  2. AIL "Alpine Injured List"

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    I thought I sprained my ankle last spring riding at Alpine Meadows when I hyper flexed it until I got this x-ray. This is on my right (front) ankle so I think it helps me lock in my toe side turns. Getting the spur removed next week so now my toe side turns will probably suck as bad as my heel side turns.post-6992-141842371304_thumb.jpg

    YEP!

    Season over for me, just saw on the lovey site they are closing this weekend, and I cannot make it up. I hope we have better snow next year. Summer BBQ @ West Denver Place July 21, mark your calenders!

    Today was quite good considering that the temp was 52 at 9am. It was 60 when I left at 11:30. Tomorrow may be the last sunny day of the season so I will ride again tomorrow. The snow was better than Sunday, so my guess is that tomorrow will be decent. Hope to see some hardbooters there.

    A nice cool day for solo carving at Lovey. An inch or two of new over a nice firm groom. Firecut, Roulette and Chets (under 8) were nicely groomed. Two fun boards to ride. Should be more fun tomorrow with Tony and Kevin to ride with.

  10. Using different liners in UPZ RC-10

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Got the Scarpa liners today from Gear X and the Mondo 30 actually fit in my 27.5 shells after cooking. Feel great. $29.99 for the liners, $20 for shipping and $23 for UPS to get them over the border. :eek: Canadians, buy 2.

    I bought the same as above but am afraid to cook them. Do they really shrink that much as they are way too big to fit the way they are? Please assure me that they will fit before I cook them. Thanks,

  14. For those who left Deeluxx/Raichle boots

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    After about 10 years on Raichle AF 600's with blue bts, I bought a pair of UPZ 10's, the grey Virus edition. The Raichle's were getting really soft. Tried on the head's, but they were too wide. Last spring I tried the UPZ's with the factory liner-not good. Too much heel lift, shin bang and presure points. Over the summer I cooked my old Raichle themofit liners (already packed out) and put them in. Have ridden on them 5 days this fall with no pain and great performance. I was having some issues with my heelside turns with the old boots. Heelside turns are good now. Like DT, I visited my friend Bola at All Board Sports in Boulder. Boots really need to be tried on before purchase.

  18. Hot Rod Race Wax Reviews

    in Accessories Reviews

    Posted

    I tested the Plum wax at Loveland last week. I was glad that my new boots have good treads because you need it to slow down in the lift maze and when getting off the lift. This wax was very fast across the flats. Using the mytracks on my phone, I hit 49.3 mph on Home Run near the bottom.

    The temperature started at 14F and warmed to 23F. At these temps the regular HHRW would run fine, but so did this warmer plum wax. I hope to test the upper range of the wax tomorrow. Thanks Tony for the chance to test another great wax.

    We picked an excellent day for our first day this season. With the 8 inches of new snow from earlier in the week, which was nicely groomed, the mid-winter snow condtions were really good. After a few hours, it got a little cut up (wonder why?) and it was time for lunch. Anyway, it was great riding with you guys again.

    Thanks Mario and Phylis,

    Great BBQ as always. It was nice to see the LCI gang in the summer. I thought it was hot in Denver until I arrived in Iowa City today. 100 degrees with about the same humidity.

  24. UPZ's or Deeluxe?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    The boots all fit differently. I just purchased a pair of UPZ 10's because they were the best fit for me. I have a pair of Raichle AF600's that are pretty shot. I tried the Head Statos, Deluxe 225, and the UPZ's.

    The Head boots are wider overall. The Deluxe 225's are narrow in the forward part of the foot and wider in the heel. The AF 700's are most likely wider in the fore foot (didn't have my size in these). The UPZ's are narrower in the heel and wider in the fore foot area.

    If possible, try on the boots before buying. I would not buy online without trying them on. I went to All Board Sports in Boulder, CO.
