  1. Trouble with toe side, need advice

    Bueler, one thing I would recommend is hooking up with some local carvers to look at and assess your technique and set up. If you ride Mtn High you migh want to give Slopestar or George S a private message. If you ride at BBL. myself or Terryw might be able to lend some tips

    The guys I mentioned are all accomished carvers, Slopestar rides softies but he can rip. Let us know by posting on the ride board when and where you're going

  10. Burton Winds, 27.5 size

    in For Sale

    Posted · Edited by oldvolvosrule

    Selling off a pair of Burton Winds that I have had as a back up pair of boots.I purchased these boots new many years ago and only used them a few times before upgrading to Deeluxe boots. I kept them around in case one of my friends wanted to try hardbooting but no one ever inquired. They have seen zero use over the last 6 years. I did put a piece of duct tape on the liner to keep the cuff pivot of the shell from wearing into the liner. Liners are in great shape and the shells are also except for a 1/2" tear in the inner cuff (red) on the right boot. It completely is hidden by the tongue of the shell so I couldn't get a picture of it. Lots of life left in these boots or buy them for backups to a pair of Wind boots that you might have.

    I ride a Rossi World Cup 190 cm and I am at 185 lbs currently and can bend the Rossi into some tight arcs at my weight. Just have to commit to the carve and not slarve. Get that board in and out of the fall line as quickly as possible depending on steepness of the run.

    I know at your weight and length of board you should be bending it into some tight arcs. Work on technique and controlling speed on steeper runs.

    BTW, I ride mostly at Summit although this year hasn't been too favorable for me getting up there

  17. Looking for tips on carving boards and how to turn...

    Where are you in California? I would suggest finding out where the other riders/carvers are and ride with them. People who are experienced can quickly point out any flaws in your technique quickly.

    Like BlueB mentioned, I would forget about euro carving until you can perfect your technique at regular? carving. When you start leaving a thin deep rut across the fall line on toe and heel side then maybe you can begin to blend some EC Into your riding.

    Also, you need a fairly steep run for euro carving as there is much drag created by your body sliding on the snow.

    I live in SoCal and there is a large carving community that rides at the local resorts. Many are accomplished carvers and are very helpful with carving tips

  18. Mtn Bike Suspension

    in The Lodge

    When you say 'suspension' are you referring to the front and rear shock or all the rear pivots? Like Allee suggests its best to have some knowledgable person rebuild the front and rear shock but as for the pivot bearings those easily replaceable by a garage mechanic. I have done a few bearing/bushing replacements using various size sockets from your tool box and a vise with brass jaw plates to protect your frame.
