  1. I will take it if you will ship to Calgary. Can you send me payment information to sswenson24@hotmail.com. Thanks.
  2. Is this board still for sale? What weight of rider was it built for? Thanks, Steve
  3. Great video Alex. Thanks for posting it. Awesome weekend! Fun riding with you all and look forward to seeing everyone next year. Steve
  4. Thanks Fin. After I posted I was looking on the site and almost ready to order. Hoping the parts can arrive quickly up here in Canada.
  5. Does anybody know where I can get parts for Deeluxe boots? I noticed one of my boots was flexing more than the other last time out and it turns out one of the ankle hinge bolts is gone. The other bolt has the washer broken as well. I can post pics if it will help clarify. I am hoping someone will have a suggestion for me so it won't affect me for NES. Thanks. Steve
  6. Looks like Darcy and Wonser in red but not sure who the third is. The idea of trying some gates is intriguing. I would be in for giving it a go.
  7. I am planning to bring the truck out on Friday so I have room for carpooling if needed as well. North Axe was great last weekend and with the additional snow and warm weather I am really looking forward to getting out again. Safe travels and see you all this weekend.
  8. Found this on Nakiska's Snow Conditions page, could make NES interesting.
  9. I am the same as you riding regular on a board and naturally left foot forward on my mtb. I am not sure if it correlates to your snowboard riding style though, the majority of people I have ridden with mtb left foot forward regardless of which way they snowboard. You might be over-thinking it but now you have me doing it as well. Can bet I will subconsciously note it for the people I ride and bike with. Just like riding switch, it is something that can be learned on a mtb as well. On very long rides that include plenty of descending, people will tend to tire one leg faster since it supports more weight. I had to force myself to learn to ride switch on the bike so that I could conserve energy and strength but it takes time and conscious thought to work at it.
  10. I have the yellow one pictured by the map and don't ride it much so might be persuaded to let it go.
  11. I am definitely in. Intermediate clinic again for me please. Great job last year Corey.
  12. The snow was fantastic. Red Crow was a bit chewed up and rougher than usual but lower Eagle Tail and North Axe were great. The steep pitch on Upper North Axe was not skidded off so even I could get an edge and ride it. Allee cleaned it twice.
  13. I will be there around 9:00-9:30, will watch for you.
  14. Sorry to hear the DB quote was so high. If it still has the stock Manitou Skareb, you should be able to order the fork rebuild kit from Jensonusa.com for about $20. The Swinger SPV 3 might be a bit harder but Jenson might have an after market rebuild kit for it as well. Btw, congrats on a steal of deal. That is a super price for that bike. Cheers
  15. I would suggest Different Bikes in North Van or Republic in Squamish. Both have great reputations and should have the staff to help with shock/fork rebuilds. You could also stop in and talk with them about doing it yourself. Depending on the make and model of the shock/fork you might be able to get a rebuild kit and do it yourself. Pivots and bearings are definitely easy to replace yourself.
