  1. Who rides the "Pureboarding" style

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    The Pureboarding group is getting lots of people to show up and try alpine snowboarding at the clinics they are doing in Europe. I talked to Ray a couple of weeks ago and he told me this. Ray is one of the riders here in the usa that sells Pureboarding boards and does the clinics with Joerg.. I am going to try and show up this year at SES and demo a Pureboarding board and have fun. I think this concept will help grow the sport of Alpine snowboarding. I would like to buy a Pureboarding board used but you never see them up for sale. You see lots of raceboards up for sale on this forum and ebay. no Pureboarding boards for sale on ebay in Europe either. Must be a good product! Of course the race boards for sale are good as well. I guess I will have to buy a Pureboarding board new if I decide I would want one.

  3. FTWO AND BURTON DECK

    in Bindings and Subplate System Reviews

    Your Burton alp has a 3 hole insert pattern and you might need a disc from f2 that works with that pattern? Other brands of snowboards use the 4 hole insert pattern. I can't tell from the picture if you are lined up properly over the inserts with that disc? You might post more pictures to make it possible to tell? Burton Variplates will not work with your Burton Alp as they were made for the 5 hole pattern that Burton used to use years ago.

  4. Good shop for major base repair?

    Would the ski area help pay for this since you were working for them doing the lift evacuation? Did you send pictures to Bruce so that he could diagnose the repairs needed? Maybe the area you are working for knows of someone in your area that can do major repairs? Just trying to come up with ideas to help?

  5. Pureboarding carving clinic

    in Announcements/Discussions

    Posted

    Will there be a Pureboardig carving clinic at SES this year ? Will it be a 1 day only? I did talk to Ray and he said he will be at SES from Feb 6-13 and Joerq will be there  for WCS and SES and there will be Pureboarding boards to demo. I am hoping to be able to attend the clinic and also demo a Pureboarding board? If not then I could at least demo a board and get to ride with people at the session. Hopefully information about this will be available soon.

    Thank you all for the reminders on weight placement during toeside and heelside turns. I will work on this Wensday when I ride. I have been riding the Pureboarding stance this season and like it. I still have lots of things to work on for carving and all mountain riding but I always try to make improvements always. The nice thing about all mountain boards is that the versatility is there. I did not have any problems trying the stance as I used a shorter board-F2 158 breezer. It also is wider and similar in dimensions to the Pureboarding boards. I have ridden shorter boards before and still like a shorter board for all mountain riding. The stance I think is great. I am going to demo a pureboarding board at ses. I hope I  will like it. My goal is to stop riding race boards and only have 2 boards a Pureboarding and a Dupraz which I already have. The Dupraz I only ride on big powder days although it can be used all of the time.  I have not spent much time on the metal raceboards this year. They are heavy and only good for groomed snow. I am working on carving better on the all mountain boards and it is more fun because I can ride moguls as well and the carve all in the same run. I think you can make any type of turn you want to with the pureboarding stance.

  8. Foot pain?

    If your liners are worn out that might be the source of your problem as they get thinner when they are packed out too much. You might be able to just get new liners and still use those boots assuming they are the correct size? I am on my 3rd set of liners with my susaka boots and they are not worn out yet. the boots will last a long time. If you can go to a boot fitter they could help.

  9. selling gear at ses?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Is it okay to bring gear to ses to sell? I would assume a person could leave a sign at the demo tent with name and number and prices of items and then you could arrange meet up with interested buyers. I would assume that it is not permissible to leave used items at the demo tent as it would cause problems for Fin and Michelle that they don't need. I wonder if it is okay to post a sign at the demo tent?

  11. My bindings are gonna kill me. Advice?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Do you have the correct discs as well? If the discs say no canting you are using the wrong ones for the cants. I would email Joerg if you have the right parts and ask about this if you are still having problems? No canting means that you have to set up the bindings flat with no cants with those discs.I would guess those are the wrong discs because you said the bindings don't move when you are riding them flat. Maybe Joerg can bring you parts to buy for later this month?

  14. rad-air exotic boards

    Posted

    I was just at All board sports yesterday and there was a tanker there . It looked real long.Maybe a 200? you would have to contact Bola about it for price and other info about the board. He also has lots of other options available.are you wanting to buy a board for powder riding?

  15. Ibex Binders/Burton Cants

    in For Sale

    Posted

    are you selling all your gear or are you selling the Ibex off because you did buy some sidewinders a while ago? Would you be interested in trading a pair of sidewinders for a pair of your Ibex? I hope you are not selling everthing. I have 2 pairs of sidewinders I want to sell or trade as I am riding flexier bindings.

  18. Dupraz D1 6

    in For Sale

    Posted

    Would you be interested in trading it for other snowboard gear? I have some things I am thinking of selling. I would rather trade than buy because I already own 2 Dupraz already. I have 2 pairs of sidewinder bindings and possibly some boards to sell.

  21. Pureboarding boards vs other all mountain boards

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    I do have a board that I can try the pureboarding stance on . It is a f2 breezer and it is a 158 and I think the waist width is 24 cm? I did setup the rear binding at 30 dergrees and can see why the width has to be more for that stance. It will work for me to try this and then if I like the stance I could consider buying a pureboarding board. Getting the pureboarding board won't be a problem as Bomber can get them. I did try a two a number of years ago at Loveland but I only did 2 runs on it as it was a frigid day. I did not have any trouble riding it. I think it was a 164?
