Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms-- children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction Manual contains important health and safety information that you should read and understand before using this software.

Avoid Damage to Your Television Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of gameplay may "burn in" to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner's manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner's manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.

PHOTO>CURTES SPONSOR>BURTON PHOTO>TREVOR GRAVES SPONSOR>HIGH CASCADE COLD FRONT For some people who learn to ride, the infection's immediate. You're daydreaming about powder at work, at school; always freaking for your next day on the hill. You go up two days a week, then three, and then you take the leap and move to the mountains so you can ride non-stop. You're on the first chair in the morning, and everyone who sees that single track in the fresh knows who made it. You don't stop for lunch, don't take your cell, and you're knocking tricks off the "must learn" list like a champ. You're driven--committed. The path is clear: you're going pro. But be ready for harsh times. You'll travel all year, chasing the snow to Switzerland, Australia; to every frozen corner of the globe. You'll live out of bags and crave a home-cooked meal. You won't see your friends and family for months at a time. But you do it, because it's what you love. It's what gets you out of bed in the morning and fills your dreams at night. If you've got what it takes-- courage, style, aerial calm, and legs of steel--you just might make it. ...
