  1. Hey Massachusetts, I am local to you. I would agree with the above poster on those bindings, as I have a pair, and can see their weak points (were a gift as spare parts to me). I chose not to put them on my kids board for that reason. I don't know much about the board, but Burton and F2 have bindings all over this site and if you ever get hard up, I have an extra Burton set as well. Inexpensive and will prevent a bad day. Post if you are ever up at the White mountains as I would be interested in seeing that thing ride.

    Game On !

    Man that's pretty....
  3. Nice! Makes us young whiper snappers at 47 feel like children as we play with our toy alpine boards......
  4. heh, yea, a starting price or ballpark would be cool. It does have some sweet views, and from what I have heard, over 1000' vertical isn't bad for a Canadian mountain. I however, would be only a dreamer and not a prospect....
  5. My Son is 10 now. He loves hard booting, and GS is his thing. I was blessed last year to have a friend help me with him, and teach him. We are out of NH and the white mountains are our playground. Last year he took first in his class for EICSL and 16'th in the USASA at Copper. (Fantastic people at the Donek tent, especially Jim) I am now trying to figure the best place to put him for this upcoming season. I am not looking for any favors here with this post, but more just trying to compile all of his options so I can make the best decision. Waterville has a well known program. They seem to do well in the races and they seem to have good coaches. Their program, however, requires volunteer work, which would prevent me from also racing this year, as my wife and I both work. Loon seems to have a program, but I haven't heard much about it, and it is extremely expensive. Are their other snowboard teams in near the White Mountains in NH? Are their coaches / trainers who freelance and who's specialty is hard booting and GS? I appreciate any advise and I thank all who reply in advance.
  6. TD3's are so nice. They adjust easily... just a very nice design....
  7. Thank you for this video. I have a 9 year old whom I have spent a number of hours trying to instill this very concept. There have been days where I pulled him from the mountain with the threat of leaving if he didn't use "spacial awareness"... I will say that not all parents or instructors have instilled this, and I thank a well respected name such as yours for pointing this out. Keep shredding and we all love the videos.
  8. Thank you all for the great advise. I will look into these suggestions and continue to work with my kid. Boarding is truly one of the great joys in life and I am glad my kid caught the bug.
  9. My son started GS racing this year (He's 9). I put him in hard boots and found him (here on Bomber) a A145 board, and he has been ripping it. He has a great mentor who has been training him, and has made great progress due to the training. The issue I am seeing slowly creeping up is mentally, disruptions like this past weekend can play havoc with him and so I think (and have been advised) putting him in a more group atmosphere with team support might be the best for him. I am wondering if anyone has any advise on which mountains have the best weekend programs and coaching. I don't want to put him in school (weekday grade school) , but can dedicate the weekends and vacations as needed. He is extremely into the sport, and likes the speed of GS / SL / Boardercross so I am looking for a program that isn't focused on the park or freestyle. Any experiences and thoughts are appreciated, as I have looked at Loon and Waterville Valley, and each has there respective advantages and disadvantages.... Thanks in advance..
  10. Is this stuff still available? Email me at fsmith@techwiki.info if it is please... Thank you..
  11. can we chat after 4:30 EST today? I would like pair 2 if available..... Do you take PayPal or what would you need, as these would be going to 01821? email me at fsmith@techwiki.info and lets set up a call for all the details, if we could please. Thanks,
  12. Thank you all. I have located and purchased boots for my son .... thanks again for all
  13. It didn't take my last reply... I apologized for looking at the wrong chart... 24 will do as he is in a 23...
  14. Thank you, I truly appreciate it. My son needs the 25 though as he is in a 24 soft now that is getting tight.
  15. Any chance anyone's kid has grown out of a set of hard boots around size M23 or 5 US?
  16. I reached out and ping'd him, but have yet to receive a reply. If you know him, or if there is a better way to reach him, can you share this info with me? The Bindings may be a bit small for my son, but I am sure I can find a set as I will be looking for boots for him as well. Thank you for the reply though.
  17. I am also interested. What size boots fit this? Can you private msg me and we can do this quickly
  18. I am interested in a carving board for my son. I need it 148 or less please. He is moving into a size 5 boot. I would be interested in boots as well if someone had it all. Thank you.
  19. Is this board still available? I am interested in it. If it is, please email me at fsmith@techwiki.info. Thanks ..
