Hey all,
There are a few more up here. I was out Sunday and today in the late morning and saw a few hardbooters. My board is being tuned right now and I look forward to joining you on the slopes. She is a bit frosty but nothing a little JD won't take care of.

Are the Doneks leaving the factory with a 90 degree bevel or are they already set at 1/2 or 1 degree base and a 1 or 2 degree side bevel?
The Donek's come with a 90 deg. bevel.

I already understand the concept, I was just wondering what people are using out there? Just received my new FC II 175 and was debating on wether or not to shave the edges just yet.

I purchased a 175 FC II also this season and I can't wait to ride it. However I couldn't find it in my wallet to purchase the olympic upgrade. It was the perfect compromise of size and sidecut for here in Minnesota. Mine is solid black.

can i get this stuff off if i dont like it? would you consider applying it to the full length of the board?
From the directions on the back of the package that I purchased, you can take it off pretty easy. They say it should be replaced yearly, not sure maybe this is a marketing campaign. As for a piece the full length of the board, I am sure you can, I just don't know where. They use this stuff to put on the front of your vehicle and on the bottom portion of your doors to protect the paint finish. I just bought a new Donek 175 and I'm going to give it a shot.

The 3M film I mentioned above :lol: was for board protection only due to scratches. It actually does provide some friction on top of the paint finish, so I bet you could use it for a stomp pad if you wanted. When I mentioned it was slick as snot, I meant its easy to apply and you can't mess up. You wet your hands and the surface, peel the back off and wet down the sticky surface. Then you apply and squeege out the water, and wahla.

my boots (stratos pro) have put scratches on my donek topsheet. is a stomp pad the only solution? (i dont want one)
3M makes this clear vinyl used to protect the paint finishes of automobiles. Its called Scotchgard<!-- -->™ Paint Protection Film. I just used it on my new truck roof where the landing pads fall for my yakima rack. It's slick as snot, easy to use and you can't even tell it's on the vehicle. :D

Theses new snowboards are of a capped construction which is of the poorest type. Wonder how good they will be? Even Ride snowboards finally concieded to the capped/sidewall construction and made there 2006 Timeless a sidewall board. Sidewall construction is much stronger and holds an edge better its also a lot smoother. Although it is nice to see small private companies trying to make it in the big, bad world of winter sports retail.
