[Donek FC II-171 ??]

for the '79 fcII. I love the 11.2 sidecut, it lets me turn 'em big or small, it doesn't complain too much in crud, and is stable at speed. I don't think you could go wrong with the '79, but I am biased.

[Hard and soft boot-able board?]

Tanker oversize 187 for my 5-10 1/4 240lb frame, wide enough for softies, but a hoot with plates. In softer stuff and crud, I don't leave trenches, I make berms. The 9.5m side cut makes for some really fun turns, and you can still open them up. A great all mountain board, I giggle every time I ride it.

[Snow Job?]

I was at Loveland (the nearest ski area about 60 miles west of Denver - just east of the Continental Divide) the last 2 Saturdays and the snow was good - not great. As of Saturday morning, they were claiming 15.5" of snow in the previous 48 hours but the wind had been blowing pretty strong and it was pretty wind-packed./QUOTE]

What were you riding? There were a bunch of us over on 8 and 2, I was on my tanker (hit a rock, bent an edge) bright orange jacket occupying a large volume of space. D.t and I will be back up on sat, hopefully the next storm will dump and the winds will stay down.

[Meeting carvers not on BOL]

I like to twirl my hair with one finger while snapping my gum. Make sure you giggle a lot too, it helps. Try not to have any oozing pimples visible, that's a turn-off (if you do, cover them with that colored zinc oxide cream stuff). Also - polish those braces to a mirror finish for that extra bling.

If nothing else works, dress like a slut, close your eyes, and think of a happy place.

[Snowboard C.S.I.]

I was the one who put it in the snow bank, it was the end of a somewhat trying day for mike, but it all ended relatively well, albeit a few days later.

[This is carving hard??]

i ate while on my toe side and kind of messed up my ankle too. it's feeling a lot better now, but i decided to take the rest of this week off and really let it heal up. i don't want to put myself out for the rest of the season by injuring it more.

Bullwings,

go to an osteopath and have an mri done immediately, this may be far more than a simple sprain, especially if the inside of your ankle is very tender. I have done this and did not go to a docter and now have very limited movement. P.m skatha about this particular injury, she has had to have surgery on her ankle because of this. Not trying to be alarmist, but do not mess around with this.

yea, 42 bucks or so, about 8 bucks off, you might be able to do better at king soopers

There may be another mini session in the works in the near future.

[Need a trick to avoid "sitting on the toilet"]

On a heelside turn, reach in the direction of your turn with your backside hand (left hand for goofy, right for you "normal" people out there). This will square you up and hook you up.

[Recommendations on a ultra-compact Digi Cam?]

I have a sd 400, It is a pretty rockin' little camera, and it'll shoot suprisingly decent video with sound for as small as it is.

mario

[did your tanker come with a really bad tune?]

I can't recall, but I do my edges right out of the box. I think it might have something to do with my obsessive personality

[Torn]

[help with head liners]

I have the new stratos pro liners and was wondering if you guys know anything about molding them. I tried to make an appointment with Larrys bootfitting in Boulder and theyre booked forever. Is there anyway to mold them at home. Or any places in Denver that can do em?

thanks

Snowboardsfast went to a guy in englewood to get his new boots fit, unfortunately I don't remember his name, Larry has gotten some big time press lately in skier and the rocky. Try pm'ing snowboardsfast, I'm sure he will be much more help than I was.
