C'est la longueur en cm de ton pied, aussi simple que cela !! Mondo 27 fait pour un pied de 27 cm de long

Adam is from Quebec. Used to be on Canadian National Team, but injuries few years ago created a gap vs newcomers like Morisson & Lambert. As he had double nationalty ( mom ? ), he asked to be recognized as a GBR to be sure to compete at Vancouver games. Very nice guy ! AKA on BOL as McIank, mainly for selling stocks

These are few of the challenges to run a PGS: Age group: You need to decide how many age group categories who will have. You don't want to run 12yrs old against 21. Once qualifs completed, you need to establish ranking per category and then run finals for each. This quickly become a long afternoon, unless you decide to make "top 4" only finals. Equipment: the starting gates is a major issue. You need 2 starting gates, 25-30 feet apart that open simultaneously for finals. Those are pretty rare at a typical ski hill. The backup is a SBX starting gates, wide enough with the first turn set 25+ feet apart the riders. Ski hill: You need the widest possible run, with no "leaning" effect. Since both riders go together 30 feet apart, you need to install more safety net ( Bnet ) to cover potential fall or collision from any of the two riders. Leaning: if the run leans, this may create advantage for one of the riders. From that run, you need fast access to a lift: in the afternoon, each competitors will make many runs ( for a "top 16" format, the podium makes 8 runs during the afternoon ). At World Cup level, they use 4+ Ski-Doos to bring back competitors at the start. Timing: You need a good timing operator, there is a lot of more things going on, vs a regular 2-run race. You need 2 different set-up, qualifs vs finals. There is no "2nd chance" to look back at data in the afternoon. Alternative: In our provincial series, we make "2 best of 3+" format. Racers make 3 or 4 runs in a GS course, and we keep only the best 2 for ranking. Racers need to adjust themselves after each run to push further or establish a "base" time vs others. This create interesting situation & challenge since the race conditions change and get icy also.

Pour la petite histoire: Bombardier a vendu son usine de Granby où sont fabriqué les BR en 2004 à Camoplast. Entre 2005 et 2009, Camoplast a graduellement vendu l'usine à...Prinoth qui était l'un de leur compétiteur italien. Donc, c'est la même usine, les mêmes travailleurs, mais le logo sur le "cab" change. il ne reste donc plus que PistenBully ( allemand ) comme autre compagnie de damage. Bombardier avait vendu aussi à l'époque sa division "produits récréatifs". Celle est devenu "BRP" pour "Bombardier Recreational Products", même Ski-Doo, etc. La famille Bombardier-Beaudoin est encore actionnaire de BRP, mais il s'agit d'une compagnie privé ( pas en bourse ) contrairement à Bombardier Inc. qui a conservé les avions et les trains ( ouf ! )

They have the start list, but nothing as far as results ? What about conditions ? Copper Mtn webcams look nice.

Any results ? www.live-timing.com is not working.

Dans quel coin tu es ? Canada...c'est grand

Had few PM exchange with Sue. I guess she entered the hardbooting market without enough knowledge. Had long email regarding board & binding selection for her sons. At least one of them is a USASA racer and she was looking to give him the best tools possible. She kept buying boards based on "good deals" without focusing on the real need: you don't race GS with a 4WD ! Then she realized she had to focus on fewer boards, and went on selling stock on BOL to fund better "racing" board for her kids.

09.12.2010 at Copper is an Halfpipe event 19.01.2011 at Mt. Hood is a SBX

1. Yes, you will loose ~ 2 MPG 2-3. I also have a Thule Atlantis 1800 on my Mitsibushi Outlander or Acura RDX. Acura RDX has a shorter roof, a longer box would not fit while opening the rear hatch, you need to double-check this issue. I like the width of the 1800 ( 36" wide ), making easy to load from either side. Fit easily 185 GS board. If your Subaru has factory roof bar, look for Thule 450 Crossroad Railing foot. It converts any roof side bar into a strong roof rack.

Une bonne "true bar" est un investissement. Tu peux valider toi-même si tu dois aller ou pas pour rendre ta base plane. BEAUCOUP de skis et de planches FLAMBANT NEUVES n'ont pas une base plane. Les compagnies fabriquent les boards, les envoient dans la machine qui les mets parfaits...et puis les emballent et les envoies par bateau...où les colles internes ont tout le temps voulu pour sécher et créer des surfaces "concaves/convexes". Si tu vas dans un shop et que le gars n'a pas une true bar de 12-14 po. , ...salue-le poliment...et sors en courant.

Le résultat final vient de 2 facteurs AUSSI IMPORTANTS l'un que l'autre: - La machine - L'OPÉRATEUR de la machine. T'as beau avoir une Ferrari, si tu sais pas conduire, t'es un danger sur la route.. Pour avoir fait le "tour du Québec" à la recherche d'un bon tuner il y a 2-3 ans, j'ai vu des jobs de "con" faites sur des "super machines". Le pire, c'est que le gars au comptoir te remet la planche avec le plus grand des sourires parce qu'il pense qu'il a la "meilleure machine en ville", mais la planche est CONCAVE parce que personne n'entretient pas sa machine. Perso, je me méfie beaucoup des shops où ce sont des ados ( désolé pour les ados ) qui opèrent les machines, même si la machine vaut 0,5 millions $....J'adore les "petites shops" où c'est toujours le même gars sur la machine et qu'il connaît sa "machine à $100 K".

Normally, you should look for a binding where your DIN ( 8 ) is in its middle range. Free Flex Pro 11 fits that. That's what I use when skiing ( DIN 7,5 ). Free Flex Pro 18 for example is not a good choice since its springs won't feel anything. + Pro 11 will be lighter than Pro 18.

He won't slow down if he ever fall... Not an expert, maybe it's Latex-like ?
