Sold to me! Think SNOW!!

Interested. do you still have them? How much to ship to 12546 PM email or post here please. I'd imagine they'd fit in one of those standard USPS boxes. TIA

Hey all. I just got this board for crusin' around. I love it so far. Still getting used to riding a deck again. its been nearly 20years! i'm not all that stable yet going down small hills but on the flats and low pitch hills i feel like it carves rather well. I feel like the bushings could be harder but i'm going to wait on that till i have a few more days on them. Wheels are 87a's and are very gripy even in the wet as we havn't had many dry days since i got the deck. I went ahead and ordered some 97a's (which i understand are super hard) so i can get used to sliding again. girlfriend's mama glad i just had my 14th birthday..

cool vids. your stance in that first vid is crazy.

$80 shipped.

rip it up!!

The ones that i see. Where did i say everyone? I'm not some purist. I'll shred the hill infront of your house all day with no problems.

why can't i just post a smiley? :D

The mountain where i work everyday. Hard booters there are few. I actually met one of this sites members there, we can exclude him, (Catamount Ski and Ride area) and from what i've seen of the others its just skidding and people are afraid to tip the thing over. When i see some one with an alpine board i expect to be running into trenches everywhere... no so much from what i see.

wtf? every snowboard made can carve. 90% of the people i see with "hard boots" can't carve and just skid around "looking cool".

OP, have you tried them in a freestyle sort of stance on an freestyle type set up? I think that would be a good test to see if they do what you want them too.

I don't know much about hardboots but this sounds like you've tightened your boots too much and are not pressuring the board properly. just sayin.... My soft set up is Burton Hail (super soft) and CO2s and i can get super high edge angles all through out the turn.

I work at Catamount and will definitely make it up there. See you soon. I'll give you a call first. best, geoff

these people are highly trained and are looking to take advantage of technology. Most people do not do these things so, in some instances, the fundamentals of snowboarding are lost in these technologies. In the end, the board just sits there on the snow and does nothing till you strap it on. If a rider who cannot, lets say carve on a regular all mountain board, will still not be able to carve on a carving specific board. Yes technology can make you faster, floatier or cooler but from what i've seen it cannot make you a better rider. Take a never ever and put him/her on a regular cambered board and with in a couple of hours, depending on the person, can begin to start to make turns. Take the same person and put them on say libtech's skate banana and watch them struggle to keep the board the direction they need it to. I've seen this many times. cheers

ok, now we're getting somewhere. i need sometimes.

Ok. I think i'm going to go with the 28. 27.94 sounds like 28 to me. I gather thats going against what the bomber store says but i guess thats why i'm asking. I don't know of any boot fitters anywhere near me but i'll be at Killington for three days the end of this month for a managment seminar and will be asking around. Anyone with any ideas on a boot fitter up there?

no, i just measured the left, which is a hair bigger than the right. If i go with the 28 do you think my feet will swim or what?

Hey all, I've measured my Mondo size which is exactly 27.94 which is awful close to 28 and i'm wondering (per the directions on this site) whether i should still round down to 27 or should i just go with 28. Probably a redundant question, but i'd like to get the ball rolling with my set up this year. TIA geoff

Lots of good stuff here! My daily rider is a LibTech Skunk Ape. reverse cambered glory. I love it. For me though the technology that is coming out these days seems to be trying to correct poor technique. As an instructor of mostly first-timers it is important to stress technique to them over the latest greatest board technology. I think this translates to more experienced riders when choosing a new board. It would seem easy to just walk into a shop and buy a new board that corrects some issue with riding you've had say, having trouble initiating turns or holding an edge. What it really comes down to is the fact that, the rider (not the board) is making the turns and the technique is still the same. All the tipping, twisting, pressure and pivoting are still there and not going anywhere except down the hill with you. ymmv

please PM price shipped to area code 12546. thanks. geoff

I didn't buy them.
