Hey D, I have an older (cica 1995) Never Summer 168 Wide that I was going to put of flea bay, and I do have bindings Burton's which are of the same vintage Burton's. I do not have boots though. As a side note I bought a new pair of the Shawn Whites last year and was simply blown away at the weight reduction, fit and comfort differnce from my previous stone age Burtons. Shoot me your email address if you have any interest and I'll get you some pics. Thanks!! Tom

As you said, sounds like the tail is not getting enough pressure mid to end of the turn and the nose is plowing into the end of the turn. Perhaps you are just rotating too deeply and driving your hip late in the turn. Some drills you could try in order to even out pressure if not increase tail pressure are: Try and hopping off of the tail, sort of an ollie, exiting the turn, start with skidded turns and try to progress to full carve. Try to grap the toe edge of your board behind your rear foot with your rear hand on heel sides. Lead hand to heel edge in front of your lead heel on toe sides. Again start slow and skidded, maybe even visualize and practice stationary prior to try it moving. There should be lots of knee bend with this one, some waist but, again start slow and skidded. Ride ride with arms crossed across chest. This will feel completely strange as it will really take you out of your comfort zone, take er' slow at first. Practice short radius turns keeping upperbody static, use hips, knees and legs to initate and complete turns. Often helps to visually pick a downhill point to focus on. Progressively work towards fully carved turns. There are a few more drills and weighting/unweighting positioning discussions on the board here. Dan Bogardus did one I think titled "Your butt and where it should be" that was pretty good and seems aplicable.

Will the ski racing horde continue on sunday?

Up for sale is my Prior ATV 171, it's used but it's in great shape. Many scuffs from normal usage but no major scrapes on gouges, base is in excellent condition. Slathered in summer wax. Solddddd

For sale is a set of Catek Freeride 2 LTD ED. softboot bindings in excellent condition. The limited editions have the Nidecker carbon highbacks, oooh ahhhh. Also included is a bag of spare bolts. *****SOLD*******

I wonder if you could do a thin layer of appropriate epoxy. Try a small test area of resin, warm the base and core with wax iron then and use a hair dryer or heat gun with caution, to get the goo to flow. Seems like at worst you would have a clear wavy area over the spot, sans wet finish and polish. Then you could put a nice b.o. sticker over the area. :)

Time for a new sticker!
