I will throw out two of my own suggestions to kick things off, East Coast and West Coast. 1) The Green Narrows (NC): As many board (or bored) posters here know well, there are still so many moves for most of us to try on the Green. The right line boof at the bottom of Nies' and the right-side entran...

Here's a fun winter question . . . So, every summer when I lived in DC, my friends and I would run the Upper Yough almost every week. And every year we would manage to find new lines, new slots, new moves to do. I never got bored. One of my friends, Scott Anderson, used to say that the Upper Yough h...

Hades, you guys think showing up in a canoe subjects you to ridicule and prejudice, trying paddling "FullGirlz": http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/pair-rescued-after-ride-on-inflatable-doll-hits-a-snag/story-e6frf7kx-1225988977158 Just try that sometime and see what the guys (not to mention ...

Has anyone else noticed the skyrocketing popularity of telemark skiing in the last few years? I moved away from Vermont and skiing in general in 2004 and there were some scattered telemarkers . . . now I come back in 2010 and it seems like everyone I know is into it! (I even got a pair myself.) Seei...

Any roll since 1960! After all, Wayne, 1960 happens to be the last time the Philadelphia Eagles won a championship . . . since which time the New York Giants, I should point out, have in fact won no less than three Super Bowls. So any roll in the last fifty years. (Fifty is a big number, isn't it?) ...

Larry, I totally agree in spirit . . . These types of threads seem to arise once a year, usually with someone fairly new the sport, often young, beating the drums loudest . . . It changes . . . I think that was me about eight years ago. The enthusiasm for introducing new people to our sport, though,...

Kaz made a good point a few pages back when he mentioned drinking Keystone Light -- it's a cheap . . . err, "affordable" beverage for tightwa. . . err, "budget conscious" individuals . . . Actually, let me start again. What I meant to say, was . . . Kaz made a good point a few pages back when he men...

I don't understand it. I do not think of myself as an especially daring person. I do paddle mostly class V, but I think for a class V boater, I'm pretty conservative. I have no problem walking or sneaking rapids, even ones below my skill level, if I don't feel right. That said . . . as I consider th...

Yes!! I hope to be an early design tester!

The Downtown Hair section of the Mascoma is my backyard run. As RodeoClown knows, it ain't much to look at -- urban decay is the theme -- but it's steep (about 180'/mile), has a nice boof or two, and a couple of lines that, as Louie might have said, "No son enchiladas." Do three runs and you've gott...

And laying his T-grip aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the eddy he rose, He sprang the bow of his Ignitor, to his "team" gave a whistle, And away they all went like a cold case of Keystone. But I heard him exclaim, ere he stroked out of sight, Happy Kaz'mas to all and to all a good night. ht...

I will never forgive a certain AW editor for butchering one of my articles (killing the best line in it!) After that, in a youthful rage, I swore I'd never contribute again, but that went out the window. I think they subsequently let some stuff go in the journals of mine that probably should have be...

I usually like the Bandit for creeking, but now that Mitchell has a cool new cboater on their team, I might have to get me another wood blade!

Anyone ever try to convert a Prijon Pure?

Thanks,

Alden

Ugh. Speak for yourself . . .
