  3. Delam? Help, please!

    I didn't miss anything. I'm just a little hesitant to jam a screw driver up in there to make the crack bigger. I guess it's just going to be glued black together, so I suppose it won't do too much harm. Maybe I'm just chicken to screw it up any further. :o Can you blame me? :freak3:

    I'm still wondering what I could use to get the epoxy in the crack. As you can see, the crack is a little thicker than the silver layer on a dime. I have a tiny screwdriver that can just barely get the tip in, but I doubt it'll work. Is there anything else you guys recommend?

    Alrighty guys. All your advice has been really appreciated. :)

    I won't ride it tomorrow. Maybe I can get one of the INWES guys to help me out. I'll be riding with a couple of them this weekend, so I'll ask them then, hopefully. Otherwise, I'll just have to wait until I figure something else out.

    One more thing...how do I get the epoxy in that tiny crack? Can I get some epoxy in a syringe or something? :confused:

    Thanks again everyone :)

    So I'll take it wouldn't be a good idea if I take the board out like this in slushy snow? I was really hoping I would be able to take her out, but I guess it's just gonna have to wait. :(

    Any INWES brothas wanna help me out? All I have is duct tape in my dorm room. I can buy the epoxy if needed. Heck, I'll even pay for labor (if it's not too spendy. This board left me broke :o)

    ETA: Thank you, Sean, but I'm in northern ID. As for the box...well...It's not so intact. I still have it, but I may have effed myself for a claim by ripping the cardboard.

    Alright, here's the scoop. I just got a Donek I bought here on Bomber. When I started ripping off the cardboard, I noticed that the nose seemed as though it was hit by something (there was a hole in the cardboard). After I took the board out, I inspected it some more. My heart sank a little when I saw what looks like a small delam.

    Take a look yourself and tell me what you think.

    What can I do to fix this? I got this as an anniversary gift for my gf, so I'm really hoping it's not too major. Should I have a fear of it delaminating further? :(

    Any tips and input would be greatly appreciated.

    That's exactly why I don't like borrowing other people's stuff. You never know when stuff like that can happen. But as BB said, the good thing is that no one got hurt. Just remember that other ppl on the mtn. are oblivious to our style (going perpendicular to the fall line) and you really need to watch out for others above you, even if you DO have the right of way. Good luck on the repairs and keep on trenchin' :biggthump

  19. Alpine Snowboard Teams

    in Racing

    Posted

    start a branch of the S.M.A.R.T. team here at Silver Mountain for junior and masters age boarders interested in racing and freecarving.I am testing the waters with management at another resort too.The race director at Silver would want us to follow their model which would involve regular training throughout the season.Highly unlikely that we will get many young people in this region interested in alpine specific but there seems to be potential in masters.

    Slightly off topic; I think that regular freecarve technique sessions would be a cool step toward interest in racing,as we would have a dedicated arena making it safer and less apt to peeve the senior citizen two plankers on the rest of the hill.

    Back to the younger set;I could be pleasantly surprised with some youth getting into it considering that so many young people have been asking smart questions and giving me cudos on the 'sick' riding I've been doing.

    Hey Steve, let us know the updates! I'm already really interested. What do I need to qualify? :) You can PM/email me to avoid taking this thread off track.

  24. Post your Summer Ride - photos if you have it

    Hey, thanks to you and your son Bubba! The first two rifles (and the one pictured below) are all Ruger 10/22s. I converted the one below to a .17hm2, as well as polished my own barrel. The other rifle in the snow is a Winchester m70 in .325WSM.

    As for the scopes, there are only 2 in all 4 pics; the longer one is a Mueller APV 4.5-14x40AO, and the one on the Winchester is a Muller Tactical 8-25x44AO.

    They all drive tacks :biggthump
