Assume that you are speaking from the standpoint of miserable suffering?

Like the man said.

ducky!

Real first world problem Solution doesn’t seem hard Barry: change the date of the Japan trip and do both ?

Hi SJ. Bomber online's store is open again and the price of new TD3 standards is the same as what you are asking. I have been talking to several potential sellers at prices for similar condition TD3s (long not short) at $150 - 200. http://bomberonline.3dcartstores.com/

Well so much for m y snowboard slippers thanx for the tech update

Just came across the article below. Finally a snowboard that could keep your feet warm ? ? Seriously this could be interesting in the future. https://asbmag.com/firewire-to-release-exclusive-woolite-surfboard/

As a follow up to @daveo‘a What Tuning Gear do you use I am curious what waxes are being used when. I recently received my Wax Whizard so practices are about to change. i have looked through the various Topics but there doesn’t seem to be anything wax focused that is relatively recent. There are various places where waxes are identified but nothing consolidated.

Great looking collections Sandy! Very tempted but saying no coz i have more than blown my 2018 budget. I am guessing that this will not last long ?

wow that was quick!!!

Hi W7 Wanted to thank you for the inspiration. Below are pics of my build. 2 new boards pending.

sigh .... c'mooooon snow!!!

For me the switching thing becomes problematic when I am exposed to something unexpected requiring a quick response - deepest muscle memory kicks in and things can become confusing quickly

So back to the original thread: John are you going to post your stuff here or not?

Many members don't like links to ebay so you are better off posting the carve specific stuff here.

Interested in the TD3s if you will separate them - price?

I remember talking to an American carver in Zermatt in '93 who was saying that a shift in the hips would negate the need for an asym board ...

no snow ins sight and seeing the knee scalpel in 10 days

Great thread and awesome articulation Jack! I learned to ski at the age of 33 and taught myself to snowboard the same year. I realized immediately that I was too old to excel at both so went with snowboarding which my water sports allowed me to relate to easier. In Switzerland at the time there were no parks or pipes and my first board was a burton alpine board which I used with my ski boots. Most of the Swiss pistes were groomed and speed appealed. Even when I started using a freestyle board while teaching i was in an alpine stance and progression to a racing board was inevitable. My defining moment was in Zermatt on a lift watching somebody carving lazy turns below my lift. I spent the next month working on trying to get on the edge and stay there (with that crazy sense of sudden acceleration when it went right) and from there it progressed to videos and magazines for instructions and guidance. Like so many have stated above there is a focus and freedom I experience while carving that allows me to live in the moment only, whether working on technique or pushing my boundaries. Finding this forum rekindled my passion and has pushed me back into the sport that satisfies me like few others.

Interesting fact! I was discussing same with a colleague and mentioned that (I believe) that hard carving can result in several g's of force and the source of my information was challenged. Anybody have any fact based stats for g's bulled in a hard carving turn? Happy to take this to a separate thread if required.

Reading this thread it seems that the amount of protective armor worn is a function of personal experience.
