na, my snowboard helmet is a bern baker, and you can use it to wakeboard too!! I listen to my ipod as well, just run a bud up the side of me, and it works great. Haven't seen any helmets with blue tooth yet, could be a good idea.

yeah might as well!! that would offer great protection.
Tequilla,
I did a double back flip on a blue, cactching an edge, basically knocked myself out, hence why I now wear a helmet. It's not the trees taht get you, it's those easy runs. I have fallen harder on a green then most blues, those darn flat spots getcha everytime.!Originally posted by G-MONEYIt hurts me to say it but go OU but only for this weekend!!!!

I am looking for one with bluetooth though, so I can play my ipod through it...Just haven't found the right deal yet.

I've snowboarded for 18 yrs or so and am fairly decent but remember what it was like to learn, and I see a lot of people my age trying to learn and WOW what a sight!! Have fun and kick ***!
Very true, I say board for half day, then take a lesson! that way you have a better understanding.Originally posted by G-MONEYIt hurts me to say it but go OU but only for this weekend!!!!

Shoot, I have been snowboarding for a long time and take the "Steep and Deep" lessons at Jackson just for fun, it's more like a guided tour without the cost of a guide. Plus the folks that live and work on the mountain know about some of the baddest @$$ secret spots. I know, most people think that is crap but I have been going there for over 7 years and this Jan I joined a class and found out about some areas over on the edge of Saratoga Bowl that I had never noticed before, untracked! Plus then we went to the Moose and got free beers since I was hanging out with him waiting for my wife to meet me there, this is only her third season so she takes all day lessons. I am extremely fortunate she does not mind me ditching her most of the time.

What is making it possible for me to ski this year, is that her sister can't go (also a snow sport newbie) so my wife is staying home as well. I figure we can get them into lessons, and I (and the other dudes) can go rip it up without fear of retributions. Ah, who am I kidding, I'll find someway to get myself in trouble...no doubt about it.
Let's get this sucker back on track though, anyone know of good Local Microbrews in the Keystone, Dillon or Breckenridge areas?"I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are just details"

as far as the lessons, I really would NOT do the really beinner one, all they teach you how to do is the "falling Leaf" and it's absoultly pointless. Get on a board, and just healside all the way down, how not to snowboard!! take the next one up. Just IMOOriginally posted by G-MONEYIt hurts me to say it but go OU but only for this weekend!!!!
