  1. If the sender did not claim the fund, you can cancel the payment. Otherwise, you can open a dispute.
  2. Can take a long time unless one uses couriers such as fedex, ups which takes between 4-12 days but blimming expensive. Wish you luck mate.
  3. I am interested, and sent you PM. Thank you :)
  4. Thanks Bryan! Pat, unless the plate somehow makes base and edge invincible... SunSurfer, hopefully high noon express and jumbo t-bar will open soon. Parkland chair isn't that great for carving. Might have to go there in late sep for the instructor course... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Really bad season. A lot of main commercial resorts (not sure NZ ski fields deserve such term) had to delay opening. Mt Hutt received 20cm snow in 2 weeks, lots of rocks, sent two of my boards for repair and base grind. Some Australian resorts got 2m of snow this week. This is because some Strayan resorts such as Thredbo rely on northerlies for snow (I think) while all NZ snow fields rely on southerlies, and in June this year NZ had warm northerlies mostly. Methven has been surprisingly warm which pleased farmers but not skiers. Temperature is cold so resorts have been doing hard out making snow but not enough to cover rocks even on main groomed trails. Eventually things will pick up, say couple of weeks, but weather forecast doesn't look good. Bad season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Nah, already melting, at least on Mt Hutt. And very warm now. We had snow every 2 week since Jan so nothing new. I wonder how Mt Hutt is gonna manage to open on the 7th of June. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Hi I got the info from their website: www.excarving.com It's written in Korean though. Also another thing is that the board doesn't seem to perform as good as swoard on soft snow but better than swoard on icy snow. Stiffer flex than Swoard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Apparently it is much less "turny" than swoard, likes to go straight (apparently it has a love affair with fences) so one needs to maximize inclination. Koreans, on their video, don't seem to utilize "push-pull" movement much, focusing on rotational movement. Grip should be ok, if it can be used in blimming icy Korean ski fields.... So... Even more style/technique oriented than swoard.
  9. I'll take it if you don't mind. Do you accept paypal (I pay transaction fee, of course)?
  10. Or Straya. USD $110 per day on bloody icy or man-made snow... In NZ, I've heard in 2012 Mt Hutt made a million dollar loss in lift/grooming operation but 2 million dollar profit on food and instruction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Not so durable... But then rope tow is really hard on gloves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Sorry it was an April fools day joke... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  14. Well i have firearms and if my gf wants them out i'd store them in other places... BobD is absolutely right firearms are much more likely to be used in domestic violence than in self-defence. Maybe she has anxiety towards firearms... And anxiety is almost impossible to beat. And my lecturer used to say never argue with women! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I suppose one can apply some form of adhesives at the bottom of e-pads... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. At the moment, virus terminator II 165. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Good pop, really good edge hold on various conditions, nimble, nose never dives on moguls or powder. Short or long radius turns no problem. In overall, fun. Pricy, though. I use F2 Intec Ti with UPZ RC10 25.5, 60/55 with cant/lift on both feet.
  18. I love my 11/12 Tanker Reverse Camber 172cm that I bought straight from rad air. Nose never dives no matter what I do, even with huge amount of forward weight shift. Carves fairly OK. Surprisingly light. Durability is OK. Stable on landing. Flex-wise it's betwen burton 7 and 8. Sidecut radius is 11m but the board is surprisingly turny. Due to length it seems fairly unwieldy on mogul field but it's such a joy to ride on open powder. A perfect board for heli-boarding.
  19. Am keen.Do you still have one left? Shipping to Portland OR 97203? Thanks!
  20. "Ask not only what you can do for your country--ask what your country can do for you" But Korea? No way, the country's lost Victor An to Russia because the association pissed him off. Korea's worse than USSA! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Personally I'd give the argument which says that softboots can be as good as hardboots in carving on steeper and icier terrain more credit if any softbooter win bronze at PGS/PS olympic events. There is no doubt that softboots are better in powder, slopestyle, BX and half pipes... And hardboot equipments are better at race carving and carving in general. It's not about being an elitist, it's about merely stating a fact. For example if someone says "hardbooters can be as good as softbooters in half pipes and BX" I'd say "Yeah right mate who wins in Olympics?" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. It's keeping upper body (head to waist) in line with sagittal plane in the middle of the board, as shown. image sources: http://yourpathpersonaltraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Planes-of-Motion.jpg http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/oo343/crumblehop/CoolSnowboard.jpg
  23. Looks like one needs a pair (or two) of full tilt top/medium cables and welding or brazing... Another option might be to use small buckle (the lowest one) and large clasp in the middle? Looks like by using the buckle that is about a centimetre shorter in the middle one can avoid damaging middle buckle too much? And no need for metalwork...
