I don't really rely on files so much as a course diamond stone... I'll just do a single pass or 2 with a file, then several with the Diamond stone, and then finish off with a ceramic stone...
That has got to be cold :eek: :eek: :eek:
Have one at the Ambassador or the Library for me :biggthump
If we didn't have regionals here in Marquette this weekend, I would definately bust out the softies and join you.....
Ok, since winter decided to finally show up, I've needed to break out the super cold wax.... I'm curious how I should go about using though... I've been told that it's ok to scrape these super hard...
Yes... The snow is VERY THIN up there still... Some friends made the journey up the Keewanaw Friday and came back with a few nice shots on their rock skis.... Not sure how much snow they got...
Shawn Palmer was apparently told this weekend that he was disrespecting a "Gentlemen's Agreement" in SBX by wearing a tight Motocross uniform... He was told that he had an aerodynamic advantage that...
Marquette isn't that bad, but lacks some of the variable terrain that you find in the Western U.P. There are a couple of really nice carving runs and good grooming however...
Be forwarned...
Just curious if anyone had an opinion on the place... I'm racing there for the first time this weekend.... I'm told this definately isn't a budget friendly place....
Ok, every time I execute a series of a few "Cross Under" Turns, I end up riding the tail of the board... It's so bad, I'll end up on my rear if I continue and make 2-3 more turns... I know this...
Hey guys, thanks for the update :biggthump
I appriciate the invite out to Buck, and I really wish I could make it, but I have to hang around Afton. Even though I have most of the day free,...
Hey guys, I am just wondering if I could get a conditions update again... How did the New Year's weather change things... I'm just trying to get most of my tuning work done before we leave...
There is another local and myself that ride regularly up at Marquette Mountain....
I had no idea that there were some regular riders out in the Ironwood area though... I might have to take a...
Emails sent :biggthump
Currently riding Burton Reactors, and desperately need an upgrade.... I am looking for something race-oriented, so something comprable to Head Stratus Pro's or Indys... My current boots are too...
I'm also kinda curious as to the conditions out there.... I got a colligiate race there on Jan 6-7.... How thin is the coverage? What's the snowmaking capability looking like?
THey show racing every Sunday at 5 or 6pm EST on Sundays.... It's usually a week behind though....
Stupid college getting in the way of being a ski bum :mad:
If this job is around in 2 years, I'll be all over it :1luvu:
No one's interested, eh?
I decided to order an NMU Alpine Team jacket for this season so there is no need for me to hold onto this. It was bought new this past spring, but due to my leg injury was never worn. It is a...
There is also a very noticiable lack of females :eek:
I wish I had more than a microwave here in the dorms :angryfire
I mean, I can do a TON with that... It's just not the same though....
I miss eating good food
Ok, thanks guys... I'm just looking to upgrade.... I really have no experiance with the Deeluxe or Head boots, so I am just trying to see what direction I want to go...
In terms of stiffness, what would be the equivilent in the Deluxee line of boots?
But at that price, you are getting into the top of the line in Motocross helmets.... If you are that concerned about saftey, go with those...
