Hi, Let me describe what happened to me: In October 2010 i got hit by a skier from behind (and yes he didnt even stop to say he was sorry) and i lost control over my board and crashed realy bad...it didnt realy help that snow was frozen solid, and i was only warming up, since it was my second run of the day...Anyway, i dislocated my shoulder, reduced it and after a quick rest, continued snowboarding (not a good idea, thinking back :D) and dislocated my shoulder again after two hours riding. Then i stoped snowboarding for a month as my doctor told me to, but it didnt help, my shoulder kept poping out, so i stopped snowboarding completely. This helped, until kiteboarding season didnt start...so til the end of summer 2011 i dislocated my shoulder about 10 times. I also had a realy ****ty doctor who would want to operate me, despite the fact that i had also dislocated my shoulder one time douring sleep. So i went to this other doctor who immediately scheduled me for surgery. CT scan showed anterior-inferiorly torn labrum and hill sachs lesion ......while waiting 3 months for surgery, i continued snowboarding, and had no recurent dislocations, because i used some kind of safety leash (i strapped my arm to my belt, so i couldnt lift my arm to high, wich was my "dislocation move" :D). It really helped, except my backside became different. You can see this safety leash on my left arm in this video: http://vimeo.com/33837962 where i am trying new SENSE 181 with flax (which is brilliant btw). Video was shot on my last day snowboarding, 3 days before surgery (i know..im an addict). So i had my surgery done in december and it went really well (latarjet procedure)...three weeks of sling doing nothing, couple of weeks of mild streching an then a lot of PT. Now after 3 months of hard work i feel almost like before accident, there is still some weaknes, but it is leaving the body :D. I am planning to start snowboarding in the fall and kiteboarding next month, and i cant wait. Through this experience i realy learnt some lessons, i think that now i will be more aware of what am i doing while carving, and especially what others are doing. I also changed my helo sentence on my mobile phone from "touch the snow" to "dont touch the snow" :D Watch your shoulders.

Hi I have tested many boards: Kessler 180 (2011), Sigi full carve 180 (2011),Prior 172 (2009), Sense 165 (2009), Sense 180 (2011), and i own Sigi 175 (2010), Donek FC 171 (2006) and Sense 185 (2009)....(all titanal construction except donek and sigi full carve). I am telling you this, just so you know that i tried them some... And my favorite boards are all from Sense. Andrej can build anything...from very lively freecarve titanal board like 180, to a very brutal slalom 165, which will kick your ass, and then there is speed loving 185 which comes to use when there is a lot of space. And they all hold edge like nothing else. So if you want a really special custom made board, that holds edge like Kessler or Sigi but rides differently...give him a call. Well i have said enuff you should try them on your own, he will probably be at World carving sesion in Silvretta.

looks nice. Maybe a bit heavy. You will see how the extra weight effect your riding, it is not all good. I have tried gerab (3kg) plates an i must say, plates are good for competitions, but for normal user, they are useless if they are too heavy. P.s: s kje v sloveniji pa si drgač?
