Grats to whoever gets it.

Perhaps I missed something . . . I don't believe I requested new gear?

Hi, I'm looking for a used Intec step-in Heel Assembly to match Mondo 29.5 boots. Couldn't state it any simpler :) I'd appreciate any and all offers. Fun with smilies . . .

Shintowin, Sorry about the typographical error - I want it @ $165.

Shintown, I'll take the Volki - shipped to Wisconsin.

Some pics perhaps? Some more detailed use info?

I've been looking around, can't seem to find any technical information on the Nitro GTO brand (discontinued, I know:rolleyes:). Anybody got any knowledge on this, aka waist width, effective edge, etc.?

i'd be interested in getting some more info on the Rossi, some technical specs and more detailed condition info would be nice. :)

By local small hills, what sort of size do you mean? I'm just saying it could be visually different for everyone, like the hills i ride and race on are probably not very large by most carvers standards; I frequently ride on Ski Brule in the upper peninsula of Michigan, and its roughly the size of other hills I would visit. oldkey: Nice guess on The House ;) But yeah, the 157 perhaps being a tad too short was prolly my big concern, other than the board quality itself of course.

Been looking around at some good boards to get a start in carving, found an F2 Speedcross 157 at a nice price, any opinions on this board from experience? looks a bit wide, which is fine for me, as i might be riding softies (at high angles) for awhile as I raise some funds. If appearances were everything it looks like a nice boardercross/freecarve, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience riding one of these and what you can say about it? Also, I'm 6'0", 167lbs. atm. there isn't much for size options here, i'm thinking 157 will be just fine but maybe not?:o Thanks for your help.:)

Hi $trider, sorry, but I'm way up north WI (Brule and Granite Peak are frequently visited hills for me). Algunderfoot: "My girlfriend are in the Oconomowoc area and are season pass holders at Indianhead, in Wakefield, MI.. Indianhead is a carver friendly hill with the exception of one freeloader patroller named Rusty. Crusty as I call him, hates snowboarders, I think it's a case of board envy (mine's longer than his :D ) In anycase, you'll know we're there from the lines and ruts on F.I.S., catch up and hang out." very cool, one of our first meets of the year took place at Indianhead last year, but it was one of the worst snow condition days of the year . The meet was delayed once due to rain/sleet, and in order to get things set for us to come they pretty much just ground up all the ice and called it good. I did like the hill tho, I'll try and let you know if we'll be going there this year or not.

I'm looking for any good used alpine snowboard selling low, preferably one compatible w/ soft boots/bindings (cost factor for upcoming season). been looking around, some particulars that interest me: Donek(G-Force) Razor, F2 Eliminator, Volkl Spline; but any and all offers are appreciated. Thanks:1luvu:

Cool, thanks for the advice, it's nice to know that there's a board out there for people who aren't sure if they want to make the huge $1000+ plunge by buying all-new boards, boots, and bindings. The only problem now would be getting over that $680 price, hopefully I can find one used somewhere. Anyone else have any opinions or reviews on boards they have used or good places to find less expensive equipment?

Hi, I'm new to the site and was referred here by a friend. I've been snowboarding for 5-6 years and want to get an alpine racing board for the upcoming season for racing on my high school team. I'm really trying to look for inexpensive options right now (I'll probably end up selling the equipment when I go to college). What I realized in the past was that trying to execute carves at high speeds was next to impossible on my "normal" board, a RIDE Agenda 161. It couldn't hold the edge when I needed it to (let alone even get into a nice edge after gaining some speed), and its lack of stability and "shakes" were very noticeable while racing at times. I feel like my equipment has been holding me back, because I actually managed to execute nice carves on this board throughout the season despite its "freestyle" designation, but only by fighting it VERY hard. Which leads me to wanting to upgrade. I'm wondering if anyone would have any references to a good place to get used or cheap equipment, or any tips for a new alpine shopper. If anyone has any reviews of boards they've been using and enjoy, or opinions on various boards out there, that'd be very awesome as well. On a side note, I've noticed that company Donek/G-Force make a board called the "Razor", built as an alpine racing board specifically made to be used with soft boots and bindings. This seemed like a great option for me as far as keeping costs down (I wouldn't necessarily have to buy all new stuff), but has anyone ridden this board or have anything to say on it? Thanks in advance for your help
