creepy

that's where good throtle response comes in handy, not to mention high pitch/rpm

make your own sportscar. mine is in progress. I'm building it from an old ford explorer. the insurance is less as they still see it as an suv but you dont have the luxuries like, you know, a floor. but it will be fast.
-
Yeah, I'm mr freeze too. I guess a lot of people out there like the cold.
-
last year an older guy stopped me at the bottom of the slope and called me the "most graceful snowboarder I have ever seen." That's my best one yet. I felt really respected.

so what's so magical about these viruses, anyway? Seemed like it was working though.
-
Please respond. Send specs if possible. Shoot me back an e-mail via this site.
Thanks!

uh-oh. He's hooked. Passed the point of no return.

my second board, on which I learned alpine, was an alp 5.6 with softies. It tought me just fine. I couldn't get away with that now that I wear size 12. I dont know if I ever really carved in that setup but it was cool to think I was a carver when I was 12. My sister now rides that setup and doesn't carve for fear of the brutal learning curve. Yes it is possible to carve a race board with softies. No it is not as rigid and strong IMHO.

SO as im get into my car, I look up and notice a poster taking up a whole window and It catches my eye... They guy is in hard boots, and not on skis..
Its a poster from The north face i think... pretty big too, like 4'x8'
Kind of ironic since they obviously dont sell alpine gear.
anyone else seen this?
I've seen the same type of thing at my local sports authority. It was a '80s suy in the then fassionable dayglow that was aireborn halfway thouugh a carve. The place doesn't know what alpine gear is.

I'm up in winter park 40 times per season. Parents have a condo and I have the season pass. Only have to pay for gas and food. Brian, I cant help you find lodging but I can tell you that WP is a great place. The connected Mary Jane has some of the best bumps I've ever ridden. Vasquez has some fine carving blues. There are a lot of catwalks, though.
-
the way its set up looks like it couldn't lean over past 50 or 60 degrees. still looks cool though

sew a piece of milk carton to the palm

I use minimal to no vitamins. For energy on the slopes, I just have pasta or lasagna or something else high in carbs the night before boarding. I find that works for me.

welcome to bomberonline. glad to see another committed carver.

I'm still young (16) and taking great risks when hardbooting (mostly last run of the day after denying total exhaustion). I crash so often that smacking the skid lid has become mundane. Thank God my parents got me started on helmets when I learned to ski 13 years ago. I use it every day I'm on the slopes. My parents would be bankrupt or off snowsports forever without the money saving device called a helmet. Like everyone else said, it's warm, it's windproof, it agrees with googles. I have never skied or boarded without a helmet.
ps-don't say you board with a helmet and have an avatar of yourself carving without a helmet
-
I learned on this board when I was 12, then I outgrew it and gave it to my sister. It is a great board and it seems to be working out for her. At least she prefers it over her other burton freestyle-type board. I highly reccommend it to women or guys within the weight limit.
-
I thought it was cool, but kinda impractical. Plus I had already seen it on sliverfish. Its a cool idea though, maybe it just needs some refinement so it can be used on lighter snow.
If you keep refining it, it will be a snowboard :D
-
I have a prior atv 167... some dings on the top sheet.. used this season only will consider reasonable offer.
Ken
...considering...
got pictures?
I cant spend too much on a new board. The rest of my quiver nearly sucked me dry. This is an addiction.
-
Time for a new all mountain board. Any Prior ATV's out there that I can consider?
-
If you want a good cheap longboard do what I did. Wait for a friend to get a new one and take his old longboard
. That worked for me. -
You all make it seem that I (clearly a kid at age 15) should be doing the park and pipes instead of carving!
I, myself, was "converted" by my uncle that threw me on a skwal 3 years ago. I got hooked into this wonderful sport through sheer admiration. I dont think anyone less connected to me could have talked me out of soft boots. -
...really makes you want to start racing, huh! Again, sorry for the hijack.
:o
no problem:D
-
I suppose I want to know who the 4 guys who like steal boards are...
ditto
always lock it up!!!!!!!
. That worked for me.
What angles do you ride on your soft boot board?
in Carving Central
