Wow, I don’t usually post in topics like this, but my hat is off to you Vangruver. 20 years in, that’s kick ass. I think I rode for about 11 before my knees just couldn’t hack it anymore. Doing cliff drops with a duck foot stance, not recommended.

Again, my hats off to you. So many times Ill stop and watch the new videos out, and be amazed at how technical snowboarding is now, how much it has moved forward. Me and a friend were laughing the other day that “Wow, dude, we are old school now.”

Remember Palmer getting tossed out of Japan? Remember Palmers first “boneless”?

Remember when Terje was just some kid that didn’t speak proper English?

Remember When Craig Kelly Ruled?

Remember Dan Donolly, and the fights over judging the first competitions?

Remember Cutting up your free ride board to make a twin tip?

Remember Skybacks?

Remember Neon?

Remember Movies like “upping the ante” or the old “Kemper” Videos? “Board Test!”

I could go on and on. Memories bring a tear to my eye. Keep it up man, one day Ill get a pair and get back up a mountain. Until then, have a great time, and Ill be sitting here staring at my Crystal Ocean and World Industry boards on the wall…..
