  1. Sam I have a nice 154 just like the one pictured with bindings if still interested.... albeit 3 years later.

    What condition is it in and what type of bindings? It is probably too small for me but I would be interested in possibly buying it to make a few runs on it then just give it too a friend getting into the sport. Any pictures???

  2. Ha! Discounts?!? Try special "holiday" pricing in effect! :eek: Hidden Valley has the lowest rates but not as much terrain. & Springs is the place to go. Just be ready to pay big mountain price.

    $73 for a day pass at Springs or $114 for a weekend pass from Dec 24-Jan 2(holiday rates).

    Hidden Valley is $53/day for holiday rates. No weekend pass. Limited hours.

    Well worth the extra $$$ for Springs!

  3. lol. Great responses. I would love to see dude drink the boot tea.

    My 2cents- I like to have a bit more angle on my rear binding. I think it really helps me drive my heal side turns. Also, look at Jacks avitar. Great looking form. I always tell people to pretend your holding a big firehose and point that hose in the direction you want to turn. They key is to keep your shoulders square and arms in front with knees bent. I like my stance so that my back legs knee can fit right behind my front knee(making contact). That has worked for me for years.

    KNEES BENT,SHOULDERS SQUARE AND HOLD YOUR HOSE!!!!;)

  4. So after just posting a new thread before "searching" for this one, my 2cents. O'Neil makes a bad azz flak jacket called the HellRaiser. It has that newer SAS-Tec mold-able armor. The stuff is sick! Its really soft and flexible until impact time- it hardens up instantly!!! We put it to the test on a young co-worker with a baseball bat(we had the bat). IT WORKED GREAT!!!!

    I bought one a week later(for enduro riding) and love it!

  5. Wow this thread blew up. I use a knock off system that uses a Nalgene bladder. I have NEVER used any cleaner in it. The freezer trick is good if you have the space. If you don't just get an old wire hanger with a plastic bag on it(hanger is pulloed out to be long) and insert it into the bladder and hang dry. They sell something like this but I'm too cheap to buy it. If you use anything else than water, expect the funk. Camel Back sells a "safe" electrolyte drink for bladders. Key is, NO SUGAR!!!

  6. So, after my last run last year ending with a A.C joint separation and and my last run of my first day this year ending with a broken rib(toe side turn,lost edge and landed on fist), does anyone wear upper body armor? I'm beginning to think it may be a great idea. We travel at higher speeds and when we fall, it's always harder.

    I see that snowboard/ski upper body armor(flak jacket) is made for our sport. I am wondering if I'm better off with my motorcross O'Neil HellRaiser flak jacket under my jacket.

    Do I need to just man up? With no health insurance, I'm thinking that armor may be the way to go. I just don't want to be seen in it in the lodge! :freak3:

  7. I just had a acromio-clavicular joint separation. I had just finished a run and as I was on the flats coming into the lift area, some little kids came from behind me to cut right in front of me. I tried to twist my hips hard to avoid the kids and as I did, the nose got buried under about 20 inches of powder cause me to fall on my shoulder. I thought nothing of it at the time, no pain,and made a few more runs, drove 1.5 hours home, ate dinner, sat down and then WOW! Blinding white pain when I raised it to take off my shirt! That was on the 11th. I still cant raise my arm above my shoulder without that blinding pain. I feel your pain man, I feel your pain.

  8. Hello, I need new(to me) boots. I wear a 9.5 in Nike so I figure that a Mondo 27/27.5 works well. I really don't want to pay more than $75. I am willing to trade bicycle stuff. I work at a bike shop so let me know if we could work out a trade.

    Thanks for looking.

  9. So you guys really think this board is that old? It looks much newer to me. I'll have to get some pics up of it. I dont think it could be that old, it just looks to new. It does have some older snowpro "race" bindings on it? Its has a black bottem and a blackish top to it. In the middle on the board on the top side it has the letters "TAC". "Tapered Asymmetrical Core" spelled out under the letters. Looks like a straight up race board and is stiff as Hell. I'll work on getting some pics up. So since its this old, I should still be fine ridding it shouldnt I? Or is this something collectors go after? Im still looking for boots to if anyone can help. Size M27,27.5:cool:
