  1. Sweetsooziep's White Prior 4WD 164cm snowboard... info please!!

    in For Sale

    Posted

    Really? I thought she posted pics of her kids saying "these are the kids you are sponsoring" ?

    I am so sorry I read this thread about an alleged ill intent on my part to decieve someone about a snowboard I bought here last summer. Thankfully Bryan stepped up to help end the character defamation and set the record straight: the truth being that I was the victim in this drama, not the other way around. A lot of undue accusation and fabricated assumptions were shared. The fact that I was and am lame and make mistakes about snowboard details is due to cognitive memory impairment from a brain-injury sustained years ago in Thailand. I have no intent to decieve. Secondly, by ending my ad with a "thank-you for sponsoring my kids" didn't mean anything more than that whatever I earned from your generousity went into buying them their ski passes and team dues so they could join their jr./high-school team. (They actually deserve to be sponsored though, as once again my sons are placing as top racers of CA-NEVADA CNISSF, despite NOT having any of their top-rate gear anymore).

    It was wrong to pass judgment. Next time, do the right thing and "ask" the person before you start gossiping. Instead educate.

  2. Craigslist Stuff on Craigslook

    in For Sale

    Posted

    Was just poking around on the CraigsLook site. Its the season for alpine stuff to start popping up and there are indeed a few nice deals--especially newer Volkl Renntigers at good prices. Search under alpine snowboard, as well as carving and race/racing snowboards, and you'll find them.

    Unfortunately, the only thing I could use are a nice pair of boots--currently in Hawaii, local pick-up only!

    THANKS for sharing the tips about Craigslook! Have you ever tried Craizedlist?

  9. Risers for 14 Year Old Racer?

    in Racing

    Posted

    Back to the original quesiton of risers for a 14 year old... Here's my experience...

    I started with the Cutting board riser plates under snowpro bindings two years ago. it's a good feel, but only for powerful riders. the leverage created makes the board very unforgiving once on edge. risers also decrease edge change quickness... cutting board risers raise the rider an additional 10mm or so, and take about 7 to 10 days on snow and in gates to really get the feel for...

    now i ride the Spirig Hangl Plates and i would NOT recomend them to anyone under 150-160 pounds, simply because they make the board SO HEAVY. Heavy can be a good thing, as my board slices through crud, bumps, etc.. but it also weighs in at 20.02 pounds. you need to have enough strength to "muscle" the board from edge to edge. once it gets going though, it is hard to stop. in GS i am not so concerned about edge change speed, as i would rather have the dampening and the leverage that the hangl plate offers.

    REPSPONSE:

    Thank you for this information. I was originally wanting to buy a used slalom Kessler for my son, a strong carver, but still only has 3 seasons of hardboots under him. Because he was winning so many red and blue medals in USASA last year and qualified for Nationals, I got excited and impulsive thinking the metal boards would give him the edge this year (2010/11). I found a used Kessler 163 for sale but realized I need to buy hangl plates, have no idea about what bindings and really started to get confused.

    Now I am learning that plates are best for GS? But still maybe not? What are risers--is that cant? I bought some last year but my boys and i don't know what we're doing. Johnny Walton lives nearby, and we hired Dane to help coach a few days, but have never been able to sit down and 'put together' the best set-up for their SL and GS and Bx. I am not even clear whether or not we already have what they need in our stash of 12 boards. Can someone help me? We are in a town that does not recognize hardbooting, have no local experienced carvers to glean from or learn by hands' on.

    If anyone has the time and interest to check out our list of boards and bindings I have bought them from here over the years, (you may see your old gear here! :), this list can be found inside my sons' profile (CarterPrice), and maybe you can help us 'make' a high-functioning upgrade out of what we already own by just adding fine-tuning, risers, or nothing....

    Thanks again BOL folks! My boys (14, 16-18) and I spend hours on end looking at your photos and videos with admiration. We are excited about your giftedness in athleticism, willingness and consideration and patience in educating us skidders always asking the same questions over and over! If there is an online place I can peruse to get my questions otherwise answered, I am grateful to any advice.

  11. Who rides park/jumps?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    I follow my 3 sons all over the backside at Sierra, they have a killer BX run set up ending at the halfpipe. We always play in the Alley practicing aerials (the kids do, I only jump) they learned in summer camp. I try to save up every year to send them to a week camp at either HCSC, MHSSC in Mt Hood for racing camp, but this summer I am allowing them to go just for the terrain park experiences..... My oldest is competing in USASA Nationals this April at Copper so I am sneaking the other two kids into the day camp at Woodward. Has anyone ever been there? I see there is a 35 ft ramp into a foam pit!? God, I wish I were a kid again and had a Mom like me!!!

    I have a very old but excellent condition Shawn Palmer snowboard. My husband recently passed away and it was his. He told me it was worth some money and he never would let it go because of the value. A must see for snowboard collectors.<!-- START CLTAGS -->
