Thank you AB, I had a side-sale going on with another board member and just received my new SW's in the mail. Thank you for the offer and best of luck finding a buyer :)

Thank you Wolf, Received exactly as expected - all bits and pieces accounted for :)

Darn, coming in to this LATE - seems Bomber is sold out at the moment - I would have taken these too!

Hi there, Looking for some (new or) lightly used Catek OS2 Standard short or Bomber TD3 Standard bindings to go on new board. Would consider the Sidewinder. NOT step-ins! Catek - wanting also the D3 upgrade if possible 4-hole disks Bomber: Canting disks or not (I haven't really used them in the past and have a plate) Soft or Medium E-Rings Send pics and details to me at racerkaren at hot mail dot calm Serious inquiry - thanks for your replies! Kab

This board is in decent shape - raced up to National level but not for long - was purchased for a starter GS board for a lighter rider before going bigger with a longer, stiffer GS board. It would be a great intro-to-race or freeride board. Board only, no bindings. Base is a bit dry but in good condition. Built for about a 120lb rider. As a female rider (slightly heavier than 120lbs but it was all in my massive legs, I swear), later in my career I could fold the nose on this so lighter or less-experienced recommended. $50 + you pay shipping - I have sold a board bag on here and another board recently with good feedback and all transactions went well. racer karen at hotmail dot calm

Sold!

Hi Greg, What's the name of the shop? Upon reading the thread, it seems the shop is taking responsibility for their mess-up and I have a couple of boards badly in need of grinds. Haven't been ground before and I would be sure to specify how important it is to have a 'smooth operator.' Also, I used to race Norams/WC and if you're not a seriously committed racer, I don't think you'd ever notice the difference with your board the way it is now versus if it was perfect. It took me 4 years of full-time training to get close to the podium at a Noram with perfectly tuned boards and after 5 years, I was still somewhat far from the WC podium. Keep it well-tuned and focus more on technique. If you make even one mistake on the course, you'll likely be off-podium. Don't sweat it :) Have fun with it! Thanks! Kab PS - Oops, looks like A1. Hope the rest of my info helped :)

Didn't get your email - did you try racerkaren at hot mail dot com? What's urs? I can send... Thanks! K

Please read ad - email's in there. And thanks - couldn't figure out how to make me email-able. It's now turned on :)

Mine's for sale! http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?38749-Oxygen-Supercross-164cm-for-sale-Black-Grey-Orange

Selling my Supercross. It's been loved and well-used but I'm light (5'7" - 130lbs - female) so the camber is still super springy. It's got nicks and a good ding out of the base but otherwise it's in good condition. Needs a grind maybe and a good edge tune. $150 - you cover shipping. Ship from Nova Scotia, Canada. Have lots of pics - email me for them. racer karen at hot mail dot com

OK thanks - I have an Oxygen 156 SL too - will dig them out, take pics and post. Might even take them for a tune first. BlueB! No, unfortunately... not this year. Heading south to FL for a while then to QC next winter for our annual trip. If I'm doing OK I might make a trip out your way too to visit friends and definitely get in some riding. You missed an epic epic day on 7th Heaven - I haven't had that much fun carving in a very long time. When I get my Titan (fingers crossed) I'll be hooked again. How's the leg? Are you back on board (!) this year?? Miss you guys :( No good riding here. Will hit Sunday River for a few days late Feb I think tho...

Still looking for a 164 Supercross? I have one - don't know exact year but it's still in good condition - needs a good tuning tho. It's the topsheet grey/black/orange. Bottom is black. Haven't ridden it in a few years and looking to unload. Was a wicked board but I don't race any longer (and I'm 5'7 and 130lbs!) racer karen at hot mail dot com

Might have one for you - it's a 164cm Oxygen Supercross from the late 90's. Good camber, needs a good tuning (edges mostly) used in a WC event or two and would be OK for your height & weight. I'm 5'7" and 130lbs but was much heavier when I raced and was aggressive. Let me know if this would be of interest - located in Nova Scotia Canada too (shipping fees). No idea what I'd sell it for - just found your post and haven't ridden it in a few years and would prefer to sell it. If you're interested I'd take pics. racer karen at hot mail dot com

Or similar. Sights set on a slightly used (recent 2010-12) pair or new if discounted. To go on slightly used 2012 163 SG Full Race Titan. Would consider a plate system too if you have one! Might be overkill but hey, it will be fun! Please send me pics and year/use if you have something for me! racer karen at hot mail dot com

LOL, you're right, that is Jasey! I think it was his mouth - he looks like one of the popular Euro guys I remember seeing in pics from way back. I'm just going through all my videos from the Olympics on FB, where I was just behind the crash pads at the back of the finish corral for Jasey's GM run and they're gone with the latest FB update... if I can find them, I'll post this video. I'll have to think about your comments about loading tip & tail vs. bending the board more - perhaps you can control the shape of your turn with knee movement, depending on if you're early, late or just in time for the next gate.

Check out this heelside!! What's cool to note is that whomever this is (?), if you'll notice, is angulating like crazy, super early, body downhill of his board. That means he likely started his turn before crossing the fall line which creates a helluva lot of speed when he consequently exits the turn. I might get picky and say his left hand crossed the board, and his shoulders aren't perfect, but this is a beautiful turn :) Also something to note - there are a lot of Euro's still cranking the knees together, if you've ever followed the WC circuit or were at the Olympics last year. Seems to only work if you have the strength to keep from getting too far into the back seat exiting the turn.

Haha - I love that you wrote I 'schooled' you about the knee technique B! Something I'd been teaching for years finally stuck with me this day - still wondering why I can't get over as far as you guys but wondering how far in the back seat this might take you? I'm busy critiquing style here from the great photo you guys took of me on this epic booter-bluebird-hero day - wondering if this info might help anyone without a racing background. Good knee form - my back knee is actually getting pushed out in the opposite direction to the front, to make for a good cowboy stance (centers weight on board and actually bends the board that little bit extra - try this while just sitting in the snow to see what it does to the board. You can really feel the board transition faster from toe to heel...), but my shoulders could be a bit more parallel to the terrain, and I could certainly stand up more - used to have the 'bent at the waist' problem back in racing days while trying to get lower all the time.. had one coach fix that for me, but it means no butt-dragging or tummy-shots! Conclusion - left arm could be lower to bring center of gravity more over heel-edge of board, less bend at the waist. Otherwise, dragging anything generally screws up technique, but sometimes, who cares!!
