Breck on a Donek FC2 & Vail on a Burton Coil

Here's some footage of my trip to CO in early Feb 2006.

video (http://members.cox.net/morfeeg1/Erwin%20Carve.mov)

In the first few segments, I'm riding a Donek FC2 163 at Breck and the last 2 segments I'm on a Burton Coil 165 at Vail.

My brother used a digital camera that does 40 sec video clips for the footage.

Any and all comments on technique, music, etc. are welcome.

Thanks to Nekdut for loaning me the Burton Coil and thanks to GaryJ for loaning me the 3-hole disks to use my TD2's on the Coil.

Thanks for the compliment.

My other board is an Oxygen Proton 164 GS with a 13m sidecut. The sidecut for the Donek and Burton are both around 10m and they are definately more tiring to ride. At Breck, I probably should have ridden the Proton, definately enough room for the bigger turns. At Vail I rode the Burton Coil because me and my brother were hitting the bumps.

I rode with Jim Pryor at Bear Mtn on Tuesday (unplanned meeting). Snow conditions were very good. I should have posted on the ride board. 3 carvers at Bear could have qualified as a So Cal Expression Session.
