        I was actually thinking about getting into rolling this summer but I know almost nothing about it. Know any decent beginner skates I could try?

              Or any kind for that matter. I love my cruiser.
              I do it because I can.
              I can because I want to.
              I want to because you said I couldn't.

                  Bill:

                  That list is just great. I definitely suggest "Get a job in an office" for anybody who really, really, really wants to be ready for the next season to start and will be highly motivated to get out on a mountain - any mountain in any condition anwhere and anytime. Locking yourself up in a hermetically sealed box and living life in a corporate cube farm will surely get you ready to rip when the snow flies again.....

                  I would like to add:

                  --Try something that scares you. If it scares you badly enough try it at least twice

                  --Go to a zoo and see a wild animal up close in its enclosure from the same side of the glass the animal is on

                  --Swim with a polar bear

                  --Swim with penguins

                  --Learn to ride a motorcycle

                  --If you already know how to ride a motorcycle - go ride one, often

                  --Do something everyday that makes you laugh

                  --Dance - preferrably in a crowded public place even if there is no music

                  --Create playlists that enhance the riding experience so your favorite device is loaded and ready to rock when you are

                  --Create playlists of music you really don't like - then delete that music from your library - no sense in keeping it around anymore - Yanni is never good

                  --Run through the woods at high speed dodging in between trees and jumping off of everything you can find - this will prepare you for Mount Bohemia where you will do the same thing except in deep powder with skiboards strapped to your feet

                  --Close your eyes for a few minutes and remember your favorite runs from this season - guaranteed to make you smile and feel better

                  --Dream of going to Shredfest V - and then make your reservations

                  --Dream of going to Midwest Meet at Bohemia - and then make your reservations

                  --Do something nice for a stranger - it makes you feel good and puts a credit in your karma bank

                  --Share your knowledge of skiboarding with a noob - helps them and puts a credit in your karma bank

                  --Sleep with your skiboards - they need to feel the love
                  In pursuit of Peace, Harmony and Flow.....

                      I was familiar with the text of that but had never seen the video(s). I really like that a lot. Maybe that was in the deep recesses of my mind and was channeled into my keyboard. I am probably not that clever on my own.

                        Things to avoid:

                        American beer

                        New Jersey sushi

                        Getting drunk and having a "friend" give you a tattoo

                        Contracting herpes

                        Church on Sunday. Go on Wednesday. What the hell else are you doing on a Wednesday night? Make sure to talk to and if appropriate hug women that know your mother.

                        Your friends girlfriends - even if they broke up

                        Any girl you friends girlfriends say are "cute" but you nor anyone you know has actually seen. If you choose to ignore this advice at least be smart enough to take a large, reflective object with you and only look at her in the reflection.

                        Activities that will likely end with the statement "You are now under arrest"

                          Mahatma:

                          Things to avoid:

                          --American beer - how long have you been in Japan? The American beer revolution started a long, long time ago...

                          --Church on Sunday. Go on Wednesday. What the hell else are you doing on a Wednesday night? ....now that is just plain funny....

                          More things to avoid:

                          --Any activity that is likely to lead to you saying "don't taze me bro!"

                          --Getting drunk and having a friend pierce any of your body parts (I can speak to that from personal experience)

                          --Situations that make you give up on your dreams

                          --People that bring you down

                          --Mean dogs

                          --Mean people

                          --Mean people walking mean dogs

                          --Mean dogs walking mean people

                          --People who ask you when you are going to be able to ski on grown-up skis

                          --Throwing up in your own car

                          --Wearing shoes that make your feet hurt

                          --Wearing ski boots that make your feet hurt

                          --Wearing underwear that gives you a wedgie

                          --Wearing itchy clothes

                            I'm actually not a fan of beer at all. I don't like the taste and it just doesn't get the job done. I prefer wine and hard liquor.

                            I know some great sushi restaurants in Jersey. It's sushi restaurants in land locked states that you have to worry about.

                            Herpes, the gift that keeps on giving.

                            Wednesday nights are for open mics and jamming.

                            Under arrest…see below.

                            Ask a stranger if you can try some of whatever they are eating
                            Does the crime and jail statement count as finally getting to meet your prison pen pal?

                            How much air is considered "air?"

                            Hunting with the former vice president is a terrible idea. FACE SHOT

                            Power failure…check!

                            Instead of a tomato, how about a huge clump if toilet paper soaked with water and thrown into an open from metal bladed fan?

                            Hopscotch with real scotch…That's like drunken kickball

                            Jumping off your roof into a pool?

                            Traveling with no money, eh? Does getting mugged count?

                            Make sure you film asking the stranger if you can try some. Especially if they let you.

                            During the safari ride at Six Flags in New Jersey the monkeys tore off the antenna and bumped from my friend's car. Does that count?

                            Is there an age limit on that one? And, does it have to be your own car?
