Newmax

5 months??? I hope to be back on this white cool stuff in about 2.5 months! Please Petrus Please!!

1. Make it to the SES 09 (are there official dates out already?) 2. Win the FreecarvingMasters 09 3. Get a new 192 ride And have a lot of fun again!

Austrian Stiegl :D

Hmmm... somehow after every winterseason, I think "that's been the best! It'll be hard to top that next year!" So this time it's been kind of an "exponential increase" in being great. 67 days on snow, and then the two highlights: our first trip to Aspen for SES 08, meeting sooo many great people there, was in my opinion the best time of my life! And second the season-closing with the Freecarvingmasters! Anothertime with a lot of great alpine-freaks! WOW! :D

Oh.. just found this very interesting Fred here... question: is this the "who dates who" of bomber? Just asking, cause I didn't get over year 2005, and then skipped the rest. :) See you at SES 09! When are the dates by the way?

Yes Thor, please say him best wishes of the three crazy Germans hoping to see him at next SES! How do you say? "Press.ing my thumbs"!?

On Piste: nothing, Europes crowded slopes But in car on my way up the glacierstreet: Me first and the gimme gimmes - I believe I can fly

great pic, Alex! Many thankies to you, Jörg and Mats for judging! Hoping to see all of you and the rest again in the next season! Cheers: Superman

Superman was just trying to copy the King! http://www.pistenschlitzer.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2005

I could try to swap it for say "a great big hug" :D

But it's a Snowboard! Only for you: "SSSnnnooowwwbbboooaaarrrddd" For me, if the Bindingangles are 90°, its a Skwal, but when they're <90°, then its a snowboard! :D Nice pic Ray, but don't tell me too much about Aspen... wanna be there tooooo! Btw: what about Chile?

Sure!

We could also make some DVDs, bring them to SES09 and put them into the "raffles", where I'll never win anything :(

Same for me: Tried a "soft" Afterburner 182 at SES and it was just fun to ride! A great "All in one"-Board, it carves really nicely, its great in powder, and its also easy to "drift" on a mogul run! Loved it as an Allrounder

I don't think that, I know it! And I know, that its likely that next years SES you'll have some more of us arround!

We really have to thank Alex for the editing and lending the cam to us! He did the most work for it! :D Enjoy

Never sold any of my boards, still have all of them (7 sticks)... but riding atm only two of them :D

So, digging out this old thread... I was following the discussion here, and didn'T say anything to the "metaldiscussion" because one thing was true: You can't judge without having been on both! Now after, as some of you might know, I've destroyed my beloved 5 year old Cyborg (stiff and springy) somewhere "offpiste" at SES, I needed a replacement and one thing was for sure: a Cyborg! But now after having seen Ray's metal version (see "Virus Teaser"), I was wondering, if I should get one too. But I didn't know, how metal feels and rides, and this was more important than how it looks. Well, after talking to Ray and Bordy (thanks for your help guys), in the end I ordered the matel version, hearing myself on the phone: " well doesn't matter how metal behaves, as long as it looks as great!" Ok, one week ago, I did my first runs with it and it is great! I did ask for something aggressive, don't like something too much of dampening, as metal is suppoesed to be. I want something jumpy :lol: and Frank did a great job with it! (Thanks here again!). But in addition to that, the ride was in the beginning kind of weird: the sounds it made was reminding me of the metal in it (some kind of loud "metal scratching", never heard anything like that on a Snowboard before), and then the good edgehold everywhere, like with the very soft Cyborgs, I've tried once... just amazing. So to sum up: I was afraid, that it won't be possible to get any new board that would be as great as my old was! But the new one is so much better, I don't know for sure, what's the reason for that (if its the metal, or some other stuff in it or just me ;) ), but one thing is for sure: the improvement, within 5 years even, on one shape is just great! Hope this answers a bit the question on how much better newer boards are, I think they are much better! :D

Glad to hear you're back! So now you can practise some "european" dancing! :lol: I'll test you next SES btw: is the date for the next SES already out somewhere? :D

0815 isn't max, I am :D He is Eric!

Count me in! :D

So the secret is a lot of speed, and then not loosing it on the first meters? Never really made it. In the beginning the turn is much too wide, and then after ~200° I'm stuck

but then his headache gets worse! Trust me, I'm german! :rolleyes:
