  1. That really blows man! I'm no instructor, but I understand your position: convictions vs job. It seems there's nothing to do woth your boss, when people are that stuborn (or stupid, don't remember how to spell ;)), you can't argue, even intelligently, because they wouldn't understand or they know they're not right. I don't know about the Tanker, but go with the 3 straps and high angles for now. If your boss complains, ask if you have to dress like them, act like them, and so on. Just a suggestion...

    Free computer

    Post it on freecycle
  3. Wow, awesome. I was wondering what could be done to make my Furnace more flexible, and here is part of the answer. My Furnace are of the same year as your Reactor and no cracks here.
  4. Ernie00 fait faire ses "base grind" de Coiler chez Oberson sur la nouvelle machine, alors ça doit être pas si pire. J'ai été déçu de mon dernier tune-up de Sharks aussi.:( Pour Québec, j'avais eu un bon tune-up d'un petit magasin de vélo sur Ste-Foy (coin Marguerite-Bourgeoys), mais j'ai oublié le nom... Je l'ai retrouvé: Bouticyle.
  5. Maybe because the ExtremeCarving crew endorse Bomber bindings?

    doh!

    My Mac is just a spare computer, almost a novelty item for me. I used to be on a P3-650 until my friend gave me a Sempron 64 bits a week or 2 ago, on which I dual boot WinXP/Ubuntu.
  7. You forgot that your caps lock was on, not fun to read.
  8. Tout me convient, mais j'attendrais qu'il y ait un peu plus de niege naturelle par contre. Le seul hic avec le soir, c'est que je travaille tôt en semaine (7h00 le matin).
  9. It's about people working low paying jobs and the others thinking less of them for doing this. I used to be a bike messenger and got this when going in offices where big business goes on. Back then, it amounted to lower than minimal wage. I did this job because I liked cycling and some people think that we do this because we can't get/do better, which is often not the case. I spoke to some university grads who did this because they like cycling or being outside.

    doh!

    My Mac is no powerful enough to run 10.5:( It's a G3-300 B&W. It can run 10.3 and 10.4 OK with lots of RAM and some features disabled.
  11. Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.
  12. Congrats Fin, Michelle, Nils, Jacques and Patrice for this partnership. Our local bindings manufacturers and really doing much bringing European boards here: Bomber and F2 Bomber and Swoard Catek and Kessler
  13. Et hop, un petit "bump" pour faire sortir le thread de l'oubli!
  14. Nous n'avons pas de meetings officiels, mais il est possible de rider avec d'autres monde du forum, ça m'est arrivé quelques fois.
  15. I normally ride 65-60 on my freecarve board and when I tried an AM board last year, my angle were something like 50-45 (I don't remember) and I found out I really had to change my carving technique to get it to carve. I didn't like that and sold it, but you may like it (lots of people do). I don't know how it would work with higher angles and underhang though.
  16. I can't find words for this...:( My thoughts go to you and your family and I wish your son a prompt and full recovery.
  17. 1st gen plates that used 3D in 1993. They are very adjustable. I had some but sold thm so I can't say if they fit down to 25.5. Check my website maybe?

    Pants

    I have some women's MEC Gore-Tex pants size medium in black for sale. Check my signature.
  19. It seems the swear filter only works in english!
  20. Bruce already has someone to help him with the site, but maybe he could use some more help, I can't really say.
  21. I don't knowwhat year are yours (97 are black, 98 are red), but mine are the 97 model and I have 2 nuts: one on top of the spring to adjust the tension and one at the bottom of the mechanism (near the ankle) to adjust the angle of the boot.
  22. My Nitro 166 has a 9,5m radius and a 25mm setback. I always rode it this way and never had the nose fold, but it did dig in (too much weight in the front initiating a carve) and it just kicked me out of the carve, nothing bad. Nitro stopped making carving boards in 2002 if I'm not mistaken.
  23. Euro-carving on a PJ in 1992. Quite similar to extreme carving.
  24. Insert received, thank Thor! I owe you one.
