Hi Bubba, Still got those race plates? and more importantly, how'd you hit the waterfowl? If you have the plates, what would the shipped price be? Thanks.

Stratton Competitive Snowboard Team run by Al Messler, trains Friday through Sunday, from Thanksgiving all the way to USASA nationals in April. We also train both Christmas and February holidays, 7 days a week. Generally we have somewhere around 20 athletes, ranging from beginners to national champions. Gate training is done mornings, then in afternoons we generally train boardercross or slopestyle. We currently have 6 kids in hardboots (all qualified for nationals) and couple of prospects for next year. Find us on the Statton web site. Go to programs and then look for us under "snowboard competition team". Thanks, and good luck to all at Copper!

Hey Knoch, You sure your'e not from Slippery, Michigan 00000

I'll offer 200. shipped . Don't really need it but for 2 bills I'd take it.

Anyone out there have a set of these that they would be willing to part with!!

2nd in line if you'd be willing to part with the bindings.

bump . still looking

Looking for a Bts. system with blue springs hopefully , but for the right price would buy a set-up and get new springs from bomber. Thanks

Anke, If you are serious about wrist protection then take a good hard look at a company called Allsport Dynamics. I've been looking at and worn many different models from several manufacturers. None come even close to Allsports function or fit. Many pro teams and action sport pros wear them . You will pay more for them, but what is the cost of a broken or injured wrist. Not to mention downtime and rehab. Take a look at there web site allsportdymaics.com. Good luck

Boarder Ted , Thank you for the seamless transaction. Super fast shipping, a real pleasure doing business with you.

Hello , would you be willing to sell a pair of 4-hole discs, and a pair of heel bails?

Bullwings, Thanks for the reply, I'm seeing the Dr. next Monday to discuss all this . My problem is Fibula pain when running of an unexpected stomp (plate and 4 screws). i don't believe the Tibia is any source of the pain (I have the same rod setup), but your comment on rebreak scares the hell out of me. I just can't seem to act my age and get away from snowboarding or dirtbikes or just plain old stress relieving activities. My wife is horrified , and my son is faster than me. Don't care for either scenarios. Hope you don't mind but I'll probably be asking more questions. Thanks Again:cool:

Hey bullwings, I have had a similar a similar break and am currently making appointments with the Doc. to have a plate taken off of my Fibular. ( because of pain) I was thinking about leaving the rod in the Tib. because it does not seam to bother me . What is you projected rehab? Crutches? snowboarding this December? Thanks for the thread . Love to hear what your thoughts are.

Hello All, I'm looking for and old article about foot position and mechanics of an alpine turn that was posted last year. I believe it was written by Jack Michaud. It gave several variations of turns . (over under, toe lift ???) Thanks

He's in the Stratton competetive snowboard program. Started out at the very end of last season on hardboots and took to to it right off and liked it so here we go!

:) Thanks Everyone , he has several coaches on his team , 2 or 3 that are alpine racers . I was just trying to set his board up at home to get him started . the coaches can tweak the adjustments. I have not been able to sit down w/the coaches yet as the season just started and his first day was last Saturday. So i turned to you guys for some preliminary advice and knowledge. S.S.Dad ;)

:o XX , Great advice! thanks , what's your opinion on rear foot cant Ihave a complete Burton plate system with the harware and plastic lift( wedge) You always there to save the uninformed? S.S.Dad

Hello , I'm setting up my sons slalom board for the new season. (tomahawk 160 , Burton plates). I'd really apprecatiate what you folks think are good binding angles to start with. ( front and rear foot) He's 14 and about 140 Lbs. and just got his feet wet last year in hard boots. What about heel lift on the back foot ?? Do the angles change when you switch to a GS.board?? Ya I know , I don't know nothing!!!!! S.S.Dad:confused:

Thanks for the info guys. Will do.

Hello , Can anyone help me with the sidecut radius spec for a 160 tomahawk sl board ? It was given to us by a member of the US Snowboard team. I believe it is 1-2 years old. I contacted Sigi (US) and they were not much help. Don't want to ask the previous owner (gift horse in the mouth thing!!) Thanks S.S.Dad

Any advice on what finish to use ,maybe" spar "varnish (marine) ,and what about a product for traction on top of the board without absolutely ruining the character of the finished wood. All advise is appreciated, I have the woodworking thing down, just don't know anything about skate boards. Thankyou

Hey XXguitarist , I'd love to pick your brain some more but I have to get out of here (work ) Still 2 hours from home. If i get a chance I'll get online tonight and try to ring you up . Yes vert. lams. of multiple hardwoods that i have in the barn and waiting for a project. Thanks again

Thanks for the reply . i hav'nt made the board yet I plan on making it somewhere in the vicinity of 36"-40". As far as flex, i plan on milling it (surface planer)untill I feel the flex that I feel will be correct for a light rider (currently 140 Lbs. As far as width somewhere around 8". All advice is appreciated never built one , just thought it would be a cool present and one of a kind. Thanks S.S.Dad

Hello, I'm looking for advice on wheels and trucks for a long board that I am making for my son. I am not looking for race, (hp) state of the art set up. What i'd like is some good quality equipment to put on a home made wooden deck, so he can rip around in the summer time. X-mas is coming ,and I need to get all the goods so that i can assemble. Also the name of the shop or mail order where I can purchase. Thank you S.S. Dad

To all concerned I just received a 171 prior wcr from Powercarver. The board was as advertised ,and in great shape. Powercarver is a reputable guy and a pleasure to deal with. seamless transaction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
