  1. I just did 7 days at Targhee it was pretty tasty. Sun Valley is not so good right now, snowbasin should be good after this next cycle. If you make it to Targhee you should have Kib and Michael from Germany to ride with. Blackfoot Lift is the spot right now at Targhee.
  2. I've had a pass to both Targhee and Sun Valley for several years, both have epic carving/alpine riders, but Sun Valley is on another level. Also, Grand Targhee Resort is in Alta Wyoming, which is very close to Idaho on most maps.
  3. I will be riding on Saturday, maybe I'll run into you.
  4. New P-tex and Orange top sheet V-cam Nirvana 178. Can't wait to ride it..
  5. Sounds like a fun event. I'll plan on attending on Sunday and Monday.
  6. I got some of the Prinoth Beasts finely manicured offerings last Saturday through Monday. Its been along while since i've seen Baldy looking that fine this time of year. Nice little snow cycle there last week. I'll be back up there as soon as my new Coiler arrives. Hurry Bruce, I'm having trouble waiting.
  7. I train and race for those stupid ultra endurance mtn bike events. It's great for tracking my training total time and vertical gained. This is one of my better years with 430hrs and 463k of elevation gain. It's also a good way to track and give friends a hard time when they go out for a 1hr 2k ride.
  8. Sunsurfer, Please tell me a little bit about the plate setup on the Riot. I love the supercarve, but i need to figure out a way to widen my stance with the narrow 4x4 pattern on the board. Thanks
  9. Is that garbage man, Florida Fred in the yellow pants? Love the submerged series of shots. I think my BOL avatar was shot on Sitka.
  10. My Wife & I just did the stay & carve/ski free at the Targhee Lodge. Worked out awesome, love that mountain. Sorry to tread jack, but on my last day wed 2/5 i did a few runs with a tall guy on a Coiler. He said he was house sitting just down the mountain. anyways, the last run i got out front of him a little ways & introduced myself to a rather large Fir tree. Fortunately for me i hit chest first, but i was off the run anyways so the Coiler rider rode by me. I got a painful ride to Driggs in an ambulance, then to a hospital in Id Falls in a helicopter. Anyone know what Coiler Man's name is? Please let him know i'm going to be alright & back tearing it up soon. Wish my wife & i could make it over for C.O.W. Jeff
  11. After 6 years of me pushing her, shes got her carve on.
  12. I'm older and in good shape so i like to go top to bottom. For me it's a perpetual, flowing rhythm that i have a hard time interrupting by stopping (i do the same with motocross and cyclocross/mtn biking). If i stop, it wastes 3-4 turns before i'm back in the groove. I also Que up a good song on the ipod when i get off the lift. I unfortunately for most, sing my music selection a bit loud while i'm riding, which makes for good entertainment for the people riding the lifts. The no stopping means most of the time i ride by myself, which i like (if my wife is reading-she is also a strong carver and i like riding best with her:1luvu:). This is the way i like to ride--not trying to wienie joist with anyone here. I just love carving. Sorry for writing a autobiography.
  13. I have two sets of the Asterisk's, one for Motocross 3 days a week and another for use when carving. I've had 3 ACL replacements in the last four years, so i'm very committed to the braces. I don't find the lace system bad at all, you can unclip the fasteners at the back of the brace without loosening the laces much. The next time you go to put the braces on there is very little tightening to do to make them snug and comfortable. One other features that i like is they now come in a few pretty colors (ha) and also for $10 a pair you can replace the hinge stops, which is something you would want to inspect often. Hope this helps.
  14. Email sent to both Nick and bjvircks, i actually need two 3 degree cant/disks for my two 6 degrees ones. Thanks-
  15. I have a TD2 6 degree and i need a 3 degree. let me know if your still looking. Thanks-

  18. ...a place where pickups all have a dog, a gun, and 4wheel drive 'cause snow happens And no seat belt law, because if you are in a collision, the gun rack's gonna get you in the back of the head and finish you off.
  19. interested in the bindings-- what are the degree of the cants and what are you asking for them? Thanks
  20. Sorry- Swissracer is the owner of the 29's--- Thanks--
  21. 166- board specs Effective Edge--146cm Nose--23.5cm Waist--19cm Tail--23.5cm Sidecut Radius--10.7M
  22. Laxmack I can take some more pictures and get the measurements if you like, but not until Sunday afternoon. I see you are looking at the other Rossi and like it this one has a 10.7 radius.
  23. I have those two boards-- I believe the Accelerator is a 8.5 radius and the Race is a 10.7 radius. I could be wrong those numbers where stored really far back in my brain.
  24. Warm Springs @ Sun Valley is 3240' of sweetness!
