[DMC]

Check out the "Mr Excelent" patches on the knees for bump contests...

[Frankontour]

Nice pic DMC.
Honestly I don't know the name.
I suck for the figures.

I'm sad to not have ski pics of me until 2001-02. And since 2001-02, all I have from me are extreme ski pics anyway. I can even not put a pic of me skiing on a more decent terrain, cause I simply don't have pics of that.

I have a few ones of 1989-90, at my 3rd year of skiing, but it's not really representative......

[Skilasnow]

Nice air! Always better when you can't see how far off the ground someone is :jumpturn:

[Jolly J]

I think I have an old one of me scanned in at home with hot pink uvex goggles. I'll try to remember when I get home to go online and post it.

I like the tie-dye and the NR981s! Oh man, the chairlift rides I had then!

[DMC]

And of course what bumper wouldnt be on the clasic Rossi 7M's....
After two pairs of Rossi 4M's delaminated...

[BladeGirl]

Great pix, DMC! Who is the photogrpapher and what are his/her secrets for getting such great shots?

-BG

-BG I really don't remember... Just some friends..
But back then I used my Nikon N6000 SLR instead of digital...

[elwood]

DMC,

Is that a moustache you are rocking in that picture? It looks like you might even have some mulletude going on!!! Ahhh... the 80's! You must have been thinking about the song Hungry like the wolf by Duran Duran in that picture!!! LOL :D

[DMC]

elwood:
Is that a moustache you are rocking in that picture? HA! That was my Tom Selek look.... The hair was just jammed into a baseball hat... No mullet..

I heard mullets are on the way back...?!?!?!?

[Skilasnow]

DMC:

I heard mullets are on the way back...?!?!?!? I've seen a few around...

I only seem to have shots of me snowplowing... :mad: of course, I was guiding a blind skir at the time

[Frankontour]

Here is probably the best of mine... except the extreme pics of course ;)

Frank the giant jumps over the tree (http://cf.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankontour502/vwp?.dir=/Mes+photos&.dnm=FrankJump.jpg&.view=t)

Or may be this missed one...

Frank the giant without head who walks on the mountains with his skis (http://cf.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankontour502/vwp?.dir=/Mes+photos&.dnm=Frank+the+giant+lol.jpg&.view=t)

hahaha, what a pic

[DMC]

Dont take this the wrong way...
But...

Did you actually land those?

[pepperdawg]

Yo DMC -

The 'Tom Sellac' - was that taken on Superstar??

Looks like could have been - sun, bumps, and the tree line....

[DMC]

pepperdawg:
was that taken on Superstar?? Stuperstar circa 1990(?)

hahaha, what a pic [/QB]LOL I like that Franko... 'or may be this missed one'. Your head was missing, but I fixed it for you...

http://timefortuckerman.com/gifs/Frank-the-giant-lol.jpg

Nice jump!

[skicdave]

Or is this more correct? :eek:

http://timefortuckerman.com/gifs/Frank-the-giant-lol2.jpg

Oh joy today at work!

[Bannick]

Bah ha hahahahahahahahahaha

[Frankontour]

Gna gna gna.......
LOL Dave.

I prefer it without the added head, honestly ;) (especially I prefer without the 2nd one with an added head)

Although I must admit that it's close to the expression that the men's brain is often near the nuts.

[Frankontour]

Hep Dave, you should look to this one...

Dave or Elwood... this is the question (http://cf.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankontour502/vwp?.dir=/Mes+photos&.dnm=Dave+Joke+w+Elwood2.jpg&.view=t)

[Frankontour]

I forgot you DMC... Yes, I landed both. At the end of seasons, I'm used to pass a lot of time on the big airs of Mt Saint-Sauveur. I suck for figures, but I don't care about landing after the end of the landing, so I just go downhill to the jumps to do great distances. I love to fly over 50-60' long.

[DMC]

Frankontour:
I love to fly over 50-60' long. WOW - You'll have NO problem hucking the Center Wall at Tucks!!!

Way to go!

[Jolly J]

Franko,

I like the second pic. It looks like your looking back at the camera....from between your legs.

[skicdave]

Frankontour:
Hep Dave, you should look to this one...

Dave or Elwood... this is the question (http://cf.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankontour502/vwp?.dir=/Mes+photos&.dnm=Dave+Joke+w+Elwood2.jpg&.view=t) Ha ha!! Hey elwood is stealing my girls!

[skicdave]

Frankontour:
Gna gna gna.......
LOL Dave.

Although I must admit that it's close to the expression that the men's brain is often near the nuts. You mean (sorry couldn't resist) ...

[skicdave]

This is probably more the REAL story (don't worry... last one)...

http://timefortuckerman.com/gifs/Frank-the-giant-lol4.jpg

Sometimes ya just loose it!

[elwood]

Alright! I finally got the girls!!!

I;ve been waiting my whole life for this moment...

[Frankontour]

LOLOLOL oh boy........ I'll die of laughing if you continue like this.....

DMC : I didn't said 50-60' high, but long ;)

Jolly J : See the 1st pic (the one with the tree) you can notice that I have my head bent and it's why, from behind, it's looking like I don't have a head.

Dave : Be cautious or I do the same with your head :p

[DMC]

skicdave:
This is probably more the REAL story (don't worry... last one)...
hey could you make Franks head come of of my butt?

[Jolly J]

I meant the one that dave did with you looking back between your legs.

Remember if you can't laugh at yourself....who can you laugh at?

[Frankontour]

Yep Elwood, but don't hide me like this anymore, when I'm standing at the top of Mt Wash !!

Hey, don't hide me Elwood !! (http://cf.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankontour502/vwp?.dir=/Mes+photos&.dnm=T4T+-+Frankelwood.jpg&.view=t)

[skicdave]

Just be careful with your :frankohead: next time Franko!

[skicdave]

http://timefortuckerman.com/gifs/dmcandfranko.jpg

[skicdave]

elwood:
Alright! I finally got the girls!!!

I;ve been waiting my whole life for this moment... Lets not forget when Elwood was Tuckerbutt Naked...

http://timefortuckerman.com/gifs/nakedguy2003elwood.jpg

[Frankontour]

Jolly : don't you worry, I often laugh at myself and I really found it funny.

But I don't want to be the only one to be laughed at neither :D :p hehehe

So...... Did you ever notice the weird flowers growing somewhere on the Tuckerman Ravine trail. I saw them when I was hiking with Elwood. Also, I thought I had hallucinations looking the Boott Spur, but the pics look like I saw the reality. What can be that huge rock above Dodge's drop ?

http://cf.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankontour502/vwp?.dir=/Mes+photos&.dnm=Dave+%26+Elwood+below+Hojo%27s.jpg&.view=t

(hmm, I have a lot of time to waste... it's not going to be the same next week unfortunately :()


PS : it looks like the URL device doesn't work actually... I mean, if I try to post an URL, it just write the source code instead of creating a link

[Frankontour]

Ish.... I lost a lot of quality passing from BMP to JPG... ouch

[Jolly J]

It's posting the url. If you want to post the image click image. Then put in the url

[Frankontour]

Jolly : I can't post the images directly in the thread, cause it's blocked by T4T. Anyway, the image is part of the page, on Yahoo. I seriously wish I had a place to put some pics online....

Normally, I use the URL function, to do a title for the link I want to add, but this time, it wasn't working. that's all.


Btw, don't wait for me too much like yesterday morning. I just got a 2h30 ski movie from JSpin, so I run to the TV !!!! Back in late afternoon ;)

[skicdave]

Franko. T4T doesn't blow images at all. Click on the IMG button under 'Instant UBB Code' to insert an image.

Regarding the loss of quality when passing from BMP to JPG.... hey I think you gained on the quality with all my heads!... no... maybe thats just quantity... sorry :p

[Frankontour]

Dave, I know I can add images under the "instant UBB code", I did it often here, but when I don't have them online somewhere (98% of times on FTO), I can't upload them here directly from my PC.

And even though I put them on Yahoo (geocities/photo album), it doesn't work with the UBB code image insertion.

That's the drama of my life ;)

[skicdave]

Sure it works using an image from Yahoo... see?

... gad I'm glad I don't have Elwoods head! :eek:

[Frankontour]

Honestly, if you tried to post a pic in the thread, I don't see it...

But I will try although I already did exactly the way you described and it didn't work.

http://cf.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankontour502/vwp?.dir=/Mes+photos&.dnm=T4T+-+Dave+%26+Elwood.jpg&.view=t

As you can see, it doesn't work and it's a chance for me, as on this pic, you still have your head... but one of the girl have the head of Elwood ;) lolol

[skicdave]

Well looking at your posted code, looks like you have an incomplete URL again. I think that is your problem. Its a long URL, so make sure you click and drag your mouse across the whole URL.

Come on now Franko! :p

[Frankontour]

Dave, your pic doesn't seem to work better than mine. I mean, there is a square with a "red X" into it, but I don't see a pic where you tried to post one with a Yahoo link.

I copied the URL, so I don't think I could have done a mistake somewhere.

For now, I'm more working on a family pic...

here is what it gives until now... you really must take a look to this ! and it's just the beginning ;) Does someone have a winter pic from Hojo's without nobody in ?? should be better than a summer pic for the TMC members official photo ;)

Family pic (http://cf.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankontour502/vwp?.dir=/Mes+photos&.dnm=Family+picture...+hehe.jpg&.view=t)

I must find a way to send complete pics here ;) This was a 900/600 one... not a 400/266 or so


250... woohoo ! ;)

[Frankontour]

Damn !!! you're right, it works. I still can't send some big pics, but at least, it works !!!!

http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/3f05ec38_107df/bc/Mes+photos/Family+picture...+hehe.jpg?bc3NrR_AO2uuEsuY

[Frankontour]

Sh** it doesn't work anymore
It was working
I reboot my computer
it doesn't work anymore
***... ???

[M@]

Sh** it doesn't work anymore
It was working
I reboot my computer
it doesn't work anymore
***... ??? Frank: That's your best english yet!

[Frankontour]

LOL M@

I would need some courses of this category of words ;)

I think we have a bigger vocabulary of this kind, in french... especially the Quebekers.

""
- Sh** it doesn't work anymore
- It was working
- I reboot my computer
- it doesn't work anymore
- ***... ???""

French traduction : (don't let the kids read)

- Osti d'caliss de Tabarnack de ciboire d'esti d'marde, à marche pu la simonac de calisse de ciboire d'esti d'marde de gogosse
- ça marchait talleure
- Je r'boote mon osti d'machine
- Pis ça marche pu ciboire de sacrifice de merde de tabarnack
- C'est quoi l'osti d'calisse de connerie là, hein ???

[skicdave]

Too funny... great job on your English Franko, we love it! Maybe we should have a french version of Time for Tuckerman such as heure pour tuckerman...

The site intro would be something like this...

Bienvenue au tous guide et communauté entourants pour le ski extrême au ravin de Tuckerman, bâti Washington, New Hampshire!

I could always make the site bilingual...

Anyways I'm wondering if Yahoo does something to prevent images from being referenced on another site... could we be, I've heard people mention issues with Yahoo that sound similar to this.

Well Franko you'll just have to include a link to your photos (if that is stable even). If you have some you want to post on T4T, I can setup a member directory for you and you can upload them as I mentioned before. Its still a hands on task for me. One of these days I setup some more usuable for storage for member photos.

[TenSeven]

It's good to know that I retained something from my schooling at U of Ottawa...all those Quebec curse words...thanks Frank.

[Frankontour]

It's a pleasure, for the curse words :D

it's ok for just an english version for T4T, Dave ;) I mean, anyway, if you want to go to Tucks, you have to practice your english (especially the "Hi", "Good Morning", "Hello" etc, that we've said 1000 times last sunday) lol

I think the best traduction for "Time for Tuckerman" would be "Le temps de Tuckerman" or so. But I prefer the english name anyway !

For Yahoo, don't know exactly what's the problem. I think it may remains in our temporary internet files or so... and when we reboot the computer and come back in the thread, it have disappeared. Meanwhile, the other users have never seen the pic you thought was correctly put online.

So for now, I will continue with the links, I think. But if you do an easy to access and upload account for the users, it would be cool to put some pics in my account and after to put it in the threads without give you more work to do.
