    Posted · Edited by jburrill

    Donek REV 163 (new last december) black carbonium topsheet with Donek F plate. Excellent condition with stone grind and race tune. $950 with plate. $750 w/o plate. I recommend using the plate.

    SG titanal 185. Black from 2 yrs ago but bought new from Fin last yr as backup board. Excellent condition with stonegrind and race tune. $750

    SG 163. SOLD

    Also! SG pro team 180 (last yrs grey w/ red). Excellent condition. $1000.

    All of these were tuned and waxed after each use and should need no tuning or wax. They are good to go.

  8. Donek rev 185

    in For Sale

    For sale. Donek Rev 185 with UPM inserts. New this November. Black Carbonium topsheet. Rated stiff. Good with or without a plate. I used the new Donek FPlate on this. 10-12 full days on this board. It has a nice stonegrind from BestTunes Bethel Maine. I put a one degree base and three degree side bevel on it. Right now its in mint condition (other than plate marks) and one little scuff on the rear topsheet edge from loading the lift but in otherwise great condition and ready to go. I waxed with Swix base prep and a few coats of CH7 with a final coat of CH6 and buffed. This board is super fast and has lots of horsepower. $850.00 plus shipping.

    USASA has plenty of regional races all season long. The problem is; we dont get enough competitors at each event now. And we are facing the possibility of getting some races eliminated due to lack of participation. I think that USASA New England for example should re-think the schedule and put on regional championships instead of individual series races (such as Maine Mt Series, New Hampshire series ect). If we all were to gather for a regional race, we'd have quite a few great competitors at hand for a more exciting race day. Maybe they could at least put on a regional championship just before nationals, or something like that. USASA could put on three different regional races in New England for example. One in Maine, one in NH and one in Vt perhaps. Each one could be a GS on Saturday and SL on Sunday. Or, if USSA were to somehow cooperate with USASA to create a new integrated series that shares the same membership? That way, new competitors could easily progress along the pipeline to FIS events more smoothly.

  13. USASA Nationals - who's going and which class?

    Great idea Sean. Practice day is March 31. The GS and SL course will be open for practice from 8-3. That would be a great time for demo's. There will be plenty of time for multiple practice runs on different boards. An excellent opportunity to test race boards in a race course. Definately would love to test out a new REV 185.

    I have heard from Bomber that a number of people attending Nationals have asked to borrow boards for their race. While both of us would prefer not to have demos sitting at the top of the course not being demoed, I have a bit of a solution. I do have a few 185 rev prototypes on hand still, so I will ensure that I have them in the tent. These boards will be made available to individuals wishing to race on them and of course can be purchased during the event. I will not take sign ups for them, they will be lent out on a first come first served basis though. With luck we will have enough on hand for those wishing to borrow a board for their race.

  18. SG delamination repair?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Well well well. Looks like Im not the only one. I thought maybe I was snowboarding the wrong way or something. Or, perhaps I had "mishandled" my race board. Or, disrespected the establishment. Maybe I just overtightened my screws. Or carved too hard. Can a person carve too hard? The other day some guy came up to me and asked: Carving hard? and I just said; hardly carving. I was on a titanal board and didnt want to over do it. Ha Ha. I figured out how to fix a delam like the one that occurred on my first titanal board. I have a feeling it may have already been slightly damaged when I bought it. Either way, I finshed the damage and delamed the front inserts. I sent the board to SG but it got caught up in customs and wound up back on my doorstep after traveling to Austria.

    So, I let it sit for a while and finally purchased inserts and counter sink bit from SVST. I set my bomber disk on the board and drilled pilot holes in between the extisting inserts right through the base. Then counter sunk with the custom drill bit through the base and into the core. Pounded the inserts in with some epoxy and screwed on my bindings. Done. A titanal/core/insert sandwich. This worked because in this board, the inserts are set not on the bottom but middle of the core. This is why I think they delam easily. There is room for inserts underneath the existing ones if you set them in between. If you can spot the delam in time you can fix it. (This should be the point where all the safety bull crap begins). My friend also fixed a broken Kessler the same way. Then went out and defeated me on it. So, I guess it worked for him too. Not a 100% fix but a way to salvage an otherwise dead board. If the surrounding titanal is damaged there will be sort of a dead spot in the area of the binding. The sooner you Identify any damage the better chance of repairing the damage.

    I was mad that my SG board delaminated so what did I do? Complained for a while and then bought another SG board. Its fine. I use Sidewinders with yellow bases. The board and binding combo are both soft and smooth and comfortable. They work. And at this point, I dont think its going to fail. Im confident my other new SG slalom board will hold up as well. Unless I "mishandle" the board. After owning 4 different titanal boards, I will not look back. Im certainly willing to take the risk of board failure for the pleasure of riding a titanal board.

    And yeah, Bordy is right on. Mixing 20 yrs of technology is risky at best. TD1's are for old school boards. TD3's are for new school boards. Then again, my never been used Burton Furnaces are working great for $85.00 except for that damn plastic walking mechanism (gone) and the canting bolt on the ankle (loose) and those liners (crap). Nothing T-bolts and foam liners didnt fix. My advice to Mr. TD1 is to buy some new bindings and a new SG. He may be able to fix that delam but its probably too severe. I dont think they will warranty the board. I dont know if he was stupid, maybe just uninformed. Stupid is assuming others will look out for you on a crowded OR empty slope. Now theres a thread!

  24. Carvers WORST NIGHTMARE!!!

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    When carvers go out and make turns thinking they have the right of way and don't check up hill all the time? Well that's just extremely stupid. Assuming all other traffic will just pull over for you is also stupid. Its like people using crosswalks without looking because they think they have the right of way. Take some responsibility and check up hill for gods sake. Carvers have the responsibility to look out for traffic behind them. Hope nobody gets hit today.
