I'm looking to hook up with carvers this winter. I'm going to be at Park City Dec 10-17 and Heavenly Jan 22-29. I want to learn about the gear, try as much as I can and start getting set up. I've been riding about 5 yr and realized last year that I was starting to carve and really enjoying the ride. There is something unreal about coming out of a carve with so much momentum that you let it carry you UP the slope, and then you lean back DOWNHILL and roll the edge into the next carve, still going up!

I've got an interest in your TD1s. Please send photos and complete listing of what is included ! bjvircks@earthlink.net Thnx, Brad

I'm a mechanical engineer and design high performance military avionics. I know from experiance that sometimes what looks the worst is not what caused the failure. Having said that, I must say that I would first suspect any plastic parts of the system. From time to time we've had had product failures in good, well designed parts due to plastic resin lot variations, a molder making changes in the additive package, the compounder changing the molecular weight distribution, or someone along the way not maintaining good control of moisture content in the resin. When plastic is good it can be great asset to a product, but controls need to be in place.:(
