It's not the chariot, it's the horses.
Having said that, I tried many boards to avoid the expnese of a Flux or Incline. All are good, but none better for me and where I ride. Not seeing others on VT powder carving trenches on their Libs and Burtons either.

Wanna Thirst SF? LFF (Regular stance).
Can be picked up on Long Island or Okemo/Killington. I can also ship for whatever the cost.
Enjoy

When on steeps or wanting to connect more turns per section, let the board pass under more on the transitions. It lets me engage the downhill edge and weigh the board much earlier in the turn so it whips back across the fall line faster.

Harbor Freight moving blanket and a sewing machine to build a DIY sleve. I have seen a few photos of this on the forum and made one for each of my boards. Great for letting them float around the back of the truck.

Bump on the Flux.
-
Ironic that the Tbar goes under the chairlift. Why would anyone boarder take the Tbar?
-
So in summary, go indoors, take up mountain biking or move to Ohio?
Damn this global warming.

We're struggling in VT with rain, only a few crowded runs open and warm weather for the next few weeks. Haven't seen anyone in hard boots all season. Is anyone going out regardless or is buying a plane ticket the only option? Please share your missery here.

Seeing this pop up more and more. Anyone heard of Technine?

Are his feet attached?
Point that to a bump run.

This guy mentioned Donek this year. Think he's warming up to us ski boarders.

Just saw that Burton added this new high back wing to the mission binding. I remember this in the early 80s. What's next, a third strap?

Hi Sheedapistawl,
Didn't get a PM but the Flux is still available.
-
Yesterday was 60 degrees and the mashed potatoes formed quickly. Other than avoiding brown spots, any advice on equipment or technique for carving up cake batter?
-
Did you see the prototype on Ebay?
-
Ditto on Intuition Prowrap lines. Use these in my UPZs and it makes all the difference.
Also, does anyone take a lunch break anymore? Three hours followed by $16 chicken fingers and fries (Epic!) with your feet out of the boots sounds like a nice break. Followed by a few more hours of regret.
-
Noticed lots of different equipment. Any favorite board/boot?
-
At 195 does rider weight really matter? If this doesn't pull your boot off on the way up, you are going to point it downhill and float your way down. This board is stiffer than my old Doughboy and Grocer so I doubt 220 is too much.

Hi Purist,
Someone already asked about the FP. I'll ping you if it falls through.
Thanks

6.7 out of 4? I have no idea. It was not made for me so not sure, but I weigh 175ish and it's not exhausting to ride and bends fine. I bought it for powder and soft snow so I only had a few days on it since it doesn't snow anymore on the East Coast. You can tell from the pictures that it's big and has lots of nose width to ride above any sort of conditions. Just a fun 'other' board cause size matters.
-
I don't see why not. PM me with an address if you need a shipping cost and if you need a board or two to go with this.
Thanks

You wouldn’t happen to have bindings to go with that Burton Chopper would ya?
I have a set of Mission Smalls or Custom Smalls, both two strap bindings in Black and White. Just add $50.

How much difference does a dedicated carving board make (softboot)?

So what board do you end up liking?
I have gone through a few Inclines and a Flux. Sean made me a 170 Incline with a constant radius that I like the best. I have a flux 168 in the For Sale section that is barely used if you want to give one a try. I'm in Long Island so suffering the lack of snow like the of us.
