  1. For me it's about feel....I have specific boards for different conditions.... fresh, light, deep = Nitro 188...fresh, heavy, deep = nitro 178...some deep, some crud, some pack = Osin 178.... but it was a couple notches below on "feel" before the mod...good all around but not as sweet in the deep...it's closer now without me worrying about breaking off a tail like I do when I hit ruts & moguls w/ a Nitro....If you've ever ridden an original bungee swallowtail... it's that feeling you remember & strive for. Since I can't ride mine except on VERY special occasions, I'd like to come as close to that feeling as conditions will allow.... or I might as well stay home & not be dissapointed....

    PS...longer = smoother

  2. I did this a couple weeks ago to get a better feel in ALL that powder we've been havingnewsin.jpg I'd be happy to do yours Bobby,,, I like my line better than the "nitro" look & it wasn't more than 30 minutes start to finish...Still handles the hardpack well just a little softer in the tail, makes it ride a little "longer" :biggthump

  3. Ya, Bryan is a hero... I think he's feverishly typing his list & should have it done in early 07... I updated my list to show the ones I bought in the last year... I bought 2 tinklers & 2 F2s from Rosey Fletcher, but never 5 of anything ...LUCKY.....I would love 5 F2s......and it goes without saying, that except for the winterstick, anyone can use any one of my boards any time they want....they just have to ask (& come to my house).

    The question for me now is... if I could only keep one board...which one would it be? :cool:

  4. "the sick part is...PeterC...if I remember correctly, didnt you just start alpine last year? I remember you buying up gear like it was the apocalypse...

    maybe it was someone else"

    Nope it was me... I've been through some boots & boards eh? looking for the perfect fit & stick :lol: March will be one year in hard boots for me, although my first ride was in 1980 on a winterstick swallowtail... I am thinning the herd....slowly.... but they're so pretty & I thought somebody said this sport was dying...

  6. Not even a year ago.... just below road to provo...thought i was doing ok on my burton twin....then HE goes screaming by me....not really sure who it was... Tilledog says it was probably KMcD...the rest is a sordid tale of money gone, stacks of boards & lame excuses.... who ever that stranger was...

    Thanks...
