  1. having been a skier from the school of pick up the inside ski it drives me nuts watching that clip, don't see small carves, don't see the uphill ski in the air, see the downhill ski losing contact with the snow because the inside (uphill) ski is making to much contact, turns are washed out, skier is out of balance and not really in control I think the skier in jonsen to get on an alpint board hope I opened a whopass can of worms

  8. I will assume you're serious http://www.amazon.com/How-Racers-Ski-Warren-Witherell/dp/0393303446 this link leads you to a book by warren witherell, pioneer in the art of the carve your job is to get the board on edge and freeze, the boards job is to hookup and carve, it's line is dictated by mass, inertia and angle of deployment it's all about how far on edge you can get the board, whatever it is you do to get it there doesn't matter, what matters is the angle you can rail, I love that picture of steph on her rear edge but I'm really looking at the board, it's railed, the fact that she's perfectly balanced makes it a great picture OK none of this counts if you touch the snow with anything but the edge of the board ;) jmho
  9. Plucked from weather.com severe storm section Heavy snow is developing across the Rockies of southern Utah, Colorado and northern Mexico and will continue Saturday. Portions of the southern Colorado Rockies could see between 3 and 5 feet of snow. Strong winds could cause blizzard conditions. this storm is gonna make it to nh sun night into tues

  11. I have one of these in a 181 and I remember how long it took to build and the hoops I had to jump thru to get it, I think this board is a screamin deal, it's already got a 100$ ptc tune
  12. it's just wax every time you hot wax you add / subtract wax from the base, just put a coat on let it cool scrape it, put a coat on let it cool scrape it, it it was a warm klister, cut it with a cold wax a few times, no time at all it will be absorbed, your base will be proctected and no harm done
  13. I use intec on my rear foot only ~(left)~ so I have a new unsed right intec heel that I will trade for a new left intec heel
  14. So, do you get all these so-called characteristics in one package? Yes :D Do I get a board that can be aggressive, responsive, calm and damp depending on my input and the number of balls I have, as Virus is known to do? Yes :D http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc57/ursle/Vue/cyborg.jpg
  15. Used to use the shintronics, great for the front of the shin, I think something like a gel mouse pad placed where you want it http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=45
  16. I'm in I skate going today, roller skates, spent the summer on the bike, love carving uphill or into the wind, already got the heart and lungs dialed in, skating streaches out the frame-- driving to fla this pm get two weeks to keep streaching nothing like rubber knees moderation in all things
  17. Jamar you raise the question how many years did virus make swoards for, I have a 175 med swoard that I wonder about, I'd love to think it was a virus, well that's it, I think it IS a virus, great... that makes nine
  18. My vote is for one of steph's two escapes, bet they are in like new shape http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=17095
  19. Be as small as you can, be as still as you can
  20. A dull tool is a dangerous tool take gleb with to ptc you so he can pick up an Arc'teryx jacket :)
  21. I don't understand what difference sidecut makes to riders that touch their hands down on every turn unweighting the board, taking the energy out of the board, pivoting the board around the hands making a 9.42 radius board into a 5.4 radius board Back to developing a substance to keep my zylon boards from getting sunburn :rolleyes:
  22. If noweddings is six feet and it's over his nose it's a 173- 175
