Hey all,
I was reading some past posts and noticed that some swallowtailers are around in the forum, mostly the O'sinners. I have a 4807 168 that I pretty much ride everywhere pow/gran/hard, and a winterstick 185 swt which has only been tapped twice last year, hopefully more next year if I find the time.
Anyway, I'm posting for 2 reasons.First I'm just pluggin in my old school site www.winterstick.org . Trying to preserve a few aspects of snowboarding's roots, had some good response with a lot of old schoolers helping out with pics, stories and all that other stuff, also some newer riders who are just curious and want to know about it. If you're not too aware of Winterstick, it's possibly the first real snowboarding company, not counting snurfers/skifers and the little toys, but real back country and powder riding type stuff, before Burton and Sims.
Secondly, I'm putting together a little swallowtailer map. Already had a bunch of peeps added to the list. Basically its gonna be a little rollover of north america where each rider on the list is mapped out, maybe if you ride the swally you can find somebody in the area who also rides, maybe meet up, think something like that would be kinda neat. If you want to be added send the following;
- Name, Location (city,state),Home Mountain(s), Board(s), Pics if you got any, Other addt comments etc...
email info to swallowtails@winterstick.org (not .com, i dont work for em)
Later all,
