What I learned about snowboarding

March 31st, 2007

I went with my brother’s friends to Lake Tahoe on Friday, they gave me a couple of good pointers and tips to tear up the mountain. I’ve gone once before, but myexperiences were limited to falling down the mountain several times. Since then, I’ve learned a couple of things.

    • Go to the bathroom before hand. You don’t want to have to go while up there.
    • Keep your weight forward, always. Otherwise, you’ll fall. Also, it’s hard to steer with your weight in the back.
    • Keep your knees bent.
    • Don’t go faster than what you’re used to.
    • Keep on the edges of the board.
    • Keep hydrated.
    • Boreal has 10$ fridays (you can use the lift all day on fridays for only 10$).
    • Wear sunscreen and chapstick, the sun reflects off the ice and you can get burned.
    • Don’t wear too much, it can get really hot when the sun is out.
    • If you are going fast enough, you cut across bumps like a knife.

      Eddie Griffin crashes an Enzo Ferrari worth $1.5 million

      March 28th, 2007

      He was testing it at a track for the upcoming movie Redline, when he rammed it into a concrete wall. I’m wondering why they put a concrete wall there. It’d probably be safer for noobs like Griffin if they didn’t have the concrete wall.

      The director of the movie (Daniel Sadek) owns a few of the exotics that are seen in the movie, as well as the Ferrari that was crashed by Griffin. He was actually watching as it happened.

      “Undercover Brother’s good at karate and all the rest of that, but brother can’t drive,” Griffin said after the accident.

      I’m not convinced about the former, but the latter seems to have concrete evidence (ZING!).

      There are now only 398 Enzo Ferraris left in the world.

      The 2008 Infiniti G37: More horsepower, better interior, but more weight

      March 23rd, 2007

      Infiniti G37 Front View

      The 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe is the successor of the Infiniti G35, which is one of Nissan/Infiniti’s best selling cars. It’s a car I’ve been raving about it to my friends since I heard it a few months ago. I’d definately like to get my hands on one.

      The first thing I’d like to point out about the new car is the front’s aesthetics. The front headlights are shaped much more aggressively and I think that’s awesome. In the past, they had these awkward bug-eyed looking headlights that made me think that if they didn’t have them, I would be driving one right now. It’s because I think the rear tail lights are the most well designed of all the imports, with the Toyota Altezza’s (Lexus IS300, which has styling close to perfection) close behind. Why? Personal preference. Everyone has their own, and I’m merely stating mine.The G37 will also have ANGEL EYES, which are a spectacular addition and will make it really stand out at night.

      The second think I’d like to point out the increase in horsepower. It used to be 275 hp and will be going up to 330 hp. On top of this, it’s mpg is actually going to increase!

      The G37 will be available with a 6-speed manual transmission (6MT) or a 5-speed automatic 6MT and sport-pack automatics. Of course, I’d opt for the manual transmission as it’s more fun to drive and after you get used to it – it isn’t bothersome, it’ll be built into your routine and automated.
