RaarlGoing to a school on the quarter system? I was not a fan of it and won’t miss it. Some seen to like it though
Yeah I'm on quarters. I actually like them a lot, especially the 10-week classes. Only bummer is that my breaks don't line up with my friends' very well.
Young_IPMCHey, I’m going to miss the 9th and 9th ride. If anyone’s there, send my regards to George.
How have they been recently? Havent been since like june and seems like my homies havent been doing it much but it's such a good time, great pregame for thursday night parties.

They’re still going strong, maybe 150 people last week. I expect it’ll get more popular as more college kids move back. I try to be there every week.

Word last summer there were definetly a few over 200 but once that kid got hit by the train cops became present and kids stopped going, just cant be a drunk idiot. If you see a yellow tandem yelling "no brakes" lookout cause I'll either be on it or near it, literally doesnt have brakes.

I’d say the first one I went to in early July had 200 easy. I only saw a police presence when we went Weast Valley recently, but I’m pretty sure they’re generally all over there. I’ll keep my eyes open. I’m not too distinguishable, but I usually ride near the front and wear a gray single strap backpack.

Yeah I just remember sometime within a few weeks of that accident it was a smaller than usual crowd and I rode past a few kids pulled over by cops on motorcycles, likely for the open containers, didnt go for a while after that. Glad it's still going strong, I'd rather do 9th and drink a little til 11 then start heavy drinking at 9. Once I move back to the valley soon I'm definetly gonna try to go, plenty of college shaws and homies around, and it's not a crowded house party.
BigPurpleSkiSuitDude they almost had to amputate your foot. You're a great skier and you'll adjust and be okay. I believe in you!
Thanks fam :) It still feels like a fever dream, damn. What im really looking forward too? Stoned groomer cruising, its like therapy. Just perfectly linked carves and working on that form yo. Its all about the fundamentals. I gotta arc some high speed turns soon or im gonna die.

I still think about this black shadowy hooded figure I saw when I was like 12-13. Was up late playing some COD during the summer, went to grab some snacks, turned the corner into our kitchen and saw what looked like a nun-type hooded figure move down the hallway adjacent to me. Fucked me up good for a week lol.

Ahh these posts remind me of the ghost story thread that was hot a few years back. Still remember being at our 6th grade camp in northern NH, literally a family of like 6 were buried on the camp/side of ski resort and everyone saw the little cemetary like wtf. One girl said she encountered something that made her act all depressed and weird, and I remember waking up in the middle of the night to see what looked like a young child on one of those toy broomstick horses in my room, another kid had like a twitching fit in his sleep but mightve been normal. Definetly had a few weird encounters in my life I cant explain, kinda wanna experience more but also dont.
safarisamMy ankle sprain is the worst my physical therapist has seen. Great.
At least you didn't run a half marathon with no training and get cucked.
I chugged it out but I cant walk.
I loathe running but now I can't wait to run theres nothing like being unable to do something that makes you want to do it even if you hated it to begin with.

oh shit i think we just stumbled upon a goldmine for a horror movie, kinda like the poltergeist but at a summer camp. Lets crowdfund NS' first major motion picture.
That thread was spooky. I love hearing about this.

For real though dude, growing up I was super into paranormal shit. That thread was so chilling to read especially with granite_state (now charliekelley when hes rarely on here) and his stories of his consistant hauntings in his old childhood house in VT. But I feel like my story could easily play into a movie for sure, nobody else really had experiences, we in the guys dorms were kinda sketched about our friend tweaking in his sleep cause it was after that girl had her weird experience in her room. Still remember waking up in the middle of the night, kinda looked like static tv in the middle of my room seeing a kid on the horse toy, but fell back asleep a bit later. I think my friend (you might've told me you know my friend joe from the PC team) and he said in his room he saw a green light appear at night too. It had been the camp spot for multiple years but never heard about the older kids having weird encounters, kinda interesting. The spot on it's own would make a great movie setting, northern NH with cabins and treehouses and high tree bridges for ultra spook moments. Glad you guys reminded me of hauntings cause it was super fucking weird that whole week, just super eerie out there with everything happening. My only other encounter I can remember is being in canada and our family friends and my brother and I were in a graveyard near our rented lake house with a ouija board and my brother suddenly freaked out when he felt a tap on his shoulder next to a grave, feel like I remember seeing a girls figure for a split second but still not sure. Ghosts and residual energy is really interesting still, dont like to think about it often though.

I never had ghost or whatever encounters but throughout the years of hiking in the mountains, on several occasions friends I was with have seen sasquatches and in 09 I finally saw one. In 08 was alone 2 miles off trail at a lake and there was unexplainable things going on all night and around 4 am one kept saying "wahoo" about 7 times. He had a losd whispery voice with these 2 whistle tones in it. I wanted to poke.my head out of the tent to see but was too afraid I'd have some nerve overload so I didn't. The local natives have legends going back 1000s of years about these critters, they are some interesting reads to say the least.
PeppermillRenoAt least you didn't run a half marathon with no training and get cucked.

Oh shit, that blows. Why would you run without training?
my fracture hurts a lot worse then the sprain, but that’s going to heal faster. :/
I went to the fair yesterday. Took out $100 cash for stuff. Spent $52 on food and activities. Then spent the remaining $48 at the casino and lost it all.Took out $60 more dollars and won $113 and $145 back to back. So I was at about $260.
Should have stopped there but I was feeling lucky and ended up walking out with $160. Which is the amount of money I left my house with (minus ATM fees.) So in a way, I made out even but technically won $52 I guess.
Not a bad time, but really don't go to the casino. That shit is dangerous haha.
RparrI've always found this website, and really skiing as a whole, an interesting phenomena in that there are no fat people 'round these parts. It doesn't really work with our lifestyle. It's incredible when you consider the obesity and overweight rates in America now
Totally feel this way about myself despite the fact that my ski diet mainly consists of sendy tendies and alcohol, lol. I have more defined muscles during ski season than DH season. No complaints here.

I was there that sad day and didn't even know till the next morning because I was part of the group that had already passed the tracks. Sad stuff and the video is heart-wrenching :(
I went to a couple after what happened last summer and there were way fewer people. I thought it was going to get shut down honestly. I went once and there was like maybe 40 people first or the second week of the U starting which used to be peak times. Haven't been at all this year so I'm hyped to hear that it picked up to normal numbers again. The day that shit happened though that was the largest crowd I had ever seen. The news said 500, but it was probably a good 350+ and so gnarly. It would take everyone like around 15-20 minutes to get through an intersection. Funniest cluster fuck I've ever been a part of.
Cops being homies waving you on as you chug your beer with one hand, dodging fools with the other, and screaming belligerent nonsense at ignorant out of town tourists waiting in the intersection. Felt like a free pass to be an obliterated goon.
If you live in or around slc it's a must-go-to event for all ages. Good times.

Yeah the crowd was massive, thing is my friends and I went over the tracks probably 15 seconds before the train came through, I remember we looked back like "holy fuck that thing was moving" but there were so many people we didnt hear any noise of it. One of our homies stopped before it passed and I think he saw kids trying to revive the kid and shit, and yeah the onboard footage is fucked up. Definetly gotta go to a few in the next couple months, when the crowd is big enough to keep traffic from killing us it's awesome, my favorite memory was being downtown and some dumbass was to close to the opposing traffic lane and smashed into a guys sideview mirror and flipped over, gets up and yells "I'm good!!" But was smart enough to go back to the guy and probably exchange info, cause that thing blew tf up and everyone like usual reminds each other to stay out of the other lane.

Might take a Thursday off work once people get back in town or go to a bunch in October during shoulder season when my hours get cut down. I'm mad excited that shit slapped.
Its normal to strain your calf but have pain/soreness get worse to the point where you cant get off the couch without struggling, right? Asking for a friend
Well the muscles weaken if you dont use them, so it can happen

Of course, shit hurts so don’t walk on it. Sometimes some heat may help, or ice depending on the strain and some good old rest.
Just applied for a job instructing at Whitewater BC! Fingers crossed I get the job. Super keen to get after it in some sick terrain and start getting into the backcountry :)
Headed to Mt. Lassen tommorow with my dog to do some fishing and some R&R for the last day of summer break before classes start. Haven't caught a fish all year. Wish me luck boys.
