  1. bow legged=outward cant on rear leg

    in Carving Central

    If you can I would get a set of 0* and 3* and play around with them, as others have said you can't always go by the guide.  

     

    An inward cant might allow you to power the board to flex a little bit more, thus reducing turn radius.  If you run a plate that theory goes out the door and you have to rely on weight alone to do that.

  6. Wanted 29.5 Boots + Board And Bindings

    I have a pair of Track 700's (the newer version) liner is M29 and shell is 29.5. They are in great shape save for a few scuffs. The liners have been molded twice, and come with mold-able inserts.

    I'm asking around $300 but could drop that a bit as I need them gone.

    Send me a PM through the system and I can send you pictures.

  12. L/XL Burton CO2s-Pass as New

    in For Sale

    Posted

    Used these for Nationals + about a week of riding last year, so about 12-14 days total. Color is red/ white, I have an identical pair so not much reason to keep these...

    I know CO2s have been discontinued so it won't be long before they're scarce. Lowest price I could find online was $230. I'll sell them for $200 and might even split shipping :biggthump

    They look like this...

  15. How Old Are You?

    Which would have you starting back around 1997 prior to Burton leaving the market, when equipment was still available.

    If you started at 17 in '97 did you come in as a racer or a carver? I started hardbooting as a freecarver in '94 at 24, mostly because I saw films with Peter and Jean eurocarving. People and kids today don't see that kind of imagery in modern snowboarding videos. Yes carving videos exist if you are specifically looking on youtube and vimeo, but hardboot carving isn't presented in a video alongside mainstream snowboarding so most people never see it or make the connection.

    It would be interesting to know how many of the younger riders who voted ride HB because they are primarily carvers or primarily racers.

    Racer here, only got into it for that reason. Same goes for 99% of the Maine HB'ers under 18.

  21. WTB MP 28.5 or 28 Hard shell carving boots

    15 year ski racer who crossed over because there's just not that much to amuse you in Ontario if you're not racing or coaching.

    started out by buying a used board off one of the other coaches and using my too-upright, stiffness-reinforced ski boots which was a bit of a challenge. bought a pair of old raichle's that worked okay until the gf left them on the heater at the end of last season

    looking for a pair of mid level carving boots in 28.5, could probably squeeze into a 28 if they fit a little big (10.5 shoe size).

    let me know what you have and the cost, shipped to Toronto

    can email me at will underscore mercer at hot mail dot com

    I have a set of 29 Track 700s, the new style, same as 2012 model. Tag size 29M/10.5US. I wear a 12 shoe, they can be molded 3 more times.

    I could get them to you for $350 shipped, you cover customs fees. Feel free to email me through the site.
