Hey guys - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Nick Koan · 2003-10-23, 11:55 AM

Hey guys,

This is my first post and I just wanted to introduce myself. I recently moved back in with my parents in Placerville and started to get to know some of the Sac scene people. Went to the first weekly meet in Sac as well as the last S-Squared BBQ. I remember hanging out with some of you at the last BBQ listening to the A's game from Scott's (I think) car. I was the asian (half-asian to be pendantic) kid w/ the sheared head. Good friends with Sybir (the guy w/ the Black OB thats totally stickered up) and I showed up to both of those meets with him.

Anyways, I've had just about as much of my parents as I can stand, so I'm moving this winter up to South Lake Tahoe. I figured since I was moving closer to you all, it might be a good time to register on all ya'lls nice little message board thingie you got going on here.

Hope you don't mind another lurker who may post occasionally

ArthurS · 2003-10-23, 12:04 PM

Nice! Lake Tahoe is a awsome place to live. Gonna be cold..hehe.

Hope you can drop by for a meet or two every now and then. Not to mention, we might be having a group ski day or something sometime in the winter.

Cool man! Always glad to get more locals up on the board! I'm sure we'll be hitting a mountian at least once as a group. We need to check out Ben's skills!

dknv · 2003-10-23, 12:26 PM

might have to take a helicopter ride to check out Ben's skills!

MattR · 2003-10-23, 12:30 PM

Hell yeah, welcome dude...good to see you made it...

welcome

burtoncustomRS · 2003-10-23, 01:31 PM

A group ski day would be awesome!! By the way, who skis and who snowboards??? And who thinks that they're the best??? What brands do y'all ride?

I sport the Burton Custom. Been riding for 6 years.

dknv · 2003-10-23, 01:34 PM

Ski - dynastar.
Been wanting to try but scared to try snowboarding.

sperry · 2003-10-23, 01:38 PM

I'm on the biggest Burton they made 2 years ago, whatever it's called (6'4" and size 12 shoes, my feet still hang off)... and I totally suck at boarding.

Been doing it for only 2 years, but I'm so bad and in such bad shape that I almost dread going up. I keep thinking that I've got enough hobbies and I should sell my board... but if the group is going to all go, I might as well humiliate myself again this winter.

You know Brendan?

Nick Koan · 2003-10-23, 01:40 PM

Heh, I'm gonna go for my first real season of snowboarding this winter. I've been going off and on for about 6 years now... and I can barely make it down the bunny slope w/o falling.

I skied from when I was 4 or 5 but I haven't gone in about 4 years ago or so. I only stopped cause I moved to Southern California, and whenever I was back at my parents, I always seemed to pick snowboarding over skiing.

burtoncustomRS · 2003-10-23, 01:41 PM

Hey, props to you for doing it. Maybe I can give you some pointers or help you out a little, if you don't mind taking advice from a girl :wink: .

You should try snowboarding some time dknv, it's fun!

Well, if autox'ing is one of your hobbies, its resting in the winter anyway, so you needed something to take its place. :wink:

It's not the time I'm concerned about, it's the money... I need the money I'm spending on boards and lift tix to pay for my coilovers and ECU remaps!

dknv · 2003-10-23, 01:46 PM

I hear you! I wanna buy those kodiaks & konis.....

I'll take advice from anyone that can help keep me from eating shit repeatedly as I tumble down the mountain.

Mine did, I just couldn't afford to buy my own

and gave up. Seriously, carting at that age is such a great idea

tysonK · 2003-10-23, 09:14 PM

I Ski.

I'll go on the group mountian day.

going down the hill is better with friends.

If you count sliding down a mountain on your ass with a snow board attached to your feet snowboarding... then I board too.
