Riding with the Ohio Boys

[DennisEvans]

Well here it is, some of the footy from the riders in Ohio. All I have now is this, and it makes me look pretty bad. So have fun laughing.

ok, wow. it seems as though you


popped too hard and you kept your upper torso facing forward because

im guessing, you want to land going forward ? I've seen this case many times.

also, wait until you are in the air to start your rotation, you want to land on the box and slowly be turning so you end up coming out fakie.


props for trying a steep downrail like that though.

you have to die before you fly so just keep trying and you'll stick it.

[DennisEvans]

I have landed that several times before. I rode with Jar-bal and Someone else on here they have me doing a much smoother one. The story behind that was that they had just done the rail jam, which I was 25 minutes late to sign-up for because of some clown driving close to 30 under the speed limit, and the jump had rounded out. Normally I go straight on and because of the rounding I had to go from the side, I got caught off gaurd and because of being out of it I forgot to rotate. You should see the other videos tomorrow some time. I am posting one of a big air crash too.

Here is my first bonk of the year, and one footed no less.

[rie202]

okay. just relax man. your too tense. and it looked like you tried to disaster that thing. just slide it nice and easy then ride out fakie.

[DennisEvans]

Just wait dude, everything will be relieved sometime tomorrow. But thanks though. I love disastering on to that thing, it makes it so much more worth it, that and fast sliding it.

[DennisEvans]

Sorry dude, I didn't get any vids or pics of you...really sorry about that. Good thing you brought your cam to get some on.

interesting hat

[DennisEvans]

It's a helmet cover man, he scrapes the antlers on the ground when he does back flips...it's pretty cool.

[jare_ball248]

2 on one box???

[rie202]

jare your really relaxed on your slides. you got a little steeze going. and GOM i say lose the full face helmet. it looks kinda dorky. (not trying to be mean)

[DennisEvans]

I don't care how I look man. I ride to ride, not to look good. If I wanted to look good, I would ride twins with a beanie. But I know what you mean about it looking dorky but thanks anyway.

[jare_ball248]

what is this backflip you speak of???

[Anniku]

Its mat, the other guy that was filming everything. I think dennis is camera shy, he hit the rail fine, then every time the camera comes up he biffs it.

& its complete opposite with jarrad

[DennisEvans]

That was so damn funny, jarrad would have a nice trick when the camera was off but when it turned on he looked almost pro

[jare_ball248]

yeah i am a camera kid. you put the camera on me and i get lot better.

[Anniku]

yeah i am a camera kid. you put the camera on me and i get lot better.

Yup

Anyway, the day of 70* water skiing, err, I mean skiboarding has my feet all cut up.

Night

[DennisEvans]

I need to do an injury report for this thread:

3 new bruises on my left leg
1 bruise on the inside of my right leg
1 scrape from the edge of one of my boards on my right shin
1 quickly popped back in dislocated shoulder

[DennisEvans]

Redemtion...I claim redemption

[Gorno]

Rie is right Dennis.... you are way too tense. Your body language tells a story, so just loosen up.

[DennisEvans]

You guys are telling me to loosen up, post some advice on how to at this thread:

[PNPRO]

where was that at GOM... we still havnt rode together, we will once we actually get a little snow in the midwest.. :(

[TheTickz]

good stuff guys. that park looks decrepit though.

[DennisEvans]

It really was sad.

[jare_ball248]

the park was sad but you have to make the best of it. and i was still able to pull a backflip off it. and the pic-nic table is always a fun thing to play with.

[Branden]

im not sure if its the obscenely large amount of liquor i consumer last night speaking, or just me. but those videos were pretty. um...

[Mark]

oh billies...

[DennisEvans]

I would like to take this time to appoligise to all that have and will read this for posting video clips in which I am not as good as Brandon or Mark. This is my first seaon on real skiboards and my absolute first season doing rails. So sorry I am not as ballzy as everyone else on here.

[Greco]

don't apologize. branden was out of line and should have been more supportive.

g

[MoSno]

I think that your videos were great. It is nice to see other riders just starting to tackle rails.

[jare_ball248]

i want to see some of them come try to deal with the conditions we deal with. we make the best of what we have. we dont have the kind of park alot of them have. we dont get the snow alot of them have. that was my first and only time out this season. so say what you want but we make the best of what we have and rep the sport the best we can. i guarantee that when most of you first started rails you had problems. and that rail was really sketchy all day.

[Mark]

just keep killin it dudes. :)

if i never saw that deer hat on your head again however, i wouldn't lose any sleep. how old are you ?

[tyberesk]

don't apologize. branden was out of line and should have been more supportive.

g

definently...just keep shredding and getting skiboarding out there. Branden actually taught me alot, and im sure if you meet up with him, he'll do the same for you. Along with mark and Kirk PRO Thompson..i learned alot...riding with other people just helps, so keep doing that and you guys will have your own pro boards before you know it....maybe lol
