Don't forget the Beav.

I can't believe I missed this thread. This is something I've been having on my mind for quite some time... THIS IS IT. Im gonna have to watch this closely like a hawk.

I beg to differ. This is where it is at: What's this? However, it'd be interesting if it was three straps.

I'm kinda a late-comer, and I voted Cord. I used to be a powder head, and I have seen the "storm of the century" (Mt Baker 98-99 the year all records were broken) and experienced deep deep powder. It was enough to satisfy me to last a life time, really. So since then, I've got uh... "snobbish" when it comes to cord. :) Nothing like craving the cord truly solid (i.e. pencil thin carve lines) on my skis, alpine board and maybe my freeride boards. I have a strong preference of carving with my skis. :)

Yeah, I've been getting several spam emails from one guy from here -- Snowman. I've tried to get a hold of him, and no luck so far, to let him know about his email.

Yep. Cell Asterisk will suffice for the time being, however I ain't no doctor, either.

Yeah, I remember that name over the years since early 90's. God speed.

Uhm, I like Daisy's jeep more than that General Lee car. :p

This may sound like a serious expense, but I do know a house built into the ground (or semi-buried into the ground) are very good at keeping it cool in summer and warm in the winter. Otherwise, a coolant-filled with heat running into the pipes around under the floor is a good way to keep the house warm. That's if your floor is wood and the spending money is the "sky's the limit."

I'm in Rochester, NY. Is that good for you two guys??

More cowbells.

For some reasons, I initially thought of the cougar before I clicked on the link. And I went "urk." when I saw the entry. Oh joy.

Hmm, I think this is something I've _NOT_ done ever since I got my first red UPZ boots back in 2004. I'm gonna try this method.

Ugh. I wish I knew about this in advance.

Ugh, I wish I knew about this in advance.

Surprised to see you still lurking here. :)

I'm so happy to proclaim I'm a proud owner of Lib Tech NAS 178! I've tried it with my UPZ boots last year, and I truly like it!! Any other hardbooters ski?

Now, John Gilmour, I truly wish we MET! I'm quite certain we will one of these days. :)

That reminds me. I specifically got the Emma Peel because of the sidecut radius of 8. And I really like the quick responsive of the carve and so forth. However, as for Madd 158, I believe it's in the range of 10.50 sidecut radius, and yet it rails real good. But I think it's more of the speed of correlations -- cuz I'm able to really crank with the Madd 158 during the railing to make pencil line turn marks, whilst with my Emma Peels, it's more of mellow carving free riding with a free spirit freestylin' as in fun ride! And yes I'm still not convinced about the Banana Technology. -sigh- Tho I've graduated to NAS (Narrow Ass Snowboards which is actually a pair of skis) by Lib Tech. :)

I have the Victoria Jealouse. :) I got either 2 or 3 of the Emma Peels. No, I'm sure I have two. One of my Emma Peel that I personally made at the factory got stolen. :-/ I've been looking for the one with the half of an anime face of a woman on the base. That's the one i want so badly. The one I got is the one with Victoria and another is the one with the hummingbird. I love the hummingbird version soooo much.

I don't own the original Madd 158 tho I have the batch from the last two or three batches ago. I love it so much. It even says "The Pimp." :) Anyways, seriously, I've ridden Fin's original Madd 158. omg. I can tell the difference real quick on the difference of the slickiness. The railing, they both are the same, imo. Tho I'm still on the look out for the original Madd 158, tho I think the chances are real nil as bad as it is for my looking out for the old Lib Tech Emma Peel (a particular graphic -- 1998 or so). Sh*t. Im gettin' too old.

Hmm. I have the older version of UPZ boots -- the red ones. I love them so much that I actually ski with them ALL THE TIME. Uhm, a couple of insight that -might- be useful... when I switch to hardbooting from skiing, I leave the toe DIN on. And it does feel just -right- besides being extremely slippery with walking those around the place. It's lower. I'm able to lean forward on my Madd 158. With the hardboot toe Pads on, it feels too much of an "uppity." I like leaning foward as I charge down cranking some rails. NOW, I do not know if it would be the same with the RC-10. And YES, those tongue liners are a B---H to deal with when inserting my feet in. -sigh-

I got 'em on my UPZ and they work just fine. Even with the Eliminator shin padding in its place, too.

Well, I noticed when I squat while ducking stancing, I feel a lot more comfortable. I don't know if that makes sense at all.

Ah, it's not just that. I have had some days where the riding was so much fun, and I have had some days where the riding was so much crap. It goes the same for skiing and softie. And my mileage on the snow is ALOT.
