So Moose, I think I can help. I live about an hour south of you, and would be glad to stop by on weekday mornings to pick up the board, head west on I-70, and ... ah ... debug the board for you. Yeah, debug the board, that's what I would do. I'm near your weight too, so I make a perfect crash test dummy test subject. In fact, it might be better if I just pick it up every Monday and return it sometime Friday. Late Friday. Then you could waste your time on the parking lot that I-70 becomes every Saturday enjoy a leisurely drive up into the mountains on I-70 on Saturday morning, and fight the hordes of beginner skiers/boarders have a slow relaxing day on the board after reading my weekly report. I could even stop by and get a demo board or two from Sean, since he's not that far east of you, then I could have a really fun time make some really serious comparisons. I'm guessing it would take, oh, most of the season a few weeks at most to debug the board properly.

I'll take them ... PM sent

Ha ... when I saw the thread title my first thought was: "Someone wants a 3 nano-meter wrench? Wait, what?"

I had the heel guts (lever arm) break two weeks ago ... same end result ... I had to take foot out, use two hex wrenches (just happen to have in my pocket) to push the heel release bars in. Now I'm back to normal binding on that foot ... because I never got around to getting the "inner arm" replacement kit. When Fin gets the store open, I'll buy a few of those and replacement cables too. And I need a bag of those little clips that hold the handles on ... not the handles, not the cable, just those annoying clips.

Interested in TD3 SW Regulars ... PM sent

I'll take the red ones

I'll take them ... zip 80132

Oh come one, it's already March (well almost, and it's a leap year) and there's no HIITLL topic for this season? liftie: Wow, cool, that's gotta be, like, stupid fast me, laughing: Yeah, that's accurate me, pointing at lift operator's panel: So please turn the knob that makes the snow slower

And ... length, waist, SCR, etc?

I'll take the 178

Is that Donek gone?

I'm interested in the 178 if you still have it

Do you know the sidecut radius of these boards? If not, how about the waist width, nose/tail width, and running length? The radius is easy to compute from those measurements.

Would you take $100 + shipping?

Compute the radius this way: Measure the running length, the distance from where the nose touches the floor to where the tail touches, -NOT- all the way from nose to tail. Measure the widest width, this will be right where the nose or tail touches the floor. Measure the waist width, the narrowest width in the middle of the board Measure in millimeters Side cut depth = (widest - narrowest) / 2 Half length = length / 2 So now we have L (half running length) and D (sidecut depth) If your calculator uses radians: R = D + L / tan(PI - 2 * atan(L / D)) where PI is 3.14159265 (expand PI to your heart's content) If your calculator uses degrees: R = D + L / tan(180 - 2 * atan(L / D)) My board has running length 1440mm, nose/tail width 234mm, waist width 190mm So L is 1440/2 or 720, D is (234-190)/2 or 22, and R comes out as 11793mm, or 11.79m, which matches what is on the board

The radius is not difficult to compute, I've done it on my boards and computed the same value as shown on the board. I've got to leave for work right now, but I'll check back tonight and post the equations. Measure the widest parts of the board, at the nose and tail where the board curves up. They should match or be really close. Then measure the narrowest part in the middle. Measure in millimeters.

Would you take $200 + shipping for the board?

I was at the lift-line gate, waiting for another chair to go by to put space between me and the newbies who had problems while loading, and Mr liftie says "Come on out Mr. hardbooter", and then just as the chair sweeps around he says "Alpine, the dark side of snowboarding".

Spring in the Rockies Sounds on soft snow: swish swish THUMP This board goes too fast

This is my wife's first season on an alpine board. She had a rather soft and easy fall a few weeks ago, a toe-side slide out, just just a little sliding bounce. It should not have been a big deal. The problem was that she was wearing a belly-bag with Nalgene water bottle in it. Never again. A cracked rib ended her season. At least she made it down the mountain riding the board. She said it was her best run all season.

Well, a new Ibex plate is $43 from Bomber store, but it only has 4-hole center. How about $30 and I pay shipping? Do you have two? And are they the vaguely hexagonal plates? Looks like this: http://bomberonline.3dcartstores.com/Ibex-7-DEG-Cant_p_42.html

If MTB_DH11 doesn't want the 7-degree plate, I'll take it. Actually, I'll take two if you have them. But since they'll be going on an old Burton, I need the 3-hole center pieces.

Breesej - Thank's for the picture with the board stats Mudbone ... I'll take the board and bindings ... it's just right for my wife

If is hasn't sold, I'm interested. What's the sidecut radius?

They look ok in the picture, but are there any cracks starting? On the tongue maybe? I can't quite see, but are they made from the translucent plastic? Anything broken/missing? I'm interested, but since they're more than a decade old, I don't want any surprises. Thanks.
