Getting rid of a few older boards - not sure they're all older than 2006 but figured it'd be easier to list them in a single thread. 1 - NIdecker Escape - freestyle board 165cm 2 - Oxygen Proton - SL board - 156cm 3 - Heavy Tools Lizard - 165cm All 3 have seen their days on edge. Only the Nidecker shows any sign of damage as pictured on the tip - has been repaired but isn't pretty but is a very functional board and a blast to run all over the place. The SL is super quick and tight - fun board on most terrain. The Heavy Tools is a narrowest of them all, and fast/stiff. Its been ridden the least of them all by far. I'll take any reasonable offers on any of these boards that's over $75+shipping.

What size is the smaller one all the way to the left?

Hey, did these sell?

she's in a 6.5 women's shoe.

I was looking at 126 at first, but it seems the more I look the longer I go - last time I looked it put me at 133/134. I think 139 might be a bit long though - she's only 90lbs and she's pretty small - very athletic though so maybe a 139 would work. What's it look like - she's giving me a hard time about it not looking like a boys board.

How quickly could you ship - and what do you want for it? We're leaving Saturday morning so it'd ideally be here by Friday - I'm in MA. Also, my daughter is 4,10 and about 90lbs. Is this too small for her - don't know much about standard boards. She's only been on a board once so this would be her learning board so shorter is probably better.

Looking for a basic snowboard for my daughter - non-carving type. Probably needs to be about 130cm in length given her size/weight/abilities. If you have something you want to get rid of let me know - need it quick or I'll probably take a ride over to Play it again Sports.

I learned to carve on the Nitro you have pictured - same size too. Great board!

Maybe that's why White dropped out of one of the events.

Anyone a regular at Seven Springs - haven't been there since I was probably 17 - more than that many years ago. I'll be going over our kid's school break Feb 17-25th - if anyone rides there and can provide warnings or cares to ride one day let me know.

We have one of the hitch mounted boxes but they're not large enough to carry skis or boards. Never had a chance to get over to rack attack today - maybe tomorrow.

My family has been using a hitch mounted ski rack because our new car has a glass roof that covers so much space that its almost impossible to mount anything up top. The rack we have now is a nightmare on skis/boards - all the sand/dirt and salt just collect on all of the components and if not cleaned off, destroy the edges (don't ask how I know). I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for protecting the skis/boards while mounted in the back exposed to the elements. I have thought of typical bags, but the thought of those flapping around in the wind for 9 hours of travel is less than appealing. I was thinking I might just go to a shipping store, buy a big role of the plastic wrap, and wrap/tape them up before mounting them to the rack. I'd think a couple layers of the stuff would withstand the traveling. I'm going to RackAttack today to check on any other options we might have for a roof rack but I'm not looking forward to dumping $1k on a new system (roof rack and enclosed ski carrier). I've heard ski bags can withstand the elements while traveling with them - but only for a year or so, which doesn't sound very efficient.

I started almost the same time I learned to snowboard. Around 2000, my wife and I were at Waterville Valley and I decided to take a snowboard lesson - I had skied since probably 1985. I grew up skateboarding - half-pipes but mainly old school street boarding - snowboarding seemed like a better fit so I took a lesson. The snowboarding came to me really fast - by days end, I was pretty comfortable. That same weekend, I happened to see this guy cruising on the edges of the slopes on a snowboard but he was much more graceful than the typical boarder I had seen to that point. I happened to run into the hard booter I had seen in the bar that weekend and while talking I learned about carving in very basic terms. Within a few weeks of that weekend, I purchased a soft boot setup with step-in bindings and a carving board. About 6 months later, I purchased a set of Burton hard-boots, and the rest is history. I've been in hard boots exclusively since and haven't stepped into skis or soft boots since (except a month ago when we had a large snow in VT and I decided to go powder riding for the first time). I can't exactly explain my reasons for wanting to carve more than traditional soft booting - I suppose it started as an interest in how much more refined/graceful it seemed - much closer to carving things up on skis which was my style with skis. As I started to learn, my interest grew to include a need to conquer the carve, the inherent speed and the exhilaration of holding an edge. I could probably go on about the various reasons for my dedication to carving and how it developed, but I have to admit that had I not run into the carver back in that bar, and had a chance to learn a little about it, I'm not sure I'd have a carving passion today. Simply stated, the more the carving community shares some of these reasons for carving with those who express and interest, the larger this community will likely grow.

A while back I had found a good reference source for binding setup - stance, being the one that was always the hardest for me to figure out. Once I got the stance, I usually set the binding cant/angles to what was most comfortable given the need to avoid overhanging the edges. Anyone have a reference? I read through the carver's almanac and it was close but not what I had found previously. Any help finding any additional reference points would be helpful.

Any of this still available? I could use a set for the new board I just purchased.
