    Jr. worlds

    Good luck team!! My athlete Sasha is 2nd from left. This will be her first Jr. Worlds.
  2. I think someone trying hardboots for the first time will generally be more comfortable with lower binding angles, so waist width is a factor. Also very narrow boards are more tippy and have that "balance beam" feeling. Well done sir! Haha ok

    Foley out

    Piece of shit.
  4. Woops, that site won't allow the video to be shown in the US. Here is the big final: @ShortcutToMoncton Seems like Ledecka is trying to bring her skiing up to par with her snowboarding. She was untouchable in the Olympic PGS.

    Mike has talent, strength, size, and desire. The Force is strong with this one. Covid BS prevented his participation in the Jr Worlds this year, sadly. But at 16 his future is bright.
  6. Megan Farrell, 30, took her first World Cup podium with second place in PSL at Berchtesgaden Germany yesterday, March 19, 2022! The medal jumps her to 5th place overall in World Cup PSL for the season! https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/snowboard/megan-farrell-snowboard-world-cup-berchtesgaden-1.6391052
  7. Jealous! Beautiful shots. What is that car train all about? Love your carving style, Dave.

  9. 4 fastest riders of the day! "Beating" Seth Wescott was fun, but really it was fake. My fast run was before the snow started. He didn't go until after the snow, when the course was 2 seconds slower for everyone. But hey, being ready to go is all part of racing, right? I'll take it! lol
  10. Taken yesterday. Man today is HOT. Tomorrow looks like it could be decent though. Temps just below freezing and snow overnight into the morning, possibly changing over in the afternoon. First few runs could be decent carving, then it will bump up.
  11. if you want your friends to like hardbooting, I'd avoid this Amp 6.
  12. @Ladia so sorry to hear about your continued health issues, I hope these new boards bring you joy!
  13. Oh sorry, that pic was from Ivan.
  14. It wasn't available, so I don't have one. Maybe next season. I hope it allows more flex for SL riding than my non-spring "soft" GS plate does. I see people riding non-spring plates on SL boards in World Cup and I literally do not know how they do it. I tried mine on my F2 Proto SL and could not bend it. Or at least not consistently. One out of maybe ten carves I would hit the g-spot and the board would carve. Otherwise, I hated it. I love it on my GS board though. Seems like about half the world cup field are using spring plates, like Benjamin Karl and Stefan Baumeister to name a few. I like their riding and they are successful. The spring plate I had briefly before I sold it to my athlete was great and I could make it work well. Very powerful, gobs of edge hold, but heavy.
  15. @lonbordintoday looks great and unfortunately could be the last day of carving for a while if not the season. Get up here if you can.
  16. Two new ones on me: 1) "So is that a top-of-the-snow board?" Me: "um, I don't know what that means" 2) guy on rental ski gear on the hill, we were leap frogging with our rest stops, he asks "so are you just exaggerating for effect?" Me: "haha, no, just having fun" you have arrived!
  17. Super H was not available when I was buying gear this year for my racers.
  18. you must be good friends!
  19. Shoulda supported YYZCanuck. Theirs also have square tails.
  20. Better people than me. They do cool stuff but they also do a lot of shitty manual labor. I'm not altruistic enough. When was the last time you saw a patroller ripping it up for the fun of it? I can't remember.
  21. Glad you had fun. Will you be here Monday? Or any other days this week?

    US Mogul Championships got moved from Palisades to DV due to lack of snow at P, and I am going with my daughter. Guess I will just have to carve Park City. @Emdee406 #firstworldproblems
