To scare off a bear, I would try to get really tall and look strong and stuff. I would back away slowly and thrown fire at it. Then, I would run away really fast screaming and throwing fire...I might burn down the forest...but at least I would be safe :)

How would I escape? I would start shreding the knarliest of pow. my shrdetastic skills would indefinatly start an avalanche. I would ride through the avalanche using my Snow air bag and laugh as the bear was trampled by the onslaught of ice and snow!!

I would scare a bear many ways. One way I would scare one is to show it a picture of chuck norris. Everybody is scared of him. I'll get to the real part now. I would scare one by screaming on a mountain. This would cause an avalanche and the bear would run away. That is how I would scare a bear.

I would swear to the scare of seeing a bear. Out of nowhere and no prepare.. There i would stare in bare despair and prepare to tear my hair.. I forget i'm standing on a bear and totally unaware that this is a feeling we share, Me and the Bear.

There are only two things you need in any dangerous situation. Duct tape and Chuck Norris. I mean this is an easy one guys. You don't have much time, this is a bear and you were just arguing with Chuck Norris about the perefect marshmellow temperature for your smores (obviously brown and sliding off the stick is the only way, it takes patience Chuck Norris, patience). So jump up find two solid sticks. Tape them together. BOOM! Nunchucks, now you have a chance. Pass those bad boys over to Chuck Norris. Watch them do battle for a few minutes before a quick dash for your board and the quickest path down the mountain. Seriously man, its a bear and if Chuck Norris can't take something out you don't want to wait around as desert.

How you handle a bear attack depends on the type of bear you encounter. So the first step in surviving a bear attack is to know what kind you’re up against. Grizzlies will stop attacking when they feel there’s no longer a threat so Play dead. If they think you’re dead, they won’t think you’re threatening. Black bears often bluff when attacking. If you show them you mean business, they may just lose interest. Don’t climb a tree. Black bears are excellent climbers. Climbing up a tree won’t help you out here. If the black bear actually attacks, fight back. Use anything and everything as a weapon- rocks, sticks, fists, and your teeth. Aim your blows on the bears face- particularly the eyes and snout. When a black bear sees that their victim is willing to fight to the death, they’ll usually just give up. Disclaimer The Art of Manliness does not encourage people to go out and find a bear to practice these skills with. Practicing on your significant other will not do either.

How would I fend off a bear? If in doubt I always think "What would Bear Grylls do?" Although he could fend off a real bear with his bare hands that's not the best idea for a little snowbunny like myself to do. Knowing how Bear Grylls looks can tame me, I would lift up my snowboard and lull him with the bear motif and tame him lady-bear style!

Hey, Boo Boo! He’s smarter than the average bear so give him the pin-a-nic basket and back away slowly!

Since the Rossignol Retox Amptek board is decorated with the image of a French Brown Bear, it would be a treat to use the new board in the French Pyrennes. The Brown Bear that lives in the French Pyrennes is now on the decline, so I would try real hard to be understanding. Also, the Brown Bear is mostly vegetarian and is likely hibranating during most of the snowboarding season. However,if I did run into one, I would first blow my bear whistle really loud to scare it off, throw it my bag of trail mix, then take off on my amazingly fast Rossignol Retox Ampek board. I suggest Rossignol donate some part of the sales of the board to the group that is trying to save the Frech Brown Bear. If I win, I will make a donation.

Look at the bear, now back to me, now back to the bear, now back to me. Sadly he's not going to catch me, but if he stopped using little boy boards and switched to a Rossignol maybe he could catch me. Look down, now up. Where are you? You're on top of a mountain with the board that bear could have caught you on. Whats in your hand? Back at me, I have it. It's the board you just won for making the best comment yet. I'm on a boat.

So it happens to be that i'm called bear (for my looks). And bears often fight for food or female. And oh boy do i have a georgeos female by my side skiing at that moment when i encounter the bear. Oh he likes her, he really does. So the showdown begins. We groul at each other, we stand up to show how big we are! Oh, thats bad i'm smaller. What to do, what to do? A wild idea jumps in to my head. I run to the nearest tree and peel of a huge chunk of wood and toss it by the rival bears foot. First he looks lost, but then he gets my idea. He stands up on the wood. Growls at me. Challenge exepted. I jump on my snowboard and we start rushing down the hill. We go offcourse. Theres alot of trees. I manage to dodge some. My rival bear is un lucky and hits one. I smile whidly because i think i win the race, but after few moments, the rival bear jumps over me and now hes on the leed!!! I can see my girl down the hill, I Can't Lose!!!! Adrenalin flushes my veins, i dodge some more trees, jump over a frozen river, duck under a fallen log, and and ... I lost.. The bear beated me. Oh the shame... But then, few rangers rushes in and shots some sleeping darts to the bear. I'm saved!!! Close call, huh guys?

If I encountered a bear it would probably be because I was snowboarding with my new Rossignol Retox Amptek board in its natural habitat. If he charged at me I would quickly unstrap my bindings and show the bear the exact swagged out bear replica of him. He would be so impressed by the graphic of this board that he would then want to start riding it. I would let him ride it but only for one run even though he said he's never snowboarded before. With this imformation the reason why i let him ride the board was because I had faith in the true twin, wood 6420 core that it has. Also it is a intermediate to expert board so im sure this board is able to stomp a bunch of cab double cork 12's over a 80 footer or even just a switch 270 to 270 out of a flat bar. Anyways the bear would go on to stomp some mellow 3s, 5s and then skip up to a triple. the skill the board brings Ill let him keep that board and buy myself about 6 more because i like the board so much. all in all, the bear and I became friends, funny how a snowboard can make a bear go from wanting to eat me, to wanting to shred everyday.....but now the bear is professional and traveling to different countries and wont bring me. He didnt even thank me for the board that got him stomping tricks. :(

As this happened while night riding I just pulled out flashlight shining it at the bear to confuse it like a deer in headlights. Next thing I know the bears saying "cmon man im trying to piss here" then I realize its just some weekend warrior in a frickin bear suit thats had a bit too much to drink. And I think I just pissed him off. Time to dip off into the woods.

If I ran into a bear, I'd probably be in the woods with my boss, so I'd kick him in the shins then run so the bear would catch him first!

first i would get in the fetal postion and wait to see what it would do. then if it tried having its way with me, i would throw that damn bear toielt paper at it and yell at it for never calling or helping to pay for child support. its also my birthday friday the 17th and a snowboard would be a lovely gift

I would escape a bear encounter by jumping on my snowboard and shooting down the hill, I would assume I'd only find a bear on the mountian I was shredding on!

February 15

Basicly I would: - Shit myself in the pants!!!!!!!!! - If he engages kick him in the nuts or slap him in the face with my snowboard. - If that won't work I'd take a grab in my pants and fling my poo in his eyes - If that won't work I'd cry and hope the bear is not interested in poo smeared meat!

I'd try to psychokinetically stop the heart of the bear. If it doesn't work, I'll play possum.

By: Matt Vierling

February 14

If I were to encounter a bear I would treat like an average person that I come into contact with. Most likely I would be tearing up on the slopes so in that case I would offer the bear to join me in my adventures. I would then assist him with getting fitted with my for his snowboard gear and teach him the basics of learning to snowboard. As I did I believe he would catch on quickly and we would be having the time of our life. After a long day of riding we may have a few drinks at the bar inside the lodge and talk about the day and what we could do next time. So overall that is how I would treat a bear if I were to encounter it.

What??? If I encountered a bear it would be my homie I wouldn't even try to escape. It'll be like the bear off Dr.Dolittle. Me and the Bear would chill all the time. We'd smoke all day and just laugh at simple stuff. Smokey the Bear wouldn't have nothing on us cause all we would do is burn. Okay just playing on the last part but the bear would be down with my crew. We would just board all day. The bear's swag would be off the charts. I'll name it Beary the Bear Bear. While I'm shredding on my brand new Rossignol Retox Amptek board. Beary would be boarding on a custom made Tree Bark board SWAG. Where they do that at??? Board on tree bark. It'll be the first bear to land a Frontside Double Cork 1260. Now if Beary got out of hand I'll have to go Goku primal mode on it. I'll grab some Jack Link's Beef Jerky out of my utility belt and feed my wild side. It wouldn't be like the movie Semi-Pro. It woulbe no more Beary...

i would use my use my recently acquired bear skills considering during the summer i had 4 different close encounters with black bears. in order to fend it off i would stare it in the eyes telling it i mean no harm and i would stay still. if that didnt work throw a distracting object at i and run/bike like hell

By: Leo G

February 14

When the bear comes i would chop him/ her into 7 peices(with the sledge hammer that i always have). Then i would peel the skin offthe body of it with my teeth just in case i ever get cold(it could also be a good house decoration). When i am finished doing that i would get all the meat off of him/her, put some salt on it, and feed it to my awesome dog.Then i would hide all remaining corps and guess what, you have escaped the all mighty bear.

Poop my pants, and rely on the terrible stench to scare away the bear. Bears do have a great sense of smell.

By: Joe Sedon

February 14

If I did not have the Rossignol Retox, I would be hopeless against an attacking bear. With the Retox, however, I would hide behind the board and the wild bear would be instantly scared off by the ferocious, bloodied bear on my deck's topsheet. So basically, the Retox would not only help me shred, but it would also save my life.

By: Leo

February 14

most likely a bear would come while your camping right? Well not this bear that chill bear on that sick board. There is no need to escape this bear he is the coolist. If i needed him to leave just tell him to leave and we'll go snowboarding another day.Then hes out thats mahh boyyy

I would be that one guy in the lift line that ALWAYS slaps his board and looks like an idiot, hoping it would be loud enough to scare it away.

February 14

I would befriend the bear. One of life's great lessons, taught through the medium of BBC comedy, is that bears love badminton. I would set up our net accompanied by my racket and cock and throw down with the big furry lump, we would then eat porridge... But not to thick and not to runny (a.k.a just right)

By: Mason Bradford

February 14

Obviously the best way to get away from a bear would be to occupy him with an issue of snowboarder magazine and quickly make a run for it down the mountain. I mean once you pick an issue up its gonna be a while before you put it back down.. perfect get away plan!

If i encountered a bear I would run up the nearest hill and climb a tree. While in the tree i would break off the biggest branch I could find. I would then fashion the branch into a spear of sorts. Then I would jump from the tree with the spear and impale the bear in the lower to mid region of the back. Problem Solved.

As a respectable member of modern society, I would first attempt to the reason with said bear. A little known fact about bears, given the right circumstance, bears are quite fond of smooth jazz and red wine. I would then realize that I have neither of these things and resort to plan b: beat the fuck out of that bear with my bare hands and ride it like Abraham Lincoln. After overpowering and domesticating the bear, I would feel it appropriate to name him something sweet like Skullcrusher or Bitchbeater. I would then ride Bitchbeater into the sunset, forever free of all worry and anxiety, for I am that man: The Man Who Rides Bitchbeater the Bear.

First let me say, I don't see bears in the forest. They see me. After the inital shock of the sighting, they go find their bear friends to prove to them my exsistance. An argument breaks out between them when deciding who is going to approach me. They have so many questions, but everything just comes out as,"Growwwwwwwl." But the bears know........I speak bear. After they're done explaining what huge fans they are, they all want to know the same thing. How did you become such a great snowboarder? To which I respond,"Growwwwl growlll grooowl growl g-growl." Some may ask why I would share such a profound secret with bears? To which I respond,"So they wouldn't eat me stupid! They're bears!"

By: Jasper Volmer

February 13

I would sing the song bearforce1(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twQlpFrm5iM) with the corresponding dance. This can lead to one of these two reactions: Reaction A: the bear is a straight bear and runs away as fast as he can, which is the only right reaction to this song... Reaction B: the bear is a gay bear, which brings you into even greater trouble because singing this song would make you a suitable mating partner.... But hey what was that saying again?! "If we want authenticity, we'll have to initiate it "

FENDING OFF A BEAR 101: Senario: Actions 1. Steals yo food Stop bear mid action with "Holllld Up Yogi, Nah uh, put it back!" 2. Refuses to return food Say with serious mom voice "Bear! Don't make me call Foghorn Leghorn!" 3. Proceeds to eat food Maintain serious mom voice "That's it Yogi Berra i'm stealing yo babies!" 4. Bear approaches while "Do you mind handing me that leaf?" doing #2 in forest 5. You walk in on bear "Oh! sorry, excuse me. Here's a leaf" doing #2 in forest 6. Catch bear hunting "mm,mm,mm. (shake head) Does your mother know about this?" salmon with gun 7.

DRINK A CAN OF POWERTHIRST AND BEAR-BLAST HIM!!!

By: Chris G

February 12

The first rule of escaping a bear is situational awareness. For example, if I ran into the bear featured on the Rossi Retox Amptech board, I would know he is a French male brown bear (ursus actos) from the Pyrenees looking for some female bear action. The t-shirt with the French cock on it is a dead give away of his nationality, the cock is to the French what the bald eagle is to Americans. There are only about 20 French Brown bears left in the wild and they all live in the Pyrenees. I assume that he got the blond tiger high highlights in order to impress the ladies. France's first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is a big fan of the brown bears, as a former model she may have suggested the highlights to improve his mating chances. Whatever you do don't speak Slovenian, a couple years ago wildlife officials imported some Slovenian female brown bears to help the French bears get some action, so now the bears think of Slovenian as the language of love, crazy huh! To keep the bear calm you may want to offer him some liqueur like Chartreuse, its sweet, strong, and made from flowers and herbs that bears like to eat. I would be generous with the Chartreuse because while the monks that sell the stuff say its an elixir of long life, it taste foul to me. Remember because male brown bears can weight around 700 lbs., you will want him to be drinking a lot more than you, just be glad you didn't run into the Spanish brown bear because they can really drink. At this point slowly back away from the bear, wish him “bonne chance” with the ladies and get the hell out of there.

February 12

Well in some ways, I can sympathize with a rage-filled angry bear. So, in order to escape a bear attack I would appeal to his softer, gentler side. First I would encourage him to consider the negative effects his anger is having on his bear life, and help him to break his denial. I would explain to him how his rage is standing in the way of his potential, and remind him what kind of an example he is setting for his cubs. I would encourage him to look at his claws and ask him, "Is this who you really want to be tomorrow?". Right then I would flip up my Rossignol Retox Amptek board, and show him the bear in the mirror. How his red rooster shirt symbolizes his aggression toward others, and his stripes represent his internal conflict. Finally I would help him see, like his forefathers Yogi and Smokey, how he can make a positive difference in his life and the lives of other bears. All he has to do is make the choice to break free from his rage and blood-lust, and he can begin a new journey of freedom. Then I would go for the hug, and tell him I believe in him. ...at that point he might still kill me... ...but at least I tried.

February 12

I would escape my bear encounter by playing him/her "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston via my MP3 player. That alone would kill virtually any bear alive, thereby allowing me to escape to listen to the Deftones.

Here in Michigan bear encounters are as rare as good riding. This being said I would distract the bear with my 12oz bear shaped honey, while the bear is enjoying its treat me and christopher robbins would strap works bombs to him. Bear Blasting...similar to (Hump Cating)

It has always been a dream of mine to fend off a bear with a bone knife, maybe ill die maybe i wont but someday im going to kill a bear with a bone knife!

By: Tommy Pollett

February 11

I would look at him intently then with a rush of realization say.."Dude! i thought i recognized you! You're that kick-ass bear thats on the front of my new Rossignol Snowboard!" And he would blush and say.."Oh man i remember that shoot! they put me in heaps of Tees and made me pose all afternoon! I'm glad they chose the Red tee! It was the best pic by far!" To which i would reply "I agree bro, you keen for a shred?" Then we newly acquainted pals would head off in the fresh pow shredding it up!

By: Calvin Tam

February 11

I would probs yell at him and tell him to go away, if he didn't. I'd just yell at him some more.

By: Jared

February 11

First off, I would try to reason with the bear; after all, bear is my native tongue. If that were to not work, I would feed him little pieces of cheese. Why would I feed him little pieces of cheese you ask? Who doesn't love cheese!?!? That's why! Surely I would win him over and we would be the best of pals. Unless the cheese made him more hungry, in which case I would give him my beaten up 2009 skate banana as collateral for not eating me... after all, I don't need it anymore, I'm gonna win a Rossignol Retox Amptek in a snowboarder mag give away.

By: Jason

February 11

I don't always escape bears (I prefer to stay and fight) but when I do I use Travis Rices' gear that I carry in my K2 Sentinel Backpack, which mind you I only bought thanks to Snowboarder Mags Golden Seal of Approval. Obviously the bear would notice who's beautiful Lib Tech board and sexy Quicksilver pants I had and we'd make an even trade, he gets the gear and I continue the shred because as we all know, it remains.

By: Matthew Strang

February 11

If the bear is a black bear I would grab my Rossignol Retox Amptek snowboard and jib up an entire tree, and stay up there. But because bears can climb trees i would situate myself on a brach and dive off the tree into 7 feet of powder and snowboard under the top layer of snow that melted and then refroze to create a nice roof over me. I would then snowboard out of there under the icy snow. But because bears are so damn heavy he would break the icy snow and catch up to me. I would then ollie to the surface of the snow and go full speed, without me knowing there is a 170 foot cliff. I would then jump off the cliff rolling down the windows and screaming, I would then think well im going to die so ill go out in stile, I would then do some crazy flips off the cliff and land in 20 feet of snow because there was an avalanche the day before. So I'm alive and well with my Rossignol Retox Amptek snowboard, oh and the bear is at the top of the cliff because bears can't fly. Now, if the bear was a Grizzly, well i would just be F***ED. So yeah.

By: matt

February 11

i would feed him some mushrooms so he can jump out of the board and ride it himself with me everywhere terrorizing the GAPERS.

By: David Lafrance

February 11

As soon as it approached me, I'd look at it straight into its eyes and soul. From that point on, I'd make it look with my superpowers at atrocities no man (or bear) has ever witnessed. 10 seconds into this painful event, the bear wouldn't be able to take it anymore and would gouge out its own eyes, thus making its own murderous claws bloodier than ever. From that moment on, I would become the mother of the orphan cubs and show them how to ride the snowboard like pros.

I would first crawl up in the fetal position and then as it creeps up on me I would do a jumping roundhouse kick to it's face and then repeatedly start kicking it in the face and stomach. Once I see blood I would end it off with the people's elbow in it's teeth.

First, I give him a present so he thinks I'm nice , then we be friends and we go to Disneyland but Disney were closed so we go to Bear mountain , we shred all day and in the we see bear's mother and then the bear be happy and never want to hurt human again.

By: Amir S.

February 11

Well, obviously the bear found out that someone stole his pants (what other reasons are there for a bear to go running around half-naked like this one?!), so unfortunately I would have to give him mine - better than having this giant bear jump at you... As for the red stuff dripping from his hand - that's obviously remains from the jello he had for breakfast. And as for me - now I have to get myself some new pants! :P

You throw a flashbang into his cave so he runs out. Now he's stunned and unaware. Jump off the top rope, Barrett .50 Cal, Double Cork no scope, head shot. Then you drink his blood, giving you the strength of a bear. Then you go back to Iowa and kill it on the small amounts of snow there.

If I encountered a bear in the wild I would show my teeth and snarl. If that didn't scare him, I'd approach him and box him on the ears to try and trigger his flight instinct. I'm not a wildlife ranger, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

First, I would call up my buddies Bruce Lee and The Undertaker. Then I'll get out my Jack Hawk 9000 that I bought at Wal-Mart. Bruce Lee will do some karate on that bear and make him all groggy. When this happens the Undertakers gonna use his choke slam on this bitch and pin him. Then I'll use my Jack Hawk 9000 and slit the bears throat, chop him up and make some bear burgers for a job well done.

By: Jamey

I know just what to do. When we was kids and there weren't no powder on the mountain Pap used to think it were fun to play this game called "poke the bear" and we kids would beg him, "No Pap, please Pap...don't poke the bear!" but it weren't no use and before long Pap would have that bear madder than a rattlesnake with balls, then Pap would sit up on the porch and laugh as we ran around pissing ourselves trying to get away, except for my lil brother Cephus, he'd play dead and it would mostly work except that he ain't got but one leg now and he can't pee standing up so folks think he's a skier but me, I figured something out about them bears, see bears, they got needs, they're just like women except they can't talk and they menstruate year round (and that's a pretty fair trade off). See what a bear needs is to feel like it's being listened to, ain't no need to solve no problems, a bear don't need you to rescue its ass, hell no, it's a bear ain't it. So I'd would just sit there and listen to that bear and nod along all supportive-like and pretty soon that bear's going to be feeling a heap better and before you know it that bear will be thanking me for listening and telling me to go off and snowboard because it knows that's what I really want to do anyway and after pretending to put up a fight I'll grab that new Rossignol and hit the slopes and with any luck there'll be a steaming, hot deer carcass waiting on me when I get home.

Being that I was in a place where bears are, I would definitely have some Mary Jane, and the Governor (by Smith and Wesson) with me. Standing in front of a bear that is sizing me up, like they always do before they attack, I would try to make the best of it by sparking a spliff and blasting away. I am not a hunter and would have only killed the bear to survive, but I would not waste any part of the bear. I would carve it up and end up with an authentic bear snowboarding suit, a bear claw necklace, bear steaks and jerky, bear bone tools and fertilizer for my mom's garden. Then I would have to go out and get some king of a bear tattoo, not sure what yet, but that would have to happen, perhaps some sort of R.I.P. Smokey.

By: Kyle A

Well i would probably be high as fuck and have some weed so i would make a peace offering with the bear and get him/her high as fuck as well. Then he would turn into a hippie bear and we can go trip some acid together.

Aight, so if we're talking about a bear, there is only one way to escape it. Either your going to scrap it out, or you are going to run for your life. Personally i would have to see how big the bear is, and what weapons i have. If it is big im dippin' the hell out.

I would just send a telepathic message to the bear reversing his instinct to attack me to an instinct to be friend me. Then I would hop on his back and I would ride him around like a horse. We would then proceed to have a legendary friendship, if we became good enough friends I would teach how to snowboard.

By: brandon sweeney

if i had to fight off a bear i would try to trick him 1st by throwing some honey candies that i always have towards the bear. hopefully he would take the bait and id be safe but candy less. so yeah thanks.

Hey man a snowboard can make a great weapon, and if my run in with the bear doesnt come equip with a snowboard i'll kick it in the nutz and run!

If i was on a snowboard i'd jib its head, just a little boink right on the head to knock it out. If i was snowboardless i would throw my voice and make a wookie sound like it was coming from a bush behind the bear. Then while the bears preoccupied looking for chewbacca i'd run like hell.

By: Brandon Gray

i would strap a bear banger on the front toes of my boots then when i chuck double corks grabbing mute i could reach down and bang the horn. if that bear dont leave, good thing i just got my edges sharpened because this board is spinning around right for the bears noggin. watch out yogi!

I am guessing it's a polar bear. I usually carry a coke with me to give my old ass an extra kick on the mountain. (Gotta be careful opening it though) Since they apparently love Coke, based on the commercials, I'd just throw throw it one and hopefully be on my way. If not, and I had this board, I would just hold it up in front of me so it would think I was another bear and hopefully the "liquid" running down my leg would be enough to mark my territory and make it go away.

To fight a bear, follow these easy steps! 1. Lower its morale: This can easily be done by kicking rosebushes at it, bears hate prickly objects, plus the fact that you look like some kind of tripped-up witch doctor doing it is surely going to make him question his decisions! 2. Make it regret its decision to attack: if you don't have Jeff Magnum handy to help you out with this, no problem! Just sing as loudly as you can at it " IIII LOOOOVEEEE YOOUUUUU JEEESSSUUUSSS CHRRRIIIIST" or an even choicier line " SEMEN STAINED THE MOUNTAINTOPS". This serves two purposes, firstly, it makes Jeff Magnum proud of you ( always good) and secondly, the bear will never question quite how virile you are ever again!

I can talk bear cause I'm just that much of a beast. So I'd say "Woah Bear, how about we go grab lunch some place like a good poutine at a ski rsort, then we head off to the hills and snowboard !?" Obviously, he would accept and we would go off riding ! I would ride the Retox Amptek and he could borrow my old and super wide Burton since bears probably have big feet. We would become great friends and no harm would be cause to me or him ! We would finnish the day off with a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon beer in front of a campfire in a wooden loge, reading the latest SNOWBOARDER.

I would strap on my new rossignol snowboard and make my way through the the most glorious tree run of my life because this could be my last run ever so I would have to.make it count. If the bear caught up to me I would turn on my ninja skills and turn that bear into a chipmunk with one giant kick to the face!! Than I would tame the bear and make it my personal back country explorer. While everyone aroubd me has snowmobiles ill well have a glorious bear that well love me uncoditionally through all times!!

Obviously I'd be DEEP in the Utah backcountry a bear comes up and fronts me I'd do what any one would do and that's get on my high stance but my arms up and act like the bear, I mean what grizzly would hurt it's own kin, let alone a cute one like myself. After this I would lure the bear to bed( not in a sexual way) in mid sleep I'd have to betray the bear and leave the Deep backcountry of Utah, which of course would break that bears heart.

By: Nick Murphy

February 10

Bro Id deffenitly garb his ear and say nice nice nice till he calmed down then I would teach him to shred and become friends with the bear and he would always let me ride him and he would tow me into big jibs and he would be the best bear shreder in the world!!!!!!!

This summer I learned a game from Boogie called: Bear, Cowboy, Ninja. at High Cascade Snowboard Camp on Mt. Hood. Rules are: 1. stand back to back. 2. the cowboy shoots the bear, the bear is stronger then a ninja and the ninja assassinates the cowboy. 3. jump around to each other and show: pistols, claws or kung fu snake style. So I'll show that bear my pistols and the board is mine ;)

It's going to depend on the kind of bear. There's different strategies for black bears and grizzlies. If it's a grizzly, I better have a gun or play real dead. That thing is gonna chase me and catch me. And yeah it can climb trees. If I escape it's probably because a grizzly had a heart attack or I was wearing a 'bear proof outfit' like the one Troy Hurtubise used. At the zoo, a man once said that you should take out your knife and unzip a bear like a jacket. This man was an idiot and in no way worked for a zoo. Don't get it confused. Unfortunately because bears aren't humans, I can't just reason with one. I can usually weasel my way out of getting beat up, but in this case, I don't bank on that being a good approach. So, I have a couple options. One is to run in an indirect manner hoping to fool the bear a bit. Also, I need to somehow scare the bear. Is there anything scarier than the music of Celine Dion. For my money there isn't, so I better remember some of those lyrics and try to work the bear into some sort of trance like state with my vocal range. If that doesn't work, I'm gonna hiss and growl. That's sort of how every escape ever ends for me.

By: Andrew Fredrickson

February 10

upon finding an angry bear, i would allow the bear to bite, and hold onto, my left arm for the sole purpose of getting close to the bear. with my left arm stuck down the bears throat, i would proceed to bite the bear in the jugular spilling all of its blood all over the place. the bear would let go of my left arm, leaving it completely useless. with my remaining good arm, i would find a branch and proceed to beat whatever living shit is left in the bear, out.

True story - I was 16 years old, living in Haines, Alaska with my family. We literally lived at the "end of the road" along the ocean. We would hunt black and brown (grizzly) bear at the edge of our property where the mountain came down to the sea. One summer night we were spotlight hunting and a large griz was in the trees across the small cove from the cabin. We took a shot, hit it, and watched it run into the deep brush. Deciding against suicide (chasing a wounded brown bear in the dark), we waiting until morning to go after it. In the AM dad and I jumped in the canoe, let the dogs loose on the beach and followed them from the water as they tracked the bear. We could hear them moving through the brush and motored along slowly as they worked the side of the mountain. Suddenly all hell broke lose and dad told me to beach the canoe on the rocks in front of us. He jumped out with a 12 gauge shotgun and told me to stay put, and told me to get the hell out of dodge if the bear made an appearance on the beach. The dogs had found the wounded bear, and being the cowards they were, ran away - right down the mountain to us! The dogs cleared the heavy brush in front of us yipping and howling, made the beach and split, running their asses off. The bear was right behind them. Dad yelled for me to get clear, shouldered the shotgun and starting dumping 00 buck and slugs into the bear as it came out of the alders 25 yards away. His last shell dumped the grizzly onto it's face less than 15 feet away. Dad put down the shotgun, un-holstered his .44, walked up to the bear and put one in it's ear. Cool as a cat outside in December. I sat in the canoe, wide-eyed and frozen, trying to remember how to breath. This was the first of quite a few memorable bear encounters while growing up hunting moose, caribou and deer in Alaska (while snowboarding every season!). How would I escape? Make sure dad's icy veins and arsenal are close by, and leave the damn dogs in the truck.

I've always fancied myself a wildlife Dr. Doolittle with a Mike Hawk/Bear Grylls edge. It was never a question of "if" but "when" I encounter a bear. I would sing at the top of my lungs Bowie's "Pressure". It would epitomize my current state and let the bear know- I'm about to blow your mind with my musical capabilities. If that fails, ride hard down the hill as fast as my board can fly.

First let me say, I don't see bears in the forest. They see me. After the inital shock of the sighting, they go find their bear friends to prove to them my exsistance. An argument breaks out between them when deciding who is going to approach me. They have so many questions, but everything just comes out as,"Growwwwwwwl." But the bears know........I speak bear. After they're done explaining what huge fans they are, they all want to know the same thing. How did you become such a great snowboarder? To which I respond,"Growwwwl growlll grooowl growl g-growl." Some may ask why I would share such a profound secret with bears? To which I respond,"So they wouldn't eat me stupid! They're bears!"

First I would avoid eye contact to show the bear respect. Then I would prepare a salmon sandwich for the bear with a bear claw donuts for desert. Once his appetite was satisfied I would offer him a nail filer as a parting gift so the bear could stay fresh with his claw game. Finally I would walk away slowly in a backwards fashion. You should never turn your back on a bear.

If I was unlucky to encounter a bear?? You best declare that bear the one unlucky, since he must deal with me, to be fair. Upper cut to the jaw, that's the first thing his lady-bear saw. Jib-jabbing at the tummy, til he was bleeding gummy. Licking the goodness from my fist, I'd look him in the eye and blow him a kiss. Cuz next comes the roundhouse kick to the face, make him look like Fozzie full of grace. You might say my approach is pretty brutal: "It's a grizzly, resistance is futile!" Hush down little one, in this here battle I will not run. For it's Free Goods Friday, and this beast stands in the way, of me snagging that sweet board today.

The bear looks like hes a member of the bloods. Gangster bears dont play! The listen to gangster rap and act all hard. I would sweat that bear and be like what! I would then run and find some crips, and tell them about this blood bear that thinks hes all hard, and hes trying to eat me. Hopefully they would ride on his ass and pop that bear and show him what time it is. Then just to show repect I would pour out alittle liq.

By: Adam Barnes

February 10

I would give it a pic-a-nic basket. It would open it (because he's smarter than the average bear) to discover that there's actually no food in it: do you honest think I have the kind of money to be feeding a bear!? He'd laugh about it though, and then he'd let me put a saddle on him and ride him around the forest. I'd name him Clive. I'd feed him grilled cheese sandwiches. My mother wouldn't approve though, she'd say he's a bad influence. But what does she know? I love Clive.

I would probably let him share my picnic basket full of honey and pass my water bong as long he didnt start any forest fires. I would make sure he cares about the bare necessities.
