There is always a market for BLING.

USPS is best option but delays may happen due to covid cases with postal workers at customs and sorting facilities. If your shipping a Coiler product from US to Canada there is no import fees on products made in Canada so be sure to declare if product is Canadian made.

I get shit for political comment but never anything as egregious as that ! Have you tried bleach on your knees ?
Any assist to keep doing something you enjoy doing is a good idea. My only concern is to prevent further harm so please if the idea is something you've never tried or considered unorthodox it can't hurt to run it by a pro with credentials.

Another option is to seek out an orthopaedic surgeon with an interest in sports medicine and knees. They can examine your knee(s) and look at your records, determine where are the structures that would benefit from support / movement limitation etc. and then recommend a device that actually does what YOU need.
Why go to a real Dr. when you can get Dr. Internet for free ?

I love your optimism but I'm not seeing anything in human behavior that's contributing to a conclusion to this "C" situation. Is this the beginning of a new conspiracy group ? Devisable by two ?

Still increasing #'s IC at capacity. Seems you can't quarantine stupid .

I have always said the purpose of a plate on a board is to allow a board to do what is was designed to do without influencing it . Whether or not the rider can match those parameters is always the elusive element. It's not realistic to think one board does it all but with each passing season it's evident that some are getting closer. Best example for me to date has been the effectiveness of a plate on a board in icy conditions. ( you have to be an east coaster to experience this )

My doctors advice is not to take anything as it may interfere with development of antibodies . What was your source of approval to take said ? Heating pad , blanket movies on standby .

Careful brother @lowrider, I suspect the @SunSurfer would be a dab hand at lambing, with the added bonus of applying Propofol as required.
For the Shepard not the ewe i presume ?

Dangerous time walking the dog. I get thinking.
Spreading a barn full on sheep manure last week i had a glitch with the machine. Reflecting on what a mental health expert was advising on dealing with Covid " remove negative thoughts and redirect to pleasant thoughts" I told my wife i had a few thoughts I'd like to share with the expert ! SunSurfer you sure the dog isn't talking back ? Is it time to order a new board with a different sidewall profile on each side for comparison. Better be carful in your discussions with Bruce about that idea I think it might take an order of flowers for Bruce's wife before he would be softened up enough to consider it !

SunSurfer I was recalling the thought that a plate on a board moderates the flex . Sometimes it makes the middle of the board less flat than it would be without the plate and sometimes it allows the board to flex more than it would if ridden without a plate. Sometime the impression is that it's due to peddling perhaps other factors are at play. Pay me and I'll buy a thousand sensors buy some more boards and test out the theory and while I'm doing that you and your wife can come and lamb out the ewes and bale hay .Oh wait you can't were on a 6 week lock down police now have the right to stop and ask where you live and where you are going . The message is stay home but people don't know what that means so here we are exactly where no one wants to be , Having fun waiting for your report of the upcoming season. Update April 18 th police decided they wouldn't stop people so gov't yanked the order. New reality you can't cure stupid or quarantine it either .

When I got it back to Maine it was a completely different board. I still loved it, but it suddenly rode a lot longer.
Great discussion!
Your statement makes me go back to when i first started making plates and i came to the realization that certain plates could make a short board ride as though it was longer and a long board ride as though it were shorter. Down a rabbit hole indeed ! New riders might want to ignore this thread for a while.

Yes you got me confused for a second too, as I think of friction as the resistance in my direction travel. Then I realized you must be a side slipper..
Ouch !!

With the number of years on the clock and a few people that have died hitting trees i have made myself a promise not to ride on the edges but stick to the groom in the middle . I know I'm missing out on some good terrain but I'm willing to trade it for some extra years .

@dredman trying to understand what's happening as a result of changes in design and construction becomes a fuzzy gestalt of what "feels good".
(SunSurfer) If you are looking for a specific feature your present boards don't have to justify to your wife why you need a new board just tell her everyone of your imaginary internet snowboard friends say you need it to keep a smile on your face !

You guys are starting to make my brain ache. It's not so much the flex in general but more specifically where on the board the flex is occurring as the rider transitions through each turn. Too many variables for me to worry about. Sunsurfer call Bruce and have a chat forecast is for rain tomorrow so he probably won't be on the links.

Hey it's your board and your money grind away if it feels good. I might consider myself to perhaps tend toward OCD on a few issues in my life but when it comes to a question of "do i need it" hell what do any of us really need ? I made a pair of skis and Bruce base ground them for me because they needed it, edges weren't level with the base. On a side note Bruce has both stone and belt machines for base structure. Given the state of things today just settle on what makes you happy and puts a smile on your face . Isn't that what we all really need ?

Greatest boarding video soundtrack, ever!
Almost as good as the guys that played for the 2019 MCC banquet. It's been ten years since i had the joy of riding that run. Does anyone else rock side to side in your chair while watching this ?

Glad it's behind me never want to look back on this past season ever !

"In my opinion" How your particular board board rides whether you are centered or not is best learned on a very gentle flat slope much like the unloading zone on a well designed lift exit. If you can't initiate a turn with your front foot your too far back on the board. If your board tracks straight with proper posture on a small incline your as close to perfect as most people get. If the board hooks left or right your binding) boots are off center. I don't mean off center mathematically but off center of balance (mass)

Perhaps a rifle scabbard would deter aggressive people.
