  1. Free. i'm a lift operator at my hill... and i'm not exactly certain of my snowboarding career after i quit working there... :-\
  2. hows the camber on it? ...this board has me so infatuated...
  3. both... but you'd probably be better off going to a specialist. like at your local ski shop or what not.
  4. if i were you i would buy them. it's nothing a boot fitter can't fix. you'd be surprised how magical a heel lift is.
  5. i really wish i wasn't looking for a new board.... what year are they, any way?
  6. Nice. i really wish i could get out on some of those good hill when the snow was crap i'm always on 2 when after the race courses have been set up (i'm a night rider)... MES though, i've already made sure i'm not doing any thing tuesday night so i can be there bright and early!
  7. well i know at my local hill their is a small resurgence in it's popularity.. Frankly, i quite like it.
  8. i usually do not touch the snow. but i fallow a more "race carve" style. although once in a while my hand will brush the snow on toe side. but that has only happens on a very fast part of a race course. ... idk i'm glad you posted this cause it's a very debatable topic. ... not to thread jack you but while we're on a similar subject; whats the difference between a push pull method of carving vs a typical cross through? i'm guess that has a more definitive a answer....
  9. i say bring back the TD2 bail lever. is there even any harm in incorporating that into the new design? (TD4)
  10. ok i realize this might not be the best forum to post this on, but this seems to be the only one i'm subscribed to that will give me understand input ok, so... i rode my soft boot snowboard today, which i use primarily with my friend when we're all just playing round on the hill, whether it be free riding, jibing, what ever... but i realized that it's just not that fun any more, compared to my alpine board. it just doesn't ride the way i want it too... So i'm thinking about selling it and getting a pair of twin tip skis; i much prefer hard boots over softies, now days, and think that any circumstance where i would rather use soft boots can just be replaced by a pair of twin tips. the only catch is i've never skied before. but it seems rather intuitive. so what do you think? can twin tip skis adequately replace a soft boot snowboard with a duck stance? PS: for some odd reason, i already own a pair of free style ski boots
  11. any thing to trade? does it need to be metal? i have a '04 Axxess
  12. i have a garmin. did were you looking at it while you were riding or did you set it up a certain way?
  13. see thats what made me notice i don't use it; i had to go a crossed a flat area, and just never put my boot back in once i got to the hill again... just kept my rear leg floating it lala land
  14. i believe that would fall under the second category "No, never"
  15. i agree. i'm not going to SES, and am not a beginner, but the Pilot might be a good board to bring to demo.
  16. I was racing today, and i could see what looked like hard booter trenches from the chair. Very good work! (Silver medal btw!)
  17. honestly, i wouldn't use them. plates just don't belong in the park, in my book. i'd only use boots. are you going to be jibbing, or big airs? your going to look like a retro geezer if you use plates..
  18. So i noticed this today when i got off the chair lift; that kick a** looking little stomp pad i have, never really gets used. i ride mostly one footed when i get off the chair, as it's easier for me to turn. how ever, if i'm traveling long distances, with one binding in, i'll put my other for down, as long as i'm going straight. so what do you do? and if you'd like, explain a little bit behind it... BTW i would consider this to be one of the finer points of alpine snowboarding...
  19. 28 bids.... i guess it is worth it... if it started at $19.... imagine what the seller is thinking lol
  20. how come some of the related videos are rap videos? Is MES a gangsta gangsta throw down? Minnesota Ebonics Session
  21. yeah whats done to it? and why to the headers take such a goofy path on the drivers side? whats the weight distribution? and what did you do any thing to change the weight distribution? (the drivers seat looks like it's in a fairly stock location...)
