Gossamer

I need them, I will pm you later. Thank you

Helmet all the time now and a back protector. Pret Cirque X (mips helmet) Knox track vest spine protector. Black Diamond Telekneesis knee pad on my trailing knee because it seems to skim along the ground occasionally. ?

The Rossi is a great all mountain board that carves well. That's a fair price.

They seem to be going for around 300, it would depend on condition. Thank you.

The cold air this morning is getting me excited to make some turns. And I'm looking forward to seeing more hardbooters here, most people here look at me trying to decide what I'm riding. (no it's not a monoski, yes it's a snowboard) I spend most my time at Hidden Lake usually every Sunday and I get some half days in during the week (11:00-4:30) I ride my Coiler Monster retro surf woody topsheet most days, not that there are so many others carving here that I'll get lost in the crowd. See you up there Boardguru!

Posting just for the great ending.

I would like some if someone wants to sell a pair.

For the first time in my life I contiplated how I want to die. On Mars, I could be the first to die there? That and I'd be closer to heaven and farther from hell.

I second this! The Geckos have got me riding more forward than I ever have, turning tighter than I ever have, while stepping on the tail of the board so hard the turns are shooting out my a**! There, I admitted it publicly, there's nothing better than snapping turns off the tail end! Kipp

It occurred to me over the weekend that I may have inadvertently been talking dirty to the new lifties on my mountain. They hired two cute young girls from Argentina so I've been chatting with them a little. I was having a good day riding when I got to the bottom of the hill I said to one of them "it was really hard this morning but it's starting to soften up!" I went up for another handful of runs, nailing some incredible turns and I was really excited when I got to the lift, when I got to the front I said to her "it's like riding a big rollercoaster" I'm grinning as I'm pointing down at my Coiler. It occurred to me while riding up that she may have thought I was pointing at my crotch. I'm blushing as I type this, trying to laugh about it. I may have to ride a different lift for awhile. Kipp

After 5 weeks of riding the Apex Geckos all I can say is every time I go out turns just keep on getting better, tighter and easier. A year ago I would have said that there was no way to improve my Coiler Monster, like Frankenstein I'm now just seeing the Monster come alive! I'm even dipping my toes into the steeper stuff now and again, not bad for a 55 year old man if I may say. I'm going to have to ask Bruce how he injected helium into the board, believe it or not the 182 got even more nimble! Not since I added BTS to my boots have I felt such a step up on how aggressive I can ride, now I slice through crap snow that in the past I would avoid. Take all this for what it's worth, I know it's hard to judge opinions when you haven't seen how someone rides, but it was money well spent for sure! Kipp

Powder Mountain is doing an incredible job of grooming the last couple of years, lots of room here and you don't have to worry about getting run over as much as other places, come on up! As always Buell's advice is dead on, if you need any information about this sport you won't find anyone better. Kipp

I clicked on this expecting a Monty Python skit, or the Spanish inquisition.

Buy a Rossignol XV and you can have both. I'm soft booting turns that on a good day don't feel much different than riding my Monster. It can be more tiring and the boots cause more irritation, otherwise the board slices and dices the chop and up to a foot of pow better than anything I've ever ridden.

Thank you, we just need snow!

Thanks for the boots, great condition. I appreciate the effort to get them out quickly.

I've now made three trips with the Geckos and I can say there are no negatives, only positive. I've been riding a Coiler Monster 182 for the past eight years along with a Donek Ax (before Sean changed it to Axis) the board is 15 years old and is a solid piece of lumber and it still confidently rails the icy ravines here but can wear me out quickly so I picked it to ride with the Geckos Carves first (red bumpers with one yellow at the front toe side and aft on the heel side.) Sidewinders with blue elastomer, TD2 rings with blue again. On the first trip down I was aware of the increased height but after 4 turns that feeling was gone, the board felt exactly the same but as I crossed the chop that skiers make as they enter a run the Ax pushed through as sweet and easy as my Monster and as I railed heel side on the shiny ice the board held perfectly and I found myself a little closer to the ground than I usually get. By the third run I was setting my heel side edge harder and scrubbing speed better than I ever had on the Ax. It was a very predictable and confident feeling.I was able to ride for an additional hour and a half that first day. I should mention that I weigh 205 without gear on. Today I did have the Geckos on my Monster and had the same positive results, tighter turns, smoother ride and just more fun in every way, I think I may experiment with orange bumpers just to get that feeling of a Big Ol' Caddy cruising across the desert at 150mph.

I'll take the boots, will also PM

Thank you, board is in great condition. Very excited to try it.

The board is SOLD. Thank You. This is one I may regret selling.

Sorry, no plate and no bindings. I just copied NHrider's post from when I bought the board.

No, it's been owned by a couple of members here. It is in very good condition. I bought it from NHrider, this was his for sale description: Built for a 195lb'er. Haven't ridden this board much as I have others similar I like more. Boards never been ground and is in great shape other than a few minor scratches.

No, sorry I don't want to deal with the extra paperwork involved. Thanks for your interest.
