    Shutter Island

    All clues in the movie points to the fact that Leo WAS definitely crazy. I just couldn't help but think there's something more though. I just can't quite place the importance of all these cigarettes throughout the movie. The notable scenes that I can remember: 1. Leo couldn't get the cigarettes...

    How do you like the 2010 Sierra Crew? Tell me in terms of board flex and how does it handle park and groomed run/jumps?

    How do you like the change from Burton Missions to Cartels? I'm using Missions right now, my boots tend to slightly moved inside the binding when I do a lot of jumps and grabs, even though I had it on tight. Thinking of getting a different bindings, maybe Cartels but they are expensive.

    snowboarders help meh

    This. Just don't be overconfident though, the key is progress at a level you are comfortable with. I tried jumps on my first year of riding and landed on my back, shoulder. Hurt a lot and I stopped trying to push myself too much. I decided to avoid park, learn to ride comfortably on a blue...

    snowboarders help meh

    Riding Goofy or normal is just whatever you are most comfortable with. In the end though you will progress to a point where you want to be able to ride with both stance. Especially when you want to ride park. This is what I am doing right now I'm relearning to ride again with a normal stance...

    Your duck stance is a no no for a beginner, you will have a hard time to maneuver your board. Change to Duck stance once you are comfortable riding Goofy so that you can learn to ride switch (alternating from Goofy stance to normal and vice versa). Just use 0 angle at the back and 15 at the...

    Good overall workout without stressing the knee

    Yup it's pretty much like you said. I'm improving the muscles that support the knee right now but the therapy is a chore and a bore. I'm gonna read more on the replies when I finish working today. I don't think I will have a problem if my pose is like the dead-lift picture. I'm more worried...

    Good overall workout without stressing the knee

    I don't squat that much yet though but the problem is my knee hurts even from playing basketball and running on the hard ground (that's why I run on elliptical now). I checked with the doctor and he basically said that my knee cap moved to the side more than normal and the constant friction...

    Good overall workout without stressing the knee

    Thanks for the advise. I think my pose when sitting is pretty bad the way I slouch, it makes sense that I'm bulging more at the stomach, I gotta correct that. I'm not gonna run for 2 hours that's gonna waste too much of my time at the gym. Like you said 45 to 1 hour is probably the max. I...

    Good overall workout without stressing the knee

    Like the title said, what's a good workout that doesn't stress the knee? I have an unbalance knee cap so I can't do any deadlift or squat. I do different type of resistance training, training the biceps, triceps, chest, back, hips, etc plus at least half hour of elliptical at the gym. It...

    Landlord cashed my check before I signed the lease! (** GOT MY $$$ **)

    I think my Bank only charged like $8 for it. My business sometime deals with customer who send in checks and it's a nightmare to deal with. Even though the check cleared and money went into bank account, that does not mean they can't do a stop payment or that the check funding has been...
