~SNOWBOARDERS~
i saw a surfer thread, so i decided to unite the snowboarders... been snowboarding for 9 years! anyone ever ridden up in a ganjala? gotta make sure to open the windows after you hotbox, so the lifties don't make a fuss about it. last winter i went out west with 4 buddies and we rolled out with 2 oz after xmas through new years. throughout the day we would go off in the woods and each smoke personal joints! snowboarders where are you?
here's a pic from vail. backside tailslide...

you guys go off jumps on those sandboards at all? probably got to wax the shit out of those boards! i saw a segment on travel channel with some guys doing backflips off of plastic ramps i believe. here's another pic i dug up.

yeah basically have to wax everytime you get to the bottom lol. without wax you dont really go anywhere, but with wax its real slick, like sliding on oiled glass. do you guys use wax ???
and yep we usually take this wooden ramp that my mate made so can get a couple feet of air off that actually the first video clip in that youtube link has a good example of that:

yes we definately use wax. a good wax job should last a few days of riding. it requires using an iron that heats the wax and you let it drip a bit all over your board. then you go through with the iron and heat up the drips and evenly coat your board. then you scrape it off and do touch ups and a buff. they have dry-rub waxes with buffers for on the spot quick wax. that ramp is pretty sweet, that one guy in there gets huge air! must suck having to hike up and wax everytime.
