What the fuck, that shit's so over played ain't it? Seriously, you hear kids 10 years old claiming back in the day. I had the conversation with Minibike Montgomery today and was looking for an answer. Which he had none.
For me, back in the day, is the glory days. The days when shit was pure, un-adulterated and raw. No reasons or dollars attached. Like back in the day I used to snowboard at the Salem Golfcouse in my Gibaud Jeans, LL Bean Boots and CB coat, you know what I'm saying? Shit, back in the day, I used to rock a Hawian Tropic tan and some Tony Hawk type hair. For me, back in the day snowboarding is Palmer, Kidwell, Kelly, Burt, Damian, Graham, Seone, Nicholson, Hetzel.
What's it mean for you?
Back in the day for me means- Riding my safari with Elfgens, Sorrels, and Lange Ski Boot liners that Dog handed off to me, Hanging out at the Boarding house after he just won the world championship on the board- I can still remember the stoke factor. Watching Jeff Brushie and Kris Swierz build kickers in the field next to my house when most ski resorts still didn't allow snowboarding and then dropping my ski's and hit it with them. Hitting the Hayes brothers parties at the US OPEN IN Stratton in the late 80's.
ReplyDeleteThat's truely back in the day.
ReplyDeleteback in the day for me means seeing brushie (with dreads), palmer, klassen, and tina basich all at the same time shredding the pipe at june mts O.P. pro. i was 14 and called in sick to work (mcdonald's in mammoth) to go watch my heroes. later that day on the sun deck i ran into my boss. busted.
ReplyDeleteback in the day also means rock ollies, tree slides, fall line films, FARMER, and pow slashers. i guess it still means the same thing once i think about it. as much as things changed, they also stayed the same !
Sounds like an average day riding now. Wilmoth, you know that Mammoth pict you sent? Got one coming for your ass from Whister after this weekend. Yea!
