    Thanks for checking in with us.  From the specs you described, I think you should be good to go bro!  Nice match.

    Thanks for the review.  I really like the fact that there are only two fittings.  Makes it unique.  Any pics?

    Why I ask is that typically, Western US, Alps and larger mountains will have more snow and therefore a softer surface, in which case I would opt for the 146 (larger board).  Converse for the Eastern US and smaller mountains.

    I think getting a smaller board, either one, will help a lot.  The Rossignol Myth is a nice looking board.  What is your boot size?  Maybe I can help you decide which of the two.

    Ok, we got the 10 ft Banshee Bungee as a present to each other for Christmas.  I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this product.  We tried it today, and I am kind of frustrated!  The problems we had were-  1) I could not pull it back far enough for Trav to get any speed. I'm a girl so I'm not naturally as strong as most guys, so that could be part of it.    2) He could pull it back plenty far for me, but it was almost impossible to hand off to me with that amount of tension. It literally felt like it was going to yank my arms off when I did take off on it!  We might switch it for the 20 foot model,  has anyone had any experience with this product?http://www.bansheebungee.com

    Looks cool.  Maybe it will break in over time?

    Your setup looks fine man. If you are ofter on toeside and are too often catching the heelside edge and falling backwards then you have got a real problem that you have to workaround.  The good news is that I do not have any reason to believe it is related to your equipment or the setup.  That will save you $$! Yeah, magnetraction makes it a little grabbier, but you should be able to get used to it.  Let's focus on technique.  I think the biggest cause of this problem is bowing while in toeside stance.  If you are bending at the waist then you are asking for trouble since it moves your balance around too much and creates too much movement and instability.I will re-post this from one of the other threads here:

    Here are some tips for how to take a perfect toeside stance:1) Take a natural stance on your board.  Slightly bend your knees and kee
