u r right Greco!!! i'm obsessed too:) all in da skb things. its normal fact!

[zenderfall]

People enjoy doing things they like. They love doing things they are good at, and they become obsessed when they excel at it.

And that's why we love skiboards.

...if it worries you, stop thinking about skiboarding so much. :) find something else as a purpose when you're not scheduled to be boarding.

What? I don't understand.... There are other things to think about now? I'm confused. Someone explain!

[Greco]

If he could think of something else it wouldn't be an obsession.

[Jordahl]

i guess yeah i was just wondering if being obsessed meant ur taking the thing ur obsessed with too far

[cristobal]

If the obsession is interfering with your main purposes in life, reaffirm and strengthen your purposes. When purpose is great enough, nothing - even a thought(s) - doesn't have a chance to interfere.

i guess but yeah i geta go do what im obsessed with now c-ya later:D

[cristobal]

hahahah.... right on! I'll be there next week!

yo cristo where do u ride? I was just at Mt. High today and the condish was really good! They have a sick park this season already, hit me up on here if u ever go...i usually ride with my skiing buds..kina gettin into twin tippin too! As for this obsession thing, I think being passionate about something is the most beautiful thing, not everyone has that kind of love for something. More power to u bro!
Late,
Marsh:cool:

I bought a season pass at Boreal for half price near the end of last season. Not a bad deal as it has gotten me 25 bucks off at every other ski resort i've visited so far. Five more times on the hill and it'll pay for itself. Score! I'm game to go any place that is within 2 hours of Sacramento until i get back to Los Angeles.

However, I will be in LA soon after the new year. I might be able to make a trip to Mt. High then. You up for meeting atop one of those hills? How is the ride on Mt High?

btw... I just saw Groundhog Day and i have NEVER laughed like that before while watching a movie. I highly recommend it...

hahah yeah no better way to kill some time at work.........shh its a secret.

[anaesthetic]

I am thinking about skiboarding way too much lately.
I think I have an obsessive nature, think its a distraction technique from other things in life.

But its a great thing to obsess about :D

I think this thread should be in 'skiboarding' or 'general' not 'skiboarding gear' (?)
