I think you'll like my new snowboard gear..

[Spiff325iS]

Not sure how many of you have a sense of humor about things like this, but I think it's awesome.

I've been waiting 3 years to do this. I wanted to do it 3 years ago, and never go to it. Bought this last year, and never went snowboarding, SO pissed(first time I didn't go in 16 years), then I finally have it for this year and I got my trip planned! So ready..and SO stoked.



I can't wait to see people's reactions. I can't wait to blow by people at 90MPH down the slopes..and then possibly slide on my belly to represent the penguin-ness. Also, I FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY AWESOME CAPE. Yes, I made a cape, that will be wailing in the wind behind me as I plow down the mountain at excessive speeds.

I also plan on entering in a BoarderCross Competition on the weekend I go, and will still wear this and put my Comp# Vest over this. Btw, I still have a little more to add to the front. The back is two shirts that I cut in half, sewed together so it's like a huge XXXL shirt in the back..just enough to wave around and not get in my way.

Also, I bought myself a new backpack for this coming semester. I think you guys will like this:





Enjoy. Thought this might get a rise out of a few of you, and I'm hoping to avoid everyone who hates anything that isn't normal and a 600$ volcom jacket.

Hilarious.

[E30nate]

you have to get some reaction pics!

[Axxe]

Nice, I ride in a genuine Rusky hat with real fur and everything (the one with the flaps on the ears). Pair that up with a nice pair of goggles and peeps don't know how to act.

[delatlanta1281]

Wait I don't get the costume. Please explain... what does a penguin have to do with snowboarding???

[StereoInstaller1]

Dan, that is so far beyond awesome that I just do not have words to describe it.

You NEED quality vid of you in action on the slopes and afterward, getting reactions.

I assume you have ridden for so long are badass on a board...that makes the getup even cooler.

Aside from R3V, how many people are "in" on this?

Oh yeah...VID or BANZ!

Amazing, fucking amazing.

[kolunda]

That is so fuckin boss

Very nice. My friend paid like $250 for a full gorilla suit and has worn it a couple times out here at Alpental. Pretty damn funny if you ask me.

I can assure you my experience in riding is quite adequate. Like I said, I will be most likely entering in a boardercross race while I'm up there: basically a speed race the length of two runs with huge banked turns and long open jumps, it'll we be glorious.

I've got my dad bringing a video camera, so I'll DO WORK. I seriously cannot wait to fly down the mountain with my cape and a huge FREE HUGS written on the front, snow bunnies(hot women) here I come!

It has nothing to do with snowboarding other than it's cold outside. But another amazing thing about it...is I can snowboard fast, then go down on my belly...just like a penguin...YES.


The backpack was 65$ from Turner Motorsport.

I bet your idea of "adequate" is my idea of "badass"...I have never skied or boarded. It is one of my longterm goals, but I am 44 now, it is likely to never happen.

Being a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles has its drawbacks.

Oh yeah, nice backpack, too.

[benDASHDASH]

Nice suit! I'm looking for one before they get mainstream. They're spendy! Did you make yours?

Oh, and the awkward rides up the lifts with strangers will be priceless.

[s0urce]

Needs a tummy-tuck go-fast mod.

+1 I am also looking forward to the chair-lift rides. I bought mine last year as a halloween costume in hopes of snowboarding that year, but it didn't happen(so angry). I got it for 70$ at this costume store online, apperantely they are decently hard to get now, so I'm stoked.

I made the cape, but not the costume, and I did write FREE HUGS on the front, and I will be adding more later to make sure it's easy to understand and read.

awesome.
