The big problem with Hybrid cars is that they use gasoline engines instead of diesel. Gas engines produce high torque (used for driving the generator) at high RPM's, Diesels do so at low RPM's...

Bamboo as a building material has a long history....outside North America. The fact that it's just beginning to make an impact here doesn't mean it's a fad just that we have no experience using it or...
I had a bunch of days in Japan on hero groom, which is what I call 3-4 feet of freshly groomed powder, that is by far my favorite snow condition. I haven't had a powder board in some time, though if...
Thanks Jack, it may sound strange but that helps me hugely I can stake my claim to those dates now and have confidence that I'll be able to get the time off (US Navy)
right now in rolling complete form I have
Rob Roskopp Face oldschool
Homemade 34" GS/LDP
Homemade 29" TS/HS (soon to be replaced with a Fullbag HS tat I sold a set of Snopro's to fund)...
on Gravity's Carve boards trucks make a huge difference, I'm not a fan of Tracker Trucks (in general though their new DH truck my change that) and most HC's come with 150 Darts. It feels better with...
skateboards are like snowboards a quiver is very useful. if Loaded boards are out of your price range take a look at Gravity's Hypercarve and MiniCarve, classic shape, good carving boards
Soft is relative, My RC feels softer than my little Crazy Creek 151 when doing the hand push test but on a hill it sticks better no matter then conditions. I won't be riding the 151 for a long while....
I planted 4 Fargesia Nitida plants in the corner of my yard last year to fill/cover an ugly neighbors garage. I can't wait for them to fill out over the next few years
The "wood" that Sean will be...
Coiler PRGS 13m-14m (or more) sidecut, taper, aggressive nature needed
Coiler FC 10.5m sidecut, no taper, aggressive nature needed, can't really race it
Coiler RC 11.5m sidecut taper, not so...
I have stayed out of this discussion a while but every time I see another post I get a bit more pissed about it. The Code exists...in many (probably most) states it's a legal and binding document,...
ahhh that explains why I haven't found it this season....well at least my subscription ran out and I was only buying it at the book store. Too bad though at least I have 8 issues to reread
I buttered up before I went out from day one with my stepins. On a dry night I'd butter again. Now I stepped in and out about 40-50 times a night and I did notice a difference when I rebuttered and...

Thanks Jack that's a nice article, I wish I had that about a month ago, it took me a while to get through that issue and I approached it from a different POV but ended up in close to the same place....
my issue with Kmart is that I have never been there for a multi day trip and not been disappointed. The resort with all it's peaks looks great on paper but its usually very annoying to string...
I learned to snowboard at Stowe (they like Loon were one of the early resorts that allowed snowboarding), it's a very nice mountain with 4 double blacks that are truly killer (Starr, Goat, National...
given that bamboo is a grass it composts a lot better than wood, but it depends on what you are planning to do with it. You might find a landscape company that needs organic matter and while they...
bummer a true Bamboo snowboard would be very nice, and light....oh well
a few weeks ago before Andrew made his carving debut, a patroler said to me "you are the only snowboarder actually turning"
I know there were boards made this way in the past...mid ninties maybe, I'm pretty sure Santa Cruz made some board like this. Talk to Sean, Chris or Bruce one should be able to build this for you if...
that whole master/slave thing got me distracted when I started to read this
...my big thing this year has been quiet upper body, or baring that keeping the upper body stylish (no airplane and no...
Bola,
I did say that I had heard of, and my point still seems to stand no one is producing a Bamboo core snowboard. I would buy one long before I ever bought a metal board.
That is amazing....I've flown 2 line kites for 25 years but I flew one kite at a time or a stack.... not one kite in each hand with another tied to to my hips....wow things have come a long way
if you want step ins definitely F2's Intec's are better than FAST. It you want standards I prefer Snopro's...they feel better.
