I have thin legs and the Head boots were notoriously stiff when I first get them and are not broken in yet. I had bad shinbang also when I first rode. Longer socks, slight adjustments to canting,...

161#s and box stock, but soft tongue and I keep the rear boot top strap a bit loose and in Walk mode.
Going thru withdrawl, so I went to the local Ice skating rink, went out back where the 'boni dumps the shaved ice, zipped up my coat and threw myself into the fresh pile.....
Consider it a job...
I rode the Coiler VSR softboot carver. I liked its feel, but unfortunately the conditions I rode it in for trials was soft lumpy packed powder, so I can't say for sure if it would be a good fit for...
I did the numbers thismorning actualy..... after realizing I was not going to get "just 1 more day"....
For the first time in nearly a decade I have less than 50 days on snow :( . Actual #: a...

I got my copy just a week after ECES.. WOW. so awesome.
Cool to see people we all know and can actualy say " I've ridden with that guy/gal" in...
Todays snowboarding was brought to by the Number " 7 " and the letter ARRRRRRRRGH !
Powder on a carve board kinda sucks in my opinion. Give me some nice heavy snowfall that is dense and packs down so that you can throw an edge into it with 2 inches sunk in and flat nice trails that...
I am again returning to Loon Mountain for the Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge Finals as a competetor.
I need to defend my third place finish of lastyear :D
:lol:
I won't be on my carve board...
Only place I can find cord late in the day is the turrain park. It's the best kept secret on the mountain for us boarders to be able to play in since most skiers have no interest in getting a special...
Not sure if it's of any help, but on my heel side, I drop my butt low, and throw my hip forward. Then as I lay into the toeside, I push the front knee down and throw my shoulders into the hill while...
ugh... this is EXACTLY why I fear AND RESPECT hardbooting.:(
Gah that sucks man. I had a lesson I was teaching and this woman, and while ont eh lift up she said she wanted to go do Moguls. I...
Was great to ride with a few people, and see some familliar faces !
Saddly we all didn't meet up at the same times,
Hardbooters who were ont he mountain today: not all are members here...
Sunday should be good. The new snow was nice, but the skiers lumped it up so it was like a mogul field by the end of the day. I'll be up at the "snowboarders meeting place" tree at the left of the...
OMG OMG OMG pow pow !
Just talked with another buddy, and he said the fresh powder today is amazing ! :1luvu:
I'm going Sat, Sun and Mon. Be ont he look out for me in my blue helmet and Jiminy...
I got twisted up with another instructor on Left bank at Jiminy just before where the trails converge in the chute and hang a hard left. He was infront of me zig zagging l,r,l,r,l,r, then just stayed...
If it gets cold fri/sat, then sunday will be awesome for sure even if it get to being like 40 degrees as it will soften up perfectly.
I'm not sure if I can get a discount on top of a discounted...
Lets see how well the snow holds up this week, but Sunday and Monday ( yesterday) were epic and the slopes were awesome for carving the steeps.
I'd like to see if we can get a bunch of us...
The problem I have to overcome is opening my shoulders in the opposite dirrection. I tend to lean in with my shoulder, and it throws my weight int he wrong dirrection. I need to bend > than the angle...
I rode around with a bunch of you guys lastyear, but I was on a regular board. I sat on the lift and someone turned me onto this site, and I wanted to really get back out with them, and acutaly tear...
a bit more lead-time would have been good to post..........
:argue:
I'da loved to ride with a bunch of you. ohwell.
March should be softenig up nicely, so I hope to tear up the steeps...
What happens when you over compensate the "Forward Adjust Lean Angle".
I've ridden in soft for years, and now in hard boots. I honestly could never give up the softboots entirely. it is a completely different style of riding and feel. After a few hours of hard boots,...
OK, so we are going to FINALY get a blast of snow.......
on Weds (V-Day) of hopefully 16 inches.
Thursday morning I'd really like to hit da mountain for a few hours. Anyone want to go to Jiminy...
Had 2 hardbooters on the mountain Last Sunday. Monday, well, no one showed from Bomberswebsite, but a couple riders from a few other forums came. Had fun, but I was the only hardbooter, so I switched...
