choicesssThats niceI got a new one and i don't think i will be using my old one any more 😀
What are you going to do with the old one? Sell it or keep it or give it away? What?!?
Thanks to Travz and Rowan for hosting the 2010 Rider Rally in Northern Vermont. What a great time. 2 days of powder and SnowKiting to boot! Pics to come soon.
So…I got 2nd place 🙂 There were only 3 girls that competed, but for being my first time doing this I'm pretty happy. I ended up getting a nice Helly Hanson dry ride base layer shirt for placing, so I'm pretty happy with that! I definitely would do it again 8) I'll post some pics in the gallery once I get them…
GREAT JOB!!! Maybe next one you will take 1st place!
Great question, but the answer is easy. You need to get more comfortable riding switch. The best way to do that is like learning a new language, immerse yourself in it. Do entire runs or ONLY switch riding. Skate switch, ride the lift, to the carrot, poma, t-bar, or magic carpet, whatever, ALL SWITCH.Do these things and before you know it you will be landing those 180's with more confidence than ever before! 8)
Cool, it will be great to be in some real snow. If you see the crud they are getting in Vancouver right now, well that's the story in the rest of the Northwest too. GOOD TIME TO BE IN THE EAST THIS WEEKEND!!!
Yeah, I have done it before in Colorado. It is loads of fun. Let your fear aside and think like a roller-derby queen! GOOD LUCK!! GO TEAM FROSTY RIDER!!!
Welcome to the Community Toan!I say 159 should be fine if you ride mainly on softer snow (out west). If you are an east coaster, go with the shorter ride like a 156 or 157. Keep in mind that board WIDTH is more important than length, so keep it around 25 cm and you are cool.
Well, the two days at Jay are just tentative. I think One at Jay and one at Smugglers for Sat/Sun is a great idea. Which day do you think would be better for where?For Stowe, my wife works in the hospitality industry and I'm pretty sure we are getting a room deal there, so I figured it would fit right in. I will see if we can get something worked out for ticket deals.Thanks for the passport reminder!
i love those boots! is the 2nd part of the dual boa for the ankle?
Yes, the second Boa is for the ankle tension. I like it better than the upper/lower idea that others use.
The best place to start with for picking out a new board is the snowboard size calculator. Have you purchased any new stuff yet?
Hey, thanks for the props. We all really enjoy being a part of the community here and share the knowledge wherever we can.Good question you have. If you only rode the board once last year and then you kept the board indoors since then then chances are it does not need waxing quite yet — though it couldn't hurt. You will know a board needs waxing when 1) You have visible signs of base “thirst” where spots look dry compared to the rest of the board or other visible signs of excessive wear.2) Performance-based signs. If you are traversing a flatter spot on the mountain, like a “cat track” or “get bacK” type run and you notice other peoples rides are sliding faster than yours (not due to momentum they have but from a purely faster glide) then that is also a good sign you need to get a wax.Of course if you have any ugly rust o
