  1. Bump in 2018. Still have the Intel heels. The replacement heels and the can't adjusters. And the Rossi and the Nitro.
  2. TimRich99, Yes I still have the Red Hot Shine 162. 

  3. I still have a couple good boards. Come on, buy me out. The small boards would be great for kids racing or beginners. 1- 152cm Rossignol VAS. I have not ridden this board. $100 previously listed in the for sale ads. 1- 160cm Nitro Scorpion. Black/red. A great quick turning slalom board that needs pressure on the nose. You'll need to find the right binding position and ride this one agressively, but then its fast and really quick edge to edge. The base is in great condition, don't think it has any repairs. $75. 1 Pair of near new black rear adjusters/cant locks for the Raichle boots. $20 Some bolts and adjuster screws for CATEK plat bindings. 2 long center bolts (countersunk Allen head). 2 short center bolts. 2 plate to heel/toe pad Allen cap bolts. 5 short adjuster screws (set screws). 4 long adjuster screws. 6 aluminum spacer rings black. 4 prints. I just found these , Jan 2019 1 Pair black Intec release heels. One heel is used but in very good condition! no wear to the pins. Has cable and handle. One heel (my rear boot) has a lot of wear to one of the pins, and some wear to the other pin. Has cable (missing a little section of plastic sheath at the top - 1/2"). Have 2 handles. You can make one good heel out of these. $30 everything else has been sold.
  4. A really nice used Rossignol 152 VAS race board. No dings or repairs, a thick coat of wax on for storage. The top is almost like new. No stomp pad. 4x4 binding mount. Good for a smaller ligter rider. $150 plus shipping. OBO. Shipping from San Jose, CA.
  5. A used pair of Bomber Trench digger 1s. These look l8ke have never been ridden. No visible wear. The bails are a little stcky, probably some grease or oil gummed in the pivots. One zero (0) and one three(3) degree mounting disk. Drilled for 4x4 and 3D. Purple bumpers. In really good condition. All screws are included. The disk and plate screws are in great condition. The bumper screws allen sockets are a little rounded out but usable. Buyer pays shipping. From san jose, CA.

  7. Lots of really good advice. The more you ride, the better you get at this. The final test is getting off Cornice Express at Kirkwood late in the afternoon when 1' deep channels have been cut into the exit ramp turn. Its a hard mandatory right. 1. As stated above, make sure you have a good stomp pad and learn to use it. All these Macho guys with no stomp pad are... Macho. 2. Learn to get the board flat and your rear foot positioned - before you stand up. The board flat, rear foot on stomp pad, stand up all happens in a few seconds as the chair is moving through the station. 3. 1st or Last. Jump up early to be out in front of everyone, or wait and be last off the chair. it gives you more room to maneuver and can keep you clear of other crashy snowboarders. 4. Stand up Tall. Don't bend over. Be tall and calm. 5. Slight forward pressure, you have to want to go down the lift exit ramp. If you sit back, you crash. My friend Johnnie coined a phrase which I still use and tell to new snowboarders. "Reach for the Garbage Can". WHAT? You'll notice that in the exit area of many lift top stations there is a garbage can straight out from the lift exit ramp. Learn to reach for it or for the virtual garbage can. This puts your weight forward. 6. slight easy turns. A tiny bit of shoulder turn. Try and stay tall.
