The best time. ;)

Mmmmm buzzy groom.

And rockered noses kick ass! :D

Funny, I find the rocket ships to be a million times more fun in chop. Scary, but when you get up to speed it's a smoother ride. I don't want to admit it, but it might be like the trick of driving really fast over washboard road.

You're bound to break any number of things including yourself riding like that. And I think it feels terrible when you experience chatter..

The topsheet plastic does not bond very well. It just chips off the epoxy.

Never seen a Burton Speed without a shredded topsheet. It's not structural, just let it keep doing its thing.

Booze for the kids that can't buy their own.

My mistake, thanks for finding that! Says some crazy Austrian I met on Mount Baldy...(I wish more stories started like that) The pivot is exactly where your ankle pivots, so the flex is all dictated by the spring mechanism. The plastic itself is brutally stiff on the yellow models. He had Kessler stickers on his helmet, and dragged his hips railing on tele gear, and spoke remarkably broken English, so I'll have to take his word for it.

That's the case for a rockered nose- you have to pressure forward to keep the edge running, but you don't want to die in a soft pile.

Mr. Tinkler made CF Burton Fire cuffs for a racer a while ago.

That is weird- what kind of board is this? You can see the "zipper" on the edge has supported the material, but not between

I don't know where you are getting the stiffness from. In fact, having ridden both the stock SG GS and SL boards from the same year, the 185 and 163, the 163 felt stiffer because it would not turn on the tail- I think it must be for more snap out of the turn. With a GS board, you can find a wide blue and lay it over 45* and do hero carves at mach bro, and never worry about the pressure building too much at the bottom of the turn, never worry about outrunning the sidecut, and never worry about the nose darting off the moment you change edges. Not that I feel there is anything wrong with riding in such a manner, but it's not my preference, and I don't think it's very versatile.

I really like the slalom stuff for doing wheelies down hard steeps all day long, but the GS boards are so much easier to be lazy on, I end up falling in love. I think it's probably still GS board majority on BOL. FWIW, even at Wildcat on the east coast which seems to be pretty bad on the stereotypical east coast narrow-trail scale, my 15.5 board fit down pretty much everything.

Lol, lots of NSFW on that site.. Gotta love the snow reaching toeside pictures. Thanks for sharing though, awesome video.

:lol: Sounds like what happens when you only brush! ;)

I think it was either Sigi or Karl who did that. I saved it on my DVR so I'll have to go back and see. Either way, both were heelside hookups that went all wrong.

My liners inadvertently end up burning all that hair off my shins the first day of the season..

I took the Hawk. :)

email sent again.

Email sent regarding the tommy..

Kryptons or Dalbello Voodoo/Blender boots are also quite good and wider in the last.

I had red springs, yes. I'm sure I just bottomed out the coils on the heelside spring because I landed in the backseat. Keep in mind the damage on mine is nothing compared to what's pictured.

+1 Nothing else comes close to capturing everyones attention..

I did that this season too. Except I was in the park. :o Mine didn't split in two though, I just have a "tear" running around the threads in the same place. 25 foot kickers and TD2s aren't exactly easy on boots.
