  1. Do not go 90* cant in such huge increments. You're going to break legs at hips ;) Seriously? 0-6 degrees would work fine... but what would I know these days? :D
  2. Wait until you get married... you will be carving your slippers down your stairs :D
  3. Yes. We have seen this in automotive sports. Some novices got their proper Subarus, Evos and Corvettes. Some of them even got feel and smell of concrete wall or armco rails at speeds;) They were generous and smart guys... not like some idiots with "less proper cars"... who eventually beat crap out of them ;) Having that said I would guess that some "proper" elements might be in place while others are not. I consider for myself (restarting carving after 6 years of break) one of those new binding plates... but on older board with older boots and Bomber TD1' that I still enjoyed last Wednesday on slope. ... and yes it is about $$$ Have good runs.
  4. I need one binding and it would be left one ;)
  5. Wow... you remember my old problem. Yes, I had that, but many years ago I switched to AF700 so I still use them. Problem gone (although I customized those boots because my back foot needs more movement and flex than RAB gave me... so I put mechanism from old Raichles ;) Kent is great guy. He knows this stuff very well. We had some "on-and-offs" here and there, but it does not matter to me. I would talk with him and everybody I met here with pleasure. I even do not hold anything for Boardy anymore :D Have good runs!
  6. Actually you can mount it to any pole. You just need to use car roll bar or racing cage mount to hold it to the pole. It can be purchased online. That's what we do in automotive comp. on track with GoPro... or many times on fender or on windshield with suction cup ;) And yes you guys need to use 1080 mode. It gives really nice results, but it also depends on what you are shooting for :)
  7. :D We have ridden Zero-G with GS gates around 2000/01 in the evenings. You had to "round" your turns really tight on longer boards and rutted trail ;)
  8. I am the same weight as I was before... just two inches thinner in my waist and two inches bigger in my chest :) I do not give up with age. I plan to live forever ;)
  9. Thanks for warm welcome, Chris.
  10. I know, buddy:) I took a glimpse here on BOL and I was shocked what happend during my absence from the sport. I cannot afford it anymore:eek: Okay I spent money on cars mods for comp. now. I will think of getting new TD3, some titanal board and maybe that lovely Boiler plates plus new boots some time in the future when I feel that I am ready. So the war of mount patterns between 3D and 4x4 is over now and we go UMP (or UPM) ?
  11. Almost like this... but not really :) Now I am fit better than I ever was (definitely better than I was 6-10 years ago). The trick is that I do a lot of physical workout (yes after work at office IT in some bank). This has been going for quite some time and I need it to be fit for automotive competition that I have been doing for last five years (going national level next year:) One thinks that one does not need it for driving an autocross or race car. Wrong idea. It is really demanding physically and mentally. It took me a few years to get into shape and compete in different... whatever. Damn I need new clothing for snowboarding now But I was missing snowboard. I think I still love it. I do not care what board or what super-duper plates or "suspension system" I might be now. Just pure love to the sport
  12. Now this will be interesting first time after six years not using this stuff :) Have good runs.
  13. After six years of break in snowboarding I dusted off boards, lubricated bindings with Bomber grease, spread some teflon/wax on topsheet and some dry wax on base. We are headed with my wife to Windham, NY tomorrow. Let's see what legs remember ;) Have good runs ;)
  14. I drool when I see Miata... even though I own one. Every Miata should be mine especially those with turbo or Vette engine ;)
  15. Jack, You mean the forum or snowboarding in general? ;) Yes I have to ask. I still need that confirmation from folks who stick around snowboarding. In addition, it is part of your fault that I am asking and thinking about modern gear. You should not write review for new snowboards so well :D
