Riceball Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Can't tonight. Maybe tomorrow night (Thursday). I'll see how late I need to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riceball Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Damn, it's not going to happen for me tonight. Too much on my plate for tonight. Sorry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Broadsword Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hello, Just took my first ride on my Alpine set up at Nakiska on Saturday. Would have felt better had I done up the high back setting on the boots. Not sure if I am set up ok or simply in fear of putting the board onto its edge but the toe side turns are real sketchy - in fact its all sketchy. Is anyone going to COP this Thursday evening who could give me a pointer or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceball Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 There were a few of us at Nakiska today. Too bad we missed each other this weekend. I have a database change scheduled for Thursday night from 8-9, so can't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti_knee Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I can make this Thursday. What time? I teach, so I can be there around 4:30. Send me an email. This will be my second time on an alpine setup :) First time went OK, but bindings weren't set up correctly and my boots don't really fit well. (Anybody with some decent 27's they want to sell!?)

ti_knee Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Would some 26.5 boots fit? Possibly. My ski boots are 26.5. I found a really old and rickety pair of Burton Reactors that are 26.5 and the shells are the right size, but liners are way too short. My ski boot liners do work but my heel slops around like crazy. What do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceball Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I have 2 pairs of Raichle 125, 4-buckle race boots that I keep on hand to lend to people who have no boots but want to try carving. They are 25.5 and 26.5. You are welcome to try the 26.5's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 If you guys want some help with setups, etc, I can drop out there after work (5.30-ish) on Thursday. I won't ride, but I'll happily come and field questions, if you want someone to point you in the right direction. Steve, I could pick those boots up during the week, and run them out there for Ti to try. I'd offer to let him try mine, but they're a struggle for me to get into with my skinny feet, much less anyone else ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceball Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I was able to give my work for Thursday night to someone else, so I'll come ride. I have a meeting right up until 4:30pm, so won't be there until about 5:30. I'll bring the boots and a couple boards/bindings. Allison, you should come out and ride!

Danny Broadsword Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks for the response - I am going to COP straight from work. So should be there for 6pm. I did a bit more reading on the set up section and I have pushed the bindings forward so my stance should be over centre more and I raised my toe on the front binding. Looking forward even for some one to take a visual once over, have a quick chat and a coffee... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti_knee Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 See you all there around 5:30. Thanks for the offer to try the boots! I'm going to try some extra padding in the Reactors around the tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Re the extra padding - I bought a set of Cooper soccer shinpads from Cambodian Tire last week for just that purpose. They're a soft foam, and they have the full pull on sock so they stay in place. They were $9. I wore them on the weekend, and they were great. Might be worth a try ...

Riceball Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Looks like Alaina will join us too. See you Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flywalker Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Bit off topic but l have an almost unused pair of Burton Reactors in a 26.5-27.0. Liners are in the same condition. l'll be home next week and can lend them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 7 carvers on the little hill last night - fell down a couple of huge trenches in the soft stuff in the middle, later in the night - who was that????? Thanks all for a good night out - must do it again in Jan sometime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Broadsword Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Thanks to you all for meeting up and sparing the time to check over the board - I didn't even know there was a line under the boot to check to ensure it was centred on the binding. I really regret I wasn't able to join you on the slope but if there is another opportunity before Christmas Eve then I would like to meet up again.
