I am not so sure they are good for jibber monkeys either. I watched one float a nice kicker into deep snow last year and listened to the core snap when he landed. He swore there was nothing wrong with it after but it sounded like a rifle shot and with the floppy reverse camber it was nearly impossible to tell if lasting damage was achieved.

I sort of remember someone doing radical surgery to save a cracked 4807. Was that you? AS far as the euro impression of the board, I would agree its not a true swallowtail and rides much differently. that said who gives a %$^& They have a ride all their own in the POW and they are much more versatile. Plus they totally rule in the slop:biggthump The TRUE ST only gets ridden when the sky opens up and blesses us with more than a foot of the good stuff. We don't have near as much wide open space to ride here in the states. Many of our resorts are below the treeline so a big swallowtail becomes a liability. My 196 gets ridden rarely but when its in its element there is nothing like it!

very subtle JACK:lol: who knew you had such a singular Wit!

If my winter season stays busy this year I am in. I will know by early december. some of the north idaho guys are talking road trip down through montana to SES. carpool possibilities.

I found the legend to be incredibly heavy. It was a good ride but it wouldn't do anything my 4807 didn't do better.

what are the specs? It looks a bit like the dynastar legend.

starting to stick to:lurk:

snowing on the Big:1luvu: ITs actually snowing on the valley floor this afternoon:biggthump I will get nothing done now:eplus2:

ITs snowing in bigfork right now:eplus2:

mr T has both a 188 and a 197 for sale in the for sale section:biggthump

no wonder my toilet is flushing backward this week:lol::lol::lol:

the wool will keep you warm when you are totally soaked. nothing else will. Good merino wool isn't itchy. silk is a close second. Just no substitute for natural fibers so far.

let me know what you think about that radon. they seem to be headed in the right direction. I have been looking at them for awhile. Just dropped the hammer on that dupraz and a back up 4807 dynastar 178 so probably done buying for this year.

The slalom is red and white. the blue one is the freecarve. a little wider and loads of fun.

had to throw in an identity for the fun of it. how about some more swallowtail footage. preseason teaser time:biggthump

well sure you moved it but did you fix it?????

:lol::lol: LOL with all the wack jobs on this board who can tell if its being hacked or if its just normal everyday conversation. side note: its easier to read if your into your third long island:eplus2:

somebody stole my posts!

thread mayhem threads are going strange places and posts are being randomly assigned to threads other than intended. MODERATOR

for example I started this thread yet there is another post showing before mine. I need to start smoking something to keep up with this ****.

I am seeing posts go to the wrong threads and posts just disappear. is the board crashing do we have gremlins viruses what the HEY is happening?

it is a two yr old thread;)

there are like 4 posts missing between the last two on this thread

The local powder mafia has numerous examples of these in several lengths. The 181 is a great all around pow board. the longer versions require deeper dumps to really enjoy. here's nick on a 181 out of bounds big mtn how do I embed these things?
