This thing is beautiful !! Donek Saber 169cm length 20cm waist Sidcut Radius 10m-13m Can't wait to ride it this week.

I was just kidding because if I had a regular cast I would be way to tempted to go out riding! Good luck and heal quick.

Did you really need that, or is that just to prevent you from putting on a snowboarding glove?

Patiently waiting on that e-mail from Donek myself.

Clearance rack at our local sporting goods store. (Shenk and Tittle)

I just bought a pair of these last night to try on my wifes board, if she does not like them I could sell them to you for what I paid plus shipping. I paid $4.99 for each side. They do also have the clear hard plastic ones if you are interested. Jason

"The AASI does not want instructors to differentiate between regular and goofy foot riding. " Must have been a problem of bullying "Goofy vs. Regular" among the park rats, while sitting across the entire trail in front of every feature.

I will hopefully be able to post picks of my new Donek soon. Chewing my fingernails off waiting for that email saying it shipped!

Sorry, this is what I was trying to say. I do have a soft boot setup as well and ride at +15 front and +9 Rear, but what I saw yesterday was mostly about +15 front and -15 rear. If you were to align your hips with front binding angle I feel it would really twist the rear hip in an unnatural position. I used to be an instructor about 7 years ago and if a board came out of the rental shop like that it was sent back to be fixed. Is this just another push towards everyone being a halfpipe rider and not all mountain. Not trying to stir **** up just something I noticed more this year over last.

So I finally got to go riding for the first day this season, Snow was great and I even saw 4 other guys on hardboots! One thing I did notice today was that almost everyone on soft boots was riding duckfoot. I must not have gotten that memo. Is this the new way everyone on soft boots is riding? I may be missing something but wouldn't this really limit range of motion. The only advantage I could possibly see is that it would keep the hips square with the board, but at what other costs.

National Weather is saying chance of snow is 100% until Tuesday night! Dumping the Snow on Deep Creek Lake Area right now!

Zoltan, My wife and I will also be doing early morning weekends at Whitetail and Roundtop. We will have to meet up sometime. Let me know when you are going. Jason

This happened to me once when I was carving hard on heelside towards the bottom of a run. The area about 30 feet from the edge of the trail was untouched from recent snow making. What I did not know was it was about 1/2" of crust on top and 8" of powder underneath. I did several cartwheels. Luckily no injurys!! and I love my helmet!!

Wow, so many techniques, and tools to choose from. Thanks for the advice

I am looking to get a tuning kit to start tuning my own boards (Since they seem to be multiplying) Any sugestions? I am considering this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/DAKINE-2011-Super-Tune-Ski-Snowboard-Wax-Iron-Kit_W0QQitemZ290499407636QQcategoryZ62170QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5215824024658230854 Thanks

Ok I will let you know, my wife and I usually go to Whitetail or Roundtop early mornings on weekends, and Liberty some evenings during the week Definatly let me know about the Wisp, very worth the drive and wednesdays are $21 all day tickets.

Dave, Do you ride at Liberty, Roundtop and Whitetail ? We will have to meet up and scratch our wonderful ice

Just ordered a new Donek Sabre 169cm VSR 20cm waist Can't wait to get it !!! Sean was great to work with, very cool how they can tailor a board for exactly what you need.

Boardercross with a plate? would this be good or bad? Any opinions?

Looking for Prior FLC 169 or equal with rounded tail to be legal for snowboard-cross Thanks, Jason
