Scrutton, I see what you mean. I wasn't seeing what was going on in the picture properly and had the wrong image of what was going on. I agree one could use a spokeshave but it would be a pain in...

I wonder, given the apparent difficulty of shaving an edge with a wave in it as the magna traction or any irregular shaping, if a spoke shave would be a good tool for the job. Takes a bit of skill to...
I tried this once years ago. It was the most singular painful set of runs I have ever taken. You know that awful pain when you are first learning and your legs just don't like the way you are trying...
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the advice. I'll take both parts of it. I presume you are speaking of the Surefoot at the Canyons.
I know this has been asked in the past but I was unable to find it with the search. I'm looking for a good boot fitter in the Salt Lake/Park City area.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Walker
I picked up an Oxygen APX in the fall and as I've only been out once this year, have yet to ride it. I bought it as a spare to teach people on and wanted to know what to expect from it. So what do...
You guys make me feel like some dangerous fool, 10 years and all I've been wearing is a wool hat
They are mostly the same design just different material with regards to Shimano. The primary difference between dura ace, Ultegra and 105 is the materials used not the design and function of the...
how stiff of a board is it?
scr?
thanks
Hey I'm looking to get a pair of carving skis. I am finally trying to get rid of my old strait planks. however when I started looking I realized that skiers don't talk about the characteristics of...
I've always ridden in ski boots. One thing that I have found with riding in ski boots, more related to equipment set up than technique, is that it has been very important to set your stance width...
I have to agree that the change from single to parallel courses was a bad move. A parallel course is fine but not as the only event running. i think it makes snowbaord racing seem like a spectical...

theses seem like a really cool idea. I read reviews of them and everyone says no matter how well you think you pedal an hour on these changes your mind.
Seems to me that a problem with releasable bindings is having them release for the right reasons. You generate a ton of force when you ride in complely normal situations, so how do you make a binding...
When you carve a snowboard the sidecut plays a different role than it first appears. I'll break it out into steps.
1. You put the board on edge. What happens? The two widest points contact the snow,...
A friend of a friend, she was standing on the side of the slope, a snowboarder crashed into her and she fell backwards into the trees and got impailed on a branch and died. Her husband was standing a...
from what I've read on the Extreme Carving site part of the reason that their hands are on or near the snow is protection . They explicitly mention using one arm to protect the head and the other arm...
The set up you're talking about is about what I ride. high stance angle agressive style, you can't ride with a relaxed or lazy style. I've been riding for 8+ years always with ski boots because I ski...
I've been having trouble with the flexability in my knees while riding. To try and solve this I've been reducing my stance width more and more, now I have the range of motion in my knees to absorb...

get off at exit 7. 6A goes the exact, and i mean exact, same place but they make you pay to get off.
I've been having a bit of trouble with my heelside turns. I've been thinking that this may due to my having front toe lift and back cant. It feels as though i'm just not able to put enough pressure...
I just bought a pair of burton reactor hard boots and have a couple of issues with them. I have been riding for 7 years with ski boots and thought it was time for a real set of boots. However these...
I have also found a pair of burton reactors. How do these comapre, they look like a better boot. How does the sizing generally work between these two boot brands? I have narrow foot and generally...
