Shipping is scary overseas...

That, and I'd love to be able to rent one, for, say 20-40 euros/day.

Although I will be realistic....probably not a market for it here (just not enough hardbooters...)

So.....[Oct 2, 2 AM North America]?

I was living and working at Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada for the past 3 months, and at one point we had a guy come in with that machine (supposedly first one in NA) and do stuff for free. Me: First year alpine, 160 lbs. Board 1: Freestyle/ride K2 (green?): Soft board, ~162cm. Results: OMGGood Edge h...

eh...XviD's the best DivX derivative, heh.

Best quality-size ratio of all codecs, to my knowledge. FOV encodes (one of the top, if not the top high-quality encoding groups) with XviD...gets almost 90 minutes DVD (perfect digital, essentially) quality into 700 megs.

huh? 0 degree WAS out..but it's not anymore...
Personally, when I order mine, I'm getting the soft and medium elastiomer rings. And aren't those two purple and yellow? Not blue and yellow? Unless bomber is lying to me...

hmm...well, I'd say... More carvers = more carvers. If I had ever seen hardbooters on the slopes (and really, I haven't) I would have made the decision to switch over much earlier, maybe 3 years earlier.

Small sidecut...relative to your other _hardboot_ boa...

Yeah, I've already got good enough softboot equipment...Ride Serum/Salomon Classic boards, Link Bindings and Evolution Boots (Size 12). With softboots, I can actually put out credible carves (I'm at quite a high angle already...over 45 degrees...partially because of my big feet - to avoid lifting th...

Well, I've decided that I'll be spending four months (December -> March) in Banff (Alberta, Canada) snowboarding everyday. Because of this great amount of time in the mountains at Lake Louise and Sunshine Village (and maybe a bit of Nakiska too, since those three are all included on the pass I'm get...

Yeah, I'm using a far more ridiculous board right now. I'll be buying a Swoard either next season or the one after, depending on if I'm even going to be here next season (may be going to Thailand/Mexico/South America). I'm using a Ride Serum 157 8O ... 8.3 m sidecut....Freestyle....and here's the bi...
