Just got my board back from it's first ever machine tune. Wow, what a difference, I'm amazed at how the base looks like new now. Very stoked for Whistler next week.

nice job terekith...i used to do some contest, but i always choked so bad, i think i fell every time, hahah.....thinking of doing the Banked Slalom here next month, just for fun, master class could be pretty small, so if i dont crash i may have a chance, lol

Hemispheres at Baker in morning light, got my run off the right-most one, down that right ridge, so awesome, i'll never forget that run

Good luck with the op. No bikes or boards, but I'm sure skydiving will be fine...

[Tarekith]

Thanks. I dislocated my shoulder back when I was 14 competing in a snowboard pipe contest. Every 3-4 years it randomly pops out again, but usually is fine after a few days. Happened again mtn biking up on the North Shore back in Oct, but it's not getting better and now pops out 2-3 times a day (fuck that hurts too). They need to go in and basically reconstruct my shoulder, and it takes a long time to heal.

Skydiving sounds fine though, definitely time to take that up!
