Mxjas38 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I just raced my first two USASA BX races of the season Sunday.(They ran two back to back on the same day.) I took first in both in the Men's Open Snowboarder Class My new Donek Saber worked great!!! Thanks to Sean for building such a great board tailored just for me. 169cm. 10m-13m VSR 20cm. Waist The first pic is when my board got stuck under the cross bar of the gate. There was obviously a restart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mxjas38 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 "What made u decide set on high angle set up on a wider deck and same angles (obviously it works:rolleyes:)? " Big feet I guess, Mondo 29. Plus I have ridden with those angles for many years, I guess I am just comfortable and when I went from an 18cm board to 20 I did not change them. I used to ride at the reference points on my Burton which was 17.5" I think, but recently widened my stance to about 20" and I like it very much. I seem to adjust to different stances and boards easily, so I never really change it up to much. "Note: Burton Race Plate, lots of flex = Watch closely for older fatique parts...http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=31521&page=4 (#101)" This is definately a concern of mine. I think my next investment will be TD3 Sidewinders. Will these be similar in flex to Burton Race Plates? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarvingScooby Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 ...This is definately a concern of mine. I think my next investment will be TD3 Sidewinders. Will these be similar in flex to Burton Race Plates? Jason TD3SW: I can't say for now, I haven't tried mine yet. But assuming yes u wud. TD2: For POW or similar condition I loosen the The "Toe Bail" either by mikro adjustment (loosen the lugs) or move one notch the Toe Block for deep POW. This way my boot can wiggle inside the binding. But thn I also combining TD3 E-ring (Elastomer) thn + add the TD2 suspension kit. This set up work so great on my powder/freeride and also Race Deck that I'm considering to let it go my other brand bindings. http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30599&highlight=Suspension This set up give more variety to adjust the flex/softness and still has the "strong" respond of TD's binding when u need it. I experiment also by changing the TD3 Elastomer with Red & Blue and I can get more respond on hard pack/icy condition on my Race/Alpine decks while its still do its job giving the "cushioning/fllex" effect under your boot. Same smooth ride feeling I had on the Hangl Plate on KST. On Race decks I tighten the bindings so tight that boot have no room to wiggle. I'm corious how this set up combine with TD3SW. As my level step up & the newer decks I played - I start widening my stance So far my set up: Race; F-3*Lift R-3*Cant. Stance 19" - 19.5" POW & Freeride; F-3*Cant R-6*Cant. Stance 20.5'-21" BX; on progress. Hope I can help, RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

110/220V Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 good luck you are lucky to have restart...did the opponents give tears for the restart after you win? I see this so many times before with this organisation, but it is all for children and raffleprizes yea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to this at the regional level but 1st place in open class at nationals pays $3,000 this year. I think the bigger races have dropdown gates so that does not happen.

Mxjas38 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 USASA Wintergreen results: I placed first in both events Sunday and am now qualified for Nationals in April! I can't wait to get out there. I will most likely have a few free days the week of nationals because practice is Saturday and I won't race till Thursday. If some of you are close to Copper we will have to try to hook up and do some riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mxjas38 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think on the next board I should have Sean print DONEK across the entire base so you can see it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
