I had some of the inner plastic bits snap on my fintec heels recently. Spent the remaining two days having to release my front foot from my bindings first, so that I could bend over and use two allen...
Spent some time at NorthStar last week and despite people say about it, I had a lot of fun on the backside. Challenger has one headwall that is particularly awesome for carving (though the rest of...
Jack - did you shoot that first image? Gorgenous light.
Phenomenal power and control. Incredible.
Thanks Jim - what are the crowds like on weekends? I'd say the chances of me making it out there on a weekday are practically nil this year with me starting a new job. Is there such thing as early...
I see - cool beans. Thanks for the helpful information!
Thanks Randy - What is it about Kirkwood that attracts people as opposed to other places in Tahoe? Is it a much longer drive to the west shore places?
Agreed. 180cm+ decks can be ridden very comfortably on the east coast, you just have to get them up on edge quick. My main squeeze on the east coast is a 183, and I weigh about 190 lbs during snow...
Howdy All - moving to SF for a new job in a week and am wondering where I will be carving this winter. I'll be starting a new job so I'm not counting on getting in a ton of days this year, but...
I'm with Jack on this one but otherwise:
(1)binding angle
(2)stance width
(3)lift
(4)boot bias
(5)boot tension (moving a toe/heel block or TD3 bail fine adjustment)
(6)cant
I think boot...
What shape foot do you have? If you have an egyptian foot (like me and a lot of other people) then your big toe will always rub the tip/side of the boots unless your boots are WAY oversized (which...
Interesting article - thanks for sharing it.
I am highly suspicious of facebook, and pretty much cordon it off from all other sites I visit. Ditto for google.
Seriously?? Sweet!
My first pair of hardboots was a pair of burton megaflex boots, and I broke the lean adjuster on them my second season in plates (the heel connector ripped right out of the boots on my rear foot). I...
It seems to me, from the pictures that the nose is a bit huge for a race/freecarve board, and there are no SCR specs listed.
Your point?
Yes, apple regularly releases bug fixes and security updates, usually once every few weeks. These releases are nearly-always released *before* any such security bug is exploited in the...
I'm sure that you are right in the sense that the word "ahead" means "any way that the word ahead could reasonably be interpreted." The language for the code of responsibility was considered...
I'm not trying to be antagoinstic here, but if we're going to split hairs, lets get it right.
It seems to me that many of the people pointing out the skiers code of responsibility have not...
Not really, there are a few places with some steeps but overall, it's not a particularly steep mountain. Meadows is much steeper than timberline and is less tame.
Oh yeah ... guess you're right about that. I prolly should have said "from uphill" rather than "from behind"
I'm with you about people who run into people, there's no bloody excuse for hitting...
I've only been hit from behind once (at Temple, NH), and it took me by surprise. I got hit by a straightliner on rental skis. He hit me while I was just about ready to start exiting a pretty...
Just a few clarifications:
The Mac OS is in no way shape or form hardwared into the computer, nor has it ever been. How fast a mac feels will depend upon the mac, and the OS installed, as well...
Before I post, some background:
I use both Windows and Mac OS X on a daily basis. I have been using both for over 12 years, but my preference goes to the mac. I am a programmer at a large...
I am buying all new tuning tools for my all new board (my old stuff is gone/in bad shape).
After reading a few guides, this is what I have settled on for now, I will have to add more for next...
