With permission, I have taken this idea from another cult. I think it would be great here.

This is a thread to post what you are totally stoked on. Share with us your happiness.  :)

GROSS, which one? You have such a nice deck, haha.

Dan, I have 74389274839 pairs of goggles, and I would be more than willing to let a pair or two go if you need one. What fits your face well?

I'm stoked!!! My parents are in town and did some apartment hunting for me while I was in class this morning. I've been doing some on my own, but I'm so bogged down with school, that's it's been hard to make time. I've finally got my own place, and it's pretty fucking sick. Gated community and all, hah. I move in tomorrow! My friend bought my drinks tonight, and I now officially have TWO bartenders at the Dub who spoil me (charge me for two drinks, when I really have ten or more on my tab.. I like to buy rounds for my friends).

Stoked that I'm somehow managing to do really well in school with all of this crap happening. My training is going AWESOME, and I'm now on a new diet (except I can't seem to stop drinking beer... yikes). My parents took True and me out to dinner tonight, and it was AWESOME. $125 for the four of us, eep.

I am soossososoososooooo much happier now that I'm not living or having to deal with Jimmy. I can't even explain it, but my life has made a complete turn-around. I'm really happy now, and I have an awesome boyfriend who cares as much for me as I do him (and shows it), so life is good shit!

Oh yeah, and I won Flogging Molly tickets for March 13, yay!!!!

haha, it takes a while to get used to it, cause when you go for the first time for the season it will hurt a bit if you stay footing for a long time without falling, hurts more on long line till your feet is used to it again then its feels like its massaging your foot after that and i love the feeling haha

This sounds pretty cool and will be set up at the Rail jam I'm in this weekend. Only problem is I don't really need goggles this year, should I pick up a pair due to the sweet opportunity or are those prices like being raped for goggles???


At the Buckman's KOP Rail Jam on 2/23
Oakley will be hosting a "Custom Goggle Bar".

They will be making Custom Crowbar goggles.
You will be able to choose the various options - frame color, lens color, strap colors, outrigger colors.

They will be offered at three prices depending on which lens you choose:
Standard lens = $90
Iridium lens = $125
Fire lens = $135

You will do this at the Oakley tent at our KOP Rail Jam on 2/23 and then walk into the KOP store to pay for the goggles. Bring the receipt back to the tent to receive your custom goggles.

Limited quantities will be available. The Custom Goggle Bar will open at 3pm on Saturday 2/23.

This is something that will ONLY be available at our Rail Jam. This is a test of a program Oakley wants to develop. The only other place it has been done was in Vegas for the industry. In the future there will be an up charge from Oakley for the Custom Goggle Bar. This time they are being offered at standard retail pricing.

That is so fucking rad.

I may have to take you up on the goggle offers! I am trying to get Doug to send me a pair, I know they have a ton of new goggles, sitting in boxes in the office. I KNOW IT.

I am going to Munich this weekend. I will meet a friend from highschool there, this will be the third continent we chilled in. I'm also going to get beers with Ry.will. The beers in Munich are big and the most delicious in the fucking world. Seriously, this place is beer mecha. This is where Oktoberfest takes place every year. I'll post up pics that will make you salivate.

^ I don't think I could ever do that, but awesome!

Sooooooo stoked that my bindings arrived at the mountain this morning. Much earlier than expected. Put them on the board and so far, am in love.

Also, my jacket arrive in the mail! So I am all sorts of smiles :)

Aaaaaannnnnnddddd I took five of my snowboard instructors out skiing yesterday. It was so much fucking fun. 2 of the guys had a really hard time. But 3 of them, who have never been on skis before, did really freakin' good! They had a blast, and want me to take them again.

I am SO stoked now!!! I officially have my own place now (well, again), and I've got all of my shit moved in. It's still all packed up and everything, but I'm still happy.

My parents just left, but I had a great time with them. They've helped me a lot the past couple of days.

So I was just out dropping a couple little ledges on my bike because there's nothing else to do, and totally forgot I was at the alternative high school.  I got honked at by a car full of high school girls and it was hilarious. 

The end.

2001 replies of stokedness. Sweetness.

Plans for my spring break are coming together. My friend sent me this an hour ago, this is what I will be in for come March.

"hello Dudes-

I just thought I'd let everyone know what the plan is for the road trip. First, we'll be leaving sometime over the first weekend of spring break, probably Sunday (which I believe is the 23rd). We will make the drive in either one day or two (depending on how early Waud is willing to leave) and will rendezvous with Kimberly and her friends at Yosemite. We will stay there Monday and Tuesday nights. The ranger I talked to on the phone assured me that campsites would be available.

After that we will head east to Utah, and we will stay there at an undetermined campsite/lodging for however many days we want. Then we will come straight back.

We are taking my car, which sucks for the people in the back. I think maybe we should do a 'trial run' with all of us in the car so everyone is fully aware of the horrors that await them. That way anyone who can't deal with it can back out, paradoxically improving the ride for those who were able to tolerate the sardine-like conditions.

Seriously, it's really small.

We will be packing light, obviously. The trunk is small too. Extra pants and shirts are unnecessary, but do what you must. Same for boxers. You will smell like shit anyway, and the only respite clean garments will give you is a fleeting moment of wonderful crisp dryness before they are saturated by your sweat and stench. Hiking boots or well-supporting shoes of some kind will be a must.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should tell you that the drives will be long. Down to Yosemite and over to Utah will be significantly over 10 hours each. Back from Utah will be over 15, if I remember correctly. We will most likely be driving a lot during the night. We will be dirty. We will smell bad. Showers will probably be available at Yosemite but after that all bets are off.

On the other hand, we will be seeing some of the most beautiful stuff America has to offer. So it's definitely worth it.

These two last paragraphs are mostly for Drew and Waud, who have never done this before. The rest of us know what to expect, I think."

Road trips are fun. You're going to have a blast, although, the lack of space and the inability to change clothes sounds like absolute hell.

Found a really nice pair of vintage (70s) brown Mezlan ankle boots in my dad's closet that he hasn't worn for like 15 years. I have been looking for something to wear with jeans until my shoe situation is sorted out, and these are free, so... rad.

Its onlt slightly larger then the other one now...barely noticable. The bruising appears to have fucked off too...but its still feels only 80%.

I know if I go skiing I'm going to re-fuck it up...I just cant seem to avoid injuries...
