thanks

[One for the Coiler Riders]

Hi groovastic. Have you got your Impact yet? I noticed you said that the Pogo didn't hang on quite as well as your RC, is that true. Also I hear the Alp Pogos have a very short nose. I find boards with short noses tend to fire snow (if it is at all soft) at my hands or face if I'm low enough. Maybe I'm just not going fast enough.

Pogo is an interesting option. One of the guys from down at our hill bought a 210 tyring to break the world speed record. www.speedboarding.co.nz but they put the edges in slightly crooked which made things rather interesting at speed.

Where do I find specs on these boards?

Have you riden a Kessler or Holzinger? The only guys I've seen rideing a Kessler are the Hardbooter.com guys.

I haven't got the Impact yet, but I'm thinking of a custom Pogo. If I'll have enough money

Impact realy has a very short nose, but I had no problems with it. Maybe because of the perfect snow.

And now I'm crazy about boards with short noses because they are lighter and easier to maneuvre, and yet remain a long eff. edge. And this one has no tail at all... I love it!

Look at the specs here http://www.pogo.biz/shop/product_category_displayE.php?cPath=24_42&language=en

I've never riden Kessler or Holzinger.

I'm also interested in Holzinger (Tropical Tube)! Are they dump like Coiler or more lively, like Pogo?

I tried Virus and loved it, but I think Pogos are much cheaper and about the same quality. that's why I choose Pogo.

[One for the Coiler Riders]

I like lively, poppy boards that love to edge on hard icy stuff. So before this ends up sounding too much like a personal add...

Has any one ridden both of these. Which way would you lean for head banger type rideing?

I've got RC 175 custom, and it's very dump!

Maybe it's a Pogo Impact you're looking for

[Head Statos Pro comparing to UPZ and DeeLuxe]

so do you prefere UPZ or Head? they have about the same plastic quality and they both have spring systems, right..?

[Head Statos Pro comparing to UPZ and DeeLuxe]

you got snow yet?

no, but i'm going to austria on a glecher tomorrow :D

but I hear it's quite warm even there :(

[Head Statos Pro comparing to UPZ and DeeLuxe]

I ride UPZ boots and realy love them. The only problem is if it's very very cold outside, tey get hard as a rock, and it's almost impossible for me to carve in them. So I'm thinking of maybe getting new boots..?

So, how would you compare Head to them? or to Deeluxe?

Thanks

[Thinking about a slalom board]

you could try Nidecker and Pogo if you ask me. But Pogo is a bit more expensive. although, it's my favorite brand

[Old Snowboards & Related Wanted]

Don't wait. I am wealthy and it could not save my wife's life. Never wait to do anything. We planned on going to France to ride this winter instead of last. Now she will never see the Alps.

I'm sorry to hear that mate...

But France is really the best choice concerning Alps!

[exercices to get ready for carving]

so... i run every day, ride a bicycle, swim..., but what specific exercices do you suggest to be perfectly fit for carving?

thanks

P.S. my first day on slopes is gonna be this sunday

I'm going to Austria :)

[Need tight turning board]

I think you should try Pogo Overdose (162) or maybe Pogo Hardcore (156). they are very lively and fun to ride! if your wife don't kill you could go for a new one, otherwise, try to find the used one

www.pogo.biz are the best poards in the world

[Old Snowboards & Related Wanted]

so what can you tell about Pogo Dreadlock symmetrisch?

Is it good for carving? and how does it behave in powder?

can you compare it to Impact BX or Hardcore BX?

thanks

[life of a board]

I have a Coiler RC and I must say that it lost a lot of camber and liveliness in first 50 days. maybe not all Coilers are like this...

But, it shouldn't happen to a Pogo, right?

[UPS RSV Superlight - sizing and shape]

- It's true, the UPZ's liner sucks.

I had problems with UPZ liners as well (bruises and stuff), but after some canting adjustments of my bindings, i have no more problems

[Aluminum Material in Board Tails]

have you tried your Pogo yet?

comments?

[Madd vs Pogo]

I've never tried a Madd, and by the reviews here, it should be very good!

So, how would you compare

Madd 170 and Pogo Impact

or

Madd 180 and Pogo Blitz

Thanks a lot!

[life of a board]

Hi all!

i wanted to ask if it's really true that Pogo and Virus boards last forever. I mean, we all know that even a custom made board doesn't behave same after 100 or 200 days riding, as it used to on the 2nd week after purchasing it.

so is it worth paying Eur1000 or more for those boards if they really last for years? and does titanal affect it in any way?

thanks

[Woodies]

no the wood is inlaid to the titanal over the zylon

WOW! Crazy techno stuff!

Is that like 3000 euro board??? how much did you pay for it?

have you already tried it? it's more lively than dump I guess, right?

Do you know if it's possible to test something like that in Europe?

I realy love it!

I've tested Virus Nightmare and Pogo Impact this winter and I must say they're great! In the beginning, Virus' width felt strange, but when I got used to it.... wooooofff! Banging!

[Woodies]

it's a virus cyborg inlaid with wood

is it titanal over the wood?

[Woodies]

I think this sucker qualifies

it's the Vamp , right?

I love the look of it! And it looks as if it could ride great!

How much money, if I may ask?

[Woodies]

ohh, kinda random and out of the blue, how do the arbor alpine boards ride? they look delicate... beautiful, but delicate. are they good for hard carving or more of a soft carving board?

I hear they are rather soft.

but arbor dosn't make alpine boards any more

One contest to rule them all:

Be a mechanical engineer (or mechanical engineering tech like me) and win a JOB at Donek!

I'm on my 4th year of electrotechnics... is there a chance that I could get a summer job at Donek before I get my diploma..?

[Woodies]

Im boored... I need some shiney boards to drool over. I know theres a few arbors and such floating around here... so who's got a woodie? doesnt need to be alpine or full wood, inlays are acceptable.

heres mine:cool:

Yeah!

I tried a Pogo Impact this winter and simply loooooooooooooooooved it!

[Woodies]

Nice pics, I really love wood boards and am a huge fan of Arbor's. I have a 170 A-Frame, 165 and 155 Mickey Munoz. The rest of the boards in these pics belong to friends that also like Arbors.

WOOOOOOOOWWWW
