  1. That's some disgustingly....... good riding! You got a Pilots license for all that Air Time?? What model Oxess is that? What's the specs??
  2. Tuesday New Lowest Prices For What's Left Bump!
  3. Going on 2 weeks+ of this stretching routine and I can say I can already feel a positive difference!......1st noticeably was just easier time of reaching my buckles on my 425's when I'm standing with my boot on the back bumper to buckle up in the parking lot! Additionally not as much aches and pains from going up or down stairs and such. I'd say pretty good results so far for the little amount of time it requires each day!
  4. Totally agree! But I'd say it's just plain busier 7 days a week up here in New England ski country I call it/them the Covid Crazies! There coming out of the woodwork..aka Massachusetts! A vast majority seem to have not only have been working from home but have picked up and gotten out of the city and relocated up here to their condo or time share or ski home! Waterville Valley ski resort is a community with one elementary school and that schools enrollment doubled this academic year!! Even with all the 100's of miles of hiking trails here in NH White Mtns. are having overflowing parking lots with 90% out of state cars most every day but it's just plain terrible on the weekends !!!!! , Even In Winter!!
  5. Ditto! "Won't Know If Ya Don't Go" is our family motto! I'm 10 minutes from the hill and I gotta go at least 3 midweek days a week or I'm a big Grump! ....and with my new (to me) Donek AF plate on the K168 even the crappy but not unusual "Oh My God it's frozen boilerplate" icecoast conditions are starting to look good to me!
  6. Sunday Bump For Even Lower Prices!!
  7. Whew! Thank Goodness.....I was getting tempted myself!!
  8. Hey Ace That link doesn't seem to be working????
  9. Ladia So Great To Hear! Glad you could find joy being on the Mtn. again!! Looks like you had the place to yourself! How's the Springs these days? I can honestly say I've not been there...yet. It looks like Ill be back in Tahoe starting late July for another tour of duty at Squaw.....so we will have to meet up again....maybe at the Springs or Northstar like we used to. What split tail? board is that you were riding?? Keep us informed of your excursions! Peace to you brother....
  10. What's left in the gear room - Intuition Power Tongue Liner molded once, Mondo 28 Used maybe 5? half days - $50 + Shipping Paypal F/F accepted~ barryj01@msn.com
  11. Hey!.....they stole my famous Belly Bounce move! LOL! That's Great!
  12. OMG! This is a Great board at a Great price!! I owned a 1st Gen. Virus AFT-FLP and Loved it!! Buy with confidence!!!
  13. 6'2" and 230 to much in winter mode! I wanted a turny little bandit to complement my arsenal and the Thirst SF162 is my current all day icecoast ride. Love the maneuverability and diversity as I can draw out turns edge to edge or chew up just one side of the trail with neck snapping hard charging turns and it's still teaching me new tricks!
  14. Ditto! And Even Better, If That's Possible.... With A Plate!!!
  15. 700's a little firmer but harder to buckle with the old style tapered buckles...now they are square and you can get a better grip on them. 325's more flex, but that's why I bought them.... for pow in Tahoe.
  16. What year, weight range and and scr on that Hot Rod??
  17. That was a great boot back in the day........but seriously anything off your list is going to run circles around your 18 year old boot. I love my Deluxe 425's but I had great success with Track 700's and 325's also. I found I could go a full modo size down with Deluxe boots and that Really helped the supposed Heel Lift.....you should try a mondo 28 and there are plenty of used Deluxe boots floating around here and Alpine Snowboard Trader.
  18. Thanks for the info guys! Not sure how/why I put it in For Sale forum?? Admin move it as needed.
  19. Now that I'm the proud owner of a second plate - Donek AF - I'm in the market for an additional board with UPM inserts to compliment my K168 BP v2 4mm Lite. So short, long, fast or turny let me know what ya got.
  20. What's the status on UPM inserts on new boards? Can you still get that option or has Vist/Allflex taken the market? Did I read something about UPM losing their patent?? I assume Vist/Allfex insert patterns are different than UPM??
  21. Damn!!! If I didn't already have one I'd be tempted to learn Goofy at that price!! What a Steal of a Deal! Somebody buy this thing already!!! It's just crying to be ridden!!!!

    Donek AF Plate UPM

    Oh what the Hell I'll take it! PM sent
  23. I really haven't noticed any boot cuff pressure...yet. But I do feel I'm using my rear... knee/leg by throwing it into the turn with my rotation. Maybe cuff canting could take up this slop and make the turns more responsive?? So you got 1 ?? set of boots with cuff canting you ride with multiple boards that have different binding/cant variations. Has anybody seen or got a video on this???
  24. This showed up in my daily feed today at the most opportune time! I am 64 ( How'd Did That Happen!) and active carver 4x a week and do upper body weight training 3x a week and the wife and I go out XC skiing once a week for 2-5 mile ventures. Spring,summer, fall I ride a road bike an average of 150-250 miles a week. Some history of cause and effect: In a life long, long ago I was a HS and College wrestler and a "On the mat" wrestling coach for 20 years, so I'd say my hips and shoulders are majoritively Toast now and my flexibility is comparable to a Two x Four!! So of course I've been having increasing hip and knee pain/tightness and recently It's becoming difficult getting up out of chairs, sofas, toilet, etc..... Well I'm going to do something about it! I know - Duh! - Try not to judge me please - So I'm publicly committing to doing these stretches every morning for the next 30 days! So I started today and they all felt great but the first exercise was difficult for me to do without some support for balance and to get back to standing! Omg! Pitiful !! So it can only get better.....right? Wish me luck!! https://www.burton.com/blogs/the-burton-blog/snowboarding-stretches/
