Things You Haven't Seen In A While

Maximumsushi · 2013-12-23 11:59:13

What are some things you haven't seen at the hill in a few years? I can't remember the last time I saw someone in the terrain park with those bent racing poles. The bandana out the back pocket has been absent for years.

I had a pair of those orange Smith poles with the bend in them back in the day. They were awesome because half the people in 'Ski Movie' used them.

I tried once when I hadn't switched some of my cd's to itunes yet, I can see why no one does. Every time you hit a bump the disk would skip. got a little annoying later in the day.

TRAINS. When I first moved to PC 8 seasons ago, I was mesmerized by all the trains and I stood on the knuckle gaping rather hard. Bring em back!!

I actually saw him at a ski hill about a year and a half ago. Much more recent than say the... giro bad lieutenant helmet.

The Oakley puffy pant has had a lot of staying power. A friend of mine used a pair for years, but it's been a while now since I've seen a pair around. I still use a pair of Oakley 2x6 pant from 2002 from time to time.

I can't distinctly remember seeing an overflip (down hill underflip, a variation on a misty 5) in a long time. But, I have to give it up for skiing (mostly the scandos) for bringing back a lot of old tricks and spin axis.

Yeah i miss the straight spin days, saw a massive stomped 12 in NZ this last summer and really made me wonder why everyone deems in necessary to cork everything.

Oakley goggle case tied to the belt loop, never put your goggles in there, it would get soaked and dirty. But everyone knows you got oakleys for days when you had that tied to your loop

Also skittle colored goggles. Now it's all about murked
