Good observation and let me see if I can address this:
First, we currently have that disclaimer to only use the BP lowers on a plate as we just did not have any history using those...

It is with a sad heart we want to announce to the Carving Community the death of Meg VanSciver, our friend and the fiancée of Chris Webster. Meg died from a paragliding accident last Sunday in...
When we did one of these in my shop a few years ago we did it with sound. Hit the board where you think inserts are with a small, blunt, steel object (screw driver). When you get to the insert the...
Sean,
Nice blog on the trip! Enough of these riding pics, I want to see the debauchery apre ski. What does a beer hall full of drunk carving Germans look like?
More on the people!!!
Talk...
Eric,
I am truly humbled by your talent. Amazing. Just spent the last hour looking at your gallery on your website. You have that amazing hybrid of an artists eye, skilled hands, and a love of...
lonboardin,
Actually, the surprising thing is I would say half of all alpine demos that went out where sub-16 year old. LOTS of 10-14 wanted to try it. My take is after 16, they tend to know what...

* I'll move this to "Race" forum eventually. But it is slow now so thought all would enjoy this *
Just wrapped up 6 incredible days or racing here at the 2013 USASA Nationals at Copper Mnt,...
Just a quick announcement to let all here at BOL-land that Moderator Jack Michaud is going to take a sabbatical from moderating here on BOL. Jack was one of the originals here at BOL and has been a...
I noticed you mention you are on TD2. Am I to assume you have the original aluminum version of the heel receiver?
If you do, I would HIGHLY suggest upgrading to the steel version we now put on all...
Poll is up! Go HERE to vote.
As described in this post, we are now posting up the video of the final 5 of the 2013 SES Carve Factor.
Filming has been challenging due to weather but thanks to Alan (SunSurfer) we are able to a...
Ronin42,
Sorry for the delay, still have a few days left here at the SES.
The PowerPlate bolts to your plate with its own screws. then your bindings screw into the PP itself. Here is the PDF...

Like the poll everywhere. Very slick. But costs $, so we are going the free route.
Marco Olm is an incredible free carver. I as well hope he is there.
Changes made. Moved to Carve Community forum.
Phil,
Can you get it to us (Silverthorne) by noon tomorrow? If so we can bring to Bruce for you.
They put a Flight for Life heli-pad right at the base just for that reason.
Easy: Aztec at Ajax.
Crazy steep and wide enough to just stay out of trouble. It is just to the left as you get near the Rosie's Run Chair. Crap shoot if it is groomed though. If it is, it has...
Ah, got it. Saw this a while ago so was looking for something else. It is cool they do this now.
We'll be at the base of TieHack in just 3 days!
ZetaTre,
Not seeing it? What am I looking for?
barryj,
All these guys have given excellent advice. And sad but true, in these situations it is usually technique. Historically I find the toe side turn "easier" to master at the learning stages...
Well, made the yearly trip down to Denver for the SIA (Snow Sports America) show to make sure there was absolutely no alpine snowboarding gear :rolleyes:
More than anything, just get to see some...
Excellent feedback and ideas guys! I suspect this event will change a bit as we get closer.
So first, completely stole your idea on the name Willow 15, now called the "Carve Factor".
What if we...
And yet another first at the 2013 SES:
"Board Build Off"
We have gone to great lengths to select only the finest board builders in the world to participate in this build off. Shamelessly...
