You probably will, resolve it on your own. It's mostly time you need and one day, it will click and your heel side will hook without chatter. But, it could also be equipment, maybe. I assume you don't have any boot overhang. I will be back in LA at the end of the month and heading up to Summit for sure (if the snow is still ok), so we could meet and go ride together... Ride ride ride turn after turn after turn........ Ray

Yea, I remember last year... Left to right: Ray, Frank (From Virus), Elle (obviously!), Anja (my wife) and the guy in the background is Bob Jenney... who didn't quite make it into the picture (sorry Bob!) Ray

...these Germans am telling you... :p Funny, he had no clue about all the nice toys out here... a new world will present himself if he gets to bomberonline...

Frank, no, I have not been in Mammoth or June... We just went back to Aspen and will spend some time here. I am glad I made that decision!!!... But, was planning to go to June in March several times. Well, maybe it will be MM now... Hmm, sad. I really hate MM these days, just to crowded for a good laid out turn. Maybe a day during the week up in Snow Summit will do it as well. Will see. Ray

We are back and would love to go ride with some fellow carvers. Call me 310 951 2171 when you go ride. Ray

WOW!!!!!!! I was still hoping they get a good dump and things turn to the better.

Happy B-DAY!!!!!!!

I have to admit, my favorite watch still is the Rolex Daytona Stainless Steel. Even more like the vintage ones…, but much more expensive as well. Breitling in my opinion makes fantastic watches as well. I think personal taste and budget plays a major role here. I would not buy a replica, ever. I’d rather admit to myself that I can’t afford it at this time… but that’s also just a personal thing.

Quite simple in my opinion. The shorter the board, the more skills and technique is required… When ever I go back to a short board I remember to really use skills, while riding something longer relaxes immensely. But I think it also turns down the level of aggressiveness extremely. I see many people riding very long boards and doing nice long clean cut turns, but somehow missing this extra bite I like so much. It’s like missing the salt in the soup. Just my observation and personal taste. Maybe that’s also because these big boards weigh so much. I don’t know… Anyway, I think, master your skills on a short board and you are the hero on a long plank ;)

Oh, that is already sold. These puppies sell in a matter of hours these days... Keep ya posted how things go. I want more snow... Ray

Hi Guys! We might be up 19 to 21. Hope they get more snow! darn, i don't even have a rock board...

Yea Todd, it needs to snow now while we are gone so when we come back at end of the month it's all down and we have nothing but sunshine in Feb. especially during the SES. :)

Sorry about last night, really had a hard time understanding! Hope you feel better soon. Sure thing, we'll bring lot's of Virus demos to the SES. Ray

Guys, let's get together! Let me know what you up to. Call me 310 951 2171 Ray

That looks more like major rubbing to me. I always thought shin bang is when you bruise the shins due to impact from the tongue/liner… What socks did you use? Do you have excessive room between the shell tongue, liner tongue and your shins?

I am not using this product, nor have I ever tried it, but it might help. http://www.manoove.com/shintronic_info.pp Ray

Yes, already started packing! :)

We have to go to Mammoth for some other business anyway, so depending on how conditions really are, might not even ride at all… going to Aspen on Wednesday for 2 weeks, no need to force it right now.

We are leaving LA very early on Wednesday morning and depending how things will go, be on the mountain Thursday… or for sure Friday… Heard conditions are great for carving! Can't wait!!!

I am a big fan of outward canting, especially the front binding. I only use between one or two degree, but makes a big difference for me. Also have my boot cant (front and rear) set outward… ups, different topic…

THANKS! Again, it's ALWAYS a personal fitting issue. I never really (so far) got my feet comfortable in the DeeLuxe... Ray

I never used the orig liner, so I can’t tell (I ride all my boots with foam injected liners), but lot’s of people in Europe use them and seem quite happy. Always personal opinion. Many people also ride them with Thermo Flex liners... The shell form did not change from last year. They use a slightly softer plastic this year it seems… No, not T-nutted. Only some rivets got exchanged with screws.

Totally forgot, I am mondo 26 and these fit me perfect!

Yup, will be there for sure.

Here they are Ray
