Poor Man's Heli

Saw this over at Jonny’s site.  Serious LOL material here.

1)  Skier pushes kids down
2)  Skier curses, yells in front of his kids while talking about setting examples
3)  Skier puffs up
4)  Skier dick tucks in a major way (too bad his kids didn’t get to witness dad wrap duct tape on his dick and Silence of the Lambs it between his legs)

Yeah, for some reason yesterday’s embed failed (fixed now).  This one doesn’t.  In the words of Rodney King (or was it Reginald Denny?) “Can’t we all just get along?” and if we can’t I beg of you “If your bark is worse than your bite stop barking”. The dad in the vid reminds me of most of the guys in the Bay area come to think of it – alpha male right up til they aren’t.

Travel day summarized:

-PDX is the special ed of TSA workers
-You know you’re in Texas when they are announcing a guy was sentenced to death and you think to yourself ‘ya know, this guy will actually die’
-They call it ‘Lone Star’ beer because the name Hamm’s was already taken
-You know the chicken is bad when a self-proclaimed meatatarian picks it out
-When your hotel says it’s in Austin doublecheck that it’s in the city and not somewhere on the outskirts
-This vid stoked me out

This is a cut of Cordova Peak that Ari Marcopoulos and myself edited as an art piece.  The Footage was given by Mike Hatchett and Standard films.  Someone got a copy of it and posted it without our permission.  It is still my favorite edit of the mountain.  Voices on the tape are mine, Doug Coombs, Tex (Mike Devenport), Mike Hatchett and Victoria Jealouse.  Hope  you like this edit.

As much as I >>hate<< Thule I’ve got to say that their kayak rack held up to the crazy weather (mini-tornado getting on fwy in Northwest, gale force across the bridge, snow on the other side) better than the Yakimas did.

I hate Thule, but in this case they won

10 times out of 9 if I’m leaving town and/or otherwise unable to make it to the mountains there will be snow, typically in large quantities.  Actually, this phenomenom is not unique to snow as it’s been proven on numerous occasions that if I leave town or get broke off there will be swell and it will be glassy and offshore.

I leave for SXSW on Wednesday.  Snow report calling for 10-16 on Tuesday night.  Meh.

Powder...you'll never haaave

with some (certain to be…) witty prose about solo pow days, empty spring halfpipes, beer, general douchebaggery, etc.

I had this issue and wanted those pants

Chatting on IM with one of my surf buddies this morning and he dropped this nugget of wisdom.
“Snowboarding is fun, but your ass can get wet”
That = pure genius.
Snow in the forecast for Oregon again.  Finally!  Had almost given up hope of ever having a pow day again this winter.  BRING IT ULLR, MY ASS [...]

Temporary blog hiatus due to busy schedule…I’ll be back…hopefully winter will still be around, 60+ outside right now!

Been watching the recaps from SIA from the blogzillas of the snowboard world (yes, Poormansheli was not invited to the Shred Blog Summit 2010…would have gone but couldn’t find jeans tight enough) and having some serious deja vu lately. Quick 2011 tidbits, but, unlike the others, I’m going to give you a quick peek [...]

Blanche de Putrey is French for ‘makes your starfish pucker’. First descent, 1978. Second descent…possibly during the filming of this movie. That view looking down at 1:57 in….duuuck fat.
