Eddie Wall talks with Peter Line about the X-games, his girl friend, and competing in X-games women’s Superpipe.
Welcome to the ORIGINAL Earth-shattering fart…
It really is lovely to see someone working creatively to thwart the planet’s manmade problems Although the actual geographic location of this particular effort isn’t exactly in our own Minnesota backyard, ironically its still essentially in everyones backyard; the good ol’, sweet home, ever-loving, temperamental, hurricane spittin’, turbo-beyatch Mother Earth.
Sergei Zimov is the name of our gassy hero. ”Sometimes ya gotta stab ‘er repeatedly before she nearly blows your face off with a prehistoric fart!” says Mr. Zimov, whilst repeatedly jamming a metal rod into a defenseless, watery hole. Okay, he never said that, but I like to imagine him saying clever things like regularly. Just seems to fit with the grizzly, haggard beard.
What he does say, which you’ll no doubt discover after watching the video, is that his first documented utterance in the clip is one of the most profound and Earth-shattering statements yet made by a modern scientist… “This is ice.” Absolutely remarkable, folks.
Furthermore, the narrator in this film, although eloquently spoken, is conclusively a freedom-hating terrorist as he casually explains the melting permafrost in Chersky, Siberia as a result of “global warming.” Right when you think we’re past all the silly claims that the Earth is gradually warming due to manmade pollution and ozone depletion, someone comes along and says the Earth must be gradually warming due to manmade pollution and ozone depletion. How absurd. Case in point: Minnesota this winter.
Enjoy this film friends, no matter how riddled with seemingly sensical claims, evidence-based information, and admirable scientific deeds. Challenge question: Have YOU ever lit one of your own Earth-Shattering farts on fire? If so, tell us the story! Peace and Love.

Ladies and gentlemen, the highly-anticipated pt. II of Why Snowboarding is Dangerous | Hero Hour
Those kids are the other half of the family problem. Everyone knows that ski school is really just on-hill babysitting, but that hasn’t stopped some imported instructor from pumping kids full of the idea that two hours under their teaching has put them straight onto the heels of Shaun White.
When the fathers pick up their kids, each has the desire to show off burning inside them hotter than the fireplace back at the cabin. The aftermath of all this results in Dads hanging over rails like wet laundry while his kid is stuck on a nearby takeoff, looking like a detached segment of a human centipede attempting to crawl to safety.
Then, there are the heroes who get hurt in the park no matter what their ability level may be. These are the supermen of snow who have found their kryptonite…the lodge bar. Drinking at the elevations where resorts reside tones down everyone’s tolerance. Combine this phenomenon with an entire day of watching girls leave the bar with guys that can actually shred and suddenly those jumps look a lot smaller from the view of the barstool. The coming catastrophe is aided by the fact that the only thing keeping these guys out of the drop zone is a comfortably seated ride on a chairlift.
Most kids out there look up to heroes of all sorts, but beware young friends, these are not the ideal idols. Park crew and ski patrol are in charge of cleaning up these injuries. Since it takes a while to load up the meat cart and get the injured down to first aid, any employee getting involved in the rescue effort also risks a lengthened day. For this reason alone you are assured rookie treatment, on account of the experienced diggers and patrollers having already untied their boots and placed their gloves in front of the heater.
So how should an informed snowboarder like yourself avoid the pitfalls of Hero Hour? It’s the easiest trick tip ever; Know your ability. And if you don’t know it, one-drink some hot toddies and step up to a shot-ski before you strap in.
"Mom! Are you getting this?"
There is a time when every mountain experiences a period of simultaneous terror and joy; dependant on whether you’re there to pay the bills of living in a ski town, or for some R & R from that 9- 5 that’s got your hair turning grey at 24. This interesting epoch always occurs during the last sixty minutes of any resort’s operating hours, when visitors see their last chance to squeeze all the value out of that $70 day pass dangling from their zipper. This is Hero Hour, when boys try to become men, but usually just end up standing on a takeoff or splattered across the knuckle of a jump. Meanwhile, resort employees must deal with the nightmare of controlling this chaos.
It’s no secret that the mountain worker is a rare breed on many fronts, but Hero Hour really exemplifies the sacrifice they make in order to live where others vacation. Statistics show that 99.7% of the entire workforce prefers the last hour of the work day to any other, so you can deduce that the remaining .3% must be the diggers and patrollers that make your ski trip possible. Why is the mountain man not a fan of the last hour? Simple. The day ticket holder sees this on-snow span as a holy grail equivalent to the way that locals revere a midweek, bluebird powder day. When these folks reach the closing hour, it is not uncommon to see them tangled in slow fences, stuck in tree wells, or participating in the occasional liftline brawl.
Elementary math and vacation-minded reasoning are what feed this phenomenon. At 9am, a ticket has its full face value–whatever dollar amount the chosen mountain has charged for a day on their slopes. As hours pass and daylight dwindles, less time is left on the ticket, therefore risk equals reward to the hero as less time missed due to injury is being gambled with each risky maneuver.
Most of every hour’s heroes can be divided into two subgroups; the families and the drunks. Father figures tend to be the impetus for family participation in Hero Hour. A morning of ripping corduroy has got Dad reliving his glory days from the ol’ college ski team and now he’s ready to show those hoodlums in the board park what used to be the meanest double daffy this side of the Rockies. However, Dad will soon find out that two kids and a desk job have not left him as limber as he was in the days of keg and one-night stands…
Check back on Friday for pt. II of Hero Hour!
