This is a tragedy, as I often find that my a large portion of how enjoyable any ride I go on longboarding is dependent on the bearings, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~489600880260 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:27:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_489600880260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_477132197508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - Man, Modest Mouse used to be a great band. Unfortunately, for us music listeners of the world, this is the point on the MM timeline where they go from being one of the true greats of their time to simply good/average. Much changed for MM in the time... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~477132197508 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:02:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_477132197508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_482185416324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - Sometimes you can find some real gems when you look off the beaten path for new music artists. Holopaw is a band that I would definitely classify as well off that beaten path. I mean, they're a predominately a alt-country/folk band from Florida. And... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~482185416324 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 17:25:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_482185416324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_479650811524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - Wilson makes some of the finest golf equipment for the most reasonable prices in an inflated market, and yet, their equipment is still very much underrated. Their return of the Staff line in 2004-05 really marked the return of Wilson equipment that will... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~479650811524 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 02:23:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_479650811524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_480448843396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - This was a rare Modest Mouse release that should have been hard to get excited about, following their worst (IMHO) studio album in We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. This EP was simply the process of collecting the loose ends and scraps from the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~480448843396 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:01:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_480448843396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_474330730116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - Not too long ago, I had the pleasure of seeing a band by the name of Ice Palace live. They put on a good performance, and that inspired me to get their only (as of now) full length album, Wonder Subtly Crushing Us. It took longer than I would have... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474330730116 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:56:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474330730116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_477939928708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - Streetlight Manifesto is hands down the finest ska/punk band still making music today (IMHO of course). Their debut record, Everything Goes Numb, was excellent in almost every way possible. Even when you look at the roots of the band, most notably... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~477939928708 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 02:32:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_477939928708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_477531901572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - The Strokes faced a thunderstorm complete with hail and heavy rails of hype preceding their debut album, Is This It. Hailed by some in the media as the saviors of rock'n'roll and given ridiculous titles such as the best band since the Rolling... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~477531901572 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 15:45:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_477531901572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_477078130308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - Putting is a never ending struggle for me and many other golfers who step onto the links all over the country. Many experienced golfers will say that putting comes down to mostly confidence and a little technique. Until I picked up an Odyssey TriHot... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~477078130308 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 14:32:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_477078130308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_476638842500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - Most would expect that the members of the best ska/raggae bands would form and have their beginnings in Kingston. The one thing that would be unexpected after listening to Bedouin Soundclash for the first time is they began in Kingston......Ontario,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~476638842500 Tue, 7 Jul 2009 23:18:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_476638842500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_473861426820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - After two excellent rock/pop albums from Pacific Northwest band Built to Spill gained the band a following and a major label record deal, the band decided to shift gears for their 1997 third record, Perfect From Now On.

It seemed a little different from the ordinary, and I found out it is commonly referred to as "drone-pop". While perhaps not the most flattering of descriptions, the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~467743051396 Thu, 28 May 2009 12:14:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_467743051396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_467413470852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - There is almost always an outlier in the way you look at certain types and styles of music. I've always had a hard time getting into the majority of recent ska bands, despite the obvious amounts of talent it takes to get 6+ instruments to sound good... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~467413470852 Sun, 24 May 2009 16:05:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_467413470852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470203403908?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - The grips on your golf clubs are something that is often overlooked by a large percentage of golfers. It seems like most of the clubs that I've re-gripped have grips on them that are really worn and are finally becoming a source of discomfort for the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~470203403908 Wed, 20 May 2009 02:39:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_470203403908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_466454810244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - The Arctic Monkeys are one of the better young bands to come out of England in recent times. In addition to their two full length releases, a few singles and EP's have also been recorded by the boys from Sheffield.

It seems like no matter how the last years installment fared, I always find myself buying the newest version of the game almost as soon as it comes out.

When watching one of the few interviews with Isaac or one of their live performances, it's not hard to see that he has a bit of a spark of insanity to him.

Not only does this prevent you from catching stray snow sprays in the eyes, but your eyes stay protected from the harmful UV rays that are often present at the high... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~464610954884 Thu, 2 Apr 2009 22:37:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_464610954884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_464267153028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rancid1993 - Ever since I suffered a concussion two years ago while snowboarding, it's seemed like a pretty obvious decision to wear a helmet while out on the slopes. However, since that day, I've been trying to find the right helmet/protective headwear.

As much of a reckless blanket statement that is, the only band that I could find enjoyment in that fit into that genre was Operation Ivy, and they won't be producing new music anytime soon.

Snowboarding is a very fun sport, but it sometimes includes some not so fun times, such as sitting or being on your knees in the snow.
