Check out my rack!

[Bora20]

I was tired of leaning them against the wall...room to grow :)

The Morrow is going up on my work classifieds on Tuesday. The wife has no use for it anymore since I bought her a new board and step-in soft bindings this year.

A rack is nothing without a shotgun or AR. :ices_ange

I've run out of prop-up-against-wall room myself. I think you have inspired me to take on another summer to-do item.

U cud bent the shelf for steeper angle to show off your quiver top sheets, like the deck on the very top :1luvu:

Or you can use this rack, easy to install and plastic (no rust).

I can't bend the rack as they are the metal brackets used for shelving with 1/2 pipe insulation on them. I got the idea from a forum search.

It was $40 total and will work for now. I will make something else for around the garage for old boards that are no longer in use, but this got them all off the floor quickly.

Don't you guys have anything longer than a 150cm board??

[tahoetrencher]

I thought it was the Lange boot girl. :)

He can hook you up with a real board!!

His carve board is a 179. How much longer of a board does a person need early in their carving career? Your personal preference does not necessarily apply to all riders.

Too long of a board holds a lot of people back and keeps them on easier slopes (or having to skid on the steeper and/or narrow) for a lot longer than if they would start on more reasonable length boards. Especially the current crop of shorter boards. They are far more stable, fast and easy to ride than in past years.

BOYS! Relax! :1luvu:

No worries on the board length or rack width. The short boards look funny on the rack due to the 48" span as I wanted the uprights mounted to the studs. At 36", it wouldn't have been enough to hold the long board properly, which is the $$$ one.

Thanks for the email lowrider all is well. I ran the 179 today on what appeared to be soft ice from the chair. In fact, it was just plain old hard ice. it runs well and true, hard to skid, but I am still figuring out what angles to run on it. My season is done, more to come next year.

Dont you guys remove your bindings for the summer?

[Chris Houghton]

Here's another version of the same idea. I used the double slot uprights for a bit more strength, and a piece of 3/4 ply so I could put the uprights where I wanted and still hit the studs in the wall. The shortest board is 175, the longest is over 200. Bindings are loosened for the summer but not removed. The longest board has some stuff on the top so it can't rest upside down like the others. No worries about losing camber.

I will, but the season just ended yesterday ;)

[WASMAN]

Why do you remove your bindings for the summer??

[Buell]

Why do you remove your bindings for the summer??

To try to avoid binding suck. The slight crushing of the core due to the compression caused by the tightened binding screws and inserts. It shows up as the dimples under the inserts.

I often just loosen mine.

[Bora20]

Bindings removed and driver's license punched into all 5 boards tonight while wearing my new motorcycle boots.

[Call me jack]

mine's a little more sophisticated

Oh, that would fall on my ladies head (or mine) during some playtime. I hope you have that secured tightly up there :)

Ha, funny! I was thinking the same thing when I saw the post :D
However, you could place the Xeena there. If she fell into the bed, then you just have 3-some ;)

I am very much, but I will probably forget by then being that it is 10 months away. I will have a bunch more days on my board by then as I already have it in my calendar to purchase a Sun Peaks seasons pass by June 30 to get a discount.

Can you send me some more info on it or post up a thread in the BC section so that we can all chime in?

And yes, t-shirt, shorts, and these...

our group holds a dh race along with gs using the same course and b netting the week before.

There are two of us. ;)

A lot of those are gone now. We are down to 5 great powder boards, but we went from 2 to 5 splitboards. :smashfrea

there's actually nothing securing it at all.... i guess i'll cross that bridge when it actually falls off lol
