  5. MCCS Daily Rub in.!!

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Oh man, thanks for the write-up, I think we all got a little taste of the 1st annual MCCS, what a great event, especially for the first year! Whoever was taking those pics was awesome too, really grabbed the thrill on the hill and the festivities at apres-ski. Those sponsors have got to be happy with all of that exposure. I'm really thinking a Coiler with Cateks would be just perfect for me now. Are the dates set for next year? Thanks again :)

    Hey ron

    I may have a a set of two zeros coming up for availabilityif I can pick up and angled set of 3/3 or 6/3.

    I hope all is well.

    I'd like to try zeros but I don't want to give up my 3's, any chance you'd sell'em outright for 20$ each like tex?

  17. Strategies for improving ....

    Here's a few things I try to do-some more successfully than others. If you've got "The Fever", they're all fun!

    -Riding with better (ski or snowboard) riders

    -Riding in tough conditions

    -Keeping yourself and your stuff in good condition

    -I'm a fan of watching videos....a throwback to the old "Cybervision" ski tapes (anybody remember these?)

    -Become a "student of the art"

    -Make the effort to go to where the best are riding once in awhile

    -Get plenty of on-snow time

    -Not sure about skiing to get to be a better boarder but coming from a strong ski carving/racing background has been a HUGE advantage in alpine snowboarding so there might be something to it

    I don't want to ruin anybody's fun but I like to tear it up as much as anybody else, I hear this probably once every day or two, so I stick to one run mostly. 50 midwest runs in a day and even one alpine rider can really tear up the cord on a run!

  21. BTS springs for smaller (lighter) rider

    The yellow springs are pretty soft, I'm 195#'s and running the blues with only a little "preload" and getting a lot of flex, way more than before BTS and I like it. I think the yellows would be the way to go, you could always switch to the blues if they were too soft. I was worried about the blues being too stiff so I have some yellows "in stock" but I haven't tried them yet. They felt really soft tho.

  23. BTS and extreme shin pain (input for adjustment needed)

    That I've been riding in the walk mode for 11 years and no problems. Was thinking of trying BTS, but am just going to continue with status quo.

    The yellow springs seem really soft (I have a set but have only put in the medium blues) and would give a lot of nice flex-obviously less than walk mode tho. The thing about walk mode that is funny is that it looks like just two little plastic tabs keep it from breaking on flexion yet yours have lasted for 11 years (!) I'd say get the BTS for safety but in your case maybe that doesn't apply.
