No, the first pictures are Ed's.

I marked her as mine today (and all my other boards). I suggest you all do the same.

I am very much, but I will probably forget by then being that it is 10 months away. I will have a bunch more days on my board by then as I already have it in my calendar to purchase a Sun Peaks seasons pass by June 30 to get a discount. Can you send me some more info on it or post up a thread in the BC section so that we can all chime in? And yes, t-shirt, shorts, and these...

HAHA, more like 4-somes

Email responded to and Paypal request sent. Sold pending payment.

Oh, that would fall on my ladies head (or mine) during some playtime. I hope you have that secured tightly up there :)

Bindings removed and driver's license punched into all 5 boards tonight while wearing my new motorcycle boots.

I bought these boots from NoSlide earlier this year: http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=29711&highlight=burton+wind The boots were 100% NOS, but the liners were not. This was no fault of NoSlide as he didn't check them as they were given to him as brand new. The left toe has been sliced and covered up with duct tape. He is a VERY standup guy and refunded the complete purchase price to allow me to go by new liners. I only paid for shipping and have used the original liners. I have ridden them 4 days this year and love hard boots, but these are not the right ones for me. Therefore, I didn't buy new liners. If you have narrow feet and small calves then these will be the ticket. Ok, so here is the deal In an attempt to pay it forward, I am offering these boots for only the price of shipping. I would prefer to send these to someone that wants to try out hard booting so that it won't be quite an expensive venture. I know that this might be a stretch, but one can hope. Now before you ask, shipping from Florida to my house in BC via USPS was $40 USD this week. My Head Stratos Pros should be here soon, these boots will be about the same. Shipping to the US will be via CanadaPost so that you aren't charged the outrageous brokerage fees by the "big" couriers. Shipping within Canada is ladies choice...

I will, but the season just ended yesterday ;)

Thanks Buell. My local mountain closes next weekend and I am bringing out my dual-sport motorcycle, so everything will have to wait until next year.

I am 215 lbs right out of the shower. With full gear and clothes, probably closer to 230 lbs. I had no problems carving it over harder when I wanted to. I could make easy turns or dig it right in and turn sharp. Adjusting the binding angles again could have helped, but I was wiped. The problem was the speed. The snow (ice) isn't forgiving at all and I would have too much speed to fast, and it was hard to burn off as skidding didn't work, I just kept up the same speed. Then the downward edge would grab and down I would go. I did hit about 100 ft of softer non-groomed snow and it felt really nice. It was only about 2" deep, so more of that would have helped. Once I get my "new to me" Head Stratos Pro in 1 shell sizer than now, I should be able to set my angles back to 45/40, which will really help. I also have a 3 degree disc for the rear which will also help.

So I rode it today, on nothing but ice. It only carved in about an inch, no matter what run I was on. I adjusted the bindings after each run and in a great show of stupidity, managed to give myself heel lift on my front foot for one run. That didn't end well, total frontside edge highside, landing on the back of my head. Helmet and board both ok, body going to hot tub and chiropractor... so...back to the board. I also had the angles set too high, 55/50, which was giving me front knee pain whenever I initiated a frontside carve. When I could make it carve, it held on for miles. It is super fast and stiff compared to what I am used to. Carving seemed easy, but skidding was difficult. I am worried that I picked the wrong board and should have gone with an ATV instead to make it a bit easier starting out. I am not used to such stiff boards, but I am sure a better fitting pair of boots and some soft snow will make all of that go away next season. Boots on the way, now to find a local(ish) reputable fitter. ...and my abs are killing me...apparently my others boards were way to easy for me to turn. Hello ice.. Parking lot adjustments

BOYS! Relax! No worries on the board length or rack width. The short boards look funny on the rack due to the 48" span as I wanted the uprights mounted to the studs. At 36", it wouldn't have been enough to hold the long board properly, which is the $$$ one. Thanks for the email lowrider all is well. I ran the 179 today on what appeared to be soft ice from the chair. In fact, it was just plain old hard ice. it runs well and true, hard to skid, but I am still figuring out what angles to run on it. My season is done, more to come next year.

Yes, those are brand new boots. I bought some Head Stratos Pro 26.5 yesterday for $125 and will give them a shot. The 26 and 26.5 use the same shell, but different liner and footbed, so I should be able to make it work. Find ing a relatively close boot fitter would help too. If they don't fit, then I will take a run down to Osoyoos and see if I can try on a pair of UPZ with Dan before I drop $630 CAD (after tax) on a pair of boots that might fit.

:P I just started with hardboots this year. top to bottom -159 -160 -142 -179 -143

I can't bend the rack as they are the metal brackets used for shelving with 1/2 pipe insulation on them. I got the idea from a forum search. It was $40 total and will work for now. I will make something else for around the garage for old boards that are no longer in use, but this got them all off the floor quickly.

Boots sold to me :D

Wow, that is a loooooong way from Sun Peaks.

Where do you live?

I will be up on Monday April 5th riding the new 4WD 179. I am sure I will get to try it out on ice... See you there!

I was tired of leaning them against the wall...room to grow :) The Morrow is going up on my work classifieds on Tuesday. The wife has no use for it anymore since I bought her a new board and step-in soft bindings this year.

Looking for a set of UPZ RC10 26-26.5mp boots. Thanks.

I have a 0 disc and a 3 disc. I bought them about 5 weeks ago and have used them 4 times. I bought them to try plates and love it, therefore, I am selling them as I will be getting TD3 Sidewinders. I ordered new springs for the rear bails, but they haven't arrived yet. They will be included. I bought them from another user here for $200 USD plus shipping, which is what I would like to get for them. http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=29656 You can see them mounted on my board below.

I will be selling my TD2 bindings after this weekend.

Sweet! Because I am looking at boots next I think I saw, Deeluxe, UPZ, Head, and Dalbello on their feet.
