Mark.Andersen Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 What do you all do when you take 2 or more boards with you when you go carving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Does leaving your boards in a locker room count as "Locked Up"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahcarver Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 You mean someone would actually think of showing up to ride without a second board? :] I ride at a relatively low-crime ski area. The most common crime committed here is someone buying the deep-fried burritos that are 2 for a $1.50 in the lodge (you don't want to carpool with 'those' guys). But, I would never leave my board(s) on the racks/box or in the car. I usually check them at the lodge/rental shop with someone I know. Besides, it's closer than walking back to the parking lot. The danger in having trust in a locked 'box' or 'same key system' is that those systems are all defeatable by anyone who really wants your board. The same with leaving your board in the car. Trust me, there isn't a lock out there that can't be defeated. Every hear of windows (think glass, not software)? They break. Always bring a second board if you have one. The conditions change so much from morning to afternoon it just makes sense to have a second board setup for the changing conditions.

Guest woodman Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I'm even bringing both my son's boards now....:D I've always brought both boards when I go. It's just to much damn fun switching to another board especially when the conditions change. I've always kept them in the car as well. Even though I have a roof rack, it's too easy for someone to walk away with your pride and joy. Is this a bad thing? My name is Paul, and I'm a multiple board user......... Good carving, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I took the habit of taking only one board a short while after getting my new freecarve board2 years ago. When I bring two boards, which is rare, I leave it in my car with an old blanket over it. And the board is as old as the car, so none look like a good target.

Bob L. Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I know it's blashphemy but I bring my one carving stick and dig the groomers while they (and my legs) last. Then from lunch on it's one of 2 pair of skis (the big Atomics for the chop, boilerplate and/or supersteeps, and the 1080s for the bumps,pow or occasionally the park. All bases are covered. Let the flaming begin. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zcarver Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 .......I always bring up two or more boards. REASON 1: Type of conditions and weather. REASON 2: In the event you break or damage the board. Ouch! REASON 3: You offer your board to someone else to try. Yikes! REASON 4: Lazy to change your bindings. What's up with that? REASON 5: It is unlikely, but in case someone steals it, to sell it on ebay. HEY!! THAT'S MY BOARD! YOU THIEF!!!! REASON 6: I got the room in my truck. Don't waste the space. REASON 7: 2 is better than 1. Like we didn't know. REASON 8: It like having a babe in room to look at. Hmmmmmm REASON 9: When with others, you have many boards up against the wall. Okay, Everybody say cheesseeee! CLICK. REASON 10: I'll think of something...... Remember your snowboard is a tool for the snow! Treat it with care.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I went through a period where I broke a lot of stuff. So, I bring one board to ride, and I always bring a backup board+binding setup just in case something goes wrong. The backup stays in my car unless I need it.
