Backyard Snowboarding

[Xia_Ke]

Okay, these aren't quite up to the caliber of what you guys are doing but, a friend of mine that snowboards lives in the apartment below me. He has a little mini snowboard park set-up in our backyard and he was making the best of whats left of the snow after this mornings rain. Been having fun with the Holga so went out to fart around with him. Also, don't think I've ever posted in this forum and thought it about time...

Nice Aaron, I think I will put in an order for a Holga when I get paid.....
How did you wind up taping it up?

[Xia_Ke]

No tape at all Greg. I had some seal strips left over from a seal kit I got on Ebay from Jon Goodman. I put them in the grooves around the edge of the back cover. I am going to have to reinforce the sides clamps though as the the seals are stressing it a bit. So far it's holding but I don't have much faith in holding for much longer.

You did these with your Holga?
NICE!

Thanks Brian I was surprised they came out as well as they did. My friend was pretty pumped on them and threw them up on his website.

nice shots, I like them. At first I thought you bought a lensbaby! Makes me want to board...gotta get it tuned up before next wek.

[Xia_Ke]

You're not tuned up?!?! And with all this snow we've had??? My friend is loving it. For Christmas he got a season pass to Shawnee Peak and 5 free passes to Sunday River so he's pumped now

no, unfortunately I got back from school pretty late, and ive been workin too much. I used to be a snowboard instructor, so I'm used to getting free everything, then as soon as I quit i realize how expensive everything is. That's why im big into backcountry, because it's freeee! plus you get fresh powder all the time. Only downside is that there can't be TOO much powder or its very hard to maneuver.
