I also didn't realise that it was only on a 20 degree slope, something to think about during snowboard season.. That’s insane, I heard about that but I didn’t know the guy was a professional.

I guess I'll have to get this one then. Have you seen "In Short" from Blank Paper Studios? I've been watching it a lot lately, especially part 5 where they camp out in the Alaskan back country for a few days. Nice. I guess I’ll have to get this one then.

As for gas mileage, I've forced myself to slow down to 60-65 and even with a 60 mile commute each day, I've been spending less than $220 a month. I don't have a Subaru though, yet.

The problem is that even dumbasses CAN'T do this trick. Every time I ride any mountain, I see at least 20 people doing a bunny rabbit hop, not an ollie. Naturals like yourself and my friend Matt (who's skateboarded for years) will do the ollie motion naturally. Most people won't. In fact, most people don't get it even after you explain it to them: E: "...so then you bring your back foot up and level out. Simple as that." Random snowboarder: "HAH?" You sound like an 11 year old too.

(rub rub rub) anyway, on our first park run we went to some little shit park.. the rails were as long as i'm tall.. yup, SHORT. it was whack so we took a drive to the other side of the mountain where the bigger park was.. (early season - not many connecting trails) my first suggestion to learning frontsides is to be sure you're already comfortable with gettin on rails 50/50. with that said, find a rail/box about 10 ft long that does not intimidate you and camp that shit. eugene's steps are a very straight forward recipe to gliding some clean frontsides all day.. just be sure that ur setup carve is not too wide and rounded because if it is, it wont matter if ur solid and flat based, ull come off the side for sure. i like to setup carve early, then straightline the entrance to the element. that gives me the forward motion to clear the rail clean. also, depending on how i feel on the rail, i do not always ride off on my natural stance (goofy). when learning boardslide tricks i think it is important to be able to ride switch pretty decent. this gives you the option of riding out the trick in ur natural stance or switch.. you can get fancy with the ride out once u mastered the basis of the trick itself. while its still sketchy and inconsistant for me, its nice to know if i over rotate or under rotate on the rail, i wont have to bust my ass coming off of it. my strongest rail trick is still the backside boardslide.. ill post a 'how to' later. roaldSNOWald i’m still working on my frontside boardslides myself. i love them when i clear them.. but theyre still very inconsistant for me. still, it’s a really great trick to have.
