Cheers

[Goggles]

i've got Alpina Imperior http://www.alpinasport.ch/typo/Skibrillen.9.0.html and I must say I've never gad better lens in my life!!!!

I've got only orange Quattroflex lens but it's great for all weather! I LOVE Quattroflex!

maybe if they have a model with changable lenses...

[Compliment?]

i have heard this comment a few times and my response is " i will stop making ruts if you stop making moguls":rolleyes:

[Advanced Freerider/Beginner Carver: Can you help me with board decision?]

It's Dobar dan ;)

I don't ride in croatia since there's only one hill close to my town and it's only 1000 m high...

i usually go to Slovenia for weekend rides

better stick to croatian coast. not the hills ;)

[Advanced Freerider/Beginner Carver: Can you help me with board decision?]

I don't think you should go for SL or GS specific boards. I think Silberpfeil would do just fine.

maybe it would be good to test 2 or 3 different lengths to decide wich one to get.

just my 2 cents

but i think renntiger gs 168 would work fine too

[Need a cool picture]

i can only give you my pic, but i'm sure there are guys with much better ones here :o

[Advanced Freerider/Beginner Carver: Can you help me with board decision?]

As Trikerdad said, AM boards like 4WD are not for you if you're not gonna spend time off piste. I'd go for something like FreeCarve or Race/Carve board.

I must say I somehow prefere European boards, so I'd say Silberpfeil or some SG or Nidecker or Goltes would be a good choice.

I think European boards are a bit easier to ride and stay cambered for longer period of time. Especially boards like Pogo or Virus, but they are really expensive!

Welcome to the carving world

[New Article]

GREAT!

That's what I'd like to do. Maybe in Pogo or Virus or some other European factory...

I've been thinking about it for 3 years now, but I still haven't done anything about it

how long did it take to make that beauty?

[VIRUS teaser]

So when will you tell us how it rides?

And can one chose how he wants a Custom edition board to be made, like yours has Titanal with a Zylon, Carbon, Kevlar construction.

Can I have a board with Titanal, Vectran, Carbon and Kevlar construction made?

What is a price range of Custom edition boards?

And can it look like the attached one? Or is it the same as yours, just looks different because of the light?

Thanks

[Catek OS2]

Catek OS2 Step-In long with D3 elastomer kit is what I would like to buy.

So if somebody has Cateks for sale...

thanks

[Xtasy Element]

it's 169 cm

Elements are snappy too?

Is Element any good in non perfect groom?

thanks again!

[Xtasy Element]

I bought Xtasy FreeCarve Element Wind on ebay.de for € 190 :p

www.xtasy-snowboards.de

list price is € 529!

Anybody ever tried any of the Xtasy snowboards?

I haven't got it shipped yet, and I'm eager to know what it's like.

[Prior Metal compared to SG Race T]

Sorry for being annoying :o with metal boards again...

I tested SG Race T, and loved the metal in it! (It was my first metal board to ride)

Has somebody tried both, SG Race T and Prior Metal?

Could you say how damp, snappy, lively, turny.... they are compared one to the other?

They seem to have quite similar specs, except for radius. SG's radius is bigger.

Thanks!

[New alpinepunk-site!]

can metalburners be tested somewhere in austria, italy, slovenia or maybe france?

[do all the metal boards feel same?]

I don't know if I would describe metal boards as torsionaly stiffer, and longitudinaly not stiffer, but I know that metal seems to somehow adjust it's shape to the slope and it feels like a board follows the snow perfectly!

just my 2 cents

[do all the metal boards feel same?]

I DO like metal!

At least the SG Race T I've tried! I liked it much more than non metal SG boards

[do all the metal boards feel same?]

thanks guys!

so, if say, I like Virus model A (non metal) better than say Coiler model B (non metal), is it likely that I'll love the same Virus model A only with metal better than the same Coiler model B with metal?

thanks again

[do all the metal boards feel same?]

It's a stupid question, but I tried only one metal board (SG Race T 78) and loved it.

now I'd like to know if all the metal boards on the market (Prior, Coiler, Volkl, Virus...) have the same feel, or is there any difference between them? Is one more dump than another, or more lively or more springy....

And does longer or rounded tail has something to do with metal?

Thanks

[New f2 Silberpfeil with Titanal?]

and what about Volkl RT GS?

Is it Titanal or just "partialy" titanal like silberpfeil?

Anyone tested it?

thanks again

[New f2 Silberpfeil with Titanal?]

Anybody tried that board?

I hear Silberpfeils are quite soft, and I'd like a good board for rather agressive carving. I fell in love with titanal, and this seems to be the cheapest metal board on the market... that's why I want to know if someone tried it.

thanks

[why didn't anybody tell me about TITANAL?!?]

OH MEIN GOTT!!!

I tried SG Race Titanal 178 the other day!

This Titanal thing is the most beautiful thing that ever happened to snowboarding

My english is too bad to describe my feelings so I won't say anything else.

Happy New Year and ride Titanal!!!

[Sigi Grabner boards]

I tried AM Alpine (Cult) 3 days ago, and it holds edge very good considering it's edge length. But I simply don't like the style of the board...

I tried SG 178 Titanal too and LOVE IT! It was my first metal board to ride ever, but I simply love this metal feel!!!

[why am i in so much pain?]

I've had that problem with my UPZs when I bought them. I've been playing with different canting and now I have no more troubles.

Luckily, I have Cateks

["its a snowboard" decals]

I like this one!

anybody knows where to find a digital version?

[bustin' out of Catek's]

keep them very tight! I almost ruined mines by not tightening then enough!
