Psst, Dork: they've switched the forum orders back. Unless you were snow mountain biking. I'll be up tomorrow, should be good. How were the lines?

http://unofficialnetworks.com/gnar/ Just got turned onto this a week or two ago by a friend who's working on setting up a contest. Absolutely awesome, got 3-4 ego claims, a couple check this outs, and a pole whacking or two today.

Day 1: Breck Bluebird, wind effected, warm. My first trip out west, not entirely sure what to expect. Figured I'd hit Breck Friday as I'd heard it gets pretty crowded on the weekends, and if it had the Lake Chutes I figured the terrain would be pretty good. Headed to the T-bar, hit the lower...

So, being an engineer and enjoying technology for tech's sake, I keep tabs on computer processor developments to some degree. I think I might have to build myself a new computer sometime next year with one of these processors. Being a bump skier, it seems like one of the Llano dual cores might...

I've lost count of how often I wish strikethrough was available, it's more useful than bold, italics, and underlined combined. Any chance of adding it?

http://espn.go.com/action/freeskiing/news/story?id=5781286 Not sure if I'm happy with this or not. While I like the increased respect for the sport that it displays, I'm not sure what's left in freestyle skiing. I fear increasingly formulaic runs that gradually lose the sense of pure fun that...

Finally, Apple vs. Google fight is getting out of the cold war stage: http://www.informationweek.com/news/global-cio/interviews/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=227900330&cid=RSSfeed_IWK_All I love it when two companies I hate fight amongst themselves.

Anyone up for the Meatheads premiere then MTB (or vice-versa, as long as Skidmarks doesn't mind a bunch of sweaty guys around?) Thinking WH isn't too far from Berlin, don't know what else is around there.

Anywhere centralish CT, just about any time. Towards the afternoon works better for me, but morning Saturday is possible.

Somewhere around Hartford, 4:30ish? Usual suspects of Case and Rez are good, others also good.

Late planning, but combination of getting bike back yesterday and high winds (i.e., unpleasant road ride) puts me on the MTB today. Figure Case around 5:30 if I go solo, but WH is doable if anyone else wants in.

Rez, Case, whatever. Anyone up for it?

Well, damn.

My boss says I'm the best employee he has. Random people I meet on the street see me coming and immediately shield their eyes. My friends apologize for not being worthy of my awesomeness. Chuck Norris runs away from me. Mother Teresa once claimed that her only regret in life was not matching my...

Camelback's fine for MTB, but I have come to appreciate not having a pack on the road. 2 water bottles hold me over for about 40 miles, rationed decently, but beyond that I either need to refill (typically gas station somewhere) or go to another solution. I've carried extras in the shirt back...

Who wants to help me break in the bike?

Familiar with road bikes, but no real clue with MTBs. I know decent HTs (in general) start around $600, figure I'd go with $800-1000 for a first bike so I don't feel the need to move up all that quickly. Worked with my road bike - got a higher end aluminum bike and feel no need to go higher. But...

Throwing this out there, if anybody's going to be there. If not, I'll probably head to Mt. Ellen to avoid skiing trees by myself all day.

You racers can have Lindsey, I'll take Hannah any day of the week. Go freestyle team!

Common problem due to taking off off-balance is the so-called "rolling down the windows," or winding arms frantically in a desperate attempt to find balance. One good way to solve this is throw in a grab. That way you'll only be rolling down one window. Also, something I do want to try is a...
