  1. There has to be more, with mountain biking theres a race practically every weekend. Why wouldnt there be races till the resorts close??? and where do you find out about the races?
  2. well im waiting to get some new bindings, if youll recall my broken xbones. Aside from the finding you part im not 100% sure i understand "a pass this weekend" and the Limited Mtn access part, could you explain a little more? you up there during the week? Ive never been to eldora, im in centennial thanks

    Races in CO?

    are there any SBX or alpine races in CO?
  5. just looking to get someone to give me some on mountian pointers
  6. SO while im waiting for new bindings.... I can do toeside turns fine, but on my heelside, I seem to skid and if I try harder ill slide out. But the other thing is, when i am in a heelside and going back to toeside it almost feels like im falling into the next turn before the board comes back under me, and am afraid that one time i actually will fall. Sometimes i feel like im squating into the turn and NOT facing forward, BUT when i do try to turn my shoulders it feels like im sinking into my body and the board it turning to much, but i feel like if i try to lean more im going to loose the edge and slide. I mean if i put my wieght on the front foot the board seems like it turns too hard and throws me off. ive tried but pulling my rear leg back or pushing me rear knee forward, and im still not sure what to do. Any tips, in plain english? Ive tried to read all instructions, but by the time i get on the mountain its all forgotten
  7. Ok so what do i do now?? I called bomber with no answer and left a message.
  8. funny thing is the temps werent that cold
  9. anyone have anybody in particular i should call? any #s?
  10. Boots are size 29.5, they are centered on the board, the rear isnt ALL the way back, i just centered the boot then moved the front bail back untileverything tightened up. yes the cracked are only on the back side.
  11. the BOTH broke, I hardly think i tightened them down to much, used a bike folding tool to tighten it can get much torque out of those, plus it doesnt seem like you can over tighten much, since it stops pretty firmly. If you'll notice not only is the carbon broken, but the 2 big cracks, which are almost mirror images of each other. I was going up Beaver Run chair the whole time. If you were on that side. Onlye saw 2 other guys that were together waited for them at the top of the list but thery were just some shop guys trying out what they had in the shop, and didnt seem to care much, but i had already grabbed my FR set up
  12. im 190, i was on a 162, I dont know there seems to be a bit of mat fiberglass in there, which i think is a rip, since it means they just used carbon on the outer layers for looks, just so they can charge more money. dont have a clue as to what the brownstuff is, but it looks weak!!! You know i thought at first, what ever just happened, if it did this to the bindings surely it must have thrashed the board. I mean you figure one of 2 things: either the binding are weak, or i must have wiped out incredibly hard, but if the bindings were as strong as youd expect, then to have crashed hard enough to brake them, the board and probably some bones would be broken too! walking all the way down the mtn wasnt fun either
  13. So there i am sliding down the hill with out my board! WTF just happened??? I was at breck today, and on the last run I was doing, before went to swap to my freeride set up, im going into one turn and feel a little sketchty so i decide to bail before i start to accelerate, im sliding on my butt for a few sec before i decide to slow/stop. and the all of a sudden i loose the board and im upside down on my back, wonder what just happened. I thought at first, my boots had popped out, or the latches failed, but wait, the bindings are still on my boots!!! , did the threads come loose and strip??? hmmmm wait, where are the base plates???? THEY ARE STILL ON THE BOARD!!!! WTF??? THIS SUCKS!!!!!!! I wasnt going very fast at all, and i didnt get hurt, though the front of my ankle is a tiny bit sore, but im not sure if it was due to this or not. I am very disapointed The board is just fine, my boots are fine, I would think the bindings, at least in this manner would be the last thing that would fail, especially in such a catastrophic way! I went over to bomber around 4pm, to get them to take a look at it, but despite the sign saying they were open there was no one to be found :(
  14. is it always this tough to find other people ride with, or am i just unlucky?
  15. anyone interested in going during the week?( i hate weekends) possibly stay overnite too. let me know If we go on friday, we can night ride at keystone, I rode there last sat night.
  16. wow talk about opening up a can of worms!, If you girls think its hard to find a Nice guy, its even harder from this side, Oh sure most girls might seem nice at first, but, then uh oh, , I guess thats why i hate dating, its so pointless, Its like taking a test every time. Its kinda funny, most people who are dating, wouldnt actually be friends if they werent dating, and why would you want to be with some one who isnt a freind in the first place? Like Some of my mtbing buddies, Im tired of hearing "i have to be home by this time". You know, if youd have married someone who likes to ride too... you wouldnt be such a wuss!
  17. just tried to call but his mail box was full
  18. im in centennial, thats a bit of a drive...
  19. if thats what i need to stop my heel from hurting..
  20. thats the problem, my heel seems to feel ok when im just testing it out, but once i start moving, it doesnt seem to matter how tight i make it
  21. So just as im starting to get the hang of it again(last season), and after a couple of runs, my rear foot's, heel (top side) begins to hurt to the point i can't ride any more, it feels like my boot is trying to pull my skin off. The boots are the right side, They are head stratos LTD's They liner is heat moldable, but i havent done it, it didnt seem like i needed it. I cant really tighten down the buckles any more of they would start to hurt. I do have relatively big calves however. Thanks Mike
  22. hey what happened? tommorow is my last day
  23. no its not too narrow, but its feels like im fighting my rear leg on my heelside turns, can someone tell me what exactly im supposed to do with my rear leg on the heelside turns?
