BLOODTYPEZX10R

What my daughter and I ride. She's on the X-Model (with bindings) this season exclusively, since she sold her SF to the dude with the tattoo @Mr Wonton. I'm wanting a Super and XC back in my quiver.

Thank you Kneel for your recent order.

Faststik, no wax. Works from -whatever to 32. Rub on and rotobrush if you have it, you'll never go back to regular wax. Also a warmer version available too, I save a bunch of time with this product. PM me if you want to know more. I never scrape..what a waste!

The title of this thread keeps catching my eye..Powder Board. Powder Board was my first snowboard brand with my brother from 1979-1992. Talk about powder (Park City, Utah), that's all we had back then for the first 7 years of riding until Park West opened to boarding in 1986. We went powder boarding, not snowboarding.

Yes, she is quite comfortable on a longer board. A few things that I found we worked on were: In the very beginning she would freak when she would get half way through her turn...keep in mind that in the beginning he will not be linking trenches, when he is drifting from one turn to the next tell him to be patient, be mindful of the downhill edge, it'll come around as long as you can keep him from falling back on the tail with his weight. Oh, yes..and, his board angulation comes from his hips in hardboots, not his ankles. To work on carving: It takes a little speed to make a turn, so start by pointing straight down the fall line then make the turn across and up the hill to stop ("J" turns). Work on that trusting of a set edge. When he can come out of his turn and begin to prepare for the next, look into your turn and through the turn, rotating hips and bringing your shoulders square with the direction and not having an arm lagging behind (the latter kinda one in the same). . I am sure you know all these things, just thought I would bring them out in the open for some teaching ammo. Hope you guys have a great time carving it up!

My daughter started hardbooting at age 9; when her feet were big enough to fit properly in a pair of Head stratus pro boots (22.0M). She is 13 now and started riding a Thirst SF 162 last year (when she was under 5' tall). She has never softbooted at a resort; though we do ride softies at home when we get fresh snow. Hard part is she does not have any friends who hardboot, and she wants to have fun with her friends so she will switch to skiing at some point in the day to hang with them. She puts up with us "old guys" and we are happy to have her represent "us". I enjoy having this time with my daughter, even if she chooses to ski from time to time. Getting them set-up might be difficult to do since they lack the experience and "hardboot vocabulary" to convey to you what they are experiencing.

UPZ RC-11's for sale. Nothing broken, original box, bags, and tools. Liners included. In great shape. Buyer pays shipping. Pm me for more pictures.

I'm lookin forward to the trip.

Well I thought it was an incredible day to carve, rode the Thirst tesi8 all day. Took a few runs with Kram, Dane, Pusbag & wife. Snow was very firm to hard, it would take all the pressure you could give it until your legs collapsed under the G's. Rode, Lower K, Cathedral, Midway, Lil blue, Zip Down, Down the hatch and Loophole..few other runs getting from one place to the other as well as a few duplicates. Not many people on the hill either. Stayed until 2:15. Hope Thursday is another day like today.

Annie and I will be up too, see you tomorrow.

Its spring! I'm riding, it was nice today. Thaaat is correct BWD.. I miss my XC a ton!. I'd keep the SF and get an XC...never sell your Thirst's unless you are in bed with a board builder. Hell, I wish I'd never sold the most recent 8RW, Super and XC from my personal quiver. I need a drink to go with my popcorn, ha ha.

I apologize for that, seems that FastStik is offering a discount for the "bundle". I will ask them if they can offer the discount for just one product.

FastStik discount code is: Thirst FastStik is quick to ship product to all who order. Give it a try, its good stuff, quick and easy to apply and you can spend more time actually tuning your boards (like those hideous edges, lol). Two products cover all temps. Oh, and I don't get any money for selling FastStik.
