City vs Mountain – Danny’s character development

Two of Danny’s pastimes are windsurfing in the local bay and street drums:

However, he still feels mentally constrained because of the pollution in the city environment. This includes EMF pollution from cell towers, smart meters, and the overall air pollution. He may actually be depressed as a result. However, those two aforementioned activities help him escape the city’s claustrophobic and rigid effect on him.

He craves the mountains, which also represent spiritual growth in Indian and Tibetan traditions, and give him greater creativity, hence his development of the Heartcarve ski whilst skiing.

This is recognized in Taoist culture and art as well, ie Heaven vs Earth imagery.

Brigitte is a skateboarder and dancer (B-Girl), and Danny discovers this when he visits China (or whatever is her birth country.) This ends up bringing them closer together. Also, the two of them become mini-celebrities by the end of the story due to footage of the Big Race, similar to Adrian Boron and the footage of Twurp’s Burps.

Additional Heartslayer Vids (and photos) 1.1

The problem with the Heartslayer skis on hard groomers is that they shudder. This is evident in the video below, about 20 seconds in. The rear end of the outside ski (and my leg) shudder on every turn due to the tail not being wide enough.

In pow and soft snow there is no shudder because the edge isn’t digging into the snow as strongly and there is a smooth ride.

The MeatHammer ski corrects this by having a really wide tail.

Below is a vid I entered into the TGR Colab 2013 competition. The powder segment begins at 3:20.

OK1 / OK2 / OK 3 – alternative locations for Michael and Seth or Rivka and Sarah.

Throwback: Jerusalem, March 2006, Mea She’arim, Purim Festival

This religious suburb of Jerusalem can be used as a location for either of the two conversation scenes linked above. For Purim, Michael and Seth could be drunk (as part of the tradition.) Alternatively, Rivka and Sarah can be doing their walk on Purim in Tsfat. This will add atmosphere to the scene and they can also be drunk.

Joe Budden – Pump It Up

When I arrived in New York, I heard this blasting out of a car. It was before the release date, so must have been someone connected to Joe Budden or Just Blaze.
