Open Caption: Issue 6

December 8

Halldor Helgason, Superpark 14, Mammoth Mtn., Ca. Photo: Daniel Blom

An oft-used shortcut to a good caption is the repurposing of a common joke to relate to a given photo. Examples of this in snowboarding magazines would be any captions that start with “Knock, Knock…,” “There once was a rider from Nantucket…,” or “How many jibbers does it take to….” Using this sort of methodology on the following photo could lead one to, oh we don’t know, maybe channel a Helen Keller joke? Of course, this is Halldór Helgason, so that wouldn’t work. Or could it? “Helen Kelgason reading the snow conditions at Superpark.” No? Well, let’s see if you can do better. Seriously. Do it. Just scroll down and leave your caption as a comment…. and the rest is up to you. Unless you’re blind—then you’re shit outta luck.

*Contest Ends January 3rd, 2011
The winner will receive a prize package from Skullcandy.

The winning caption for last month‘s Open Caption was….

“Apparently in Russia, waterboarding is not considered torture.”- Jeremy Waldorf

Has anyone seen my stapler up here?
meggy

It was at that unfortunate moment, that the man in the flannel turned his back and missed the most impossible act known to man kind – Halldor Helgason losing all sense of gravity and being sucked by his board into the universe.
yezzir

Dude!!! that banger i stomped woulda been my part ender, if it werent for the “mellow” hand drag :(

Thomas Whittaker

Some say that Halldor’s tricks cause epileptic seizures because they’re just so damn flashy.
Joey

You’re not drunk unless you have to hold on to the earth to keep from falling off… and i thought that only applied to falling down?
JG

Did I leave the gas on?
Joey

Who said Atlas didn’t Shred? “Atlas Shrugged” was a title chosen to appease skiers.
Brian

Halldor desperately wanted to stay on earth and continue snowboarding, but some randy Aliens had other ideas for him…
downhillbill

There once was a rider from Nantucket
who jibbed best when he would tuck it.
He tried on his feet, his butt and his head,
But everyone agreed and everyone said
that when he used his hands, he really stuck it.
Diane

Can I say – GET OUT OF MY WAY OLD MAN! You are ruining my big shot at fame.
Scruff McGruff

i do 100 push ups like this every day before i ride, helps get the blood flowing.

to do a jump and land on his hands.
Now that was a real show stopper.

1 hand plant good, but 2 hand plant better!
Steven

I should of loked before I jumped!
Miguel

Halldór Helgason, attempting to raise money for blind snowboarders, attempted to read the largest braille weather report. Being the fact that he is blindfolded, and the bad directions from pouting patsy at the bottom, he missed.
Miguel

After noticing the man who was looking for his sandwich, Halldór Helgason had decidedly had enough of hand grooming the super park.
Miguel

“Seriously guys, there has got to be a better way to groom the park!”
Miguel

Imploring help from the locals, Halldór Helgason still couldn’t find his fucking sandwich.
Nick Appl

Fueled by global economic doom and gloom, rumors of a combined summer/winter Olympics inspired urgent snowboard-gymnastics training.
Steve

I wonder if Halldor likes Ho-ho’s? You know, those cream filled cake snacks you got stoked on back in grade school lunch? I’m sure it was Halldor’s favorite thing to eat in his sack lunch. Actually, nah, he seems more like a twinkie kind of a guy anyway.
Spencer K.

HALLDOR SMASH!!!

Halldor doesn’t have time to make it to the gym between perfect scores at the X Games – so he is forced to sculpt his guns on the jump. Don’t act like your not impressed!

Uh Oh, who turned off the gravity?

Jerk flips are now banned world wide, thanks to this unknown rider who was killed today in a freak snowboarding accident. This man was reportedly seen sneaking Red Dog’s in the port-a-john, harassing little girls, and stealing Nerds Ropes from the chalet. Besides the tattoo of male genitalia on his index finger, there is no further description, vomit in the port-a-john is being tested.
