Chris : depends what you mean by cork. I would say that is at least a double cork straight air.
ben : it is a pretty cool trick though.
ben : that aint no double cork.
Guest_894 : article and video on transfer website about torahs double cork. cant be bothered posting a link
Guest_2365 : 3251- Sissy Wish- Dependance
Concerned : Guest 3251, Stop putting up links to gay porn.
Guest_2199 : for any non haters out there....tsc's breck website, kids are killing it! breck.transitionist.com
Guest_2573 : damn i want to go to woodward
mg : any news on Torahs double cork?
Dave : 3251 - I think it was Sissy Wish but I can't remember the song name. I'll find out for you!
Guest_3251 : Whats marc bakers song in two weeks in anyone ?
Rick : Thanks Jay, just got the press release.
jason maxfield : ben mates 7th canadian open..... good stuff bro
Nipples : Yer you know it's good
Rick : Thanks for the detailed feedback on the site guys. I've notced some of those issues myself. I'll get on it and improve the page refresh and ticker. Anything else worth tweaking?
Guest_2777 : maybe you should get better internet
Request 2.0 : Can I also request to lose some of the animated features like the scrolling news. It takes abit to load them and with the refresh going so frequently its sucks my data download. Thanks for listening but understand if you don't
Dave : Unfortunately Mt Dew BFS Sydney postponed due to persistent terrible weather.
Dave : It's 2.35pm and I think we'll get a yes/no if the comp is happening shortly...
Dave : Looks like maybe a 2pm kick off for the comp ... That's about when the break in the weather is due.
Dave : Mt Dew contest is holding for clearer weather... Hoping to run in about 30 to 60 mins time. Will let you know.
Guest_1092 : over all the hate, if it was a hatebox it would be called this!
Guest_643 : last time i looked ballistyx had a link directkly to pop and pop had a story on ballistyxs bowl so it looks like these guys are working together which is awesome, must be just a couple of haters stirring the pot because the post the haters jumped on, looked like it was justs a heads up not a pr source
Guest_4578 : Anyone know if they have canned the Dew Battle today - raining like a mo fo!
laidlaw : sorry for double post
laidlaw : New vid check it - «link»
laidlaw : «link»
SD : Agreed 2959.... I'm sure there's no hate, just people stirring the pot trying to cause conflict!
Guest_2959 : PLEASE not the pop vs ballistyx thing again. Sooo over it.
Guest_2491 : Really?
Guest_621 : its getting real boring to see ballystix use this site as a pr source
Miccador : Torsteins a classic human «link»
Guest_2557 : yeah and it will be on pop soon, do you have to remind us every time something happens on the ballistyx site. seriously sell snowboards and let the mags do their job.
Guest_4313 : theres a vid of robbie walker at woodward on the ballistyx website, pretty cool
BenD : I concur with ben, the refreshing regime is set a bit quick and is slightly irritating.
BenD : I also think we need to teach some of these Gen Y types how to spell and use correct grammar
ben : can you guys stop pop from auto refreshing. its bloody annoying somethimes. especially with a slow net connection waiting for a vid to load up.g
Grommet : But seriously, there is no need for unnessicary hate, Pop mag is dope.
Grommet : Embrace the hate! haha
BenD : Where has constructive critism gone? I'm all for constructive critism however the content of a lot of these anonymous goons is just down right stupid. Let's all support our industry so that it gets more of a profile here in Australia!!!
UMPIRE : a broader range of media for others to see whether it's good or bad.
UMPIRE : Rick, don't get sucked into the negative dribble that seems to b endlessly appearing in here. Pop doesn't have 2 defend itself or justify itself to incognito guests. If someone likes another mag better than yours, good on them. The truth of the matter is 4 any website/magazine 2 operate it has 2 rely on money from advertises. The good thing about POP and the SHOUT box is it gives an open platform for anyone "Not Just The Boys" to be able to post a link to anything they want, thus increasing
Rick : I for one like Transfer. It's my favorite Ausitralia snowboard magazine by far. The magazine is perfect for someone like me. A serious 'snowboarders' magazine from Australia. No gimmics, it takes pride in itself and runs quality photos and mature stories. I buy it. I appreciate the support Guest_1650, but I see Transfer being completely different to what Dave and I are trying to do with Pop.
Macca : transfer mag actually give an unbias view on things this website is jobs for the boys which makes its views and acticles completely irrelevent in the australian snowboarding scene that why it struggles for good content.
Guest_1650 : Transfer mag sucks don't waste your time looking at it. they are just trying to copy pop but are doing a shit job.
Guest_2404 : Hate hate hate
Shannon : 3025 I was just referencing the weight or Ryan's dong.
Jake : I also dare the "guests" to put their own names up for once.
Jake : To all of you kids out there that have nothing better to do then hate on the latest thing on the internet, you can go and get fucked. You only have so much time on this earth let alone how much time you have being capable to do whatever you want. Go ahead, hate on me, I couldnt care less, I'm in Japan riding powder every day. Charles, Mikey and Jye did a stellar job. Nice work pals.
Jake : Ha, the broke dirtbags eh?
Guest_3025 : Shannon, are you referencing Gucci Mane?
☮ : peace
....... : FUCK THE HATERS! ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮ ☮☮☮☮☮☮
Guest_3763 : tlaidlaw is, dont try and say anything different. he is so up tight fuck
Agree 4.0 : Keep up the good work Rick and Crew. If it wasn't for the REAL, Hard Working, Non Judgmental people in our sport that make the rocking world go round, the industry would implode in an explosion of self-gratificati on and loathing of those who try make something of it.
Rick : Everyone in that latest post, Charles, Jye and Mikey work hard to go snowboarding. None of them are spoilt rich kids. We'll put anyone on Pop, especially the broke dirtbags.
Guest_love! : problem is with snowboarding most the kids who do it are spoil little rich kids, and the ones who aren't are doing seasons and rarely on pop.
Shannon : *heard
Shannon : Hey Ryan I that 'thing' of yours is heavy. REAL HEAVY.
Guest_1270 : crab a go pro helmet hero camera, their rad
