  1. great! thanks, i assumed they would have a similar fitment. now if it would only snow!!!!!
  2. Im looking to try skiing this year and i love the way head stratos pros fit. Do the head ski boots fit the same? Im asking cause ive got wide feet and im f inding great deals on some head gear... Any imput????
  3. you may want to email corbetts.com my bag has wheels i didnt see it on the RC site it may be discontinued specs on mine are 200*37*18 wheelie bag
  4. my 4wd is a big part of my quiver. especially when things get choppy. it lives upto its name. never had it in the trees but i hear its good in there, i have very little trouble in icy conditions loved it out west on vacations. check the reviews there might be something in there. happy carving!
  5. i got mine im there all the time. i usually get my moneys worth in the first 2 weeks. im the guy whos falling hard cant miss me.
  6. http://www.rcpower.com/index.php i got my bag from them i can put upto 200cm board. last trip i took 3 boards with lots of insulation wrapped around them. i purchased it from corbetts with there branding but its an RC bag lot cheaper than a dakine concouse which would be my next suggestion
  7. maybe kenmark can get them ordered in, i got mine there a few years ago.
  8. i think ill pass on that bit too small thanks
  9. well i nuked the base on my 163 volkl soo id like something similar.. 9.5-10.5 ish radius, let me know what you got
  10. kenmark snow sports in richmond hill at yonge and elgin mills , sporting life ( they also have an online shop) yonge and eglinton and up top ski shop in newmarket,, never been there but its at yonge mullock i believe hop ethat helps
  11. go early... i usually see something there for boards rerely ever anything for boots and bindings, although i did grab my volkl with td2s for 325 so deals do sometimes come around best of luck!
  12. ive got a thule mountaineer on my 98 4 door golf i can hold a 200cm board no problem and up to 4 on alpine decks with neurotic packaging more if you can get creative its big for the car but Ive noticed minimal fuel economy loss... maybe a 5 bucks on a tank.
  13. this was just the thread i was looking for! QUESTION: how much processor will i need to edit in HD and what program are you guys running? im looking at a goproHD. my computer is only a P4... should i be concidering some sort of beowulf set up???
  14. ok well whats good for food during a ride, i currently just use hammer gel and water. maybe the odd power bar. im also trying to drop a few pounds, so im trying to run a bit of deficit. 570 miles? thats nuts! Typically, 6 reps x 4 mins is the gold standard. If you're a power junkie, you'll do these reps at 125% of your FTP (one hour power). what do you mean by that.? 6 reps of weight training? x 4min?.. ill assume FTP is a your max?
  15. ya thats what i was thinking , i just didnt want to admit to it.
  16. there are a few iron man events around but im not sure how far they swim but im sure id need a looooooong time to get there. its been years since ive gone swimming, i view the ironman events as something that id have to obsess over, just seems to require more training than im willing to commit to. hope that makes sence... it is inspiring to see 50 and 60 year olds do that. talk about motivational. for some reason i think its 20km swim, and run and a 40km ride???.. im basing that on a foggy memory of tv broadcasts gone by.
  17. your thinking of the toronto donut ride from scarbourough to oak ridges, i see them when im out on a ride. i cant ever seem to time it right, they pass with in a few km of my house. some pretty fast riders in there.. i do work weekends more often then not unfortunity. id say this year has been a bit of a stall year. no progress. im not really worried about bike fit, i was on my bike for 4 hrs sunday , no pain anywhere, well... the saddle does begin to get a bit tender. id say i ride at least 4 days a week, this was a good week for me. i just finished 402 km. so im out of comission for a couple i think fatigue is setting in. oh and i did try a time trial on sunday sort of i had to modify the time by a couple of minutes for traffic lights and stop signs, i did 40 km in one hour 10 min. so i know have a baseline to go from i guess. lol i just picked up that book on the weekend actually. i took a quick read through it, it seems kinda complicated.
  18. it does feel like torture sometimes , but i still enjoy it regarless. maybe recovery is more a conditioning thing than a dietary thing and i just have to be patient, but i d like to be able to do a back to back century
  19. i was concidering that. but i was reading up on that appearently it affects how fast you can pedal. longer the stroke less rpm and the longer your in the peadal stroke the more you use up your reserves. i dont know if im actually at a point where i need to worry about such finite things but i am only 5'7 with a small inseem i think im more suited to higher cadence riding.
  20. first , yes on the same bike its nothing special only a carbon fork everything else is aluminum, triple upfront which i really need to change.... as for the time trial bars i got a set with the pads there ok , take some getting use to... love them on windy days. ill look into the ones with the flip up pads sounds pretty cool. my only problem with the TT bars is it put me in an uncomfortable seated position. and finally , I wish i had a power meter!! there big dollars that should go to a better bike. i ride on hilly terrain,well, as hilly as ontario gets anyway and try to stay on my higher gears . ive heard its an easier way to work on anarobic side of things. ill look into that interval training thanks !
  21. so if seems ive a bit of a wall, i ride about 200-250 km a week, and i cant seem to get a higher avg speed than 30km/hr over mixed terrain. any tips to get an avg of close to 40km/hr. and would focusing on strength training be a priority? i think i spin high enough i avg 90-95 over every ride i do. also... what are you using for recovery?? im on this stuff from scivision i think .. its called Xtend . its all amino acids seems ok wondering what else is good.
  22. next in line for the fish, do you know the weight rating for it?. im 185 lbs, and do you have any pictures?
