This past weekend I joined forces with
Jess and we took on the hills and dales of eastern NY. Janice, basically the heart and soul of NENSA, generously offered us a place to stay and coached us and drove us around and gave us a bike escort on an OD and fed us. Life was pretty cushy. We started with some intense hillbounding in 99% humidity, then we did some skate technique, then we did a strength test. Day two was a wicked long OD (complete with bicycle and then car escort) and then more technique. Then I drove home. And I was tired.
Also of note, I tried a powerbar for the first time since 2001, and it was good! Gone was the peanut-butter-flavored-cardboard I remembered. They were the "energize" powerbars, with fruit concentrate in them, and really, it went down like gummy bears. Which is to say, easily.
Here, Jess models her sexy duct-taped-bumblebee-boots.
Stephi and her mickey mouse gloves...

the worn out bumblebee boots are where its at, especially when duct tape is required to hold them together.
Why is it that Salomon boots always break at the zipper? Oh right, because they're poorly designed...
Whatev... you're just jealous!
Thanks for posting that photo of Jess' boots. I just had a zipper blow out on a pair of Fischers. I was thinking about having a new zipper sewn in, but the duct-tape method seems to make more sense to me now. Simply ingenius!

My zipper hasn't broken yet, I've just put so many kms on the boots that they're worn out. Plus, they're infinitely comfortable. Alpina and Rossi boots make my feet and ankles hurt after all of 3k of skiing.
Luke, we must have infinitely different feet, because I think Salomon boots are sheer torture...
something to do with size 12 wide feet vs. whatever you have
