  1. Can I start with a metal V-O Sidecarve? Once you're done with it I'm most interested in trying out the Edge. Never been on a skwall so I'm probably asking to eat it hard lol. I've got a skier friend coming along so he might be interested in trying out a monoboard or skis if you have them too.

    What time do you get to Ch 2?

  2. Any tips are appreciated no matter how inarticulate. We'll figure it out somehow :)

    As I see it:

    1) Find shorter board with smaller radius.

    2) Proceed to bunny slope.

    3) Swallow pride.

    I suppose #3 could proceed #1 and/or #2 :freak3:

  3. I will be there!

    Except I'm teaching some kids :mad:

    I'm bringing lunch on the hill to stuff my face so I can charge during lunch hour. I might be on hardboots and an Arbor A-frame. Too scared to take the Coiler after the core shot on Goldrush last year :mad:

  4. Okay, just completed 5 days on my new board in Colorado. Overall, I'm disappointed. The board is simply not damp and beat the **** out of me on choppy snow. Part of me thinks this is due to me using Burton C02 bindings because a lot of people have remarked the board soaks up chop well, etc.

    In powder, the nose works awesome and the board pivots very well on steep terrain. It carves well on groomers and the big sidecut is a lot of fun.

    I am thinking of a couple of different approaches to help with dampness- either try a pair of Burton P1 bindings or add a layer of rubber or something under my bindings.

    I just picked up an A-Frame 162 to use for the rest of thisseason but I'm hoping to find a used one next season. Do you plan on keeping the Flagship? :)

  5. All my friends like to bomb down in what you define as a straight line. They go really fast and I always say they got some cajones to do what they do. They don't try to convince me to bomb and I don't try to convince them to rail. Our friendships have lasted this way :biggthump

    The masses just aren't use to seeing carvers take up the hill. There's no doubt that people behind you should make adjustments but personally I don't trust someone else to do that. I try to carve defensively and so far have avoided collisions *knock on wood*.
