Thanks for the tip...I'm thinking of going to Sidewinders first....but the plate system intrigues me too.

funny you should ask...seems as if once I turned 50 a few months ago my knees started to protest by mid-afternoon. :D And yes, the softer/heavier snow, especially once it gets bumped up by noon...

While there are a few more weeks left at a few places in VT, Saturday at Killington was the last one for me and my son. Great way to end it...blue bird sunshine, low 40's, no crowds. A few pics on...

Thanks for the advice folks. Yep, I've shipped frames/bikes before so will definitely be putting in dropout blocks and padding everything well. I think the real issue will be what Zeagle said...I'll...

Seeing as our BOL community is quite international and we buy and sell to each other quite a bit, I figured I'd ask you guys. I have a bike frame for sale on eBay, and rec'd a query from someone in...

Pico, VT last weekend. Took my Donek into the rental/repair shop to re-tighten my cant plate. Before I could ask for their screwdriver, the head shop wrench exclaims: "Now THAT'S a board!!"

These videos are no "rub-in"....they're "hot-poker-in-the-eyes-bamboo-shoots-up-yer-fingernails" TORTURE for us ice-coasters.... so awesome....truly great riding by skilled riders of all ages in...

Once again, your collective advice helped a great deal. We got a little over a foot of powder last night at our local NJ hill (Mtn Creek). After some toying around, I found the following set up...

Met CarvingBassist (Mike) and a few runs later a fellow named Ralph (couldn't catch his handle). Ralph if you're out there, holler back. Mike, hope to ride with you before the season ends.

Thanks guys. I have tried riding in Powder mode, but not Walk mode...Not sure if that would make a difference since its the forward lean I have the challenge with (e.g. when trying to move the board...

When I ride my Donek Axxess/Race Plates/Track 225's, I find myself struggling in the more mogul-ed up sections of trail that crop up late in the day. Despite the softer flex of these boots, the cuff...

Hi, while the boots are indeed taken, the new heel/toe blocks are still available. $10 plus shipping. Should be able to ship anywhere in the L48 for less than $5.00. Let me know your zip and I'll...

If it's any help, you'll find the longer running length on an alpine board will do wonders for keeping your momentum on the flats and you'll find yourself not needing to skate as much. Plus, as...

I ride K'ton, Okemo and other VT slopes and feel what NickG said about sidecut radius is among the most important factors for the east coast, especially when you are starting out, and given that you...

Thanks for the quick, insightful and diverse replies, they are exceedingly helpful. I hadn't thought about the Sidewinders and did a bunch of reading on them after you suggested them as an...

I need some advice on whether to stick with my current Race Plates or move up to TD3's. I have read on these forums that the Burton bails are prone to breakage over time. I bought a pair of front and...

I have size 14's (31.5 mp) and ride roughly 45 degree angles. I require a board with 24 - 26 cm waist width to avoid boot out. I'm 6'3" and 210lbs. If you can run tighter angles then you'll have...

Thanks guys. Hubs are Salsa (made by Formula). 170mm rear (vs std 135) and 135mm front (vs std 100).

My new ride for 2012-2013....for those days when paying $70+ to ride the ice-coast's finest isn't the best use of a winter's day;). Salsa Mukluk 3, XL.

Sure thing JP....Benttech, NWBoarder, let me know by this weekend ok?

No word yet from NWBoarder, but let me know where in US you'd want me to ship to in case he decides not to take them.

Looks like $20 via USPS Parcel Post.

the shells on these boots are cracked at the heels so are not rideable, but they have plenty of spare parts on 'em (buckles, lean mechanism, tongues, etc). The spare (new) set of heel/toe blocks is...

Yep, I had an '89 Aggressor...the only board I've ever had without inserts. I kept pulling out the rear heel screws...so much so that it looked like swiss cheese before the season was up. Shame, was...

Interested in the bindings if you'll sell board and bindings separately. email sent.
