Do the Doneks cut through crud well?

That's awesome, I wasn't sure if she would crack under the pressure. -
164 or 165 has always felt like the perfect size, with a 26 cm waist. I could go up to a 168 or so but nothing shorter, feels too small. I'm wary of rockered boards because I worry how it affects carving performance.
-
Tanker is a big board isn't it? I'm looking for something at 165, that's my perfect size. I've heard a lot of good thing about the steepwater, would like to try one some day.

I've come to enjoy them somewhat. I watched a skiing technique video on them, it was saying to turn before the mogul then go around it. Sounds simple but it really helped me and now I like em.

No, I ride burton C02's and Driver boots.
-
I'm on my 4th season with my Burton T6, I love it but it beats the crap out of me in choppy snow. What freeride decks would you guys suggest for a fast, damp ride?
-
Yeah that would help, this ruined it for me.

Great job Seth and Nate in the Boarder Cross!

I felt bad for the guys having to ride that course, it looked brutal. -
did you guys see the new bindings with suspension at SIA? Interesting idea, they are made of magnesium:eek: www.manicsnow.com
-
It definitely is nice to see a focus on freeriding. Seems like it's been forgotten sometimes. I really like the look of the new boards too. The deeper trailer looks nuts:eek:
-
Awesome! More pics!
-
Wow that's awesome. I googled and someone said they retailed for $300 which seems low compared to the $400+ C60's of today:mad:
-
Bob- what were the X base bindings? Surprised I never heard of them.
-
The jacket I use is an Arcteryx Matador, there's some great deals on them on ebay. It has 150 g of primaloft insulation, it's really warm but not bulky. Another jacket I like is the Oakley battalion, I tried it on and has a nice fit, not tight but not baggy. It has a zip in tricot insulation, about $270.
-
That's good to hear big bump. Rocker intrigues me but I worry what it will do as far as high speed freeriding, etc. People have said the Lib Banana boards are squirrely and have poor stability.

I look up the mountain because someone always tends to bolt out of nowhere and pass me at what seems like 80mph. At A-basin on Sunday, I was really enjoying this natural gully, carving side to side like it was a halfpipe when 3 or 4 skiiers decided to do that. -
Let me know when you're going to Whitetail Pius!
-
Saw it at Vail
-
The Catek's really intrigue me but I wonder about the aluminum being too harsh and unforgiving going through chop. Also, how do they compare in weight to something like a Burton C02?
-
I was out riding and saw something I'd never seen. The board was barely wider than a powder ski and the angles were almost parallel to the board, feet right behind one another. What was it?
-
The leverage, security issue has always bothered me. I would never, ever use a disc mounted binding on it. Interested to hear from more people who've used it.
-
My favorite rider ever. Was watching footage of him last night, so great all around.
