  1. just wondering what kind of pants are you guys riding? mine have nearly weekly to be re-sewed during snowboard season... the weak points are the knees, outside on both legs. any suggestions?
  2. ..now over 20days on them and no single thread comes loose 'till yet. hmm, maybe the setup could be a reason? i preloaded the downspring fully, the uppers are locked in the latest possible thread.
  3. ..get a 'no wax base' from virus and never have to wax again...
  4. i glued some p-tex (not really p-tex, but i don't know exactly what type of it is...) pieces on the gloves. works pretty good! have to reglue from time to time but the glove definetly last longer and slices very well over the snow. glue is a gel cyanacrylat:biggthump
  5. ahm...groomer grommet...!
  6. :o you're a alpine ace and i'm just a shred groomer...:rolleyes:
  7. ..shoveling? just came back in from a solid workout of shoveling! hope there is enough fresh out there, so we can go for a little session on a near hill in the nite...:rolleyes:
  8. flow bindings and freerider... only when there is real powder, not just a bit fresh on the slopes!
  9. that's exactly the point! these are pure racingboards.
  10. yes babe, i'm with AK on this one!
  11. best wishes too from me man! i know this pain...aarrgh! be shure it will heal dude. follow the training from your future physic trainer and start doing some muscle workouts during summerseason helped me a lot.
  12. yeah buddy, i would say one more 'infected' the maybe concaveness is due to the 3 dimensional building. however. as said, don't worry about it. i tuned my base-edge 1 degree and side 87. this makes 88 degrees and works best for me. i love to see riders doing there very first turns on a virus, it's always interessting how the feelings are. but, every time a rider is not a beginner, the reviews always are like yours ah, just found your F2 on ebay! ....
  13. yeah folks, this is what made every virus just a real virus... of corse you gonna like (love) this feeling or you don't..
  14. yes, thats true. very old northwaves... the funky binding plates are 'hangl' plates from skibindings. cut in the middle for one in the front, one in the back and the same ond each side of the board. and yes, this is for more edge pressure. why not? it worked all the way to the podium... 2 medals more for switzerland:1luvu:
  15. oh yes dude! 6 and a half weeks only snowboarding in BC!!! we start in calgary, doing a big loop trough BC and back to calgary. would love to catch up with some local guys. area vancouver must be around middle january on the program!
  16. ..ok, so tahoe is the next big step for me, after BC next season..! switzerland has some very nice resorts too, but THIS view...
  17. How? ..just move your weight buddy...;) don't stay on the board like 'glued' in one position, bring in some serious movement from front to back. i'm sorry for my lack in english words for professional translation....:o
  18. ...all i can say to the pics is WOW!!! where is this?
  19. i don't wanna do some silly promotion.. but a board with a progressive sidecut let's you easyli change the radius while on the edge. if not available, try to bring some pressure to the rear foot right after starting the carve. means, don't push long from the front or the middle of the board. of corse this works not on all kinds of boards, depending on construction and charakters. just give it a try:biggthump
  20. i also greased the upper spring against the housing. the more forward that is adjusted, the less space is between the spring and the housing, causing more rubbing.because i ride with maximum forward (i even 'tuned' the bts to get more forward out of it), the rubbing is too much without some grease. i also put some blue locktite on the upper nut. now there are around 10days on the bts-suzukas and no problems so far.
  21. this is the very new 'vampir'! so hot, it was even warm at the this year's 'ispo' in munich 2 weeks ago..!
  22. ...i'm moving home just 2 weeks befor SES next year... ! how can i get 2 more weeks holiday??? any sugestions guys?
  23. ..can't open up... any tips??
  24. every one has to visit zermatt at least once per life! the big mountain (the matterhorn) still takes me banned every time i'm up there... the right carving slopes are not so easy to find but they exist. you should try out the 'rothorn fis dh' slope! the nightlife is awesome, lots of little bars and stuff. easy to do apres ski (board) 10hrs or longer! don't forget to get up early in the morning...
