    If I could only own one, it would be my Contra 178 x 12m by virtue of it being smoother and more comfortable for all day riding.  The K168 is great fun when it's good, smooth groom, but not so fun when it's not.  The Contra stays comfortable over a wider range of rough snow.  The K168 is demanding all the time; the Contra lets you relax and make mistakes with less consequence.

     

    I have been a Coiler loyalist since 2004 and the one thing I always come back to in my reviews is the ability of his boards to process poor rider input without tossing you in the trees. Mistakes dont get amplified and you can recover without bad results. One of the lines from way back was the "Save your tail, Tail" as one of the big mistakes for many riders is getting in the back seat and not being able to recover. 

    To me Coiler makes boards that instill confidence and allow people to get better getting you to that next level. Now we have a collection of veteran expert riders here that may find these traits a crutch or a negative but for the bulk of us mortal riders it works and works well. With my recent dual residence Im limited to days on snow so I really benefit from these design characteristics.

    This would have been a good weekend for me, now me and my Antibodies are off to Florida Thursday for 2 weekends. 

    Hopeful that my pass will be done and waiting for me when I get back.   Wrong Island, its rarely crowded at the beast but all rules are out the window these days.

    Im on the mend, heading south tomorrow to rehab my lungs in some warmer air. Im so looking forward to seeing you guys on the hill. 9 days in bed with a 102 fever can change your perspective a bit. The thought of spending the day ripping with you guys seems like a dream. Keep me in the loop.

  16. Walk Mode for Riding?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    I have been riding in walk mode on all my boots for like 17 years. Deelux I had BTS  and Blue/yellow springs. On my UPZ I ride with the lever down and no other mods. I have horrible flexibility and the increased range of motion being unlocked allows me to get into the proper body positions easier. Call it a crutch but I do what I need to to get the job done. If I was gifted with more body flex Im willing to believe locking my boots might be more beneficial but it works for me.

  23. Tell your Corona story

    So its been 13 days since I started my fever. I really got it bad and only have left my bed to go to the hospital. Its brutal when you get the full dose. Fever, chills and body aches are crippling. Friday night to Wednesday and only ate like 3 pieces of toast and only left my bed to pee. Still struggling 13 days in, every day hoping tomorrow will be better. The mental side is just as brutal.
