What does Christianity, 9/11, & the Federal Reserve have in common?

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."
-Jimi Hendrix

 "The Christian religion is a parody on the warship of the sun, in which they put a man called Christ in the place of the sun, and pay him the adoration originally payed to the sun."
 - Thomas Paine

 

"They must find it difficult....those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than the truth as authority."
-G. Massey, Egyptologist

 

"Religion can never reform mankind, because religion is slavery."
-Robert G. Ingersoll, 1833-1899

 

"There is something behind the throne greater than the king himself."
-Sir William Pit, House of Lords, 1770

 

"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."
-Benjaman Dislaeli, English Statesman, 1844

 

"The real truth of the matter is that a finacial element in the large centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson."

"Power Corrupts; Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely." -Lord Acton, English Historian, 1834-1902

 

I belive that the banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies.... If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency.... The banks and corporations that will grow up arownd them will dprive the people of their property until their children wakeup homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

SledClub.com News: Cody Borchers Interview
By: SledClub.com


                                                    Cody Borchers



                                                      



Age: 29
Residing:
Calgary, AB
Sponsors: A&E Racing, Ski-doo, Martin Chrysler, Slednecks, Blue Marble Oil, RK Tek, Bulldog
Decks, Dyno Port, Fly racing, HMK, OGIO, Fox Helmets, MBC, Oakley, AMP.

 

What got you into sledding and how long have you been doing it for?

 

My buddy Pat and his family. I use to live in Sherwood Park, AB and I
would hang out at his house whenever I could. His family had a bunch of
sleds and I was allowed to come over and enjoy. It continued from there.  Then my
family moved to Cochrane, AB.   My brother and I worked to save up enough
money to buy XLT Polaris'.  We met a couple guy's in a local riding area
near Cochrane. They saw that we had enough talent to take us to Golden, BC.
And that was the first time in the mountains. Ever since then we just
couldn't get enough.  Now here I am.

 

What kind of sled/s did you ride this year and what mods did you do to it/
them?

 

I have 2 sleds this season and they are 07 Race chassis' with 800 Ski-doo
power plants. One has a RT Tek piston head kit with a Dyno Port pipe and
silencer that works amazing. It sure makes a difference from stock. The
other one has a 06 power tek 800 that is stock with a Dyno port pipe and
silencer. With a couple of little tricks and that’s it.........(top secret)
Haha!!!

 

You had an early season injury.  What happened?

 

I broke my Rt Radius and wrist. I had a plate and 8 screws put in. That was
pretty sh**ty. It happen December 8 in Colorado at the Compound. I was
trying to learn freestyle. I over jumped the landing, landed flat and snap!

This started your season off on a bad note. Were you still able to reach
all your goals for the year?

 

Yes it was hard to take, I love all times of the winter and I missed out on
a lot of early season riding. I started riding mid February and battled
cloudy days after days. It took awhile to get the confidence back, but I
have been able to do everything I wanted to accomplish.


                                                                                                          DomG Photo

You just finished sledding in Whistler.  Who where there with and
how did that go for you?

 

Whistler was awesome this year, I got to ride with Rob Alford, Geoff Kyle,
Ray Archer, Chris Brown, Chris Burandt, Cory Davis, Randy Sherman and Dan
Treadway. It was a good time and there were a couple ups and downs, but that
is a part of sledding.

 

What videos can we look out for in seeing you in this year?

 

Slednecks 10, Frontier Films, maybe Matchstick and maybe On The Pipe, we’ll
see about those. It would be sweet to be in a Ski Video, and Moto Video.


Where did you get to sled this winter?

 

Revelstoke BC, Whistler BC and Colorado.


Do you stay at Rob Alfords bed and breakfast when you’re  in Revy?

 

Oh for sure, it’s a really nice place to stay. Rob always invites me.

 

I hear he can cook a pretty mean breakfast. Is this true?

 

Rob cooks a mean one.  Then I have to clean up the mess....Haha. Robby makes
it a good visit for all his guests!

 

What would you pick if you could only choose one;  Deep pow descents, big
drops or huge booters?

 

Oh man. I love it all too much to choose one.


What about between gnarly flips or tweaked out whips?

 

Well gnarly flips are ballz and they’re pretty wild. Tweaked out whips are
the funnest things to do, I can't get enough of them. There's no other
feeling then throwing a big whip and being upside down.


You have been tweaking those whips out pretty good lately!  any secrets?

 

Thanks, I have been trying to get better at them. It takes practice and
practice for me.


What do you think about the new 2008 Rev XP?  And would you consider
riding on one next year?

 

I have ordered 2 for next year. Ski-doo has changed snowmobiling again. I
want to be on them as soon as possible. They look cool. Can’t wait!


Any advice you can give to someone before heading into the backcountry?

 

Yes, Avalanche gear and take a course as well.  Make sure you know how to use it!
Because the only survival out there is you and your group! Make sure to be
prepared for anything. Bring things to keep warn and be prepared to stay
over night. Things can change so fast while being out there.  Be sure to bring lots of
water and food,  your buddy might forget his....... Use your Head,
common sense and have fun!


Any words of wisdom or quotes to live by?

 

Work Hard and Play Harder. Treat people the way you want to be treated..

 

Any last comments or people you want to give thanks to?

 

Thanks to all my sponsors and everybody that makes it possible for me to do
this.

 

Thanks for your time Cody


No problem,

Thank you.

                        A SledClub Interview With Ross Mercer  


                                                     

                          
Age: 25
Residing: Whitehorse, Yukon
Sponsors:  -RedBull 
                  -SKi-Doo 
                  -Oakley
                  -Yukon Honda
                  -Taits Trailer sales

                  -Planet Powersports



When you planned on going for the record, did you ever second guess or ask yourself is this actually possible or can my sled even go fast enough?

Not really. I knew I could do it, I actually thought my sled would be plenty
fast enough, but because of the elevation and temperatures it was actually
very close. I was hitting the ramp at full speed at the end with a huge
in run.


Did you do any special training or mods to your sled before going for the
record distance jump?


No. On the first day i was hitting the ramp full speed and not going far
enough, about 246. For the second day I geared my sled up, put on a
lightweight can and took the foam out of my airbox to try to make it faster.
We also extended the run in and for the last jump that i broke the record on
we had the entire inrun salted so it was frozen and hard, which made a big
difference.


What type of sled were you riding while going for the record jump?

I rode my 2007 Skidoo Rev Race chassis with a stock 800 engine. It is a
great sled and it worked perfectly for this jump.


Was there any support or sponsorship from them for the jump?

Yeah, Ski-Doo really helped me out this year. They hooked me up with a
couple of new 2007 sleds which have been great all season.


In general, do you think there should be more support from snowmobile
manufactures for the riders that are pushing the limits of the sport?


Well, the more support the riders get the more they can work at pushing the
limits of the sport. The last couple years have been really great for the
sport. There have been a number of events that have really pushed it into
the mainstream. RedBull has done events all over the world, the event in Red
Square Moscow, the Fuel and Fury event in Alaska last year etc, as well as
the fact that freestyle sledding was a gold medal event at the winter X
games this year have all brought it to the worlds attention. The
manufacturers are definately noticing us now and stepping up to the plate. I
am really excited to be working with SKi-Doo and hope that freestyle can
become a big part of their advertising, the way racing is.


How many paramedics were on stand by while you were going for the record?

I dont know. There was an ambulance standing by and a few people who were
there to deal with any kind of situation that might arise. It was reasuring
to have them there for sure.


What was your pre jump meal?

Well, I had a good crash in Slovenia about 5 days prior to my record
attempt, so I was really sore going into this. On the first day I ate 2 bags
of chips and 12 ibuprofins all day and had a couple RedBulls. The second day
I dont remember what I ate, a sandwich or a muffin or something i think.
lots of ibuprofins and RedBulls as well of course!


Now that you are in the Guinness Book of World Records have you started
getting love letters on Sledclub.com from all the hotties?

Not really but maybe things will  pick up here soon. Maybe this interview
will help.


I hear you were using a radar gun, how fast were you clocked at before
hitting the jump?


79 mph or so. Probably about 80 off the ramp, I held it pinned all the way
up the ramp.


What video/s can we look out for in seeing your record jump in?

It will be in SledNecks 10, Two Stroke Cold Smoke 10, I think its going to
be in the next Nitro Circus as well.


Being from the Yukon/Canada, what's the stupidest question a fan has asked
you about where your from?


Well, i dont know. Yesterday I went through the drive through at
McDonalds and got asked if it was for here or to go. There are lots of
stupid questions. It seems that a lot of people think the Yukon is in
Alaska. I am actually really surprised when I am travelling how many people
actually do know where the Yukon is.


Anyone you want to thank for helping making this event happen?

Yeah I would like to thank all my sponsors of course for their great support
this season. Everyone who was a part of this did a great job and worked very
hard to make it happen. Chris and Clayton at the compound for all their
work. I guess my biggest thanks has to go to RedBull for investing so much
in me and making all this happen. All the encouragement and props from
people back home and from around Canada go a long way too, it's cool to hear
from people who are stoked on what i am doing. I like to think I am making
Canadians proud.

That you are indeed!
Keep up the good work! We look forward in seeing you keep pushing the sport and  bringing it to new levels!

On May 17th, Panasonic challenged filmmakers to show what “Share the Air” means to them in the form of a 24-second action sports film.  Submitted videos will be reviewed and evaluated by Panasonic and renowned

>action sports filmmakers Ty Evans and Aaron Meza.

Submissions will be accepted and prizes awarded for two distinct entry periods: May 17th – July 14th 2006 and July 15th – January 15th, 2007.

About the Prize:
The AG-HVX200 HD Camera-Recorder Puts a Host of Powerful Features in Your Hands
This handheld DVCPRO HD P2 camera-recorder is designed to meet emerging needs in HD content production. It debuts as Panasonic's first HD video product to use P2, the cutting-edge memory recording device that has the potential to revolutionize the entire production paradigm. The AG-HVX200 records HD, either 1080i or 720p video acquired by a new optical system and high-performance digital signal processor onto a P2 card using the broadcasting DVCPRO HD codec. This system achieves a level of image quality that conventional handheld HD cameras simply cannot match, while also supporting HD/SD multi-format and multi-codec recording capabilities. Variable frame rate recording is just one of the features that makes the AG-HVX200 unique in its class. Using technologies that make the Panasonic VariCam camera-recorder a favorite in movie production, this powerful function allows the overcranking and undercranking techniques used with film cameras to create fast-motion and slow-motion effects. The P2 card offers superior reliability, immediate playback and outstanding cost-performance. It allows direct connection to nonlinear editing systems and streamlines the production work flow, by providing to the editing system data files ready to be edited, rather than a video tape which would require the task of digitizing. On top of all its advanced features and technologies, the AG-HVX200 inherits the refined design and easy operation that distinguishes Panasonic's high-value DVX100 DV camera series. In the AG-HVX200, video professionals of all kinds will find a powerful tool for giving form to their creative visions.

As for other stuff--- One of my recent hobbies is tropical fish. For the last three years I've had a very pretty betta kinda like the one:
betta[1].jpg (this isn't my actual betta, just a pic of one off the internet that looks similar to him. Mine acutally changes color in the light -- when he's fiesty, he turns a puplish color on the body and end of his fins get reddish, when passively swimming and most of the time, he's blue. When he's napping he turns mostly green. At age 3½ my betta is still going strong. About a month ago I went to WalMart and picked up a 10 gallon aquarium set up and have just had him in it. I've been meaning to add "friends" and did that today. Today, I got three corydoras, each look like these pics:
cory3.jpg
So far, the most active little one is my albino cory.
The next favorite:
cory1.jpgIt's not the prettiest but he's also active and swimming around. The albino and patch corys are about 1.5 cm in length from head to tail(that's just a touch over half an inch).  If they ever "outgrow" my tank I'll take them when they're all nice and big to the local fish store and with store credit, exchange them and get smaller ones again 2-3 years down the road.

The third fish I got is a spotted cory. He looks like:
cory2.jpgSo far, he's the most boring inactive fish. All three came from a different tank at the store, so who knows if he was already ill. He may just be scared though too. He's bigger than the other two at 4.7 cm (nearly 2 inches) from tip to tail.
My betta is the biggest with his body alone(not including his long flowing fins) measuring in at approx. 6.2 cm(about 2.5 inches).
Fish UPDATE: Okay, I disovered something interesting since getting my new cory today. The spotted one in the pic like above is pregnant with a fat belly. After doing some online research, I now understand why the fish have been acting a bit unusual. An interesting tidbit on how corys mate that I found on the net: During breeding, the males will exhibit a mating dance, touching the female's dorsal. If the female is receptive, the male will vibrate the body to initate spawning.... The female then sucks the sperm out into her mouth from the male's genital pore. At this point the female ejects a batch of eggs which is uniquely held between her veentral fins. And after finding a suitable site, she then spits out the sperm onto the site and attaches the eggs, at which time fertilisation occurs.

After my vacation in the next week or so I plan to add a couple of more fish.. probably 6-8 neons, or maybe 3-4 platties which are kinds of fish that will get along with my betta. Someday I'll even get pics of my actual tank and fish; my OLD digital camera isn't working, my web cam isn't working, so it may be awhile. The scanner works but I can't exactly lay the fishtank on that ;) 

WHAT THE?!?
So while doing an internet search to check the correct spelling of a medication, I see this google ad to the side:
Tarceva

YEAH RIGHT!! Everyone has 2 grand to buy pills with . It's a cancer drug, but still...  yikes!

Well, it is 4:00 am here in AK. I have been having SERIOUS computer troubles while trying to get this edit kicked off. Now that I have it going I am taking a break... The weather around here was cloudy for most of the contest, Dan and I headed up north Wednesday to check things out and it paid off. There was fresh pow and the cloud coverage was thinner than down near Turnagin. Thursday afternoon the weather cleared up and EVERYONE went WILD! It was mayham! You will see tomorrow when the videos are posted.

Snowboard.com News: The Tournament
By: snowboard.com

April 2nd 2006


Event brief
 

On April 2nd 2006 Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta will play host to The Tournament. This new twist on the team challenge event format will pit team against team in a battle where strategy, skill, and an ability to ride all types of terrain will be the keys to success. Each team rider will compete in one of the three arenas - the quarterpipe, the jump, or the urban jib.  All sessions will have cash prizing for the top three finishers.  The team with the best overall results will take home $6 000 cash, as well as prizes worthy of THE TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS!

 

Competition OUTLINE

 

THE TOURNAMENT offers Canada’s up and coming amateur talent the breakthrough opportunity to compete with top pro riders to vie for cash and bragging rights. This team challenge competition will require a rider from each to compete in one of the three arenas. Riders will compete in 90 min. sessions against members of the opposing teams. Team members will not be competing against each other. Teams will consist of 3 riders. Each rider must compete in only one of the three arenas of competition. A maximum of 35 team entries will be allowed. This will ensure each session will afford riders ample opportunity to showcase their quiver of tricks.

 Strategy is the key to this competition as teams choose which member competes in each arena. For a team to be awarded the title of THE TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS they must excel in all 3 arenas over the course of the entire day of competition from frozen morning jibbing to slushy afternoon quarterpipes.  Properly choosing when to exploit your teams’ strengths will make the difference between

success and failure.


 

 

THE Courses

Riders will be presented with terrain and obstacles designed to challenge and inspire all levels of competitor. THE TOURNAMENT will consist of three arenas - the Quarterpipe, the Urban Jib, and the Jump.

 

The Quarterpipe will be a 22’ high monster with wallride and jib options.  Riders will be judged on all the features of this unique quarterpipe. Giant airs will be necessary, but you must slay the entire beast to take the top spot.

 

The Urban Jib will demand versatility and creativity. This unique course will consist of a gauntlet of rails, boxes, wallrides, ledges, bombdrops, and a chimera. 

 

The Jump; The simplest of all the competition arenas. This 50’ straight jump will provide riders the opportunity to display their entire repertoire of tricks.  The jump will have multiple takeoffs.  Booters, floaters, and something out of the ordinary for the true combatant. 

 

STRATEGY

 

To win The Tournament each team will need to employ a strategy unique to their team that takes advantage of the team challenge format.  Each session will consist of a maximum of 35 competitors, each from different teams.  Points will be awarded to each competitor for their final placing in each session.  Teams will accumulate points for each session. The team with the highest points total from all the sessions will be the overall TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS.  Teams must choose who will compete in each arena.  Alberta in the springtime can be hazardous and icy at 11am, and windy and too soft in the afternoon of the same day. Choosing which team member can ride the best in the varying conditions will be vital to success.  Although, it has been known to snow three feet in 24hrs in April in Calgary.  Teams will need to be prepared to attack the courses and defend against Mother Nature’s offensives. Preparation and strategy will play a part in the outcome of The Tournament.
