Tabatha Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 T&L on Bank did burn down and they are currently using their warehouse off Russell - however you can not drop off a board for a tune-up at the warehouse. I believe for a T&L tune-up you have to head to Carling. T&L were a little further south on Bank for a while, but the space has been taken over by Kunstandt. If people need boot fitting, Ian is a master - he used my oven to fit my new boots and it worked like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 If people need boot fitting, Ian is a master - he used my oven to fit my new boots and it worked like a charm. Thank you Tabatha, but I wouldn't call me a master yet...it was my first successful thermo-mold! You guys won't believe this - I took my Coiler into the aforementioned Kunstadt on Bank St. today for a tune, and a guy named Gord there surprised me by: Recognizing an alpine board Recognizing the Coiler brand Saying that he owns two Skwals! He offered to let me take one out for a day What's 30 degrees between friends, right? I was out at Vorlage last night, and it was pretty good. There were a fair number of bumps and icy spots, and only two or three runs open so far. They were snow-making a lot on the other half of the hill, though...I believe I heard someone say the rest would be open around Thursday. I'll be back out Thursday night with friends if anyone else is free to play :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaRtharsis Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Ha! I know Gord. Have known him quite awhile. He used to bartend at Gracies West and also worked the bar at Edelweiss. Small world. I was talking to him at Kunstadt las week when I was in looking for a helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Cool! He seems like a great guy. Uh-oh...I think I'm... going to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabatha Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Gord gave me free screws for my bindings 'cause I was a few short (and he used to be a rep). He also has a few short boards he is trying to sell. I asked Brian P about them and he said they are an older variety and not high quality - but if anyone needs a small cheapo board he has about 6. I think they are SMALL though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loopback Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 philpjo and I are in the car on our way to Philly for a few days work, we're going to try and hit somewhere in Vermont/NY on the way back. Enjoy Tuesday!! Kundstats small boards are Scott Strikers @152cm and a few Oxygen Apex at 156cm (white and baby blue) I know nothing about the Scotts but bought an O2 Apex 165cm a few years back from them for $50 brand new and still ride it every year. The Kanata location has 1 O2 and 1 Scott, the rest are at Bank..... Anyone in for a weekday at Calabogie in Feb?? //Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 There are so many of us around here, and I don't think many of us have had a chance to ride together. Let's change that! Here's my suggestion: contribute aliases and names (is everyone okay with that?) to the list below of anyone in the Ottawa area. Beside your name, just write your general availability (ie. Weekends, Tuesday nights, Weekdays in order of preference) for riding. Feel free to invite anyone who is not on Bomber also. We'll see what shakes out a pick a day to rip it up together! <copy, paste="" in="" reply="">(copy and paste list into reply as opposed to quoting to update) Ian M - Ian MacKenzie - Fridays, weekends, weeknights :) Tabatha - CaRtharsis - Loopback - Keyser Soze - Knightchocolate - Brian ___ (Tabby's teacher at Fortune)</copy,> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Soze Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Tabatha and I will be out at Vorlage Tuesday Jan. 12th for the evening if anyone else would like to come play :D Unfortunately, I've got class on Tuesday nights. As for the rest of my avail, I play Futsal Wednesday nights, and Thursday may be a recovery day for my knee. Other than that, I'll start riding at good old empty Cascades in the evenings when my board arrives. Is anybody riding spacers on their metal?

What board are you receiving? I don't use spacers, but I have plush elastomers on my TD3's. Chris was talking yesterday about running plastic protective plates on his new Coiler because he uses Catek's. Bruce is also reinforcing the board because of that binding choice. Which bindings are you running?

CaRtharsis Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Keyser I likely will be ordering the Catek spacers. Let me know if you are interested. There is a guy in Canada that keeps most of this stuff in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I just got an 09 SG, and I've got Catek WCs on the way. With the Broken Virus thread, I've become really concerned about running Cateks on my first foray into the wonderful world of metal. Chris, thanks for keeping me in mind, I was looking at the Catek spacers, but given that I'm on a budget, I'll likely make some homemade plates from Teflon or Lexan. I'm looking into it tomorrow.

CaRtharsis Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 So loopback are you interested in riding tonight? Ian and Tabby will be @ Vorlage @ 6 and I'll be there sometime after. Keyser, Bruce and I had numerous discussions about Cateks on Metal. He prefers the TD's. That being said, he has numerous people riding Cateks on his boards and has yet to actually see any issues. My VSR will have extra reinforcements built in to help compensate. That being said, I am a big guy and can lay ALOT of pressure to my edges so we are being proactive in the construction. I will still be installing the catek plates just cause I don't want to mess up the top sheet more than anything. And the new setup will be run on D3's so we'll see how all that works out.

Keyser Soze Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I picked up two square feet of Lexan today from Canus Plastics, hopefully they'll be cut by tomorrow and my binders come in. Then I'll just need screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Tabby and I rode at Vorlage tonight, and it was empty! 90% of the time, we had whatever run we were on completely to ourselves :D The snow was very firm, but not icy; nice and consistent too! Of the three times I've ridden there evenings this year, it was the quietest. Yay for weeknights at Vorlage!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
