nekdut Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Hey NMU Boarder, What year is that 159 FP? I didnt know Burton made an FP that short that had a GS-ish sidecut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamran Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 hey i already did 360 km/h beat that! Then you must be a very experienced skydiver, doing it either on an absolute "divin" or "standin" position from a considerable altitude, as the terminal velocity for a falling human being with arms and legs outstretched is about 190 km per hour ( assuming 100kg weight and a g of 9.8 m/s/s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess boogieman must be a pro skydiver who specializes in high altitude low open jump (HALO) jumps or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boogieman Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 head down all the way, anyway thats what my pro track told me and if you dont beleve me come to belgium and try to catch up with me! and besides theres a lot more to it then just your weight for example how tall you are what kind of suit you wear the porosity of your suit (with a wing suit your at 80km/h aprox) and how flat you fall since falling flat is pretty difficult but standing on your head and going straight down is a lot more difficult and yes i did quite a fuw jumps yes and stop reading about it just do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest Randy S. Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 What's most remarkable about this conversation is that someone has gone 200 kph on a snowboard! That's f'ing awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gendzwill Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I think this poll proves why the alpine manufacturers have a market - this averages out to at least 5 boards/person, probably more. How many casual riders have more than one or two boards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Dold Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I have a friend in Oregon who has something like 40 boards, it's amazing. You go in his house and they're all stacked along the wall about four or five boards thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 thomas: I have an Option Makinen Jr. in 120 that I'd be willing to trade for something in either a 128 or 138 range. The base of the board is in excellent shape, the top sheet has the usual knicks from careless kids. Location is Toronto but shipping is no prob. Lemme know.

Henry Alas, the mini-Makinen sounds cool but it's the 105cm that will get freed up. The 138 is my daughter's new board this season. T.

I didnt know Burton made an FP that short that had a GS-ish sidecut. 95/96.... I was surprised as heck when I found it too..... It works perfect here in the Mid-West. Short enough to deal with the crowds, yet enought sidecut to let it loose on a race course.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smitty Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hey guys: I think I may have most of you beat- I haven't counted since the end of last season, but since this sept. I've added about 9 more to my shrine..... which brings me to about 46-48 boards in all. Many of mine are specialty, old school, promotional or special edition boards that don't have a lot of use. As far as JUST carving boards, I have about 10-12 out of the whole pack of em. And guess what- the most I've paid for a board or package was $140. Rock on! (shred on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangten247 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I've got 4 right now: Rossi 167 CM VAS race board, red white & blue (primary ride) Rossi 168 CM Throttle board (Just got it last week, was going to be a backup, but since my buddy is converting from the soft side, I'm going to hook him up for what I paid for it and sell it to him, and [shameless plug]I'm selling off his shorter carving boards that are unsuitable for him in the Bomber classifieds to help finance it.) Burton Supermodel 173 (Supermodels have been my PRIMARY boards for almost 10 years now, WITH plates, but since I'm riding back east now, I am keeping this board on hand specifically for out west powder riding) Burton 180 CM, right now I'm havign a brain cramp remembering if its a FP or UP. I intend on selling very soon, not riding. I like my Rossi Race VAS 167 for serious carving, and my Supermodel for powder and the like, but anything else is always open game for selling. I'm always looking locally to pick up a board or two and pass them along after tuning them up for minimal profit. When I flip enough of them, I'll buy a Donek and sell my Rossi 167. As much as I'd like to have 50, I'm trying to get the quiver down to 2 boards. It's bad enough I have 4 bikes and 3 surfboards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
