  1. If you do a google image search of "damian sanders avalanche half pipe", there's a ton of shots of him mostly in the pipe with hardboots.
  2. In line for the 162. I live in Sausalito and can do local. PM me if still available.
  3. Found this piece on Yahoo news. I'm proud to say that I bought a Tomahawk GS board off of Justin a few years ago and to this day, it's my favorite board to use. This kid has some guts, especially after living out of his truck for a few months. I hope this kid makes it to Sochi. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/outside-the-games---justin-reiter-225306660.html?vp=1
  4. Funny, I think most of us can name more than 10 boards that weren't even mentioned on here. http://onboardmag.com/features/lists/the-top-10-most-ridiculously-expensive-boards-ever.html
  5. Anybody have one in good condition they're wanting to part with? Price? Pics?
  6. Have any of you guys ever decided to bust out any of your shorter decks on a given day? I have a 149cm Burton Speed that I built up for an ex-gf but since she never got into it, it just sits in my closet gathering dust. I was thinking about giving it a ride as I've never ridden it before the next time I hit the mountain. I typically ride a 159 or a 185 depending on the day and group. I'm an average size adult male (ie. 5'10 etc...) In reality, it's only a difference of 10cm (4in) from my normal slalom deck but I'm also thinking it probably wouldn't make too much of a difference ridewise. I don't want to get all caught up on measurements and numbers but I just wanted to hear if you guys ever do this. And if so, is the experience that much different? I'm asking because I just don't want to waste my time with something that I'll want to swap out after a couple runs. My gut is that this thing will just be super fun and "whippy" on the mountain. Thoughts?
  7. I guess the first question should be, are Black Pearl Snowboards even around anymore? I remember a couple years ago, someone was talking about them on here. And secondly, anybody had the chance to try them out here in the US? I recall they had that extreme hammerhead nose to them.
  8. I've always wanted to try one years ago but never had the chance. Anybody want to trade theirs for a Winterstick Cirque 156?
  9. The new gladiator and Terminators look awesome but it's hard to justify a $3500 USD spend on that.
  10. Anybody have any reviews on that Virus plate from one of Scrutton's pics?
  11. Any chance you get your boards tuned at Lombardi sports on Polk st. in SF? I remember bringing my Thawk in there for a quick sharpening and seeing some Volant decks on the rack. This was a while back though.
