  1. Any chance I can call you or email ? Bill B
  2. Thanks for the replies. What about cork cut in the shape of the E rings and using that under the ring ?
  3. Hi all, does the thickness or rigidity of E rings change with time ? Last season I noticed some play in my connection to the board . I bought new firmer TD2 rings, problem solved . This past weekend I went to try my 2 other boards , all with 2nd board kits and both of them had play that I don't remember last year. Any solutions , considering I can't buy new TD2 E rings right now ? Thanks
  4. I think today I road the best groom ever at jiminy and they had plenty of snow but haven't made any these past few days
  5. I'm not sure you would say I have a particular style except I want to have fun . I guess I'm a fun style. I have been riding at least 25 yrs. Hardboots for 10 . Not a great carver but a good snowboarder. Usually angles at 55 or 60 . After recently reading this thread I dropped my rear foot down to 35 last weekend and left my front at 60 . I rode so much better and felt much more comfortable . So I think I need to work on my pure boarding style
  6. You will see how great it really is when your 20 yr old daughter wants a season pass or when on a spur of the moment she goes further north because the mountain she drove to is closed due to no snow or how she camps on the college ski trip line so she gets a spot on the bus in the morning or when your 17 yr old daughter sees you eyeing an untracked line and jumps in front of you. You will see how good it feels that you gave them the same thing that you have or in my case the same thing that my father gave me.
  7. i am the same weight and size , i have it in the 162 i think. i find it a great all mountain board. i usually pick it over my carver
  8. in the mid 80's i skied on the dos eqius pro mogul tour in colorado, won some contests later in vt. and just loved bumps. as i migrated to boarding i still loved the bumps on my board, but my mid 40's body has difficulty with bumps,thats why i moved towards carving. but i still try them. my 12 yr old daughter is following in my bump fetish and can get thru them with style. if bump/boarding comps come back she will be shoe in.
  9. i picked up f2 speedcross earlier this season and it is my all mountain board. bumps, crud , powder, human slalom. inexpensive from the house
  10. conditions were awsome yesterday and today. 6 inches of new snow today. should be good and packed by sunday. have fun
  11. Dave , on behalf of the berkshires hard booters ,thanks for arranging this(notice i said hardbooters ,not carvers, i dont consider myself a carver yet) unfortunatly i wont be able to attend but i will be at the mountain thurs and fri with my older girls getting one last shot in for the season.i will post a conditions report friday to get all the carvers fired up, also good luck with the new job, we will have to check the new place out. Bill
  12. bricky, we met last year at mac tracks , hope all is well. i was thinking of trying bellaeyre this thurs or fri with my kids. how are the conditions this late. we typically ride at jiminy and love it , i basically grew up there . we stay at my parents but i would like to find my own mt. that is a little more affordable,ie realestate, tickets, and closer to home . i see you have been giving it alot of good press , Bill
