    Dingbat- thank you for the company name there, I will look into them this afternoon. Can (should?) I use your name when I email?

    Jack - I'll email you in a minute, I've actually emailed W&C earlier this week, so I'm definitely interested

    ncermak - I'll also email you, I'd like to hear more about where you are now and Weston Solutions.

  7. Environmental consulting??

    in The Lodge

    This is a totally shameless plug to see if anybody out there works for, or knows anyone working in Environmental consulting, preferably in the boston area (or anywhere on the way up to Portland Maine, I go to school at Bowdoin)

    I major in Environmental Studies and Spanish, and am looking to get an internship in an environmental consulting firm this summer. Specifically I'm interested in environmental remediation, but I'd like to get experience in any aspect of the field. I've been trying to get a head-start on all of this since I'm studying abroad currently, but business is slow.

    So if you have any info, its much appreciated.

    Thanks

  10. Tinkler Rocketman

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    I've been following this thread since the beginning, great procrastination tool to get me through finals... I hadn't gotten involved until now b/c I'm way too much of a beginner to really chime in, but I do have one question....

    Kildy, you say here

    Tinkler why again was your split board solid in center and out to the nose split same on tail oh ya because your Kildy Flex was split edge to edge in middle to avoid my patent as I instructed you how to avoid my patent, thinking you would never try such a lame idea but I now understand you will do whatever it takes to be the man… my mistake.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

    <o:p></o:p>

    If I piss anyone off sorry, I only dislike Tinkler and anyone in my shoes would.

    I'm wondering why you would explain someone how to specifically avoid your patent? Obviously, as two board designers, you can share ideas/etc, but if you don't want someone stealing your idea, why would you tell him how to avoid the patent in the first place? Maybe this is something that designers do a lot and I'm just not aware of it (b/c I'm far from being a designer)??

    I'm not trying to fan the fire here or make any accusation through this question, this quote has just been bothering me for a while b/c I don't understand the reasoning behind it.

    Thanks!

  12. Whatever happened to??

    in The Lodge

    Posted

    Seriously, what happened to Bob Jenney? He is no longer listed in the members list, all of his very informative posts are gone (some of the great TD2 exploded diagrams would have been good to keep), no longer a link from Bomber to his site. Did something bad go down?

    :confused:

    I haven't talked to him in the last couple months, but he's a good friend of the family's. From talking to him about BOL and his posts previously, it sounded like he's just way too busy (between biking (on the bicycle/bike), boarding, and developing the TD27, etc). Why he's not listed anymore I have no clue, maybe something to do with him developing the TDs for bomber? thats just a random guess though

  15. women's softie setup

    in Want to Buy

    Posted

    I have a friend that is interested in buying an inexpensive soft setup, and I told her I'd check here.

    She's probably about 5'3" - 5'5", so I'm thinking something in the 150s (153, 155 maybe). she a soccer goalie, so I'm sure she's strong enough to move a board thats a little too big

    Anybody have anything they're looking to sell in that size range? Obviously doesnt have to be a women's specific board. bindings included even better. I think she's looking in the $300-400 range.

    Thanks!

  16. Cyclocross bikes

    in The Lodge

    Posted

    I talked to my dad, who logs about 7000 miles a year on his bikes, he got into cyclocross a few years ago, and knows way more about it than I do; hope this helps ...

    A few things off the top:

    Cyclocross bikes are built similar to road bikes and have handlebars and brake/shifters like road bikes. They are built for fairly light off road surfaces - trails, dirt roads, grass, and not for heavy duty single track, rocks, or drops.

    Cross bikes have tires that are about half the width of mountain bike tires, and tires that work well on roads do not work great on dirt and visa versa. Ride with very low profile tires so you can go reasonably fast on pavement and still have some traction off road. He might be better off with a couple of sets of wheels and then spend one day mostly on road, and with a knobby set, go mostly off-road on another day.

    All the major bike manufacturers have seen an explosion in demand for cross bikes and now have models. Redline makes decent bikes at good prices. So does Independent Fabrications at higher prices.

    Go with the clipless pedals, Shimanos with dual entry are great. So are Crank Bros. p

  19. I got pulled over for speeding !

    in The Lodge

    Posted

    years ago, my dad was biking with me in one of those bucket seats attached the seat-post. we were riding along the side of the road, both had helmets on, just out for an afternoon ride. I guess we came to a stop sign, and my dad, seeing there were no cars coming, keeps riding. He then gets pulled over by a cop car and told that doing so was illegal, and was given a ticket!:AR15firin

    how ridiculous is that? he "blew" a stop sign, going 15 mph on a bike and gets a ticket for it. :smashfrea

  21. iPod videos

    in The Lodge

    Posted

    when you do come over to the dark side (mac), visualhub is a great piece of software. you can do anything with it - convert for ipod, avi, mpeg, dvd format, string small mpeg's together to make a full movie, etc etc and all very easy with the pre-sets.

    if you're interested, email me (rcowman at bowdoin dot edu) for some more info/etc. i have a friend who knows way too much, and I get to steal all of his knowledge :eplus2:

  24. carving softies... weak ankles?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Im still getting over a high ankle sprain from this fall, and here's what the PT guys told me to do

    - calf raises

    - get a stretchy band and put it around the ball of your foot and hold the other end in the your ... you have four motions

    - extend foot forward

    - extend left or right

    - pull your foot back towards your body

    - stand on some kind of squishy material (a gym mat, one of those blue half-ball things people use for abs, etc), and do your calf raises, squats, etc - all work the stabilizing muscles

  25. Sugarloaf snow conditions

    in New England

    Posted

    What is the snow like right now? I'm not looking for a "its great!" response, I know they've had 19" in the last week, I need details!

    What type of snow has is it been? Light, Heavy/wet?

    Have they been grooming it every day, or have they been leaving it ungroomed for most of the week? If they've been grooming it, how bumpy is it getting in the afternoon? and are those bumps nice and light or getting heavy and sticky?

    I'm trying to decide what setup to bring tomorrow so thanks for any help with the details!
