  1. I think there is a world of difference other than nose profile between the new Madd and the NSR.

    Attributing all to the nose belies the other thoughtful posts you have made here.

    I remember getting my red team fps around '94-'95 season?

    You're 1998 wasn't red unless you painted it?

    Time to calibrate the way back machine Chumley?

  2. So is that all you ride now because it is so much better?

    A full metal jacket; all decambered?

    Do you ever miss the loaded glass feel as some quite accomplished carvers here seem to?

    Can a glass board be more fun sometimes if harder on the legs?

    Maybe that's just nostalgia.

    I benefit from a large quiver and truly never ride a board more than 2 or 3 times in a row.

    I like adjusting to the different feedback of individual rides.

    I don't like being "comfotable" too much on piste.

    Doesn't mean I'm not occasionally solid.

  3. "HUGE benefit for freecarving"

    Maybe theoretically, yes.

    But couldn't an inefficiently shaped nose add energy to the board?

    Slower in the gates for sure, but where does that speed (energy) loss migrate to?

    Just asking.

  4. Tahoe Quarterly just announced that Vail Corp has purchased Incline Village!

    This is a more straight forward Real Estate endeavor that incorporates both Diamond Peak and the exclusive Incline Golf Course.

    "We've been working on this for a long time" quoted a Vail spokesman. "We couldn't be more excited. Incline (village) is perfectly in line with our new client demographics. It will be a wonderful amenity to our Ritz (Northstar) clients who can travel back and forth without ever having to pass through Kings Beach."

    Wow. What next?
