  1. 15mm sounds very little. I'd expect that when the board is pushed through a turn, the board is bending a lot more than that. Just my opinion though.
  2. Yeah, I'm not going, which is pretty lame, seeing as how I started the thread. I wanna see some pics though. Maybe next year.
  3. I guess the author's a bit out of touch if they think that Burton would be interested in the product. Interesting article though.
  4. Any ideas on recommended rider weight? I checked their website, and couldn't find any info on this.
  5. Him:- Cool. An alpine board. Me:-Ya Him:- I got one of those. Me:- What you got? Him:- A Hot Logic. Me:- You should get it out, then they'd be two of us. Him:- I had it out once earlier this year.
  6. I just bought one after starting to do some local racing, and was glad I did. The first use for it was when I was pushed up high on a quarterpipe riding boardercross. As I came off of the quarterpipe my body was angled horizontally to the slope (as I flew through the air). All I could think, as the flight was in slow motion, was how much this was going to hurt. When I did impact, and my head snapped back, I was surprised that it didn't hurt at all. That was worth buying the helmet for. I wiped out recently this year; not sure what happened, but the board came out from me, and I dropped backwards; head took an almighty slam. It actually hurt - and that was with the helmet on. I took a slalom gate to the face last weekend. Mmmn fun. That's why I use a full-face for racing now (damn ski-racing gates). Nothing quite like taking a gate to the face and being able to keep on riding.
  7. More or less :- "The Resort Rankings are used to qualify Alpine racers for the Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships. Participants receive a Resort Ranking at each resort where they race after completing just ONE Nature Valley NASTAR race. Participants qualify if they are ranked in the top three in their age & gender category in their division at any Nature Valley NASTAR resort as of Tuesday, February 16, 2010. " In my case I qualified as #2 in 2 people.
  8. Vaseline has served me well in the humid south for garage storage. Lately though, the boards have been upgraded to inside the house, so I just let them dry naturally standing up. About the worst thing you can do is to keep them in a wet bag in a warm vehicle. Instant rust!
  9. Who's in. I'm thinking about it.... Paul
  10. I don't have plans to attend ECES.....yet.
  11. Only met one other hard-booter via this forum so far....anyone want to come out and play this weekend?
  12. That's not true, exactly, as I didn't accept the buyers offer.
  13. Bump....it's been a while....and seeing some interest in Priors in the Wanted section.
  14. Liftie shakes head and says "That's just wrong".
  15. Assuming that the racing doesn't get cancelled I'll be carving at Beech all weekend. If it does get cancelled then maybe at Sugar.
  16. bit off topic perhaps, but does anyone remember Bill Werbeniuk the snooker player. He drank pints to steady his hand while playing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Werbeniuk
  17. 1. Nothing. Absolutely nothing, but stared at it for 2 mins solid. 2. I haven't seen one of those since 1970.
  18. OK, sold, after the board is spoken for..
  19. see above post for Catek pricing/availability
  20. @Greenleaf. $80 + shipping. These become available if the board sells.
