D.T.

Simply put, today was a good day! Thanks for joining us lonbordin; it was a pleasure to meet and ride with you!

Talk is all I've got!

SOLD - I haven't been riding much the last few years so it might be time to thin the heard. 161 Coiler SL - ridden once. This is a copy of the board that Bruce built himself and won the nationals in ~2013. Sidewall engraving: T161SL 014DT - 6.8+11. The waist width is 20cm. SOLD - Price: $600 OBRO + shipping or pick-up in Denver.

THIS BOARD IS SOLD I haven't been riding much the last few years so it might be time to thin the heard. 180cm JJA Cypress - ridden twice. I never spent enough time riding a board with a plate to become comfortable with the difference in feel. The board is in excellent condition. Includes the JJA plate and two 3 degree Bomber TD3 BP version base plates. I know some of the JJA's had issues with insert alignment and pull-out. I've played with the position of the plate and baseplates on multiple occasions and have never had any issues. I don't know which factory manufactured this board, but I do know it was in the first batch of boards made commercially available in the US. Serial number 0180 0158. Price SOLD + shipping or pick-up in Denver.

All Boards Sports no longer has a retail store. You can purchase online. You may also be able to schedule an appointment to view/try on gear.

I’m probably too late to the game, but I have a Coiler SL with only a few days on it. PM me if interested.

If you’re still looking, I have a 177 Prior 4WD that has ~2 days ride time. PM me if you’re interested.

Big Mario sings ABBA’s greatest hits. Except for that one season where all he sang was Livin’ On A Prayer. You wouldn’t believe the mental anguish I’ve suffer after riding with him for ~15 years.

That time when you and two dumbass friends piled in the truck and made a 16 hour drive...

As was mentioned earlier, Bola closed the storefront and is doing mainly online sales. You can schedule an appointment if you want to fondle some equipment. Call and leave a voicemail.

What ink said!

We were too busy ridin'!

Another horrible day at Lovey. Wish the weather would have been better...

I'm trying to understand the logic behind your opinion... You are at a mountain that at best, you ride infrequently. You hop on a newly-designed board (Malolo) that you know nothing about, don't like it, switch to a board design (Supermodel) that has been around since at least the early 2000's and have fun, and therefore, make a statement that the newly-designed board with a short tail is unworthy and merely a design fad? Could there have been other factors that were the ultimate issue for you? Let's start with SCR: the SCR on the current 162cm Malolo is 8.2; I don't know the spec on the Supermodel, but I'm guessing its a bit larger than 8.2m. What about flex? Back when I had a 174cm Supermodel in ~1997/1998, it was one of the stiffer all-mountain boards available at the time, and definitely in Burton's productline. Based on Burton's marketing hype, I would guess that the flex of the Malolo is somewhere in the middle of the range of the boards that Burton manufactures. Add some steeps and snow that you can sink an edge into and that soft-flexing board will fold like a wet noodle. My take on the Malolo: by combining a small SCR, moderate flex pattern, and a rider than know how to put the board on edge and weight the edges (rarities for the vast majority of the riders on the mountain), you're just asking for a shitty time! Now throw in 20mm of taper and a bobbed tail, if you don't immediately adapt your riding style, your day will be even worse. My experience on a bobbed-tail board: I own a Jones Hovercraft 164. The SCR is 10M. My other softie boards all have SCR's that are 10M or greater; smaller SCR's don't work for me! If I don't adapt my riding position (as in stay neutral and quit moving around on the board), I'll loose the tail easier on my 174cm Volkl Selecta with 20 or 25mm of taper, than I will on the bobbed-tail Hovercraft with 14mm of taper. Last weekend we actually had the first real snowfall of the season; thus, I grabbed my Hovercraft. I rode open glades, tight trees and steeps, and would hop out onto the groomers and carve back to the lift. After clipping a tree in the trees, I stood up and was mid-thigh deep in powder. At no point in time was it necessary for me to lean back on the board to keep the nose riding on top of the powder. I rode the steeps and trees with speed and confidence. On the groomers, I would drag my knee on the toesides and my ass on the heelsides. My personal take: No way in HELL would I, personally, ride any board with an 8.2m SCR; my slalom and softie boards have larger SCR's, and all are significantly stiffer. Rather than being obtuse, appreciate the subtleties that make each board different. We do it on alpine boards, why not on a softie? When purchasing a board, I take into consideration not only who manufactured the board, but also who designed it. I don't have the slightest idea who designed the Malolo, but I do know that Jeremy Jones has a clue about how to lay down some turns and ride the big mountain. Before you bash the totality of a design concept, get the right board!

Bump...

Cool. If conditions warrant hardboots, I'll be on chairs 1, top of 2 and 6. If it's a soft boot day, I'll be in the trees and bumps. Blue helmet, gray pants, jacket TBD.

I think I might actually get out on the hill and try this snow-sliding thing y'all talk about. I got me one of them square tail boards with a funny notch at the end. Planning to make it up for breakfast then first chair.

base for a table

Yo! Might have to actually get up on the snow before too long... Shelly had surgery on her other knee 4 weeks ago, so it'll be another month or so before she can ride. On another note, back in August, on a remote piece of singletrack a few miles from nowhere, I ran into none other than Blue Bird. He's back in CO and looking to get on the mountain. Keep your eyes open for him wandering around the lodge looking lost.
