Just ordered mine. $40 shipped..are you kidding? It's a no-brainer. I already sent the link to my friends, I think these will be a big hit if they perform only half as well as advertised.

This board was custom made for me in Feb 2010 and has a 26mm waist rather than the usual 25.5. It's been ridden about 25 days. It has some minor scratches on the topsheet and small scrapes on the sidewall (see photos) The base is in very good condition with only a couple minor scratches. Length 164 Sidecut 9.1 Waist 26 $325 plus shipping Thanks Ken

44 yrs old and from Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Chalk one up for East Coasters!! Awesome!!!!

Sweet Vid Mark! Thanks Again for setting up this session, Great Job!!!! I hope to do it again next year. Too bad we didn't get a shot of me doing my new "Flying Dutchman" aerial maneuver!!! However, I decided to omit that one from my "Bag O Tricks" until I work out the kinks and perfect it so I can really dazzle everyone! Ken

Hey Scrapster, I have a pair of medium 08 Burton Cartels if you are interested Ken

I got this, "Your administrator has disabled private messaging." you can email me at kennym1210 at hotmail dot com Thanks Ken

No problem with all the Q's, I have lots of them too as I am just learning how to carve (see some of my posts). I weigh 170 lbs and angles are about 35/47. I have only been on one other board in hardboots, so I really don't have a basis for comparison. Last year I was using Salomon Malamutes with Nidecker Carbon 900 bindings, no doubt that the hardboots are way more responsive! I would suggest to put your Hb's on and try it. Ken

Count me in for both days and I would like to reserve a PB 158 Two. Thanks!

Yes, Joerg is a great guy! Also, everyone who attended the trip was uber cool and welcoming to me. That not only included Joerg and the Pureboarding Crew, but also the guys from Carversparadise.com and every individual there. All of them made for a very fun trip! For most of them their native language is German, however when I was around every single person went out of their way to speak in English for my benefit. That to me is quite impressive! Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the SES this year. However, I might be in Aspen for PureBoarding's March-April trip.

I am riding my Razor with UPZ RC10's and Snowpro bindings now. No problems yet.

Hello, I live in NYC and have been riding for the last 9 years in my softboots. I never once had the desire or inclination to “Hit The Park” and I always loved cruising the wide blue runs. Unfortunately, last January I hit a plateau because I was no longer having fun just cruising down the blues. It became routine and boring..I needed something more...I just didn't know what it was. I guess like many people, I started watching videos on Youtube and saw these guys doing “Extreme Carving” with their bodies laying on the snow while doing these beautiful carves. Yea, that's the ticket! If I can only learn how to do that. OK, I have a mission. Now comes the hard part, finding information on how to actually do this. After scouring the web and coming upon Bomberonline, I read every single article, post and watched every single video. I switched the bindings on my board for alpine riding and set off down the slope trying to figure this thing out for myself. After all, I snowboard, surf and wake-board...how hard can it be??? hahaha Self Realization Points: This is Friggin harder than it looks! No matter how many “How To” articles I read, it ain’t helping. Being on the bunny slope with all the 5-6 yr old kids flying past me while my friends are on the blues and blacks isn't exactly boosting my ego and confidence. Wow, I really suck at this! Time for some professional one on one help. Enter PureBoarding During my surfing the web for instruction, I came a cross the Pureboarding website which listed their “Learn To Carve Camps” in Europe. They were offering a snowboard carving school in Kaunertal, Austria May 5-9 2010. The camp would include lift tickets, equipment, food, lodging and full day instruction for 3 days for a very reasonable price. After doing some research on Bomber, I emailed Joerg Egli (The head of Pureboarding) asking him about his carving school. I had 50 questions for Joerg about the trip, which he answered all of very thoroughly. He finally said, just relax and come...you're going to love it! I booked my trip and Joerg set up everything for when I arrived in Austria. After meeting the Pureboarding crew Thursday night and getting some off-slope instruction from Joerg and the others (about 25 people of all ages), we head up to the glacier Friday morning to carve. I was very nervous and anxious the first day. All of my previous attempts to carve failed miserably and snowboarding in hardboots for the first time didn't add to my comfort level. However, Joerg has a very chill attitude and told me to just relax, “Surf The Snow” and most of all, have fun! After following me down the slope to evaluate my carving (or lack thereof) Joerg started with his one to one instruction. We spent the entire day going up, coming down and learning to carve. Joerg has a very observant eye and is an excellent instructor. He is very good at determining an individual's physical limit and pushes one gently to that limit. He is very serious about carving and does not accept mediocrity, it needs to be done the right way! On the other hand, knowing where a persons limit is, he does not try to push you out of your personal comfort zone. He truly has perfected the balance of pushing to the limit and knowing when to back off. Joerg has an Extreme amount of Stoke and Passion for the sport of carving and is more than willing to share his knowledge and experience with anyone who is eager to learn. All he asks is that you bring a willingness to learn and good vibes. For the reason of carving is about learning and having fun with good friends. After spending 3 days with Joerg and the crew, I finally have a bit of confidence in my ability to learn how to carve. Don't get me wrong...I still have a long, long way to go. The big difference now is that I do have that little bit of confidence and I found another level of enjoyment to snowboarding, it's become fun again! Do I still suck at carving? You Betcha! However, I'm smiling again and having lots of fun on the slopes. For me, that's what it's all about! The reason for my writing this is to hopefully give some new carvers out there a possible starting point to learn to carve in hardboots. Let's face it, it's almost impossible for a beginner to get the equipment and instruction to learn and Pureboarding's Camps are definitely one way to go about doing this. Pureboarding.com offers their Carving Schools in Europe, Aspen, CO and Berkshire East, MA. I Highly suggest that if someone has an interest in learning how to carve, you will not go wrong if you attend one of their camps. I did and it was the best trip I ever had! Ken For those of you not familiar with their carving style here's a link to a video http://www.pureboarding.com/index.php?id=the-eagle-has-landed&L=1

Thanks for the input. I emailed joerg and he has been very helpfull in setting it all up. I will be going to kaunertal on may 5. This will be my first time riding in hardboots. Hopefully I will get lucky and all will go well! Ken

I would like to know if anyone has any info/experience regarding Pureboarding's Carve Camps. I believe they are holding one in Kaunertal, Austria in May 2010. Although I have Never rode in hardboots, I have decided to give it a try. Just need some guidance and handholding. Now that the season is over in the US, it appears I will have to do a bit of travel. I have a some air miles and vacay time and am debating whether this or South America would be the best bet. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ken

Thanks Geoffv and queequeg. Looks like I should be able to attend monday, but for just one day. That should be better than nothing. Look forward to meeting everyone!

Thanks for the offers, Actually I have met Ron the Carvefather and he did offer to ride with me. However, my schedule has been hectic and I haven't been able meet up with him. My situation is this: I'll be at Okemo this weekend with a group of skiers/skidding riders and I will be alone in trying to learn my carving. I am just looking for someone for this weekend only so I wont have to flounder the entire 2 days. My plan is to go upstate NY (have friends condo in Jewett near hunter/windham) on thurs pm and maybe ride on fri at hunter and drive to okemo fri afternoon. This is all subject to change as I just looked at the weather it's looking like 20-30 inches of fresh snow by sat am!! I appreciate the offer to ride with you guys and would love to take you up on it. thanks!! I'm headed to Park City on 3/10 for a week so my time upstate is limited until then. If all else fails.. I might just have to suck it up and cash in a sick day and go to the ECES on monday at stratton! Thank you very much, Ken
