Wow it's been awhile! Still good to see some are still keeping the forum alive. It's a cool forum, preferred it to snowboard.com site, just too many people there.

Well, I got married on sept. 22nd. So, I'm officially off the market, sorry Rich aka little spoon. Livin in Northern Michigan, damn cool area, has everything....except for mtns. The wif enjoys the shredsled also, but she is still learning.

Not a whole lot of need for a swallowtail out here, we do get pow, but when your run is 30seconds long, it's not quite worth it. Still someday, I promised Noknees that I would make another swallowtail....someday. Still waiting for the real winter to hit, we usually get some good snows by now, but nothing more than an inch here or there, usually followed by rain. Oh well, it will snow as soon as I leave.

Check out AC's new flick if you get a chance, good vid, plus we got some our riders to help out AC with some footage.

So, how's everybody? Guess I need to go through all the posts. Anyword on Canuck, NoKnees still travelin to India, Rich...lost your number, apparently cell phones don't swim, I saw Canaria is involved in environmental work which is damn awesome, etc.

Late,
E

Congrats on the new wifey! What took you to Mich? FLOW have a mid-west operation?

CO isn't getting any snow either. Resorts opened early on man-made ice. The snows will come but it sucks having to wait.

Thanks Tantrum! Been comin to Michigan since I was a wee lad. Long family history up here & I've always wanted to live here. Once I met my wife, one of us had to move, Seattle was still too expensive for me, found a house with a 3 car garage, huge yard & was about the same price as a studio in seattle, so I made the move. Plus we get quite a bit of snow, so it's cool to work on a binding part & try it out in my backyard. It's different having hills instead of mountains, but I still get my share of mountains thru traveling, plus my parents still live in Seattle, so I can get my fix. What's up with you? Besides a lack of snow.

Life's good here. My 9 year old has expressed an interest to be a snowboarder but I suspect it is more for the social aspect than a true love of riding. We'll see how it goes this year and see if she will stick to it.

Just bought me some FXT bindings so I can't wait for the snow to come.
