Pat, i'm actually coming off island on thursday to ride okemo, could i get in on some gates as well? do you know if they have a boardercross course set there as well just courious. i got a race this sunday

Pardon my lack of knowledge on euro shoe sizes but what do they translate to in us I'm a 10. Again sorry for such a mundane question

i have a volkl coal 167 with TD2 back foot and TD1 up front the only mod i did was add a 3/16 5000 series treated aluminum disk under each binding then carved it a bit so looks like a double sided tuning fork :rolleyes:http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/eplus2.gif . a few trial and errors later it still flexs but much stiffer i'll download photos. then my boots are old 123 that have been dremmeled , cut, sanded , and heated to soften a few spots . result hard boot comfort and resopnse is still solid but i can flex as far as my ankle will allowhttp://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Hey Noah, you seem to have a pulse on things in mass. Is there a way I can donate some older gear to any new and upcoming racers? I have Burton proto types race stock from late 90's a few sims burners , and a F2 and a monster oxygen proton 185 , I've been out of racing for some time but some of those boards still rip. Let me know I can bring them off island with me on the 20th. Be well, Steve

Back on the rock, no snow but played 9 holes golf at 42 degrees. Miss snow

great hill, is gordon robbins still running the snowboard program down there he was a great mentor to me back in the early 90's - 98, any day better than another to ride with some of you guys up there ? i dont get off island often but love to carve with a good group of folks

well done love to see plates in the BX i'm on it in feb. Keep it up

1st time there and mike and i only ones out ! 3 jibbers and rest of hill freshly groomed and just laying tracks. will be back next time off island for a evening session for sure

Anyone around to ride either Sunday pm. The 23rd or Monday the 24th pm. I'm finally getting off island for a few days and would like to ride and not just be solo guy out carving.

so i want to keep my loose fitting hardboots and my TD1 & TD2 setups TD1 fronts on two boards and backs with TD2, the first F2 speed X cross is in my mind fine except perhaps a bit soft in the tip. New set up on a Volkl coal is about to get "exciting?" adding a 1/4 5000 series aluminum plate the width of board and 6 inches infront of front foot, and 4 inches in back of rear. in an effort to stiffin board up and still flex has 1/16 inch rubber on bottom side as a dampener . the 1/4 inch plate should eliminate ripping out inserts or breaking another board while transfering some pressure away from the center and more to trhe edges. thoughts? other than nuts:freak3:

heading to stowe on the 20th of Jan anybody around to do either full or half day? Have not been on snow in some time but (2 years) but i know how to get it done

I'm not opposed to soft boots if they offered me the support i "think i need", i broke both ankles in a big air contest back in 93' before stimilon and people were building proper jumps and transitions. i then turned to racing, but i was comfortable with jumps. now later in life it has just become a trial and error of finding the right set up to do BX. i'm a firm believer that if a freestyle guy can carve, a plate guy can freeride and have fun to. whose to judge? just have fun ripping

i had done the same to my 125's long ago , it was a bit more "hackish" but result was the same and then took the pin out of the lean adjuster locker giving a bit more play , been a nice set up.

110/220 is it gone then? i read your post and i am new to this forum. Knew it was a long shot but never hurt to ask. p.s. new virus BX in route . see you in the start

did you ever sell the oxess? just getting back into racing BX would like to talk, thanks, steve

Hey Mello, If swiss racer backs out I am in desperate need of "new"ish boots to me if been out of loop for some time and my 124's are all packed out and i'm interested in the 29's thanks let me know, Steve
