  1. i was struggling with the same issues, and i only spent around 500 and i got everything i needed. but i think you must consider down time. i only have a few boards in my quiver, so i don't always have a proper back up board. and the local shops here are backed up for a couple days sometimes, some don't do work on weekends. so for me, to do the work which really doesn't take that much time its worth it. The tools pay themselves off eventually.

  2. thanks for the advice everyone, i think ill keep my eyes open for a fish.... possibly an osin .. theres just not enough snow around here to buy brand new coiler i get out west once maybe twice a year, so id like to have a proper board for the job. the group i was with said there were pockets in the trees that were never touched, and plenty deep..... man i need to move out west., theres 70 cm of man made snow here, and visible grass on my lawn :(.

  3. ive just recently returned from Big White... had a blast even though couldnt see the chair in front of me most of the time. i was riding my 178 4wd prior mostly due to poor visibility, and i tried going in the trees ... what a disaster that was! i got stuck and had to walk out, and when i did i went waist deep in powder. i was wondering what the general idea was towards riding in the trees? i brought a 163 but its only 19 cm wide and didnt think i would be able get through it.

    is it easier to use a softboot set up on a short board?/skiis? ..or do i need to expand my quiver? im refering to riding in fairly tight trees.... not the wide open trees approaching the tree line

  4. its impossible to find a good source for good house/trance. so far the best source ive found is beatport.com and dancedepartment podcasts.

    i ve found any Armin van buuren state of trance cds are topps. with Ministry of sound in at second. and BBC Radiio 1 mixes at a very close third

    but for tunes....

    1) man on the run (nic chagall remix )- dash berlin with cerf its a wicked track and 20 min long for those days when your in the groove

    2)morgan page- the longest road (deadmou5 remix)

    3)armin van buuren & Dj shah feat chris jones- going wrong

    4)southern sun (tiesto mix) - paul oakenfold

    5) stardust - music sounds better with you. the beat is hypnotic

  5. has anyone had any experience with the graphite moly flouro base wax? can it be mixed with a CH wax? im looking to grab some wax to start doing my own tuning/waxing, and i cant seem to find a definite answer through a serch here or on tognar. swix says i can use it by itself or a base for cera powders. nothing about a CH or Fluoro overlays. tongar hinted about the dominator version working . as for conditions it will be used in , -2 , -8 range and mostly dry with man made snow

    any help would be great
