  1. WTB Ibex 4-hole bindings with universal cant. Many thanks BB
  2. Granted, Slopestyle is not an alpine event, but that's quite an accomplishment for a 17-year-old and worthy of note. Kudos! BB
  3. Adidas is releasing a sneaker in which the sole/insole (?) are printed based on the purchaser's foot measurements. The shoes are not cheap, $300 a pop, and in very limited release at the moment. I'll bet this technology will be successful. If it is, and as costs decrease, surely hardboot liners will become available using a similar process. AND THEN, can hardboot shells be far behind? I hope so! It will be a Godsend for people with problem feet and ankles!! https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/18/adidas-joins-carbons-board-as-its-3d-printed-shoes-finally-drop/ BB
  4. Thanks, Bob! Of all the motion sport media that spice the Forum, longboard tip riding is my favorite. In my opinion, the ultimate, flowing, fluid man/wave dance. BB
  5. http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-bruce-brown-20171211-story.html https://www.surfer.com/features/rip-bruce-brown/ One of the great documentaries of all time. And one of the great posters, too. Were it not for The Endless Summer, I probably wouldn't have surfed. And if I hadn't surfed, I surely wouldn't have boarded. Mahalo, Sir BB
  6. Have ridden AT's for 15+ years. By BOL standards, I'll never be an even intermediate carver. However, I'm nearly 70, and for my mellow, have-fun style, the easy walking Scarpas are a Godsend. BB
  7. Did a Google search but can't find details - only a site in French. Owned a number of Burtons during the PJ days. Fond memories.
  8. RIP, John Severson, Surfer Magazine founder and father of today's surf media. http://www.surfer.com/features/rip-john-severson-1933-2017/#WXidmrgc15u5jorg.97 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/28/sports/john-severson-dead-surfer-magazine-artist.html?_r=0 BB
  9. hmmmmmm... looks like Cotton's... heh, heh
  10. Heard on NPR yesterday. Deal, apparently, must be approved by State of Vermont. Only posting this because, amazingly, no one else has (?) Sorry if mistaken and topic's already been covered. BB
  11. BRAVO for the Diamond Blade!! I hope to own one soon for hardpack in Possum Pouch, "The Ice Coast's southernmost carve outpost." BB
