Are there going to be gates or any kind of race training at loon this coming weekend? just curious.

Mr. John Deer, I cannot find a way to email you through bomber, but i still want to complete the required paper work for the race program. Mitchell.Pauly@gmail.com is my email. Thanks again for letting me stalk you Sunday, and thanks for the tips.

I don't know if you fixed the email option.... there is no option to email you by clicking on your SN. Mitchell.Pauly@gmail.com hit me up.

what kind of Donek is that? do you normally ride it with hard or soft boots?

Yeah, I check the sale section daily for a fit. I posted here as well in case someone checked here first before posting. Worked once before.

I am on the hunt for a relatively inexpensive board. I am not looking for a board that is so beat up that its practically worth nothing, but I am looking for a board under the $250 or under. This board does not need to be anything to write home about, but it does need to be able to ride well, carve like carving boards should carve, and be in the 165-170cm range. I am training at night at a small resort with lots of little kids everywhere, beginners, and at times questionable conditions. Hence I do not want to take out my fine china, and so am looking for a board appropriate for such a place. Let me know!

Has this sold?

I know I posted about this once before, and I know that this is not the official place to post about this event. I am posting because this is the place where most of the riders I know and have ridden with before commonly look. I am trying to find out who is going, what days, and if they are staying anywhere. Trying to figure out how feasable this is for me. Hope everyone is making the best of a trying season so far.

Couldn't make it Sat due to the roads and fog, and overdid it a little sat. night which ruled out Sunday. glad to hear the cold will be in place this coming week. I guess I'll see everyone at the berkshire event.

Just trying to get a idea, since the initital topic wandered a bit. Who will be there this weekend?

Anyone going to be there, want to meet up? I am planning on demoing some pureboards, among other shenanigans. Let me know!

Its cool. Nobody missed a thing at Loon on Sunday... man-mad ice + a never ending stream of people. Took ten runs or so and called it a day. Bretton Woods was much better on Saturday.

Going to be at Loon on Sunday, if anyone wants to meet up.

Sounds like a plan to me... I don't know if I will be able to be there all week, however. I am sure we can figure it out. Hit me up at my personal email and we can begin to iron it out.

I read the description for the SW in the store section and didn't find any mention of both E-pads coming with an order of SWs. Do they are don't they!?!?!

Looking for a variety of each. I have blue E-Rings, and yellow E-Pads. Would be interested in Red and yellow E-Rings, and red or blue E-pads. Let me know!

Thanks Fin. 3 and 6 is what I was leaning towards, a I run the large block in the back binding for my F2s, and I figured that would be about 6. 3 in front sounds about right. Thanks for the insight into what the racers are running--if I read correctly, you are stating they do not use canting, only lift?

How about an approximate?

I am sure this has been covered before, but does anyone know the angles on the stock F2 wedges? I am trying to come up with the best approximation of which cant angles to get with my TD3 SW (which you all convinced me to pony up the cash for). I ride 23'' wide, low angles and very aggressively. Let me know if any other information I could provide would be helpful. -Atom

I currently run F2 titaniums and bought them for the flex on purpose. They are the only binding I have ever ridden, although I am purchasing SWs for this coming season (and a second board kit as well). Flex is best, in my opinion (can I copyright "Flex is Best"?). It creates a forgiving ride, but as you progress in hardbooting, you will find you have control and precision "within the flex" of the binding, boot, etc... You essentially need to look at your set up as a system; at a minimum, you should consider the boot/binding interface as the most important (since people tend to sell boards off quickly but hold onto their bindings). Bomber, due to interchangeable pads, gives a lot of options here. Decide where you desire stiffness (for precision) and where you need flex (for forgiveness and style). Remember that style is not form, and form is not style. Stiff set ups force form, flexy ones style (for a very general, everyday rider that is).

Thanks, I checked that out earlier before I made my post... I don't think there is actually a post/whatever on that sub-forum stating the dates.

I am thinking a bunch of us M*******s should try to make it up there to represent with attitude. Who is planning on going, and for that matter, since I cannot seem to find an actual page showing the dates, when the hell is it? I think carpooling would be ideal, along with roomsharing, etc... should allow everyone to attend with minimal costs. Who is in?

My goal is to be the illest dude out there, or at least always earn a notable mention. Buggs- are we going to ride this year or what?

I just have one question: can I switch the springs out, or are they permanently in place due to the epoxy? I will take them if they are switchable. Shipping would be to Boston, MA. PM me and let me know the total. Thanks.

Seems like what Kipster is proposing is either just another way to justify the business model in the eyes of the resort ("I'm not charging!), or a pretty massive loophole. Also, OLDSNOWBOARDS... how did you deduce blue hills is the resort in question? I think I know the answer but I am just curious.
