What is wrong with that boards tips. Why oh why.

That jacket looks sick though, I have a similar looking jacket but it’s not a riding jacket - no water proofing and super heavy.

Because the toe edge is longer than the heel edge making it easier to turn etc. It does require you to ride duck for it to work but pretty much all intermediate or better riders have a duck stance.

I went and looked it up and it said there is a deeper sidecut for the heel edge so it has more hold. So the toe… and heel edge… both have a different sidecut radius… ha.

It doesn’t say it has a longer edge, but no, a longer edge does not necessarily make it easier to turn.

They definitely didn’t need to make the tips like that to do this, but guess they wanted to create a visual gimmick to make it obvious.

Yeah, my YES Tasmaniac has the asymmetrical side cut and the nose/tail is normal!!!!!

Some like it, some don’t????? Kinda like the Chemical Storm’s Octorocker!!!!!

Yeah thanks cords. I always knew I was going but the whole airfare thing was starting to get stressful so more of a weight off my shoulders than anything. Just got to avoid seeing the inevitable sales now (I’m looking at you Jetstar)

Get Black Ops 2 instead and add me as a friend lol.

I heard AC3 was pretty bad compared to the rest of the series.

really? freddy will be disappointed to hear that…but he will definitely still want to find out for himself.

I’ve hardly played any COD, but some of the games that came with the xbox are COD and there is also Battlefield 3 and I haven’t played any of the battlefields either, so that will keep me busy for a while! If we get in to COD a bit then we might see if we can get black ops 2!
