    Now that the broken Ankle and leg is healed from last Season. I finally got to ride my new Coiler AM in Whistler last week. Bruce dialed it perfectly for an easy ride all day long cruiser that wants to go everywhere. Thanks Bruce.

    Quiver shown are my current rides for 2012

    Sorry- one more question... I have standard TD-1's on my current ride- I'm assuming I'll need some sort of heels for the step ins? I have Head Statos Pros FWIW. Thanks for the help, and apologies for the newb questions.

    Use Fin-tecs -- they are nice set up. -- go to the Bomber store and go to Fin-tec heels - they have a link there telling you all about compatibility.

    I also think you can change these Step-ins to standard Bindings by buying a few parts from the Bomber store..

    my guess is your boots will work with Step-ins... I also think the Stand TD-1 s will still work if you use Step in heel piece,,, but please check with someone at Bomber to verify.

    I only use step=ins...

    Hi- i'm seriously considering your board + bindings...i was just alerted to this thread/your ebay listing through another memeber here (Piusdrcarve). Since it's on ebay now (with bids)...i'm assuming i'll have to wait until the auction ends in about 9 days or so? The only other board i was considering was a Donek metal...i've heard great things about them as well here.

    Also, i'm 6' and about 200lbs...fairly new to hardbooting/carving- but lots of experience in softies. Most riding will be done here on the "ice-coast", with a trip or 2 out west once a year. Too much board for the small trails here? I've been wanting to upgrade to TD-3's...so the package is particularly attractive to me..

    Thanks!

    I can end the auction anytime if you are truly serious.

    Donek builds a great board too.. This one is also metal BTW.

    I am 6'3" and 215lbs.

    I can not answer if it will work ok on small trails... cuz that is more your ability than the board limits.

    I can say this -- it is a wonderful board on the western mountains, it is where it was born. It is also great on ice we have here in the Seattle area quite often.

    One of them played in the Publinx twice. I just checked with GHIN. She's up to a 6.4 now. The other two (twins) are 8.8 and 8.6. I jfinished the season at 8.7.

    Did the Medicare thingy in August..... My dad can't believe he has a kid on Medicare!

    Pat,

    Congrats on the 8.8. I got to 6.6 this season in august/sept and then back to a 7.1 when it turned a little cold. Wish you lived closer -- we'd make a good 2 man best ball team.

    In fact we could go ride Crystal Mt as two old farts - come down and play 18 the same day..

    Have a great season riding this year. Looks like you and I are the old guys on this board. Maybe the only two on Medicare. Let hope all the young ones continue to work so we can keep our "old fart" benefits going.

    For over a dozen years my regular foursome consisted of myself and three women. Our handicaps usually ranged from 4 to 9 and I was usually in the middle. We thoroughly enjoyed beating each other and it was a rare day that I beat all three. I moved away and got married ten years ago and now play at different courses (mostly with guys). Over the years no one knew my game and swing better than those three ladies and I do miss playing golf with them.

    Back to the subject of age: I applied for Social Security this morning!

    Pat

    I have played a lot of golf...for many years with some great golfers..I have only seen one female ametuer that has a GHIN handicap in the single digits... I am impressed you played with 3 that were single digit. WOWOWOWOWOW -- seriously. that is amazing.

    I have not applied for SS yet myself... going to wait 2 or so more years when I am 67. I will be applying for Medicare this month.

    Not only do far fewer girls participate in school sports,but they are even less likely to do those sports as a past time in adulthood.

    .I don't play,but golf is likely another one in which the ratio is more even.

    Not very even on the golf course. In fact some golf courses have restrictions even when women can play, like after 12 o'clock on Saturdays. Outrageous I know in this day and age. Or can you imagine a Ski resort area displaying a sign at the entrance " No women allowed today" . It is a very guy dominated sport. Expense wise it probably about the same - lift ticket cost to green fees cost about the same for an average golf course. Similar problem in both sports when playing/riding on a weekend... very slow due to crowds.

    Guy golfers like to compete against guys... because getting beat by a woman on the golf course is a sure fire way to have him ask his doc for a Viagra prescription.:biggthump

    Beautiful package and great deal! Wish it was the wider version... size 30 mp makes it a challenge.

    Not trying to be a salesman here... and I would say this even if I did not have a board to sell...

    I am 30Mp also - size 12 feet - I see no problem in riding 18-20 cm wide boards. never have had an issue.. I think if you seach the site here you will find several big feet on narrow - <20cm boards. -- but it also comes into what you are comfortable riding too. Cheers and have a good season.

    Need any Golf stuff as partial tradebait? Matrix Ozik TP7HD ($1,200 shaft) perhaps? A spin-destroying 6M3?

    Seriously, if you're an avid golfer playing predominanty off the rack gear there's a good chance I have or can get something which would offer a serious upgrade. I'm a looong-time Matrix and Harrison affiliated clubmaker and would be happy to put something together with cash added to fill out the deal.

    thanks. but I laugh because my next task here at the house is to clean out my golf equipment. I have almost enough to open a store and have finally settled on what clubs stay in the bag. I have to keep them cuz they helped me get into the 6 ish handicap index this year.
