    Big difference between Vancouver, WA and Vancouver, BC as far as house prices go ...

    Congrats Bryan! Hope it works out for you!

    I am guessing it is allot higher??? 

    I am excited about the house.  It is a bit funky but it is going to be a nice place and I may already have a renter before even listing it!!! 

    I have a 5th wheel camper I might put in the back portion of the yard after I put in a fence about half way back (big yard)   Laws are changing to provide "Infill" and perhaps some day I can put a tiny house back there for guests??

    Decking in place,  Chance holds down the center while I get more screws!  He thinks it is fine!  

    Next fenders, edges, hold downs, jack and wiring.

    Oh, the irony Dan.   My "Trailer" is now stacked four feet high with the remnants of a snowboard company. 

    On the other hand I just got the keys to this house and would love to do something in the Air BNB type Theme house style. 

    "House of Oldsnowboards" sort of thing.   I don't think I have the time to do it right now but maybe down the road. Currently it 

    is about getting it rented to help pay the loan payments.    http://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/23237866_zpid/globalrelevanceex_sort/45.631792,-122.633646,45.629774,-122.637294_rect/17_zm/?view=public

    Anyone want to be my neighbor?    1400$ per month is what I hope to get but I may have to settle for less.   It is a pretty cool but small home.  HUGE yard!!. 

     

  3. Great review!!   I just shipped off another SW last week, anxious to hear back on his feelings on it.   I don't EC but I like the feel of the SW ,  the fact that it is burly and not a small sidecut fits in with my style / weight.    I have one what I use for converts wanting to try alpine that are strong freestyle riders of considerable size and weight.   So far they RIP the SW well.   Then I put them on a narrow race board and see how they do!!

    So I love this board for charging the fall line, the 12m sidecut feels big so it needs some real estate and speed to lay over ec but the edge hold goes on forever. The 8m scr on my nideckers is way more playful for narrow groomers and rocking the bumps.

    The steepwater at 167 feels short when getting on the nose and long when on the tail, 20in. is the tightest I can get the stance which on a 175 would be fine, alonger version would be awesome.

    I have a very special deal for you Boardski!!  Email me sir!

    Put that URL into translate.google.com.  Looks interesting but I can't get to the translation at the moment.  

    With some modifications I think this is a valid concept.    I would lower it,  probably turn one of the leaf springs around and incorporate a "Sliding Mount" to one end.  Thinner plate, probably without a slit in it to start.   Definitely too much leverage against a soft boot set up.   I think this has some validity.  

  6. Well said Corey and Sun Surfer!!!     So early season I decided to use another board to make sure I didn't damage my favorite Tinkler Alpine board.   After riding around for an hour or so I was getting banged around and decided the conditions looked good enough to get the board that was set up with a full system plate .  It just smoothed it out so well I was back to enjoying the groomers like it was hero snow again!!   It works so well , I am spoiled!!
