You know I was under the impression that it would have ptex 5000, but they did not make any indication of this from the email. They just said it would be the classic Madd construction that retails for $800. I sure hope it is ptex 5000 though =).

Its a $100 deposit by tomorrow to reserve your board. The total price is $500, or $540 with a full grind+tune, and $20 for shipping. The 170 and 158 are the same price and delivery is supposed to be midsummer. They need 25 orders of each type to do a production run. I sure hope enough of us have placed our order. =) The other Madd thread has links to paypal in your deposit.

Aww man. I already have my order down for a 170, but im REAL tempted to also get a 158. Someone stop me! :D

Where can we find a decent stone grinder in So cal? I'd do it myself, but Wintersteigers are a bit expensive =)

Steve, Thanks for the reply. I may be a bit too large for the board (170lbs), but I'll give it a try this weekend =). Do you (or anyone) have the specs for it? thanks again, Neil

I was planning on it, but my lodging fell through. I'll let you know if that changes =).

Hi all, I'm looking for a few minor Burton binding parts. First, I need the setscrew that positions the toe bales, two of these. Also I'm looking for a 3hole burton disk, preferably the cant shifted version, but regular will do fine too. I'm sure someone has these parts lying around from a broken pair of carriers/race places. Let me know! =) Thanks!! -Neil

I have a 2001 UP 164. In very good shape. I can take pictures if you're interested. Let me know.

Does anyone have the specs on this board? How do you like it? Can it do bumps, trees and powder reasonably well? How well does it hold an edge? thanks, neil

I was up there on sunday, and man, it sure was WARM. Slush is so forgiving though. I was over by 15 for most of the day and I think I saw two carvers ripping it up on that side of the mtn. Was it anyone in this thread? Oh, and Ray.. looks like we might get some fresh this coming weekend. Cross your fingers! :D

Dave, Check out the Burton Driver with the RAF insert. Thats a pretty stiff softboot.

Hey there, I'll probably be there on sunday. Not sure which mtn I'm going to do though.

John, Are these the new new batch of boards or the demo fleet that was available at ECES? Whats the breakdown of # of 158s vs 170s? Or are these the ones that you or Shaggy will be taking deposits for? Inquiring minds want to know =) Hope you're healing up well.

Tim, I wasn't able to email you through this board. If you aren't already giving the bindings to Marc, I'd like to take em off your hands. We could probably meet up at Mammoth/June sometime. When are you heading up next? Thanks! -Neil

Bumpity bump...

Interested. Email sent! thanks

I think I'm adequately pressuring the nose with the switch to a 6deg disk. Regarding placement along the running lenth, I believe I'm centered, or maybe a smidge forward of center. I'll play with this position a bit, but its a bit difficult since burton uses their stupid 3d hole pattern. jp1: I'm 5'10, 170. inseam 31. I'm actually moving the other direction. I think i started at around 21" and now I'm near 19.75. I'm thinking of going a little narrower. Do you think this is a bad idea? Regarding walk/ride mode, I'm running locked at 3 in front, and the dial turned in the rear.

oldsnowboards: thanks for offering, but ethan has bumpers :) 3 for 6 pending. 0 still needed =)

So I ran 6rear, 3 front with a 19.75" stance. That made a big difference. My toe and heelsides were much more symmetric and I had a lot more confidence diving into turns. I'm still having a fair amount of rear leg burn so I'm going to try to try running 0 in the front. That said, anyone want to trade a 3deg+bumpers for a 0+bumpers? :D

Hey all, Does anyone want to trade a 3deg disk + bumpers for 0s or 6s? I have 2 disks, looking to trade both. Let me know! Thanks! -Neil

Hey all, I'm looking for a low end pair of bindings to get my girl started in hardboots. Nothing fancy. Let me know what you guys have! Thanks! -Neil

brodster: im running 60f 55r. Someone suggested I try 65/65 to help with my heelsides. I'm running 3deg disks front and rear. I have a 6deg disk on the way and I'm going to give that a try this weekend. My stance width is 19-19.5 depending on the board. I'm going to try to get myself video'ed this weekend to see how badly my ass is hanging outside of the board. Thans for the suggestions =)

philw, I'm having the same heelside issues that people are discussing in the heelside threads but I'm working on it. I'll try both your locked max/min lean suggestion and jaggers locked/unlocked suggestion and see if that helps. Thanks for the input =)

25 is a nice area. Usually quite empty, the top portion is a bit to steep and bumpy for me to carve though. Some of the side runs of 15 are great: bridges and christmas tree. Empty and a good pitch for carving. The backside (13,14) is nice when they groom out there. Emtpy too. I usually dislike coming down stump alley, broadway or anything towards canyon lodge. WAAY to crowded.

There's a good chance I'll be there this weekend and the next too. I'll try to meet up with you guys at stump alley.
