hey hotmop-i gotcha beat 6'0 235....im a downright slob. rode the 170 madd at eces....definately not as accomplished as these other guys(even though ive been doin it 10yrs) but that edge would not let go and i tried it slow, in a class, and fast, pointing down the fall line cuz i cant carve steeps(yet). but bombing down a hill and then really engaging an edge, it just HELD....and im pushing gravity about the same as you. havent rode a swoard but hope this helps, im puttin one in my quiver. 3\16\04 1:42pm-snowin like a banshee in buffalo ny. yay.

where to begin? the beginning of course.....dateline 1995....first year on a board (skied for about 8)....confidence was growing, so was my speed....full camo outfit, sans helmet....night skiing one march evening i decided to curl over this dropoff that was giving me fits all season. i did a perfect heelslide over the crest-turned a few times down the steep and picked up some ungodly speed(way too much for a rookie on a pj and variplates). because of excessive back-patting on my part, i didn't see the death cookie from hell in my path. i straightened my body zigged when my board zagged and caught an edge. i proceded to flip and flop for about 2 and 1/2 lift poles. i hit every edge of my body and board many times. it was night skiing so it was black/white/flourescent/repeat x6 or 7times. i know it was a long time because i had time to pray that my legs would not snap while i was bouncing along. when i came to a stop, i checked inventory and was ok..shaken not stirred. someone from the lift yelled the standard "are you ok" i waved and mumbled to myself, "beer me". to add insult to injury i had to go up and down 2 lifts to get back to my car. humbling indeed. the following year my so called pals talked me into attempting a 360 on my 163 alp. not only did they capture that ridiculousness on video, but i had to go to the emergency room the next day..hip pointer ugh. at least i wasn't in camo. from that point forward i decided-tricks are for kids-silly jackass! to the person with the post about hydrocones....i know what you mean, just got back from the e.c.e.s.- wouldn't have gotten through 3 days without them....modern medicine rules!!

anybody? i'm sure someone on this forum was probably affiliated with the mag....stared out as a carving mag then went to "freeride" then just stopped.....with my 20.00(us) subscription i might add. i believe it was published by transworld, which might explain it's demise. i think it went from 95' to 98'??? can't wait to get to the eces!!!!!

looking for reviews of a product called edgetune(.com). its an aluminum guide hooked-up to a dremel style tool. does side and bottom edges w\ or w\o bevels. wondering if anyone has one. b.t.w. not affilliated w\ this product. looks really cool for tuning geeks, like myself. thanks.
