  1. 3 strap bindings? skiing in jeans? there's freaks in every corner around here
  2. silly boarder, you need hardboots to ski on a snowboard
  3. I've punched myself in the chest a couple times, but I've done that on skis too. I've run over them with the board a few times causing a fall, no injurys, except to the pole. After decades of use I've learned to keep them out to the sides when riding but still use them like a skier in steeps and moguls. that's on a proteus at NICE that's on a '92 grocer at MCC19 Thirst BX at MCC20 173 Identity at WTF after a stupid fall last year in the offload where I caught the edge as I came to a stop and fell backward and the polestrap on the wrist wrenched my shoulder back; I've since stopped using the wrist straps to prevent injury.
  4. better pack the la nina boards this year hope SVR brings lots of tankers
  5. sorry Jon, the voile has a new home in Idaho
  6. stumbled onto this today, I feel vindicated; http://splitboard.com/poles-not-just-for-the-skintrack/ couple of my own fav points "Growing up with the mid 90’s snowboard scene embedded pretty deep inside, my impressions of poles mixed with snowboarding was, you’d have to be a kook to ride with ski poles in your hands. Over the years and with more and more time in the backcountry, poles have slowly become a fixture in my hands." "As a snowboard guide there is no going down to my knees or sitting in the snow. This is and has always been a huge pet peeve of mine. In the backcountry or in any big mountain setting..." "Aaah but resting on them like skiers do, now there is a definite bonus!!! I now have 20% more energy throughout my day!" 'You will start to look at terrain a bit differently as to what line you can take as a snowboarder. If you do find yourself in a pinch or a bit too low, you have the poles to help you slip out or over something that otherwise would of meant hike or a commitment to something you didn’t really want to ride!" "With poles in my hand I’m constantly feeling the snowpack,,,"
  7. if you want to step out of the skis an into the snowboard the 1* are the schite,if only they were a 27. I have the scarpa, great skiboot, but prefer the deluxe for board, even at twice the weight.

    how long is the viole and do you have the skins?
  12. the only detriment I see is it shifting in the liner
  13. I've cut down insoles to get more volume in the toebox before, if the edge behind the ball of the foot doesn't bother you Saul Goodman
  14. one of my favorite sayings; you may beat me to the bottom but I will have traveled twice as far!!
  15. there's no cursive on my keyboard, must be an oldschool thing
  16. isn't red supposed to be faster? or is that just straight lining two plankers.
  17. that flavor is called zen
  18. we need Monodude and Skwalguy to put on a clinic/demo of skwals in action with explanations of the differences and subtleties. I demoed a thias skwal from the man himself at northstar in '97, I wasn't a very good carver back then and felt like my shoe laces were tied together the whole time. A little instruction would have made a big difference.
  19. planned parenthood for some people, oops more politics. and while we're at it my name for god is wayyyy better than yurs
  20. let's not and stay friends and we thought hard vs soft was a divisive issue
  21. I've got 165 in barely used condition, except for a topsheet chip that has not been epoxied yet. how about $100. the metal edge and ptex are unaffected
