I have an old burton alp 7.0 that is asym and maybe 9m scr. Have not rode it in 10 or maybe 15 years. Maybe I will set it up and try it on some slower runs.
Wondering what people like to ride best on crowded slopes or off days when conditions are bad or just taking it easy, slower carving, just cruising, etc...
Approximate side cut radius, length, stiffness if you have it.
Thanks.
Looking for a cant plate for use with my burton race plate bindings and non-burton board (i.e. 4-hole not 3-hole mounting to deck). Does anyone have one or know where I can buy a new one from Ibex (don't need the bindings just a single cant plate)? Thank you!
Anyone have a swoard deck they are looking to get rid of. I weigh 210 lbs. Looking for a board with less sidecut and wider waist for "extreme carving" or whatever they call it.
Andrew-
Was fun riding with you up at cascade mtn. I live in iowa city, but plan to make an annual family trip to the Dells/Cascade mtn. I liked cascade...not a bad place my midwest standards.
C u around. -adam
Ps. The kids (4 and 7) had their first snowboard lesson. Was cold that day but they still liked it.
I will be driving out in a large SUV (seats 6 comfortably - has roof rack) and I would like to have a friend or two (or three or four).... Anyone interested in riding along, sharing room costs, and hanging out for the week?
I'm a pretty normal dude. I can get along with most anyone.. -Adam

I used to ride whatever angle would keep my toes and heels on the board. Strangely I think my rear foot ended up with a steeper angle due to the narrower part of the board back there. I had a lot of fun riding soft flexy boards in soft snow with that setup.
i think I had one of the Madd softie boards from way back in like 1992 maybe?? and come to think of it.. I think it did delaminate (like Bobdea said). I think it had some red and white plaid graphics on it..and maybe it was actually a k2 board that they put the madd mikes logo on it? I remember going to Madd Mikes in Boston and it was a wind-surfing / snowboarding shop..I think. Does that make sense? or am I remembering this wrong? After it de-lammed k2 sent me a new board (without the madd mikes logo).
I never made the connection that that was the same "Madd".
I had hair back then... at least I have better gear now. :)
Thanks for sharing your experiences and advice. It may be a long-shot for me to find a decent job but it is one I am shooting for...It is the first thing that I have truly been excited about in a while...so I'll keep sending in resumes and keep my fingers crossed. Maybe I'll get an interview out there and be out there yet this winter season. If so I will give you a shout. -Adam
interesting discussion about side-cut radius..clothoid...etc.
I have never raced but own two WCR's (one with 13m radius, the other with 10m radius).
Those boards are so much fun for "free-carving"...the 13m is crazy high-speed fun agressive fun.
A long boarding, snow boarder in Indiana...I am sorry. Your plight may be similar to mine: I grew up life-gaurding on the east coast Newport, RI, and skiing NH/Vermont/Maine. Now I live in Iowa and my main recreation is going out to eat. I do play a little volleyball but I keep getting fatter and more bored everyday. Thanks for the info on Santa Fe. -Adam
Yeah...I had a partnership that kind of didn't work out the way I would have liked...so now I am taking some time to get things sorted out. I'm between jobs so if you want to head up to Sundown sometime I am available. I could pick you up in CR. We will be in Florida 12/26 - 1/2, but other than that I am game. Shoot me an email whenever. I got a new titanium board last year that is real nice. Let go up there soon. -Adam
