hows the camber on it?
...this board has me so infatuated...

Sale pending. Thanks!
your welcome

A boot fitter? Is that something I can do myself or is it actually a person who fits boots? :o
both...
but you'd probably be better off going to a specialist. like at your local ski shop or what not.
-
I'm VERY interested...I'm ready to buy, I just a little concerned about the size. Barefoot, I'm just at 26.5cm. And seeing that you're selling these boots because they're a little small at 26.6, I'm not sure if I should buy these.
How tight where they on your feet, rj?
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.

third....

i really wish i wasn't looking for a new board....
what year are they, any way?
-
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!
-
well i know at my local hill their is a small resurgence in it's popularity.. Frankly, i quite like it.
-
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....
-
i say bring back the TD2 bail lever. is there even any harm in incorporating that into the new design? (TD4)

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

any thing to trade? does it need to be metal? i have a '04 Axxess

52mph. 190cm Prior, green run (quiet, few people), Garmin GPS.
i have a garmin. did were you looking at it while you were riding or did you set it up a certain way?

When I was teaching my daughter to snowboard I wouldn't even strap my back foot in. I was always having to hike back up the hill and would ride the whole run one footed. One time when I didn't have my daughter I challenged myself to see how difficult of a run I could do top to bottom with my back foot out. I've done every run at my local hill that way and the greens and a couple blues I did pretty fast. Even rode fakie one footed.
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
-
You forgot to add the 4th category,
Never use one.
i believe that would fall under the second category "No, never"
-
I don't have a stomp pad, but do occasionally put my foot where one would be. I normally just hold my foot up next to my front foot and/or drag it in the snow.
I did find a Dakine spikey stomp pad on the ground at the top of a chairlift over Christmas, though. I might put it on one of my boards, but the bottom has no glue/adhesive on it. Anyone know what I can use to mount it on a board?
hot glue gun? basic epoxy?
-
How about some starter boards? I am just starting out. I am positive that I need practice, but I am not sure if my board is right. I have a Burton AMP 5.3 and a SIMS Premium 167. I weigh only 135 pounds and am about 5'7" tall. Are these boards too stiff for me? The SIMS seems to want to go really fast before it carves. I just wonder of learning might be easier if I had a more suitable board?
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.

I was racing today, and i could see what looked like hard booter trenches from the chair. Very good work!
(Silver medal btw!)
-
ng, or big airs? your going to look like a retro geezer if you use plates..
on second thought, take lots of pictures :p
-
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..
-
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...
-
28 bids.... i guess it is worth it... if it started at $19.... imagine what the seller is thinking lol

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...)
How much do you spend on a season pass?
