Riding While Drinking / Drunk

[madcatbrad]

Don't drink and snowboard, not only doe sit hurt liek hell, you spill your precious alcohol a lot easier, so be safe, and get ****ed up after the day is over. peace everyone.

yours truly,
Brad

[snoboardonacid]

what about drinking on the ski lift ride up? and then falling all over the place? hehe.

[xvcottonvx]

Ok so i live in germany and i just went to solden glacier in austrian last month. well the way up there we got wasted in the van and woke up hungover from hell, i think i ride best hung over cuz i always do my best runs then. well we went out the next night after boarding and got really wasted again well there was 2 shots of vodka and some sprite in our hotel room when we woke up so on our way to the van to take us up the mountain me and chuck did our shots, then when we got up there we each did 2 shots of tequilla... wow that was one of my worst boarding days ever! dont' be drunk while boarding!!! hung over is ok but drunk is bad my wrist still hurts from when i fell.

[gerard]

I agree, don't drink and snowboard..... Bring a flask, fill it with jager and save it for the lift. :D

[VOLCOMchick912]

never went drinkin b4 boading. and from ur stories.. i dont wanna try it!! :lol:

[xvcottonvx]

fag

your a bitch

[HunnyRaver]

drinking and riding is so dumb!!
even if ur doing it on the mtn at all! wtf
dont do it at all.. someone can really get hurt :(

[gerard]

well, there is a big difference between having a beer or two and getting really wasted...

[CrazyOldFart]

Meet you all at the Hex II bar at Mtn Creeks Vernon base, AFTER a day of boarding. I'll even buy the first round.

Cheers!

[redace24]

well, there is a big difference between having a beer or two and getting really wasted...

Yeah if you only have a beer or two it just makes you a little braver. You aren't really risking hurting yourself or anyone else.

[bigwheelingman]

i totally agree with the beer or two thing i would do that

[STUMAC]

ride hard during the day ... then drink your self silly at night ... in the jaccuzi if possible ... makes all those tight spots of riding another days problem haha

[johngchrist]

[B]humm well i heard this story once about this guy who kept his liqued warmth in a metal flask on an outside pocket and it was pretty cold out. so when he took a swig it pretty much froze his throat. just what i heard. if your going to do it right you got to make it hard. beers are for tailgaiting befor and after the ride inbetween is the flask. Things allways seem alot more humorus at the end of the day when your fallin all over the place. just watch out for that tree or is that a skier. try not to make a habbit out of it thought maybe once a month if that but if your going to ya better do it right!

RIDE drunk

[christine]

it's nice to have one or two shots of schnaps during the day to warm your belly up :)

[C-RadoEmily]

i like drinking guinness in like, the middle of the day. it's like beer milkshake, wonderful stuff...

[BLADE2005]

After a couple runs in the morning, gotta stop by the bar and have a beer, do a couple more runs, have another beer, have lunch with a beer...well, you get the point. Being drunk on the mountain is definitely not cool. Gotta be able to handle yours! 8)
St. Anton Austria has a couple of bars that are located right at the edge of the last hill, so everyone ends the day and hits the bars up, drinks, drinks and drinks!!! It's a great party! Then you gotta get down the last hill with only a little bit of lighting. It's not a steep hill so the risk of injury is very minimal. It's a trip!! It's pretty spread out too. Gotta check it out if you're ever there!!

[P0Wdr]

Nothing tastes better than a beer with lunch on a sunny day of riding. It is a good idea to steer away from shots until after the days over - IMO

[SnoChick]

Somehow, I always seem to do better in the pipe after lunch... maybe it has something to do with that beer at lunch?

[gerard]

yeah, liquid bravery :)

[board_chicky]

We have never drank and borded, but once we went into the lodge to eat and have some drinks while we waited for some friends to show up... my b/f drank alot I guess and it took him forever to get down the mt he said he fell so much he walked half way down. lol I was alright i think i was better...

[sun kissed snow bunny]

drinking and riding?
besides it increases the chance of injuries, not only crashing ( can we say man slaughter?) you increase the chance of tearing a muscle. save it for the nightlife. why do you think their are so many smokers on the hill? much safer. unless you are on the bunny hill, than go ahead get wasted, you will fit in better.
and to the kid who keeps on calling everyone a fag........ go get drunk and ride really really fast....... into a tree buddy.

[Agour9]

usually if i go to the mountain, my friends will throw a couple beers in my truck, im not a big fan of drinking at the mountain, but ive done it b4, its fun.

[sun kissed snow bunny]

big difference between a couple beers and 'drinking'. i think everyone is adults here and can determine the difference. if its all about a 'couple' of beers, i think you can pretty much do anything that you could do without. assuming were not communicating with light weight. hehe

Drunken boarding... done it before

I prefer drinking after a long day of boarding and then getting ****y. Boarding the next day is great if you wake up in time. A few beers during lunch helps your food go down better and makes for a good afternoon. I've been offered a flask on the chairlift during a freezing day by some cool skiers. Not all skiers are tool bags.
During one Friday afternoon I was heading bach to my car in teh Mt. High parking lot and all these clowns were tailgating with their Coors Light 30 packs and getting "smashed." Driving home on dark mtn. roads is real cool after your 12 beers deep. Can't knock anyone for driving after some beers but driving home from the mountains is way different.

[dark rabbit]

Can give you a psychological perspective on it if ya want.......
Basically, with one or two beers the influence would depend on your riding abilities. It may aid people who knoe what they are doing, but for beginners it will make them worse. Sort of the same influence as audiences have. I think that after one or two drinks it does start to impair performance. Wow, who would have thought uni stuff could be relevant to everyday life???

[RoXyGrL12]

drinkin and boarding is stupid but if u dont like take down like 10 shots before u go then i think your fine...2 shots i nothin but more u could seriously get hurt

[SimonInAustralia]

I don't drink, but enjoy other substances.

I have hurt myself a couple of times after being too stoned, too many bongs first thing in the morning or at lunch.

Riding on acid is fun though.

dont do it at all.. someone can really get hurt :(


yeah, i agree its dumb, only sip on some **** from a flask. to keep you warm

[postedonurchin]

i drink before i hit the mountain. is that a bad thing? i kind of like pounding a six pack before i go up. i guess its like a pre game ritual. i like the way it kinda kills a nervous edge you can get. is that wrong, smoking or drinking before you go up?

[e.]

i dont , but alot of ppl do drink or smoke while the ride. there is already a thread like this but i cant remember what it was called.

[postedonurchin]

really.. i didnt see one, oops!!!!

[brzpunk]

meh, getting a little bussed is cool but nething more is just stupid to me when ridin..
king of the mountain kikz ass though :)

[SCboarder11]

im goin to be drunk in an hour and countin

yeah thats what i was talking about. that **** helps out so much to me. even if i am sober and say **** it i am goin for it. there is something in the back of my mind asking me what the **** im doin. i think the buzz locks that little guy in the closet and tells him to think about what he's done...

[SnoChica]

really.. i didnt see one, oops!!!!
At the very bottom of this post is an area for "similar threads" and the other one is there.

[postedonurchin]

ahhh thanx... good lookin out.

[dontxstopxme]

it's kinda good because it keeps you warm but you shouldn't get so wasted you can't walk...

what i really don't trust is drunk skiiers... because i don't want a drunk old man flying down a mountain waving pointy sticks at me

[LillDragun]

you only feel warm. you're actually not getting or staying warm. you're loosing your body temp as the alcohol goes through your body. cause the makes your blood vessels rise closer to your skin and you "feel" warm but your body temp drops a lill. so you should be careful not to drink too much, if any.
also we all know what alcohol does to people's reaction times. so i wouldn't advise drinking when or before boarding. also i'm not sure if it does anything to your muscles when you drink and exercise, but i've always steered away from alcohol when/before exercising.
if you want to kill the egde, then do something relaxing before you go out. take deep breaths, drink some herbal tea or something. just don't risk the well being of other people out there on the slopes trying to enjoy themselves or especially the unexperienced riders out there. be resposible guys.
you may think it's all fun and games but it's pretty dangerous. these boards aren't made of plastic or rubber. it's hard fiberglass, wood, and metal. they, i mean you can do some serious damage to someone.
so be resposible out there. i know i sound like a kill joy, but i'm just givin my opinion about safely out there. i love boarding, and i also enjoy drinking. but just like driving, i don't think boarding and drinking mix well.
thats just my 2 cents.

[e.]

amen dragun

[Fae]

No way would I mix the two. A guy I used to ride with tried to convince me of the benefits of riding drunk ("Carving is so easy and natural!") but I refused to do it. When he went with me, he would stay sober and then say things like "Wow, I haven't landed a jump that well in ages."

Drinking after riding is a different story.

[e.]

he went with me, he would stay sober and then say things like "Wow, I haven't landed a jump that well in ages."



i wounder why that is

[Fae]

Yes well, he was an idiot. Actually, he probably still is.

[Auburnproud7]

Please do the drinking after the boarding. Don't ruin it for me or anyone else out there. Have fun and enjoy the thrill of the mountain itself. If you need the liquor to take the edge off in order to do some trick, it's probably not a trick you need to do anyway. No problem with drinking, just be responsible.

Other than that, I'm ready for the season.

[aCuTeSnOwBoArDeR]

I'm with LilllDragun on this one...it's not exactly the smartest thing to do

[cjkarrasch]

Drinking or smoking while riding is way lame. I'm sick of hearing the whole excuse about how it takes the edge off and you are not afraid. Are you guys seriously that afraid of snowboarding that you are ***** unless you are wasted? If you have to be faded before you do something then you aren't a good enough rider to be doing it in the first place.

[xsone]

drink, smoke, do whatever ya gotta do man- we are the snowboarders of the mountain, why dont we at least keep the stereotypes alive and party while we play

[thedude]

two things: Red Bull and Kettle One vodka, mix it half and half in a pint glass, and chug. there is a fun time right there

[thedude]

i forgot to add, do it after you ride. there we go, i was responisble for once, give me an award. jk

[LillDragun]

wow i'm glad there's people that agree with me. i just find the people that put the lives of other people second to drinking or smoking while boarding retarded and selfish. if you wanna drink or smoke or whatever, do it after a good day of boarding. thats how you take the edge off. be safe out there everyone.

[thedude]

be safe out there everyone.
ex-f***ing-actly. there is no point being wasted before riding. smoking though, if someoen wants to enjoy a cig before hand, let them. granted it still does have an effect on people, it is not nearly as crazy as what alcohol does to you. the oen thign though that i would punch somoen for doign is using dip while they ride. i don't want to be in the park and see somebody spitting black **** out on the hill

[Xixist]

I work nights and i have to work my ass of then i go boarding when I get off work. i buy a beer when i get off work. and then dont open it until i get up to the mountain. then I slowly drink it as I get ready. it isn't to make me less nervous for riding cause the mountain is the one place I am truely free. I drink the beer to calm down after work cause I am usually stressed out. after I drink my beer i buy a cup of coffee and drink that before I go up the mountain. then dont drink anymore beer until i get home that night.

[kelly]

That's kinda interesting that you drink a beer to calm down, and then have a cup of coffee....
I don't drink and ride, but I don't drink.

[Maya Simone]

i don't think it's so bad if you can handle your alcohol.

[xsone]

and by the way im not sayin it takes the edge off, im sayin its harder and more challenging-and im not talkin about gettin ****faced either

[CarvingGloryDays]

As long as your responsible enough to do it, and your not an idiot. Also if your not uber trashed then it's cool

[Slick Ric]

dude, not only does drinking take off the nervous edge, the buzz gives you the feeling like youre a beginner again. even tho you know how to ride already its sooo fun because its like a snowboarding handicap...

...hmmm now i wanna try snowboarding with beer goggles!!

~Sick Ric

[Kristy]

I'm not so sure if I see how riding like a beginnner again is a good time, I sure as hell don't want to spend my day falling on my tailbone and knocking the wind out of myself, but if that's how you get yer jollies, so be it!

LillDragun is absolutely right about the warmth/alcohol illusion - you only feel warm because the warmth is rising to your skin (it's called vasodilation), where it then escapes your body. Not a smart thing to drink 1st.

I've been known to sometimes have a Sam Adams with lunch, then continue boarding for the rest of the day. It's more of a day off/relaxation thing then a catching a buzz before I ride alittle more thing, sit back and relax with a beer, like you might while painting a fence - you're not going to get schnockered while painting your fence because it might come out looking like, ha, you were drunk while you painted it, but a nice cold beer sure hits the spot. Aside from that, though, I just can't see how it's a good idea on all fronts - unpredictable skiiers, little kids, the drive home, all of it - why compromise yourself?

Stay safe, save it for later!

[trsnowklutz]

i've never drank before hitting the slopes.. im a klutz enough and dont need to have anymore reason to break my bones.. as for smoking.. i do think its rude to smoke while on the life.. i hate the smell of smoke.. and make it rather noticable when someone is smokin near me (as in coughing rather loudly or just bluntly saying that im going to get Emphysema from second hand smoking! lol )

[thedude]

As long as your responsible enough to do it, and your not an idiot. Also if your not uber trashed then it's cool

exactly! it's all a responsibility issue. granted there are not that many people out there wh are responsible enough, but if you kniow your limits and respect them, as well as thsoe around you, then there are no problems

[Kob0724]

First of all, isn't it a little hard to be responsible when ur drunk? I mean, we all do stupid things when we're drunk right? I think it's just a risk thats not worth taking. Plus, its a proven fact that alcohol is going to slow down ur reaction time and that could mean the difference between hitting and not hitting that other snowboarder/skiier. I think its just a good idea to wait till after. I mean, is it really that big of an inconvience for you to drink after your done? And anyone who says that "Then I drink some coffe to take the edge of the alchol" is full of ****. Nothing can spead up the alchol clearing ur system. Infact, by snowboarding, you actually make it take longer for the alchol's effects to wear off because instead of the oxygen going to ur liver to get rid of the alchol its going to ur muscles.
Secondly, on the issue of smoking, thats just plane rude. Personally, I think its a bad habit and should be done period, but thats me. However, I do think that you should be repsectful of these opinons and save the smoking for off the mountain. Some people have really bad lungs/asthma and don't need that extra strain. Just as with the alcohol, safe it for when ur done. It's not that hard right? Its just the poliet and respectful thing to do. Alot of people don't like the smell and it's bad for them. If you wanna smoke thats ur decsion, but don't force it upon other people.

Lastly, you can have a ****load of fun with out alchol or cigs. Keep that in mind. There's plenty of safer and more respectful alternatives. It makes all snowboarders look better when we make good decsions. So don't ruin it for the rest of us.

[The Voice]

Well, drinking on the mountian and being completly ****-faced on the mountain are two tottaly different concepts.

I enjoy drinking on the mountian it keeps me relaxed and boost the confidence a little.

But as far as sitting at the bar taking shots of rum one after another until I can hardly walk....I'll wait till I'm ready to call it a day.

To sum it up.....I drink on the mountain, I don't get drunk on the mountain.

[Xixist]

I never said that I drink coffee to take the edge off of the alcohol. i said I drink one beer when I get ready to relax after a hard nights work. then drink a cup of coffee to wake myself up sense I am usually up for 24-36 hours when I go snowboarding after I get off work. And if it makes you mad that somone is smoking next to you all you have to do is politely ask them to move and most people will if your not a jack ass about it like caughing loudly. I am a smoker and try to respect the people around me when I smoke and if someone asked me if I could step off to the side i would. cause personally I do think it is rude to smoke around people that dont like it

[IamMeandYouareToo]

i like to smoke a blunt or 3 when im up at the mountain, ridin high gets me way more in tune with the mountain, as for drunk ridin, i think id be able to do it, but not very smooth lookin.

[PansSiren]

There have been times when me and my friends have gotten lost in the trees because we had no clue where we were since we were so messed up. Some of our worst spills were because we were drunk or high. But man, its FUN AS HELL. We usually start drinking in the parking lot, order shots at the bar before we go up, smoke a bowl on the way down, and then hit the flask on the lift again.

If I were to go to a mountain on a busy day, no, I most likely wouldnt do this. But the mountains we go to are HUGE and very uncrowded. (Colorado)

[The Voice]

Must be nice!!!

[Shredrider01123]

na , not a good idea, i mea n like a buzz is okay , but deffinatly don't get trashed , cus being trashed and riding down a mnt at highspeeds, hitting jumps,rails....etc . does not mix lol

[postedonurchin]

riding trashed is dumb. but drinking a few... definitely takes the nervousness out of riding. confidence in a can, if you drink too much you get sloppy and it makes it harder to control yourself. smokin bowls is cool too, because you dont exactly get drunk. you are more concious when getting drunk. for those of you who are saying it is a bad thing to drink on the mountain. more power to you, it sounds like you might have an issue with controling yourself.....

[thedude]

i agree with waht was said about there being a drink, and then diofference of getting drunk. getting drunk is the dumb idea, but one beer isn't goign to do anything to you, unless you are a real fly-weight. cigs on the hill, the only rerason why most smokers act liek asshoels when they smoke is because peole act like asshoels to them while they smoke. if you are just polite, we'll be polite back and either move away and finish quick or we will put it out if oyu are just cool about it.

but pot on the hill... if i ever see one person doign that when i am at the hill, **** will hit the fan. legal substances i don't mind, but illegal **** pisses me off. and before any body bring up the "we should legalize becuase other countries have legalized it," they are only getting half the story, yeah, it is legal to smoek it, but the law has restrictions on what those popel can do if they smoke dope. they are nto allowed to drive or anything liek that, and can only smoke in designated locations liek their home, or the shops they buy it form. if caught voiding any of the laws, they are placed under arrest, or get a heavy ticket. my cousin didn't come back from Amsterdam wiht a $2,000 dollar fine for no reason. rental car + pot = ruined vacation.

Thank you for backing me on the whole politeness issue with the smoking thing. I hate it when people are asses about me having a cig. i dont throw my butts all over the mountain and dont smoke on the lift. I try to be polite about it so I expect people that dont smoke to be polite in asking me to move or put it out. thank you

[volcomsno]

ahh shaddap about pot whats teh big deal hit the pipe on the lift hotbox a gondola wheres the problem its all in good fun snowboarding shouldnt have rules its not a reffered sport do whatu wanna do to have a good tim eur way just dont go over board

[thedude]

there is more to me disiking pot than just my political views about it. one too many times i have seen kids in my school f*** me over, and f*** themselevs over more when they were high. me and my bro both have tried it at some points, just to see what it was like, and we btoh found basically no purpose for it. if you want somethign to take the edge off, you can find other alternatives. either pop some muscle relaxers after the day is over, or go burn an inscense stick. plus why would anybpdy put that much money down on something that they need to hide form others outside of the select group they do it with? not to mention you are just doiong the same thing wiht cigarettes, you are just burning your money away, except more? plsu buying pot doesn't help pay taxes that the state needs to pay for law enforcement, road construction, and variouse other things to keep everyone and everything going smoothly.

the only time i see pot as ok is if you get your for medicinal purposes on a subscription. the only good thign i see about pot is that it is able to cure some ailments that other medcines have failed. but as a lesure time thing, it is just pointless.

unless someoen can tell me how pot benifits society and your local government, and find me some good points other than it's medicinal purposes, then i am not going to support the idea at all.

[Dragoness0514]

I have friends that do that. Have like 1-2 beers before they head up and they say it relaxes them completely. I probably wouldn't be able to do it .. I'd probably freak out and face plant it.

pot doesnt benefit society... but niether does taking pain pills, especially if it is not prescription. which makes it just as illegal as pot. and pot isnt addicting like percocet, or vicadin, or oxycotin. you may kill some brain cells, but your not killing anyone by drinking and driving. pot has more of a point to it than cigarettes do. after you have been smoking for a while, you lose the buzz and it is then pointless to smoke. but you do anyways, because cigarette companies put addictive things into cigs to keep you coming for more. and the government allows it! so what has the government done to benifit you, not a whole lot. poverty is through the roof. i agree with you about it not helping out society, but if they lagalized it, they would have a perfectly taxable cash crop. one good reason to do it, because you like it. its not addicting, and it is safer than alcohol. when i have kids i would much rather catch my kids smoking pot, than drinking alcohol. think about what the government is doing for you, that they arent doing for themsleves with their 250,000 dollar salaries, and fringe benifits. the system is corrupt my friend. it is time to live your life your way. if you chose not to smoke marijuana, more power to you. but you cant talk some stuff about people who do, it is their right even if it is illegal. god gave man free will.

You made a bit of a logical jump there - from "muscle relaxers" to illegally obtained prescription pain pills. He coulda meant advil.

[e.]

I agreed with point that pot doesn’t benefit society. But the same with alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and all illegal drugs. We tried to ban alcohol already with the prohibition and it failed. What do expect of a nation recreated through rebellion. Just because pot is not physically addicting doesn’t mean it doesn’t ruin peoples lives still. You wrote, “. you may kill some brain cells, but your not killing anyone by drinking and driving.” I am just going to give u the benefit of the doubt that u made a typo, but then again u do work for government so who knows.



“pot has more of a point to it than cigarettes do. after you have been smoking for a while, you lose the buzz and it is then pointless to smoke” its obvious that u have never really smoked. Smokers don’t smoke for the buzz. You smoke for the nicotine. Nicotine gives u a huge boost of energy, like caffeine and cocaine. In fact, per weight nicotine is more powerful and more deadly then cocaine. And about the additives to nicotine was once thought to be an improvement because they were designed to remove the pesticides from the tobacco leaves. These additives are unhealthy, but they are less harmful then the pesticides and in the small quantities that they are used the FDA deems them safe. Then other additives are added. Like chocolate, for flavor.



“so what has the government done to benifit you, not a whole lot”, well other than give u your job to support your life, its not really in their job description. The Government’s roll in society is to protect the boarders from invading armies and … wait… no, that’s it. Don’t believe me, go read the Constitution, again. It wasn’t until FDR that society had expectations on the government. This is an example of how spoiled we are. This is more like a daycare center then capitalism. Adam Smith would have killed himself if he wasn’t already dead.



“poverty is through the roof. i agree with you about it not helping out society, but if they lagalized it, they would have a perfectly taxable cash crop”. Do you expect people to buy weed with their welfare or tax return checks? Poverty is not “through the roof” its actually getting better. Its been slowly getting over the last 6 or 7 years. What is sad is the reason why the economy is improving. 9\11 helped boost the economy a lot. They very thing that hurt us is not feeding us. War does cost money, but when u market it and contract it out, u make money. Oh the beauty of capitalism.



True that if u legalized pot u could tax the **** out of it. Is it worth it, probably not. Everyone would high all the time, just like how everyone is drunk all the time. We should not need drugs or chemicals to enjoy our lives. And when u are high u don’t even remember anything, so what’s the point in that. I understand getting high is just to get high. I spend almost half my life high, I know what drugs are like and I know how much more I can do now that I am sober and clean. I now know how much I hurt my friends and family and myself and I was too high to notice at the time.



“when i have kids i would much rather catch my kids smoking pot, than drinking alcohol.” You want your kids high, that fine then. I don’t even want your kids to end up working for my kids. Your kids can like make my incorrectly made burger at the local burger shack.



“think about what the government is doing for you, that they arent doing for themsleves with their 250,000 dollar salaries, and fringe benifits. the system is corrupt my friend”. Dude its true 250,000 is a lot, but most of them made more money before they were president. And remember, we live in a democracy, so that salary figure represents our

appreciation and most importantly, our representation as a whole. You don’t like well there is a lot u can do about it. Start by putting down that bowl and getting off your lazy ass, reread the constitution so u understand your rights as an individual citizen and work from there. Then write letter, organize groups, contact your need to, and remember vote carefully during elections. All elections, not just the Presidential ones.





“it is their right even if it is illegal. god gave man free will.” No its not. Not if its against the interest of society or the government. They and we do have the power to change things. And don’t give me that god crap. The religion card is way to easy to play. Religion has no purpose in government, capitalism, business, or economics.



I told there was a lot that I didn’t want to go on and bitch about. U asked for all this babble.

i feel like i was overly nasty to Postedonurchin and came back to appolgize for not entirely respecting his opinions in his post.

[thedude]

ok, if i knew it was going to lead to this, i might have nto said ****. my main point was because it isn't leagl to eb a taxable crop, it doesn't benfit society at all. and the after effects of it, and side effects in the brain, give me more reason to not endorse the idea of smokign pot as a leasure activity. i tried to fidn a picture of a brain that has been CAT scanned, so that way you can actually see the holes created in the brian tissue do to regular smoking. and basically they don't regerate themselves and fill the gaps if you quit for good.

and the system has been corrupt for years, everyone knows that. we were the ones who initially put Saddam Hussain in power, and we protected Alqueda during the mid 90's. hell, we actually funded them, and look what happens. 9/11 was the turnign point for the government ot gain more conrtiol over people's lives, as was given to them in the Patriot Act. this is all besides the issues at the table right now. but until pot is leaglized, i see no poitn in doing it outside of it being used for only extream cases of illness, where you can actually buy it in a big tin, hundreds of prerolled joints, and get this, from the government. so they actually have onyl made it legal under ceratain medical conditions, and the government is the onyl one who can let you do ti. my g/f has a freind whos dad had to do that for these back aches he used to get becuase of a hti he took back in high schoolplaying football. actually cured hsi liong itme pain, but his doctor has noted a slight delay in his reaction timming. most likely a permanant delay.

[Xixist]

Nice post e. if you wouldn't have done it I would have.

[e.]

and the system has been corrupt for years, everyone knows that. we were the ones who initially put Saddam Hussain in power, and we protected Alqueda during the mid 90's if the system is corupt its only do to human nature and on both sides of the arguement. and as for saddam and the middle eastern thing, i think that the US just needs to stop creating allias with the intent of betraying them. and its not just in the middle east. it happen throughout vietnam, ww1 and 2 and i am sure a lot more other wars that i dont know to much about.

[kelly]

The problem is that the CIA keeps putting people in power thinking that they'll be able to control them, and they always seem to turn into insane dictators. You'd think they'd learn their lesson.

That's so off the topic of alcohol tho. Maybe I should say something to try and reel it back in. Ummmm..... nope, being straightedge doesn't give a girl much to say on the booze topic....

[G's Lover]

i drink before i hit the mountain. is that a bad thing? i kind of like pounding a six pack before i go up. i guess its like a pre game ritual. i like the way it kinda kills a nervous edge you can get. is that wrong, smoking or drinking before you go up?

it's kind of a do what you want situation, but i prefer to have fun w/o any of that. the "high" from doing something better and picking up something new feels amazing to me, and it's been sober so far.

you are SO cool!!!!

i want to be just like you!

disclaimer: I read the first post, nothing more.

Jagermeister = halfpipe fuel, also helps in the park. I don't regularly drink before riding, but I'm heavily hungover more than half the time I'm on the mountain, and "tipsy" probably about 1/5 of the time. I know my limits, I respect the people around me, and I don't cause any problems. I'm also a veteran drunk and a veteran rider, so I might be a little more responsible than the average joe. I give myself a self-imposed speed limit when drinking.

I don't smoke anymore, but I used to ride reefed and had no fun at all... it turned me into a sissy on the board.

[electricmisfit]

i don't have to drink to board.. i perfer about five beers or soo.. mabe it's just me?? i do fine and it's my thing, aposted to smoking MJ.. i try not to get down like that. but i also have two other friends that can ride under the influence of alcohal/MJ or both and maintain steezz.

[shredFAND]

Drinking and riding don't mix. Maybe a drink or two to take the edge off. If you can't hardly walk from the lodge to the lift, go home and sleep it off. Cause if your drunk ass plows into me, your gettin' beat down!

[electricmisfit]

beer + riding = me

Damn, you're hungover that much? That's a lot.

[SpottyFish]

I generally don't drink and snowboard, but my husband and I *may* end up in the bar once in ahwile and have a beer (but one is all i'll have).

[kelly]

Just 5 beers?

[Markus Aurelius]

a couple beers gives me a nice body buzz to board with, but nothin' more than that for me. personal favorites are coors light or so co. i like to smoke in backcountry with whoever i'm riding with. i like how the lighter atmosphere on the mountain makes your high stronger off less pot. as for the people who ranted against pot, for whatever reason: illegality, lack of social contribution (1st time i'd heard that by the way), friends f*cking you over (which i'm just gonna guess means they forgot to pick you up from somewhere???), or killing brain cells, being high's fun. i totally agree that's it's bad for you. it's a drug. so's alchohol. they're both bad for you, but i really don't care. and for the illegality i have two words: "victimless crime." we know what we're doing to ourselves. there's no corporate marketing scheme trying to cover it up, there's just tons and tons of advertisement about the negative effects. so we know what they are. the whole "this is your brain", *slam egg with pan*, "this is your brain on drugs."

sorry, that wasn't supposed to be a rant, i was just rambling cuz i was stuck at work and bored out of my mind.

haha yeah just five beers or sooo.. beerbong/shotgun/chugging.. all of thee above

[Benjb]

I Get So Wasted!!!

[powder1978]

...i don't want a drunk old man flying down a mountain waving pointy sticks at me

pointy sticks? never did figure out how to use those damn poles..maybe that's why I took to snowboarding so quickly


my dad used to tell the story of the first time we went skiing when I was 2 in AK...the bunny slope had that lil pull rope with the knots, and my lil hands weren't big enough to hold both the poles nad the rope..so I threw em down, grabbed hold a the rope and never looked back ;)

[Fae]

They gave you poles that young? When i learned to ski (I think I was 6) I didn't have poles...I don't remember getting them until I was maybe 9.

That's a cute story though.

[thedude]

what do ski poles do anyways? i see people ski without them all the time. i can undestand fro XC sking, they help pull you forward because jsut runign liek that on skis will get you where. btu if oyu are goign down hill, then wtf? and if they get stuck, they just angle their feet out and act liek they are ice skating.

[Fae]

They're for out-of-control skiers to wack snowboarders in the head with, of course.

[thedude]

then that's what my helmet is for, problem solved

[powder1978]

haha, well this was almost 25 years ago, long before snowboarding existed. they're used for aiding in getting back up, traversing on steeper slopes, etc..that's all I can think of....I started the whole 'No Poles' thing...I think you all owe me some royalties :)

[smallshovelhead]

i definatly think its great to get a good buzz going before going out there but only if you know you can keep the buzz going all day long i hate comin down from a nice buzz and still having half a day to ride

[kmac32]

ya, as long as i have 2 or 3 joints, or one monster blunt to smoke on the lift, i think ill be set for the day

[kelly]

Damn stoners! The bouncing souls wouldn't be proud of you.

[kmac32]

nah they wouldnt mind, the drummer smoked on stage at warped tour 03 in sacramento

[The Voice]

Where the hell is Auburn??

[kmac32]

about an hour or so from truckee, near northstar or sugar bowl if ur familar with those resorts

[The Voice]

so it's in Nor Cal?

[kmac32]

ya, you go through auburn to get to the snow when u come from socal, its right after sac

[The Voice]

Oh alright, I'm in Big Bear!!

[wakingtrance]

i'd have to say i like to smoke a joint or 2 when riding but only every once and a while... i like gettin stoned with my friends more... cuz i usually either ride alone or with a few guys that drive me nuts.

[no7ah]

i ride with kids that smoke i don't mind it but if they get caught i don't know them

[wakingtrance]

yea thats the thing... i usually go to my friends car or something... i dont have a car myself cuz im broke as hell and spend all my money on snowboarding, music, and well of course **** for my band, i dont have a job anymore got fired from burger king... how lame is that and... the ppl i babysit for are broke and cant pay me.

[no7ah]

i can't wait to work. sounds lame but i've been jobless for a month and i hate it

[steel79]

whateva floats your boat homie... i personally can't drink and ride, the times i have i end up just feeling lazy and bloated and it kills my mojo

[steel79]

i can't wait to work. sounds lame but i've been jobless for a month and i hate it

yea, same hear bro

[kelly]

I need to start a thread called "not drinking and riding" so I can stop reading about all you drinkers and have a conversation with myself about not drinking... ;)
Well, maybe that one other sXe kid can join in.

[phillyboy]

When I used to drink I drank before riding for my whole week I spent in BC. I don't recommend it. Threw up off the lift, passed out at the top of the lift. But I rode pretty well when I woke up.

[kelly]

Yummy... now I really want to ride a lift with you...

[phillyboy]

you know you do. i don't drink anymore.

[volcomgrrl]

shall i quote a wonderful show "papa loved to ski. and papa loved to drink. but mostly papa loved to ski and drink... at the same time" !!! best movie ever

[kelly]

I really hope you kids aren't using that movie as a life coach...

[The Voice]

No Way why would anyone do that?

[powder1978]

i don't mind a drink or two before, but i really just wanna spend as much time on the slopes as possible, when they close, and if we're not doing night skiing, then we get wrecked

[Type_0]

i was raised to enjoy the taste of the IPA, logger, Malt or wine, whatever i might be drinking. also i dont enjoy being drunk, being a martial arts person i kinda cherish my reaction time and other things like that, that drinking inhibbits. so personaly, being under-age at that. i think drinking and snowboarding at the same time is stupid, being able to handle your alcohol and drinking it to calm down. thats ok. but being stupid for the "experiance" is well, stupid.

[sambad8]

i don't drink but when my friends do they just start acting all stupid and ****. super lame!! if you have to drink to take the edge off then i think you r a *****. sorry.

[powder1978]

i doubt any one on here takes a drink to take off the edge on the slopes. love that edge, but when we all get stupid drunk towards the end it's funny...I'm bringing my vid cam this year...figure we can cellophane it, lol

[kelly]

I'm surprised a "martial arts person" would support drinking to calm down... most martial arts classes I've been in have focused on internal methods for self-control and conquering fear, which seems counter to the use of alcohol for those purposes.

[Mr_E]

I used to ride and drink all the time. burrying a bottle above the park, minis, a case in the truck, etc. Last year's near-death experience kinda changed my mind though. Now I think its just stupid, let the booze wait back at the lodge for when im licking my wounds that night, or not at all.

[RideCatalyst420]

I drink baily's in my coffee on the way up the mountain. i dont think its a big deal, if it helps you relax, and you have a better time boarding.

<3 Brooke

i know what you are talking about. but i drink beer. i am not a big fan of liquor, you get way too drunk too fast. but yeah i hae that feeling that you get when you are about to do something you never tried before. i dont drink to get drunk while i am riding, but it helps...

[kelly]

Isn't that feeling you get when you are about to do something you've never done before part of the fun, though?

[kelly]

I'm Edge...
That's cool, there are a couple of other edge kids here, including myself.

[playinthagame]

That's cool, there are a couple of other edge kids here, including myself.

hey i have a question, dont take it wrong. i dont mean disrespect, but why do you follow the whole "X" straigh edge thing? i mean if you are doing it to be healthy and all that good stuff, thats cool. but if you are trying to follow a trend, it seems kinda silly. i know where it came from. but there are better ways to make your point.

[kelly]

Better ways? What's bad about straightedge?
I went straightedge when I was 19 and living in philly and into the hardcore scene... not to follow a trend. I'm 28 now, and still straightedge.

[YOU WISH]

iv been edge since iv started going to shows when i was 12-13 , im now 20

[playinthagame]

Better ways? What's bad about straightedge?
I went straightedge when I was 19 and living in philly and into the hardcore scene... not to follow a trend. I'm 28 now, and still straightedge.

thats all cool homie, i just dont really understand the fad. like drawing x's on your hands and claiming to be edge and stuff. more power to you guys. im not putting you down, and i am sorry if i sound like it. i just try not to follow trends. i try to do my own thing. i try not to let people tell me how i should live. and i respect the fact that you have the will power to not do drugs, or drink, or eat meat.

[kelly]

You keep saying you don't want to put it down, but then you also keep calling it a fad or a trend. How is that not putting it down? More power to us because you think we're fickle and follow every trend that comes along? Thanks.

[playinthagame]

nahh man you got me all wrong. i just think drawing an x on your hand is a trend, because it is. if you choose to live the life, rock on!!! but protesting it and doing because its cool, i think is stupid. im not saying youre like that. and i feel ther same way about it all. the hip hop shredders that wear "ghetto" gear, and follow that trend, the kids that have no idea why they are doing things. MTV is huge like that. the kids that do the "BAM" thing, and they are just doing things because it is cool in their little click. i just dont like the idea of society telling me what to do. and in esssence, people that do things to stick out, or act in rebelion should find their own thing in life. cause you are never going to make everyone happy. and edge/hardcore music is cool. im not trying to bash on the whole edge scene, really im not. i guess you are just misunderstanding what i am saying man. i sence a hint of sarcasm in your comment...

[kelly]

Well, first of all, i'm not a man....
And second, the X on the hand is a symbol that has been around since the start of the straightedge movement, over 20 years ago. By definition, something that is a trend or fad does not have this kind of longevity. Recently it has been co-opted by the Hot Topic crowd, but don't think that that means that everyone who Xes up trying to follow some trend. If you do something that becomes trendy, do you quit to avoid trendiness? If so, you might want to stop snowboarding....

[YOU WISH]

Any hot topic nerd can draw an x n their fist and say the like hardcore, but its not sincere. Iv drawn an x on my maybe 5 times in my life

[playinthagame]

im sorry i am offending you... i really am not trying to. i know the X on the hand has been around for a long time. i have a couple straight edge buddies, but i am yet to see them draw an X on their hand. if i do something that becomes trendy, i dont quit, if i grow out of it i quit. you cant avoid a trend! there is a trend for everything. like that dance off episode of south park, with the "non-conformists". and snowboarding has become really trendy, it kind of pisses me off. i saw the timberlake dude jst chillin at the podium of a rail jam, man. what the ****. if he likes it cool, but i dont remember seeing him around a few years ago. it isnt stopping me from riding though. individualism is what its about, being yourself. i hope you understand what i am talking about. and i give you props for being straight edge, it takes a strong will to do something like that. i know you give a **** about what i think, i am just showing respect.

[kelly]

I know plenty of sXe kids who X up, usually just for shows. It's about solidarity within the movement. It just expresses an opinion, and helps you meet other people who feel the same way you do. I'm glad to hear you appreciate straight edge, I just think you need to get over your concern with what is trendy and what isn't. Who cares?
Also, more people are aware of snowboarding because of it's trendiness. They may not have known much about it a few years ago. As with all trends, it'll get more exposure, some people will decide they like it, some people will just try it to be cool, and when the trend passes, maybe we'll have a few more people who really love the sport.

[playinthagame]

yeah, i definitely see where you are coming from. i dont really care, but i do. i guess i am trying to educate people about individualism. i try to appreciate everything that this world has to offer. i want to experience everything i can before i die. except hardcore **** that will completely **** my life up. drugs is what am talking about, like meth or heroine, chemically processed drugs. and if that is how people want to express themselves, its all good. yeah i was just kind of appauled when i see this mtv superstar dude chillin with the likes of jp walker and jeremy jones. if their friends tight. it is just kind of upsetting to see someone who istn ever seen in the industry hanging out at something that only snowboarders usually hanging out at. and he is in the podium area. i guess i was just jealous there. this was a pretty good conversation, thanx

[kelly]

Ok cool... just be careful... I often find that people the most concerned with individuality seem to be the least individual. It's kind of a double edged sword.

[playinthagame]

yeah, maybe. i was in the army for a while, i may contridict my self sometimes. but i try to stay "true to the game". i just want to experience everything i can, and be happy doing what im doing, whatever it is. i dont want someone telling me i would be happy doing something...

[IRideASnowboard154]

drawing X's on your hand is stupid
calling yourself straightedge is stupid, why not just say you dont drink or smoke.

oh wait its the hXc thng to do, hXc is the new thing.

[playinthagame]

i see it man. i was just talking to someone about that, and my point is that people shouldnt do something to be popular. i mean if someone wants to be straight edge more power to them. like kelly said the straight edge scene has been around since the 80s. some people do it to be cool, but there are snowboarders that go out and buy tight ass gear, and have no clue what its used for. i was saying that its better to live it than to pretest it.

[kelly]

You're a jackass. Hardcore isn't new. Everyone makes style choices to affirm their identity, why is anyone's stupider than yours?

drawing X's on your hand is stupid
calling yourself straightedge is stupid, why not just say you dont drink or smoke.

oh wait its the hXc thng to do, hXc is the new thing.

[IRideASnowboard154]

i know hardcore isnt new, but just recently it has been coming out of the woodwork so to say, and now everybody wants to be a part of it, I dont mind if your 'edge' i just think its stupid to draw X's on your hands and call yourself straight edge

[kelly]

Yeah... so you don't mind if I'm edge, but you think it's stupid... thanks... I appreciate your support. I always do look for the support of 16 year olds when it comes to questions of stupidity too.

[IRideASnowboard154]

I never said being edge was stupid, i said calling yourself, in my opinio, is stupid, why not just say you dont drink when someone asks you, or say you dont smoke if someone asks you, not go telling everyone "look i dont smoke or drink" when really, half the people who hear you saying it will be like "thats nice, i dont care"

[kelly]

What, you think straightedge people walk around telling everyone they're straightedge, when they introduce themselves or something? I only mention it if it comes up in conversation, or if someone asks me why I don't drink. The only reason it came up in this thread was because it asks whether or not you drink when you ride. Lots of people label themselves according to their beliefs, or there wouldn't be organized religion or political parties. Why is it suddenly stupid when straightedge people do it?

The X is not to tell other non-straightedge people that you're edge, it's a symbol specific to the scene, to let people within the scene know you are edge... And it's only usually done within the very specific culture of hardcore shows.

[SpottyFish]

I never said being edge was stupid, i said calling yourself, in my opinio, is stupid, why not just say you dont drink when someone asks you, or say you dont smoke if someone asks you, not go telling everyone "look i dont smoke or drink" when really, half the people who hear you saying it will be like "thats nice, i dont care"

That's a pretty narrow-minded and uneducated opinion, although I guess you can't expect much more from a 16 year old. I think the foundation of straight-edge is not smoking or drinking, but there's a lot more to it than just that. Correct me if I'm wrong Kelly. There's nothing stupid about chosing to identify yourself with a group of people that share the same interests and beliefs. You may not chose to identify with those people, but it doesn't give you the right to call it stupid.

[hereicometorecktheday]

i was reading over my buddies shoulder (playinthagame) and came on here to inform the kid (irideasnowboard) he is stupid. but looks like you guys did a pretty good job of that before i had a chance to. :D

kelly - if you can put up with a board full of village idiots, we could always use new blood at jorelsbigpants.com. we talk mainly of 'old school' hardcore, vinyl (record), star wars, and other geeky stuff. but we talk about pretty much anything. its a good play to let your inner 'village idiot' run amuck. :D

[powder1978]

Sxe WTF, we can't have you kids in here, this thread is for the self destructives mofos here, haha damn you Sxe trying to survive, join the herd and let's al kill ourselves the same... :-P

geez next we're gonna have a thread bashing fast food, damn hippies, (i'm just kidding)

[XxSNOWxX]

Haha it doesn't hurt to have a 40oz before charging......I find myself going bigger that I normally would...

[toothpaste]

smoking or drinking is ok as long as you are not wreckless like those skiersb

[rideforum]

I think smooking a little pot and riding is ok, but most people get pretty out of control when they drink. or maybe thats just me

[locciola]

i could NEVER ride drunk! i would either get sick and puke everywhere or kill myself trying to ride! at least it would be funny for everyone watching me!!

[BeastOfBurton12341234]

Don't drink and snowboard, not only doe sit hurt liek hell, you spill your precious alcohol a lot easier, so be safe, and get ****ed up after the day is over. peace everyone.

yours truly,
Brad


amen......

[pEAniE_oNe]

whats up all this is my first post here on snowboard addicts so hello all. and as far as drinking and boarding goes i say yes and no. i wouldnt go out and do it on an actual hill, but sometimes me and my friends head up north for the day with a few cases and we hit up a hill which is no longer open. we build our own hit and its all powder. fun, little rediculous, but this way were only putting ourselves in danger as opposed to everyone.

[Snow Kitty]

Made me think of "OUT COLD" movie... hilarious... My friends did that and I remember driving by and finding them all passed out in the parking lot with beer bottles all over... some still had board attached to them. I just shook my head and drove on.

[Snow Wolf]

I agree, getting tanked then riding just sounds like a really bad idea. For me, I find I ride better after one or two beers. It take just enough of the edge and inhibition away to really ride agressively enough to push myself to get better as I am more relaxed and fluid in my movements.

[kelly]

I prefer to strive for the relaxed and fluid movements on my own, without the assistance of booze...

[unforgien_nick]

Ha ha My jack and Coke in my camel pack is the way to go. Some nug with the moutain is tonz better. Even though i live in the mormon town of the world ****ty ****ty ****ty

Yeah, but I am still overcoming the fear of going too fast and too high....for now its a crutch that helps a little bit....BTW with regard to your sig....that was a hillarious movie....LOL

[Jrock247]

I luv getting alittle sauced when i'm riding. I definitely go bigger and faster (and fall down more) but a couple of years of martial arts taught me how to properly fall.

[poppychild]

i've never done it... and probably won't. smoking & riding might be a little different though.
i can't stand it though when beginners come out for like their first day and they're smashed, falling all over the place, esp in the lift line. they take foreverrrrr.

[snowkat]

meh, id only have a beer with a meal but getting toasted would just mean id get dehydrated, i dont see the point on doing something u do every other weekend, as for smoking and riding i think a natural high from mountain air is good enough for me, but then again im not from Canberra like Simon!

[Colette]

Creek <333 getting ****ed up then boarding is different then just boarding like that other person said.. drinking to have fun is good but when you are sloppy as hell its not even worth it.

[droopy]

uhm....i tried that...but i didn't drink enough for it to affect me...two shots rumple.....just a warm tummy

[ahnickel4yakiss]

drinking and boarding is sooooo fun!... drank a whole lot of level vodka with some friends and brought some more in water bottles for the lift... they don't call it liquid courage for nothing... haha... you dont feel anything if you happen to eat it until pretty much the drive home... then you'll remember and feel all the places you fell... but id do it again for sure

I'd be dead if I did that. You wouldn't even need to add snowboarding into the mix.


The most drinking I do while riding is having a beer with lunch (along with my Gaterade so I don't dehydrate). On really cold days, it's partially to warm me up, but mostly because it's nice to sit with my friends and chill out with a beer. I cannot even imagine being wasted on the hill and I do find people who are out-of-control drunk obnoxious. Not just in regards to snowboarding, either.

[kelly]

lunch?!?!?! you stop for lunch?!?! I dunno if this WP thing is gonna work out, fae...

[Fae]

I didn't used to until I realized that I have issues with pretty much everything if my blood sugar goes to low. And as fun as I'm sure it would be for me to black out while on the lift or in trees or something, I'd really prefer to take a half hour to get some food to avoid it.

[kelly]

I suppose I could allow you 15 minutes ;)

[Fae]

That's fine. The beers are reserved for chill days of riding (You know, like days where "12" trails are open)....And I doubt WP will be chill as far as that goes.

And I can't drink beers anymore :(

As for lunch... Kel, I'm cool with a Granola bar. So... is that ok? But us sea-level creatures will need to rehydrate regularly.

[kelly]

yeah, I figure we can leave some sammiches or bagels at the mary jane lodge, and grab 'em when fae starts lookin pale and fainty.

[SnowGeek]

Now I'm starting to wonder which cars on the road home were driven by people who were drinking-and-boarding... Is it the one going 45 in a 55-zone on bare pavement where there's no place to pass for 5 miles. Or the big-honkin SUV zooming by on the snow-covered road?

[jeffro1080]

[B]humm well i heard this story once about this guy who kept his liqued warmth in a metal flask on an outside pocket and it was pretty cold out. so when he took a swig it pretty much froze his throat. just what i heard. if your going to do it right you got to make it hard. beers are for tailgaiting befor and after the ride inbetween is the flask. Things allways seem alot more humorus at the end of the day when your fallin all over the place. just watch out for that tree or is that a skier. try not to make a habbit out of it thought maybe once a month if that but if your going to ya better do it right!

RIDE drunk

liquor doesn't freeze... not in earth tempatures anyways

[nugentj25]

If you're over the limits of being able to drive, then you probably shouldn't be snowboarding. Just me, though. I like to have a beer or two during a mid-day break, but getting totally ****-faced isn't something I feel comfortable with while hauling *** down a mountain.

[TumYeto]

i drink a monster energy drink or a rockstar in the morning to get the blood rushin. I'm not a morning person. Throughout the day though i drink water.

[analee]

as long as you drive up before you drink...

[nugentj25]

That's cool, there are a couple of other edge kids here, including myself.
Does caffeine violate the straight-edge principals, because I don't think I'd be able to survive without my daily pot of coffee....

[akies1355]

yeah my buddy and i are always drinking when we go boarding. it just loosens you up to try crazy stuff you normaly would be thinking, "i am going to kill myself?"

[JonnyBFly]

Holy fricken W0W, man. It took me an hour to read through all that. I like to enjoy a beer and a bowl. I like to enjoy a beer and a bowl when I watch a movie or go 'boarding. Do I do it every single time? No. I don't have to be high or drunk to snowboard. "I" prefer to have a drink or to smoke or burn a bowl when I do snowboard, but hey that's just me. Do I get all crazy billigerent drunk? Sure, plenty, but not when I snowboard or drive or anything else where I may do more than hurt someone's feels bads because I have a big mouth that runs away with me when I drink too much. Have I been drinking recently? Yes, I just got off work and drank a few beers with my dinner, sue me. Am I billigerent drunk? Not really, more angry drunk that only a few people where able to talk out their greivences like adults, and not resort to name calling like seven year olds( Ninner!). Have I asked and answered enough questions for everyone? I hope so.

[grimkitten]

Hmmm...knowing that when I smoke or drink, I get kind of "explosive happy" and feel like I'm indestructable, I wouldn't do it, personally. I can see myself getting blazed, hitting a big jump, and realizing half way through that it was actually a ledge or something. It's a good way for me to end up in a body bag...haha.

[EU4ICRIDA]

Yeah, i have heard of that before, but snowboarding gives me a natural high, and I wouldnt wanna lose that. But yeah if thats what you do keep chuggin!
