To my untrained eye the Manabu technique looks the way all the modern racers do it, reminds me of Bordy and Bruce. The 2nd vid is probably represents the typical bol'er more often than not.

This outfit has a bigger selection, including a $350 pair that looks like it has heating elements to the fingers. http://cozywinters.com/heated-gloves.html

I have a 23 cm wide 188 coiler pure race. In a 10 scale i would say it's 7-8 Glass construction and should be stiff enough for your weight . $250 shipped. bindings not included

Another vote for the ufc, it is the most user friendly board i have ridden. Also a good setup for EC.

As a few people have noted rotation is the key, you really cannot rotate enough on heelside. When i go into the heelside i try to point my head uphill, this serves to get me more upright which seems to work better for me and helps me get a few more degrees of rotation. Another thing you might try is during the transition instead of pull/ push try doing a more gradual pull/ release , don't extend your legs all the way. Transition speed is also important, notice on Patrice's photo sequence he is done with the meaty part of the turn before he starts going across the fall line. I think that while you are going across the fall line the only things that should be happening is that you are in the pulling part of the sequence and maybe letting the board run a bit if you need to pick up speed. Have faith in the technique, you might just have to throw yourself down onto the snow a few times before it clicks. Btw good riding with you at SES and my monster IS as big as you think.

If you read Corey's original post you will see that he understands the limitations of EC, i don't think he was asking what's better just a " how to". Not the place for the old " i'm better cause i ride out east " attitiude.

How about this ? coiler non metal 188, 23 cm waist 15 or so scr. bindings not included $250 shipped

Sending any of that good stuff to SES ?

Saturday's not in the cards , maybe i'll see you guys sunday am. Have a good time.

Not sure what year, new 190 Rossi wc. Waist width is 18 cm, don't know about the rest of the specs. $300 shipped in the conus. The plastic you see is the original wrapper.

Sh*t i remember that run, A-Basin i think. I still dream about that day

I believe Garrett spends the bulk of his time in Hawaii surfing, he still gets on the snow now and then. I figure Sean ( donek ) owes him a t-shirt at least when the one he has wears out . From this past January at Mt. Rose Guess which one spends a lot of time in the lab?

I just used Zach's board as a reference, curious about the different patterns and what would be compatible with fin's plate.

So compatible with upm ?

Thanks fin, clear as mud !1 can anyone identify this pattern ?

Is the upm hole pattern same as the hangle ? If not will it work on hangle patterned boards ?

Hey Alex, Good to hear from you, not spending all your time protesting i see

I had a stat 5 and 6, still have fond memories of those boards.

I don't think there was anything racial implied at all, just more of the ignorant EC bashing which is actually equal opportunity:AR15firin

Anyone hear about the Canadian premier who had a heart procedure done in the U.S ? http://sweetness-light.com/archive/cn-prime-minister-my-heart-my-choice I don't have a problem with more freebies, as long as the chinese are willing to finance it. When the good times end, prepare for a greatly reduced standard of living. "A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only last until the citizens discover they can vote themselves largesse out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that the Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, to be followed by a dictatorship, and then a monarchy."

Thanks for all the vids Tom. You guys look like you're having too much fun.

Anyone else think he looks like Kjl ?
