Interested in Race Physics. Thanks

G is for Grunge! It was a cheaper off brand we carried in our store. They beg, borrowed or stole the molds/lasts, or just had Dalbello make 'em in China, when Burton moved on to the Loafer era boots. Aaaahhh!! so long ago, so far away :D

Interested in the 185, you've got mail :)

My wife has her old Rossi 149 Race VAS. It's tuned, like new, cheap. Let me know if you're interested. Mario

Couldn't get the pics

mtnpig, I'm interested in the 178. I have a 168 that I like, it could use a big brother. Do you have the specs on the 178, I think the sidecut was around 12-13m? Let me know if your interested in a trade for my 168. It's about 4 yrs old, got it around when our daughter was born, so only about 5-6 days on it. It's the Black graphic w/ subtle tiger stripes on tail. Sidecut about 11m, I"ll confirm if you're interested.

She does both, Kathy. The key is having the luxury of their own equipment to play with when ever they want. Their attention span is so short at this age they need to be able to just play with the stuff indoors or out as much or as little as they want. Our daughter had skis @ 16 mos. and i got her a Chopper the following yr. The other key is non threatening terrain. Lots of play on the flats pulling her around with a hula hoop or tether. If you use a tether slip knot around the boots rather than waist or chest harness that pulls them off balance. When they start sliding on a hill, use VERY gentle slope with hoop or tether. It's time consuming with kids, I can count on my fingers the HOURS i've ridden the last 3 yrs. BUT when they make those first turns/stops on thier own it's PRICELESS. Oh by the way, she uses her skiboots on her board.:D Hope this helps a little, good luck. Mario

There's always been a fair # of hardbooters around here, might have to do with our FIRM, glassy powder!;) It just seems to have diminished over the years, better softies help. Montana ROCKS!, we've been to Big Sky a couple times, beautiful place, would like to check out Big Mountain someday too. I have relatives in Missoula, didn't know there were lifts nearby. Hope you're having a great season Kathy!:) Mario

Do these have the dial for the forward lean & 3 position ski/carve/walk switch on the back? No boots to trade, interested for around $100. thanks

Dubber, you've got mail

Looks like the box in the pic says 27.5. What size are they?

Did you get these in europe or on German ebay? The 28 will only get you a thicker footbed, I've got the Dalbello skiboot version. Go to the 27/27.5 if you need smaller. Would like to find a set of these cheap, if about $100 works let me know. Thanks, Mario

You've got mail

mx, do you still have the 7.8/180? if so what color, cond., price, radius on those was 13-14? thanks

Hey eastcoast, my brotherinlaw has a 157/190mm, was his starter board, ridden maybe 5 times LN. I'm sure he'd take $100. I can bring it to Peak Wed. for you to ride if you want. Mario

We'll be @ Peak Wed. 1/26, unless it's pouring rain. Our 3 1/2 yr old is makin' turns! I'll be on skis to start her off, then try switching off to my freeride board for the first time while she skis. If she wants to start the day at daycare, we crank turns for a couple hrs. on the old Sugarhouse/race run til about 11:00 when we get her out of daycare & onto the beginner hill. She's so psyched that she can ski without help now she may want to start the day skiing instead of daycare. Anyway, I'd love to crank some turns with you guys if your there Wed. Just look for the big dope in the Red jacket/black pants, Black Boeri helmet, wife has Navy jakcet White helmet. If we're riding, you can't miss my trenches, MASS IS MY FRIEND ! :D Hope to run into you haha ;) . If we don't see you Wed. we're planning on Sun. again, if it's not pouring.

Thanks Barry, I'll look for it next year! Any other hardboot fests in the western NY, PA area: HV, SPRINGS, BRISTOL?

I thought at some point I read about a mini SES event at Seven springs,Pa. Any one have any info on something like that this year? It's been a while, but mid week on North Bowl's a fun place to trench close to home, especially since we're getting some snow again. :) Mario

Good idea with the cant, I'd say 3 degrees would be better. 6 is overkill, locks up the back knee. One thing I forgot to mention is the forward lean shims on the bottom/back of the cuff. Have a thin one or none at all on the front foot, light to moderate one on the back foot. Allows the hips to rotate towards the heelside to maintain equal pressure on both heels, similar to riding in walk mode with a hardboot. GO RIDE !!!:)

Ar(angel has some nice small Oxygen Proton/KR 149's on ebay, cheap. I just picked one up for my wife, 5'8 135, as a 4th board. She's got a Rossi Race 149, like new, gathering dust. It has a 19 cm waist, ~ 9M sidecut, slightly larger freerideish nose. Let me know if you're interested. Mario
