Hi Jack, email is grreszel at mindspring daht com.

I purchased this back in Nov I believe and I need to unload some gear and alas this bird has to go. It has about 20 days on it. Excellent base (waxed, sharp and no damage) and top isn't too bad either (handful of lift line nicks - no damage past the topsheet). Top sheet is matte finish (not titanal). Sidewall: WCC 184PRW 05TZ1 -6-4 $295.00, shipped in L48

After tomorrow I probably won't get back to Copper this season but I'll be in Snowmass in late Feb (too late for SES) and perhaps I'll seek some expert help at that time. Anyone have suggestions for Snowmass carving pedagogues? Meanwhile tomorrow a.m. I'll check in with Fin and btw this post has been most helpful for technique ideas: http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=23482 Experts run this forum and its posters know their stuff, thank you so much.

I didn't realize bomber was closed today but Fin was very helpful on the phone and talked about what you mention above, the 'home' position which I will try tonight along with some Negras. There's a lot in your post and I really appreciate it, I'm going to Bomber in the morning then I'll head out and give it my best. Currently trying Andy's, Moz, Copperfield and Soliliquy when I'm smart enough to slow it down. Many thanks to all, I really appreciate it, GM Reszel

Do you mean like in flat track where where you turn into the skid?

As I recall my technique, I realize I haven't been bending my knees enough and I think I'm doing just the opposite with my arms - I think I got that from the early days when someone told me to point with your leading arm the direction you want to go. Today was a rest day, more R&D tomorrow (Tues).

Thanks Divebomb, Pat and Gecko. I just realized I'm confusing cant with lift . Thanks for the tweakomatic Pat - now I'm getting the cant picture.

Great advice (as per usual of this board); thanks Dan and all.

Thanks T and Fin for the responses. Fin I might just drive to Silverthorne today. Currently my front boot leans to the rear and rear boot leans forward - that was my understanding of how it should be set. I would love to support the Copper ski school and I'm sure that'd be the ticket. Unfortunately, this financially struggling luthier has to seek more economical solutions (for this trip anyway). It's about noon, Fin I'm coming to visit.

Hi all, I live in the midwest and get about 2 weeks a year on my board. I'm having some difficulty this week at Copper and would love anyone's experience/advice/compassion, etc. First, I realize my difficulties lie with pure attrition; I don't do this enough where carving technique feels natural. But I'm wondering if perhaps my setup isn't correct. In a nutshell I feel like I'm fighting the stance of my boots, particularly rear - meaing I want to move my legs and feet way different than the current position of the boots will allow - the stance feels really unnatural. (Quick stats: Rossi 165 dualtec, Raichle123, TD2 step in, Regular stance, 3°, 3°, 50°, 50°, I'm 5'10", 190). By the end of the day yesterday my shins hurt so bad just because I feel like I was fighting my boots and position. My cants are parallel with the length of the board, front toe lift, rear heel raised as is my understanding of how it's supposed to be set for a starting point. I was thinking of turning the cants more in direction of the boot angles - that's my interpretation of correcting the problem (or what of a 6° rear?). My rear foot really feels like it wants a less steep angle but my understanding is you don't want it much less than 50° lest the boot drag (although my carves don't even come close to where that's an issue). So that's it in a nutshell, I would love anyone's advice on playing with the cants and boot angles. I'm at Copper until Wednesday, 7th - feel free to call as well and thank you ahead for your help, GM Reszel, 260-760-5499

Hi K, sorry to contact you here but I don't have your email. I bought the yellow coiler pure race awhile back and I need to sell it. Could you email me the specs and history of the board? thank you, GM Reszel
