)

[cuethebirds]

but thats were it comes into question, what pants are designed for a person? pants are designed in effect to a trend. they design pants pre ripped now, because its a trend, and the cuts on pants.

its all so confusing

[kelly]

yeah, well, I've told y'all how I feel about anything that comes pre-assembled to be trendy....

[NEFFsteeze]

what about some assembly required?

not really sure what that meant but it sounded good at the time.

[kelly]

Well, I mean, while kellen is wearing girl's jeans, he's still edgy, but if they come out with a line of girl's jeans for guys, he can know it's no longer cool. Like back in the 90's, when walmart started selling guy's jeans with the exposed top of the boxer shorts sewn into them... :)

[thedude]

The opposite would be to wear pants that are actually designed for someone your size and gender. :)

that woudl be me! they ain't big, they ain't tight, but the fit just right!

i know what you mean kellen with the per-destroyed jean craze going on. liek whihc low rise is the rightone, what the hell si the difference between boot cut and mens flairs, arn't pipes and straigth legs the same thing? to much crap otu there. it's liek comeone man, ther are panst you put them on so you don't get arrestes for walkign around in public wiht your junk hanging out.

how about thsi article from Maddox? (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=jeans)
it made sense to me what this crazy pirate is saying.

[cuethebirds]

i wasnt trying to emphasize the ripped jean thing, just saying :
what defines jeans that fit?
there is no definition of fitting jeans, its all personal preference, so stop hating on the tightness or bagginess of jeans, it doesnt matter, you are just making yourself look stupid

[kelly]

Oh, I wasn't saying I hate tight jeans or baggy jeans... I was just saying those are trends that establish themselves through variation from the norm - which is wearing jeans in the way that they were designed to fit. And there is a definition of fitting jeans, because each clothing item is designed to fit in a certain way.

[cuethebirds]

yes but give me a solid definition of "jeans that fit"

you cant right? because whatever you thought of as a definition is just your opinion on jeans that fit, and how you think it should be, which is completely different then what another person would say as a definition.

[kelly]

actually, there is a range which would be considered a standard fit - somewhat loose but still form fitting. For girls it's a bit tighter, but not skintight. For most jeans, if you buy your size, the jeans will fit within the same range, unless they are labelled "loose fit" or something. Sizes and fits are pretty standardized, otherwise it'd be really confusing to shop.
That is different from your personal style - you add style to things through variation from the standards.

[thedude]

there are just to many jeans out there. i decided i am goign to buy a roll of fabric and make my own pants.

[Satan]

im over it, jeans are now lame!

I disagree completely. I can buy my size from 10 different stores and maybe one of them will fit me. I'm just not built like most girls. I have a thin waist and a J-Lo booty and thighs. Shopping for pants is AGONY.

[Satan]

i have the same problems as a guy. i grew up playing ice hockey, so i have to buy bigger size pants to fit my legs and stuff.

[kelly]

I disagree completely. I can buy my size from 10 different stores and maybe one of them will fit me. I'm just not built like most girls. I have a thin waist and a J-Lo booty and thighs. Shopping for pants is AGONY.
Oh yeah, I have the same problem with fits - but there is an ideal fit that they're supposed to be shooting for (in a perfect world)

That's true for me, too... a good-fitting pair of pants that I like is quite rare.

i've decided that i am only wearign coudroys from nwo on. **** denim

That's true for me, too... a good-fitting pair of pants that I like is quite rare.

Lets hope not... life would be boring if women went straight up and down, wait a minute...

You ignore kellen? but he's so entertaining!

[e.]

hmmmph. kelly just lost one gold star.

[kelly]

Hey, Kellen's cool, as long as you don't take his wacky antics too seriously.

PS, did you notice I broke 1000 posts? Talk about nerdy!

[e.]

congrats!!!

how and when did i get so left behind?

[kelly]

Well, ignoring Kellen leaves out a lot of post opportunities cuz that boy posts in quantity :)

hmmmmph psssssah

[burnpianoxisland]

Legbags are mad chill.

[e.]

i never understood the legbag thing

[kelly]

It's like a purse for a boy. Duh, they need someplace to carry their lipstick and tampons!

[e.]

i know what it is. the idea just doesnt sound appealing to me

[kelly]

Yeah, I don't know.. personally I'm not sure how hot it is for a guy to be carrying more than can fit in his pockets. I'd worry that in regular life they'd be a fanny pack wearer.

[burnpianoxisland]

It's good for carrying a tool, wax, and other **** you might need to use on the mountain.

Plus it's fancy.

gaper! legbags are so gay. it's exactly what Kelly said. the fannypack of snowboarding. travis parker came up with the idea, it's one big joke and people are buying into the $60 legbag. we couldn't keep them on the shelves last season. it's seemed like the only people buying them were the 17 and under crowd. all of us at the shop would just make fun of them. it's really really gay to wear one. what do you need to keep in it that doesn't fit in your pocket. i mean they make little tools like the burton zip tool to fit anywhere. and who really carries wax on the mountain with them. because everyone knows that rub on wax is b.s. the only wax that works is hot wax. if i wore one of those, i would beat myself up!!!

[kelly]

Ooh, you should wear one, because I want to watch that.

[Satan]

i couldn't live with myself, ok, maybe for gaper day or halloween. you talking me into it. i'm a sucker for cool girls.

you hit that nail on the head thats what i said about 5 days ago:)

[SimonInAustralia]

Haha...fannypacks are so gay, I was just thinking that yesterday when I saw a guy wearing one...we call them bum bags over here.

In Japan a couple of years ago, the trend was to have a rock climbing chalk bag hanging off of your waist, along with a do-rag. What the ****? I asked someone what they have in it...keys/money/etc.

Trends are gay!

[Satan]

here in steamboat we call them fagbags!

[e.]

lmao...he said fagbag. lol

[snowboardnguy90]

stop talking about me....... lol.

yes trends are stupid... unless they aren't. =P.

[kelly]

here in steamboat we call them fagbags!
I always went with the old less offensive standby - ass packs

[snowboardnguy90]

u can't even fit anything in those anyway.

[kelly]

ass packs or leg bags?

[snowboardnguy90]

ass packs. U can only fit like keys, cash, and a cell... which is good enuff i guess...

[Satan]

depends if you're a sexy women or not. if you are a sexy woman, than ass pack all the way baby!

[kelly]

uh... what?
and they make ass packs in all shapes and sizes.

[snowboardnguy90]

backpacks are much more effective

[kelly]

Yep... down with the legbag, up with the backpacks. Or there are these things they call pockets.... They're handily built in to jackets and pants!

[snowboardnguy90]

the only bad thing about backpacks is that if u put too much in them they throw off ur balance. I pack light anywho... ipod, cell, and sum cash. Swiss army knife if i'm gonna do anything daring. lol

[kelly]

Yeah, and there's the possibility of embarrassing lift incidents. I've seen a few backpack-related lift incidents. Funny to watch though.

[e.]

my off brand camelpak got snagged on the lift during departure. that really sucked

[snowboardnguy90]

ouch... i remember the first time i went snowboarding i tried to ride a chairlift... and i was so short that it basically hit me in the tailbone (it was also a pretty high lift at the pickup). and this guy had to like drag me on cuz i was hanging onto the seat for dear life. That was pbbly one of the more embarrasing things in my snowboarding life... other than the trip down the hill that time hahahaha.

[thedude]

It's like a purse for a boy. Duh, they need someplace to carry their lipstick and tampons!

guys don't need tampons, silly. well, unless you dip them into Faygo Red Pop and throw at cars.

[SnoChica]

this is so not the place to talk feminie hygeine products.

[Satan]

thankyou Chica!!!

[thedude]

either way, the leg bags were just kinda dumb. that's why i have cargo pockets on my pants, plus the two back pockets and the two front zipper pockets, one with a key chain clip in it so i don't lose them.

it's even worse when you see kids wearig the leg bags whiel they have the cargo style pants! what's the ef'ing point in that?

[snowboardnguy90]

psh obviously you know nothing of fashion.

haha i know that's gay...

[thedude]

lol, damn right i know nothing of fashion! that's why i never dropped money on a leg bag, or basically any of that stuff. when it comes down to it, i am about function over fashion. so if somethign loosk cool, but does jack ****, it's gone. but if it is fashinable and functions above my expectations, then you know it is somethig i will look into.

[cuethebirds]

legh bags are super functional thats why i have 3!

a leg bag?

[cuethebirds]

well i guess im in that gay crowd with leg bags even though i have 3 and havnt payed more then $60 total for all 3 of them, so i guess maybe im not, because i havnt bought a legbag for $60
and i use mine when im walking around town cause stuff doesnt fit in my girls jeans pockets
and i also use it to hold extra lenses when im riding cause when it gets dark my orange chrome isnt exactly the best and i switch it out for yellow

[Satan]

my zipper!!!

lol you like that?

Wow i cannot beleive ive started such a popular thread. Look how succesful it is. I wonder whats the record for the longest thread on SBA?

yea this was on the last page so i revived it lol

[Forum_4ever]

page 19 wut?

[NEFFsteeze]

Yeah its all thanks to people arguing mostly haha. Cuz they keep arguing back and forth and it stops like 3 pages later. But then after its done they go back to the topic then 2 pages later another argument happens and so on and so forth.

[Forum_4ever]

Travis parker wants to quit airblaster and start riding with a hula hoop.

I am UnInc... I find this to be quite amazing since teh DC Mtn Lab vid wasn't even out yet... and lo and behold... TP was riding with a Hula Hoop!

Are you psychic?

EDIT: This post was started in August '05

[Fae]

When I saw Travis Parker with that hula hoop, I almost died laughing.

[TheDanger-Zone]

Personally I think most trends are a waste of my time. And anyone that pays $60 bucks for a dumb leg bag is a, well a fool with their money.

[SnoChica]

It's a sarcastic post on Hula Hoops! :)

Noticed this post from Kelly back in September last year, and then remembered how I saw Kelly's backpack taking a ride down and backup the chairlift after it got caught when we were unloading from the chair.

Haha ha!

Old posts are fun Simon.... I was reading them today... you should check some out. I think you'd laugh at some of the things we said in the summer.

[NEFFsteeze]

wow i thought that this post that i created sarcastically was stopped.

[SnoChica]

wow i thought that this post that i created sarcastically was stopped.
It was... then Fae and I were discussing how weird it was that you had sarcastically started it.. and there Travis Parker was with a Hula Hoop in the DC Mtn.Lab vid.

Nice work!

[NEFFsteeze]

no way? are you being serious cuz i havn't seen that video?

[SnoChica]

You should check it... awesome vid. I'll try to take a clip of that segment tonight though. I'll post here!

[NEFFsteeze]

well ya know what can i say. I can see trends before they happen. Hell i invented the child hood play toy "skip it" i used my time machine to do it. That is y i am a millionaire.

[TheDanger-Zone]

I will have to check that vid out Sno, and when I was reading through this thread there was one guy talking how great his leg bag was.... So that is why I said what I said Sno. And I stand firm about it. (trends are for hmmmmm how can I be nice about this, well I guess I can't). So I will not say it at all.
Now the hola hoop thing would be funny :laugh:

[EndeavorPaavo]

i wore a heli pack when i rode out west only cause i was told that you can get really dehydrated out there cause of the elevation so i carried water and some food and tools and my monopoly game jk lol. but screw the leg pack, whats it good for if ya ask me the thing is big enough for a pack of butts and a lighter if ya smoke and if ya dont well that a bag of something else. as said by snochica there a lot of funny incidents of people carrying stuff on the lifts. if ya ask me, if you can get to your car for something you need or get into the lodge there is no need for anything othere that the stuff to keep you warm and your board. any body agree

[TheDanger-Zone]

I agree to a point, if you are riding a larger resorts. A backpack is very handy,
and in back country it is a must.

[kelly]

WOW, hula hoops sound really FAGGY!!!!!! id have to kick my own ass if i wore that.

AIRBLASTER 4 LIFE!
Hahaha, I really hope you were being ironic.

[dirtyjerz]

this is ridiculous

[SnoChica]

You know... I don't know what people have against trends. They are what they are. If people think they are cool, then who are we to judge. Just because you disagree or dislike a trend doesn't give you the right to diminish it for others.

We were all young, or maybe we forget that. And part of being young is learning about who you are through experimenting with trends. And EVERYTHING is a trend of some sort, even the things that seem "not trendy". What I mean is, as a young adult, a trend is anything you follow because you want to be like something, someone or fit in somehow with some group.

So, can we refrain from judging people because they like bandanas or leg bags or hula hoops? I'm tired of the name calling, this is lame, that is lame... wtf people.

If you don't like it, say "It's not my thing." and MOVE ON. Stop criticizing others for what they see as fun and meaningful to them.

Rant over.

P.S. Most of these Trends, fads, and fashion statements are meant to be fun. Why is everyone so damn serious about everything?

[snowboardnguy90]

snowchica was definitely some wise monk in her past life.

i totally agree, even not fitting in with trends is becoming a trend. Too many people try to be original, when in trying to original they're fitting into the trend of trying to be different, when to truly be original is to just do/wear/say/buy whatever you want regardless on whether it's cool or not. Personally, i love bandanas, hate leg bags, pants, and goggle sag. i have an obsession with checkered accessories (sweatband, belt, ipod case). i say just do what you wanna.

If I think something is lame, I'm gonna call it lame. They can go on about how it's all fun and meaningful to them if they like, and I'm gonna call it lame if I like.

[kelly]

I don't think everyone is that serious anyway, snochica... the whole fun in trends is that we get to make fun of them and laugh at them... I certainly laugh at some of the trendy stuff I did when I was a kid.

[Proximate Platypus]

Now I kind of want to get that DVD... just to see the hula hoop part! But it's mostly a park video, right? Are there some backcountry bits?

[SnoChica]

I agree... I mean... wtf? Leg Warmers? But still... I just get the feeling that people get way too caught up in downing others. Just my opinion.

There are some backcountry hits... not big mountain riding though. It's just a really fun video regardless.

[jon1976]

I feel somewhat behooved to make a statement here myself. What I feel is there are people here who take an authoritive tone with people yet have been in the sport for about zero time. They have really no background knowledge to speak of, yet they always seem to be telling people what's what. I guess some people just like to feel above others.

I'm not talking about anyone in particular, just something i've noticed around the site. A bit of a drag.

[lubawyb612]

okay...so I was in the park at 7Springs one night this season and there was this guy dressed in a clown outift with a hula hoop around his waste catching huge air...not making this up!!!

[snowboardnguy90]

pretty soon they're gonna have pro model hula hoops.

The MFM gangsta hoop, 30 inch rim, perfect accessory for your nollie and butters.
Shaun White's pro model "flying tomato" hula hoop.
ok i'm done.

sorry, this is really stupid but what is a hoola hoop? you aren't actually talking about the kids toys are you?

[Proximate Platypus]

yesh. Kids' toys for the young at heart. :)

[Snow Wolf]

Okay....got to confess here.....I did something the other day just to get laughs....I got this killer halloween mask of the typical "grey" alien...well, me and a bud were riding so I put this thing on along with the funny 3 fingered hands and rode down a crowded run....it was hysterical! People were laughing their asses off! I wonder how many people crashed gawking at this freaky alien hauling ass down a run on a snowboard! Sometimes its just fun to clown around.

[Fae]

Did you take pictures??

I love seeing people just having fun like that... We should all do something silly one day! Pull out some old bridesmaids dresses... Halloween Costumes.... whatever.

[Snow Wolf]

Did you take pictures??

No, the weather was horrible.....its Oregon....but I am going to do this again when its nice out and I`ll get a bud to snap a picture!

[snowboardnguy90]

yea we should have a national costume day for snowboarding.

and chica, MFM only goes platinum... =P

Well... excuse me then... Platinum it is.

[SnowGeek]

Last Friday, I saw a boarder dressed in an all-red outfit with a purple cape. I've no idea what that was about.

[thedude]

oh snap! i got the best costume! it's this tiki mask, a grass skirt, and oen of thsoe plastic butts that has the ties on it so you tie it around your waist...
aloha, biatch!

[snowboardnguy90]

haha that's great.

i have this alien getup. i know the mask will fit but i'm not sure about the rest of the costume.

[IceCoastChick]

I've seen someone with a captain america outfit, apparently he also has a batman and a spiderman outfit too.

I think the SBA crew that always goes on trips should get SBA jumpsuits made. haha.

[Snow Wolf]

I also have a wicked wolfman mask....wife said I need to wear that for a photo and really be the "Snow Wolf" haha!

[sheil21ob]

I love seeing people just having fun like that... We should all do something silly one day! Pull out some old bridesmaids dresses... Halloween Costumes.... whatever.

well, we've only got Sunday left..... I've got a 6 foot black wig... might be kinda dangerous...

my old boss in CO would ski in a chili pepper costume he had specifically made for that purpose so he could advertise his mexican restaurant on the mountain... getting around intrawest property rules...
now tourists get their pictures taken with him.. he's a regular "naked cowboy"

[snowboardnguy90]

lmao that's a sweet idea.

[snobug]

I'm so out of the loop, I finally looked up the airblaster bag to see what it was. I haven't seen anyone wearing them on the slopes or maybe just haven't noticed. They seem kind of silly, especially for 60 bucks?! And they remind me so much of the 80's! The only thing good about the 80's was the music.

[SimonInAustralia]

They seem kind of silly, especially for 60 bucks?!Not 'kind of'...Totally!!!

[kelly]

what do you mean? $60 is a perfectly reasonable price for a fanny pack for your leg... I mean you may be thinking normal fanny packs are like $20, but this one is for your LEG. Duh. ;)

[SnoChica]

OK... I have to say that yes the LegBags are not what I'd wear.

HOWEVER... I can see a purpose, especially during spring riding when the weather is nice and you don't need a jacket. Very hard to carry anything with you in just your pants pockets. (Which I only have 2 small ones in my spring pants)

[snowboardnguy90]

my snowboard pants have pretty big pockets.

[snobug]

or if you're snowboarding naked...then they'd be quite useful to carry all that sunscreen. Isn't there a naked hiker or someone on this forum?? ;)

[CustomRider13]

forget the leg bag trend, I'm wearing my whitey tighty's on the outside. That's gonna be the new trend next season.

[SnowGeek]

I think the new trend is going to be capes (like my avatar). I've already seen one boarder wearing one.
