Yes… there will be no further discussion about “My Rack” but I will say imitation is the truest form of flattery. Now if I could only imitate your riding we’d really have something ;>

DR, Bruce built this board for me in 08 and shipped in 09. I will get more photos tonight. -Mark

Coiler metal (turn) Stubby with Ruskola red top sheet (center board in photo)<O:p</O:p Length: 171 <O:p</O:p Radius: 11.5<O:p</O:p Waist: 20.5<O:p</O:p This board has a slightly smaller SCR than the standard Stubby that fits well between SL and GS decks. It has metal construction which provides a nice damp ride. The tip and tail are both decambered helping make turn initiation smooth and easy. It was built for 175 lbs (sidewall numbers are 6.5 + 4.5). It has been ridden for about 20 days and has a fresh $125 PTC tune (1* base 3* side). The base and edges are in very good shape with plenty of structure. The top sheet has two nicks and some lift line scratches and the board is currently protected with storage wax. <O:p</O:p $425 shipped to the lower 48 only SOLD! <O:p</O:p

Iceman, Bomber has a kit to solve the short boot problem you are describing. It’s shorter front bale / cam lever assy. It solved the problem I had with my size 26 UPZs. Give them a call.

Great photos Pat and congratulations on your Nastar national gold! Only you could race in both the snowboard and ski divisions and still manage to take so many great photos. –Can’t wait till next year. -Mark

DrSvend, Good call on the FC. I think it would be hard not to like this board. Ian, I'm realizing that we rode together with Eric B. on Friday morning at ECES. I was the other guy on the stuby with the same topsheet. Glad to hear you liked the FC too. PB

I was lucky enough to demo a new metal Donek Free Carve 171 X 11/13 X 20 at the ECES and I thought it might be helpful to share my impression of the board. <O:p</O:p First, a little about me. I have been riding for about five years and in hard boots for only about a year and a half. I have however, had a chance to ride some high quality boards from Coiler and Kessler and Madd as well as a few not-so-hot mass produced decks. <O:p</O:p I demoed the FC on Friday at ECES at around 1 pm. Conditions that day started quite good with lots of corduroy and sunshine in the morning. By 1 pm things were still okay but some areas were getting skied off and there were piles of loose snow scatted about. <O:p</O:p I was really surprised how easy the metal FC was to ride. The decambered nose / tail and hammerhead nose made the board easy to skid around in traffic when needed and then initiated smoothly and carved with ease no matter did. When I leaned over the nose it was fine, weight 50:50, no problem and even when I found myself in the back seat it didn’t seem to mind. The ride was quite damp similar to my Kessler yet if you shifted your weight back at the end of the turn it still responded with enough pop to lift the nose and launch the board into the next turn. <O:p</O:p I was particularly impressed how well it plowed through the piles of loose snow without flinching and just kept carving over the scratchy sections and rollers without any problems. No matter what I did the board never lost edge hold and the larger tail radius released cleanly and allowed me to decide if I wanted to scrub speed caving across the hill or stay on the gas changing edges closer to the fall line. Overall this board was super easy to ride and made me feel like a better rider than I really am. All I can say is WOW.<O:p</O:p

-Still need to register but I'm in! -Mark

Thanks for all the great feedback. I'll let you know how things work out. -Mark

I need to expand the toe box on one of my boots. Any recommendations for the best boot fitters in the Northeast?

This is so cool to get an insider’s perspective of the world cup action. A BIG thanks to Alexa and YYZ for taking the time to post these updates throughout the season. –Can’t wait for the Olympics next season. Hopefully the alpine events will get at least a bit of coverage….
