    Been Riding An Axis 177 for 2 1/2 years weigh 210 lbs and have only demo'ed the Prior. I found the Prior to be more lively but not as stable while carving, and a little quicker in the tighest of trees. I agree with this statement made by Sean at Donek: "I think the major difference between the Axis and 4X4 is how we weighted the powder vs carving performance. When I designed the Axis, I build a board that could go anywhere, but I looked at the frequency I felt many riders would see hard pack vs powder. I felt that the hardpack won out in most cases. As a result the Axis was designed to be a carving board that can do trees. I think the 4X4 is more of a powder/tree board for carvers. Chris might say it a bit differently, but the flex on the 4X4 is a bit softer than the Axis." Hope this helps and Thor is a great person to work with, looking foward to seeing you on the hill Buell, Kipp

    Snowed all day here at the house yesterday, hope it keeps up for the season. I'd love to hold onto this tanker, I really like the looks of it. Maybe I'll have Sean build me one someday with the same graphics. Hope you're healed and ready to snowboard, Kipp

    and what I don't know, things here at Powder are off to a slow start- finally met up with other hardbooters. Buell and Rebecca are tearing up all fresh stuff, DAMN ! Enjoyed riding with both of you- fun to see someone enjoying the great terrian of Powder Mt. Rollers, steeps and big fluffy creeks. Come up and say HI. Kipp "Isn't fun the best thing to have?"

    Been riding with a very thin synthetic for 3 years in my Heads and never get cold feet, keep 'em on the floor up by the heater vent on the ol' Buick on the way up and as long as I don't over crank the buckles my feet are as comfy as can be :rolleyes: See you at Powder Mountain, Kipp Pray for Snow (3-4 feet would be great)

    Come down to the bottom of the lift with alot of speed once and did 4, then the lift operator stopped me and wanted to check my pass. I told him not to bother me I told him "I'm Local".then again it could be the medical marijuanna my friend asked me to hold because his pockets were full and I'm a good guy?
