Wow, what a result so far. For me not a question. Married for 18 years (in June) and we are both carving since ’90. I would stop boarding tomorrow, if she would ask me to. Off course only for a serious reason! So I obviously voted spouse Ray

Selling these Suzuka boots with an extra set of (black) racing tongues. They are in great condition. Choice of Mondo 25.5 Full Flex liner or Mondo 25 Thermo Flex liner (Or both extra $). The toe box of the shell has been professionally punched, so if you have a problem with your big toe(s) hitting the shell of the boot, it’s already fixed! I am usually size Mondo 26 and these fit me perfect. They also come with a modified RAB and a orig. 5 step forward lean mechanism. Modified RAB! BOOTS ARE SOLD !!! Thx Ray

Clocktower is good for drinks and Whiskey Creek has a pretty good Happy Hour too...

Yeah, Anja and I really had fun with all of you

Hey Neil, Have you thought about some places to party yet? Ray

Oh, didn’t even think about it. I haven’t posted for a while, especially after the new forum layout was created. Last thing I want is that people get mad because of a topic which doesn’t belong here ;) So how can I move this post?

Thanks Dave for the info. No big deal going the Redlands route I think. Also means even less people! See ya all tomorrow

No, have some things to do... Also, really not crazy about the MM weekends anymore. To many people Going to MM for the session IF the weather is perfect for carving!

thx, got your mail. We will be there first thing in the morning...

anyone else? Weather and conditions should be really great tomorrow!

Yeah, I heard it was fun Wed/Thursday. Glad you had a great time!

yup, was me (i guess) First out on the Virus, than 4807... and back on to Gladiator... was not really great in my opinion. Mammoth is just getting waaaaay tooooo busy for my taste. I actually think not going there again at weekends unless I know I have really great carving conditions for sure...

They are in absolute great condition… the liner was never used. The springs are EC modified already… They are Mondo 25.5, but the shell can easily fit mondo 265 if the toe box would be punched (Yes, they stretch a full size!). I got them brand new when I bought my SWOARD 3 years ago and never used them after I sold the board… They come as a package with set of proflex (same as F2 Carve RS) bindings. Maybe also seperate... SOLD!!! EC modified springs! Only get em if you are a true EC fanatic... SOLD!!! Ray

I would like to go Wednesday myself, but have my tax appointment

Planning a quick day trip this Thursday... anyone else maybe? Last time we went up there had a blast.

The way it looks, we will join you guys! Looking forward to come to Mammoth... or June, or both. Most important, a good group of people sharing the same passion!!! Ray

yes they can. Especially if you have em sit next to a heater or so ;)

It takes about 4-5 day's off hard riding the get the final flex pattern. You really need to push hard!!! You will feel the changes from day to day... I just rode a Black Death at the SES and during the first day it was very stiff. Now after the 3rd day it's already great!

Hmm, I would say could be a combination of several things, technique, gear set-up, and condition for sure. As soon as you ride “relaxed” you don’t cramp up so much which results in much better muscle performance. Thus less burn. I am not saying ride relaxed by not giving all you have, but by mastering a perfect technique. The better the technique the more relaxed you will ride. If your gear set-up is “off” in terms of what “your” body structure requires you can’t ride relaxed. And if you are out of (boarding) shape you need some more days of riding to get your muscles used to it. My opinion Ray

Ladia, Since you are coming to Aspen I would say the best information would come from Frank himself.

Should be able to send some boards to the ECES, why not I know for sure after the SES Ray

Hans, The Gladiator Zylon is a demo board now. It's currently at the WTC and than at the SES. Not sure it we sell it and how it will look after all the demo days. The “Ultra Carbon” is a new material I am testing in Aspen during the SES. It is different, but can’t tell yet, first have to ride it. Ray

You need to come to the SES !!! Can't post more right now :rolleyes:

Cool board Shred! I hope you come to the SES :) Here are two more pics as a little preview to what's coming to the SES... WCR Race Titanal <img src="http://i1.tinypic.com/mx1mic.jpg" alt="Image hosting by TinyPic"> and the Gladiator "Ultra Carbon" (#1 prototype ) <img src="http://i1.tinypic.com/mx11ue.jpg" alt="Image hosting by TinyPic"> I think we will have 8 boards or so to demo... all at the Bomber tent. Ray

I am with roman on this one. So far for sure the Virus Gladiator Zylon! Will see what's coming next after “Zylon”... hmm, maybe it’s something like "Ultra Carbon", but not sure yet what this material really delivers in practice. Will know during the SES... :D Ray
