this is so true. the guy that creamed me was wearing one of those space age stealth suits that looked like a diving outfit, complete with aerodynamic helmet...ahhaha.
but i did find the exception to the rule. i met this guy when i first got there named steve i think. i cant exactly remember, BUT i do remember him getting out of the car with white hair (yes, he was probably 60+) and pulling a k2 fat bob from the mid 90's out of the back of his land rover, wearing a full on burton snowboard outfit designed for my generation. best of all, and this is why i had to meet him, he was sporting switch type-x bindings. these were my all time fav step ins, but finding boots to fit them were a major problem, especially in the south. a fat bob with switch x's was my dream setup when i bought my k2 dart soooo many years ago.
