I'm the proud owner of the white Incline/Wide featured on the most recent video posted on the Donek Website. It's a 161 Incline with decambered Nose & Tail & VSR (9-11m) Sidecut! Woo hoo!

I just got a bunch at REI, if you have a store locally or online.

I just took the day off, so I'll see y'all there!

This was the type of info that I was looking for. Thanks again!

I was curious, for those of you who use an insulated mid-layer jacket, what is your preference between down or synthetic insulation for inbounds, lift accessed snowboarding purposes?? (eg: a down sweater vs synthetic jacket?) I'm looking for something to layer in between base & shell, and was wondering what people preferred/swear by on BOL. Thanks!

I reached out to Sean @ Donek (smartin@donek.com) about a month ago, and he had a 161 Wide in his demo rack. Might be worth contacting him to see if it would be a fit for your son. http://www.donek.com/specs.html

+1 Definitely contact Sean about what's left from his demo fleet that he was selling a few months back. http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30805 I picked up a Demo Axxess 172 from Sean, and honestly, the board is really way too nice to use as a back-up/rock board :)

What's the waist width on it? Thanks!

Japan wins VS Denmark 3-1, advancing to the round of 16! (I even bet against Japan in my bracket, so I am VERY pleasantly surprised, and just put in for 1/2 day off on the 29th for the Round of 16 match against Paraguay.) For Japan, this is a HUGE honking deal, as prior to this World Cup, they have never won a match on foreign soil during World Cup competition. Even in a Japan, where Soccer trails in popularity behind Sumo & Baseball, they televise the majority of games that the National Team plays on Free National TV, and the players and team receive enough coverage so that majority of the general public are aware of the team and their performance, and I am sure that people are wearing their Samurai Blue to work after watching the game at 530AM. It is so refreshing to watch World Class Soccer matches, with the various styles matched up against each other, and especially without the commercial interruptions that are such an integral part of all of the major sports that are enjoyed in the US. Hopefully, the dramatic and inspirational turn of events for the US team will create more fans of the sport in the US of A. Go JAPAN!

I'm rooting for the Samurai Blue, including 1/2 days off work to cheer them on live! Japan is off to a good start beating Cameroon, but I'm getting a lot of flak for not picking them to get through the Group Rounds...

I'm interested in Pics and Specs as well, when you have a chance. Thanks!

And now this comes out..... http://www.priorsnowboards.com/boards_bx.php Decisions decision...

I dropped All Boards Sports an e-mail with an inquiry, but I was trying to see if there are any riders out there looking to "re-home" their boards at the end of the season. I wanted to see what options might be available before looking for new boards! :)

Hi James: Thanks for the heads up! Greg actually reached out to me for the last WTB I posted, looking for a Metal FC Board, and I declined, for now, as I had already found a VSR, and recommended he post here on BOL. I'm trying to find a board that I can ride with soft boot bindings and minimal boot out, but that Black Top Kessler sure is H.O.T! I just may change my mind after all :) Goro

Since I had great luck with my first WTB (VSR), I'll try another, since I missed out on the Black Top Kessler that was posted here on BOL about a week ago. I am looking for a BX or freeride board @165cm, with modern camber technology including decambered nose & tail, flex to accommodate 175lbs, waist width around 25.5-26.5 to fit 10.5 sized boots, able to ride, preferably without risers, but will consider boards with narrower waist depending on what it is. I'm open to either metal or glass construction. I'm looking for either some of the true BX boards like Kessler, SG, Oxess or Donek Saber, or freeride boards like Prior MFR Wide with Hybrid Rocker, or some of the recent offerings from F2. Please drop me a line if you have anything that you're trying to find a new home as the season is nearing an end. Thanks!! goro grock555 at gmail dot com PS: Also open to an ATV or something @165-170 with 23cm waist....

Hey Matt: Payment should arrive today via USPS. I'll PM the tracking info to you. Can you drop me a line to confirm when you receive it? Thanks!

Would love to see pic as well. If you can't post them, can you send them to grock555 at gmail dot com? Thanks!

Interested, please check e-mail. Please send shipping estimate to 21240 and paypal amount and info to: grock555 at gmail dot com Thanks! Goro

Received the board today!! Woo hoo!! Excellent packing job, and the board is in as great of condition as you described!!! Can't wait for snow next season!!! Thanks again!!!

Bob: Thanks for the link! I was posting to see how the Saber rode from a recreational rider's perspective. Greg: Thanks for the input! I read the earlier posts, and just wanted to see if anyone had taken delivery and had a chance to ride the Sabers in production. I appreciate the comparison with the Reto, as that was my soft boot carver, until I sold it last week. (And I actually sold all of my boards, so I'm boardless until the Coiler gets delivered! ) I'll definitely contact Sean when I get my finances in order to see if the Saber would be a good fit, or if he can do an Incline with a de-cambered nose & tail! Cheers!

I was just curious: has anyone bought and/or ridden a Donek Saber this past season. I know that there was a thread regarding this topic back in November, (http://bit.ly/dCTNbS) but I was wondering if anyone has any up to date feedback on the Saber. Thanks!

Thanks Nekdut for a referral! The Reto has found a new home here on Bomber, and is headed out to the west coast!

Reto Lamm: http://bit.ly/b46bka Capita: http://bit.ly/czVUCK I'll be happy to pull them off of Flea-bay, so if you're interested, please drop me a line. Thanks! Goro
