Sorry for posting huge pics but here they are.

This is the wide version of Donek's Incline freeride board, length 164, black base, metallic red topsheet. I bought this board a few years ago and ran it for a season, but haven't used it since. Took it out for a few runs this past weekend and realized it's a bit too much board for me! 300 obo plus shipping

Anyone have a spare?

I played around with the boots a bit and I think they'll do. There's a shim in the heel that I removed, also running the buckles loose gives as much flex as I need. Problem is, on my maiden voyage yesterday the plastic bit on the toe bail of my brand-new Burton Race Plates cracked in half when I went to lock it in. Didn't get a single run, and 1st tracks on Sunday River cordouroy turned into a frustrating 9:00am start on softboots. Got up early for nuttin'. Should have known better than to trust a plastic binding in subzero temps.

These things are way stiffer than I expected. I suppose I need to play around with them a bit but from what I've looked at there's no way to loosen them up enough without the use of power tools. So I've got a pair of brand new 10.5s that I'll sell for $50 plus shipping. Unless someone knows the trick for making them beginner friendly....

Picked up the Flexon Comps just now, going to have a crack at setting up the bindings.... The guy has a whole bunch of these things, if anyone else is interested drop me a line. I'm starting a retro revolution!

Thanks for the tip! I saw those on ebay - 1st guy wants $30 S&H, the 2nd ones sound like they'll be too small, and the 3rd ones are pretty old. I did manage to find 2 pair of brand new Flexon Comps at the ski shop next to my office. I'm going over there in a little while, if I can get them for next to nothing I'm going to go for it. The guy told me they couldn't *give* these boots away at a ski swap last year.

That's the drainpipe at Bartlett Wash near Moab, UT. I don't have any pics of me on a snowboard that are avatar material (yet). I could possibly head up to Park City for a day...will post back here when I have more details...thanks for the offer!

Anyone going to be there? I'm getting into town Tue 2/1 and riding Wed-Sat. Are there any hardboot instructors working out of Snowbird? Would love to meet up with people from this board for a few runs. -e

It's looking like I'm not going to make it but I'm going to shoot for next Wednesday. It's my son's bday tomorrow and I was supposed to take him to Bradford, but it going to be wicked cold out theah. So I'm taking him tonight instead. If anyone's at Bradford, I'll be the guy in the bright yellow Flexons trying to carve :rolleyes:

I prefer to wait until I know what I'm doing before I spend a lot of dough on this kind of stuff. In the past I've been stuck with gear that I wouldn't have bought had I known better, but it was just good enough to get by on and therefore I couldn't justify replacing it....I know it's complicated, but it's tough being cheap when you have expensive hobbies. I'm pretty sure 28 is the way to go, I tried some Indys last night and today I actually tried some Raichle Flexon Comps. 28 worked in both cases. So, someone hook my up with a cheap pair of size 28 beaters that I can learn on. Otherwise I'm going to end up with a pair of Raichle Flexons that my local shop dusted off this afternoon. I think if I go in around lunchtime tomorrow, I can trade the guy a roast beef sub and a bag of chips...

Looking for pair of boots to get started on, mens 10.5 (mondo 28? i think...). The cheaper the better - I will be passing them on to another beginner next season, either because I didn't like alpine (unlikely) or because I'm hooked and spending all my disposable income on new stuff (here we go again). I'm in MA and could pick up around Boston or any ASC resort this weekend. I'll be in SLC from 2/1-2/5 and could also pick 'em up there..... thanks!!!!

Steve, that would be awesome. I'm going to head over there tomorrow night I think. Thanks! -e

Found some on eBay that are supposedly mint condition....for $60. Would this be a waste? I'm thinking I would rather do this than spend $400 on new boots only to find out this isn't my bag!
