  1. The shop is open by apointment only if you want to go there and buy something. They are doing a lot of business online and will ship to you. Don't be afraid to get a hold of them to buy stuff as they have lots of items and will ship to you.
  2. The base is in good condition. I had it lightly ground by Denver sports lab a year ago to add a little more structure. It has been hot waxed by me several times since then. I Don't have more pictures of the base. The board still has good camber. I do not know exactly how old it is? I bought it from Jorge at ses about 3 years ago. I put light use on it when i rode it. These boards are very hard to find used. Very fun to ride. Remember best offer you are not requried to pay 400.00. A new one was selling for 900.00 plus shipping from europe.I am only selling it because I have to stop riding. I would like to sell this.
  3. which model? I am having a friend sell my 162 pureboarding bastard on e bay. 400.00 or best offer. The add says 160 because he measured the effective edge I think? The only reason I am selling it is because I can't snowboard anymore. Look under carving snowboard to find it.
  4. i could ride it at 30 and 15 like I do with the dupraz.
  5. wow! Thank you for the info. I still wonder if this board would be too wide for me with my size 25 UPZ boots? Good price though for a new metal board.
  6. I went to a shop today to see if they were going to carry this board? They said no as it is too expensive and is a very specific board. They will special order it. I was told it might be available in Steamboat? i was also told that I can demo it at Loveland and keystone at the demos this year? I will call around to other shops in Denver to see if it will be available? I would like to look at it at a shop if it is available? I might not want to demo as I have small feet and it might be too wide? I talked to the Ride rep who happended to be at this shop I went to today. The shop is a dealer for ride snowboards. i think it will be funny to find out that no one in denver will be stocking this board? I will be laughing about it. I did find out that this year will be year 2 for this board and they did have some issues with delaming but have fixed that? I will call tommorow some other shops to see what I can find out?
  7. If no one answers on this forum you could contact Donek snowboards and they would be able to explain the diffrences in the 2 boards. They are making the glass free carve again with newer dimensions.
  8. thank you for the info about this gear! I am having fun riding this board the way it is with 20lbs of tire pressure. I might just buy another carveboard already set up with the urethane wheels so that I don't have to take a chance on this not working that well? I think it would be fun to have the shorter 34" board with the urethane wheels as this would allow riding on more types of terrain than the rubber tire board.
  9. I don't think i will be able to convert my board to the new wheel set up as I would have to mount the trucks in farther than 2" each to clear the sharp bend on the nose and tail of the board? I took 1 truck off and made a pencil line 2" in from the center of the mounting holes and the truck will not mount flat on the board from that spot. Also the board is wider with the truck further in and the wheels might hit the deck? I am glad I did not order parts yet. I must have the old version?
  10. I will be sticking with the carveboard line either what I have or I might just buy the newest carveboard with the 104mm wheels and sell my current carveboard if I like the newer one better? The carveboard seems to work good enough for what I want to do .
  11. Thank you for the info on those parts. I can buy a complete carvestik used for the same money as it would cost to buy parts from carveboard to convert my other board. I wonder if the new 104mm wheels would be better than the 80mm wheels on the carvestik? I don't like the idea of drilling the carveboard because if I ever wanted to sell it might not help?
  12. Has anyone converted a rubber tire carve board to urethane and if you did did you like it better? I contacted the company and they said it can be done if you are willing to mount both trucks 2" closer in. You would have to drill the deck. Reasons why I would like to do this- lighter weight, quicker turning, no more tires to inflate or decide which pressure to use based on type of hill, less rolling resistance with urethane which would allow you to ride on more types of terrain. I would be buying the new 104mm wheels and axles to do this.
  13. Thank you for this post. i started on a snurfer back in 1978. The snurfer has been reissued and is being produced again with permission from Sherman Poppen.
  14. If you are still interested in a Virus board you might call Bola at all board sports as he has a metal 162 sl board at a very low price but it is in real good shape as I saw it today when I was up there paying for a board that I bought. 303-415-1600 Cheers Matt
  15. Does anyone know if you can recycle old snowboards in Denver,CO? Afew years ago you could take them to Colorado ski and golf but not now.
  16. Lordmetroland- Idid not get your pm from Saturday? you may contact me at mcurtis20@hotmail.com or my cell phone 720-402-2152 or work 303-722-6081 to set up a time to meet up. I will be going to golden to fly tomorrow wens if it is not too windy? I also might go out Sunday and I am on vacation next week week of March 20 and could meet you in Golden to look at this board. If you are going to call me today before 6pm you can call the work number as I left my cell phone at home. I am very motivated to sell as I cannot ride anymore. Cheers Matt
  17. Dave you are next in line if I can't get this sold to Lordmetroland. I will let you know.
  18. Lonbordin, thank you for the advice but I have repeated this injury a few times and am worried that I could cause permanent damage if I continue to have this happen and it is caused by snowboarding. I did the same thing last April .
  19. i have a Dupraz d1 6' ++ that I have to sell. why am I selling? My chiropractor says NO MORE SNOWBOARDING UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET A HIP REPLACEMENT! My last day was Feburary 9 of this year . I had to have the chiro adjust my back and hip and I am fine and can bike ride and walk but no more snowboarding. if you are interested in this board give me a call at 720-402-2152. i also have a standard d1 as well. I could meet you in Golden somewhere to look at these boards as I do go to golden to fly model airplanes at the arvada field which is on highway 93. I have Sundays and wensdays off so give me a call. cheers Matt Curtis
  20. Is this still available and is 435.00 the price drop price? I am interested. I live in Denver and could come to Boulder to get it? If you see this reply I am in Boulder right now and could come buy to look at it and possibly buy? You can cal me at 720-485-2283 Matt Curtis I will be coming back up tommorow to ride at Eldora as well I am at all Board sports right now.
  21. So here is what I did and it worked. I stood in my current setup on the carpet and noticed that my front leg was going backwards behind the boot shell if I wanted to push on the shell for heelside so I adjusted the front boot for way more foward lean. i also noticed that my knee was off center to the right so I put in outward cant in my front boot which lined it up better. i also am running outward cant in rear boot as I am very bow legged. I also added more foward lean to the rear boot and used the gray toungue to make it stiffer. All of this made me get foward more and took the stress off the back of the front leg. it felt real good today on the hill and I was carving better. I don't think I need inward cant since i am very bow legged? the gray toungues keep my feet more comfortable as they don't collaspe when I tighten the buckles down. Since I am running way more foward lean I don't need to try to flex the boots foward as much because I am already in the right place. I can crank the buckles down more which really works well on the front foot which helps to keep my leg in the right place and provides more power when needed. I had a great day today and will continue to give this new setup a try. i think i improved my turns a lot by doing this. I am riding the Virus upz boots which suposedly have a stiffer race cuff than the other upz although they do make a boot that is stiffer than mine as well.
  22. My front leg is hurting during heelside turns on my calf and right above the calf behind the knee. I think part of it is more stretching is needed which I am doing and something with set up in the boot or binding. I am working to get lower and tilt the board up higher in the turn. I will be riding tomorrow and might make a change or 2 to the set up to see if it will help?
  23. I know several riders that run 6 degree toe lift . Also I noticed on my torino Olympic tape that 1 of the racers was running a lot of toe lift on a Burton binding. I might have to try this again? I will have to make a shim to go under the binding out of plastic cutting board. I suppose I could buy the Burton 7 degree cant for the race plates. I did not try moving bindings forward yet? I have never been able to load up the nose of a board which is why I was wondering if the Pureboarding riders run the cant in the rear to make it eaiser to do this as you can still get back if you want.
  24. Yes I have decided to stay with my upz boots after riding my Deluxe yester day. I was riding with 3 on the forward lean on the front boot which is less than upz and leg still getting tired. I did try 4 and not foward enough so I must be getting forward more which is a good thing. I used to ride 4 all the time a while ago. working on getting more active with my front leg to start turns harder . I would not know how to put in toe lift at 6 degrees on a Burton or nidecker binding? I might be able to do this on my phiokia binding? the deluxe boots are hard on the top of my foot and the upz fits my foot better. so if I would go 6 degree on the rear I would be at 15 dergrees heel lift in the rear? I will see what I can do?
