Hi Harald Since I am not so young anymore (62 years) I have to agree with Olaf, I too was VERY impressed when I read your post that stated your age! I guess age is a state of mind, seems to me you are 62 going on 25. Perhaps a post or two on what the ‘Masters’ of Oslo eat and drink would help us all...

Hi Tom I’ll do my best to try answer your questions, but take them with grain of salt as I am enthusiastic and fairly experienced ... but not an expert. J&P will jump in and straighten us out when we make too many mistakes here :D Why does one need so much forward travel?? You're boots have hardly a...

Hello Tom To make the spring modifications to my NW Point 900 boots I simply duplicated the picture that Patrice was good enough to provide of his boots/spring set up. I can’t remember which thread it was under, but a very good close up picture is provide. Here is what Patrice/Jacques showed me via ...

Hi

What grit is the Swoard base sanded to at the factory?

Rob

Hi Patrice

Bel effort pour un Canadien anglophone!

Merci

Peut-être pourrons-nous nous rencontrer à Aspen (21-23 février)?

J'essaye d'organiser un voyage à Aspen sur February21-23. Les engagements de professionnel et de famille le rendent difficile à voyager, mais j'essaye.

Cheers
Rob

Hey guys Thanks for your responses. Hi Nate, I have to agree with your last post ... your example(s) makes sense. When re-reading my original question I now think it was poorly worded, so here is a little background info into my train of thought when posting. In the past I have spent a lot of time c...

Hey Nate Thanks for your thoughts. When I had a custom board made with a 23cm waist, I rode the same angles, just with quite a bit less underhang, and the board felt like it weighed half as much. I just had much better leverage, and could hold the same edge angle with much less strength, whether it ...

Hi Recently, during a Bomber discussion dealing with Trench Diggers, one of the TD2 designers stated the following: 1) Will edge pressure be affected by the orientation of the binding? No. Having ones toes or heels as close to the edge of the board as one can get, is not entirely as important as hav...

Hi Nils The selection of the larger (wheels that are filled with air) carveboard or the smaller Stik (Urethane skateboard type wheels) carveboard inspired deck, would probably depend on where you plan on riding most often. Are you riding down a long road or are you in a banked run at a skatepark? Ar...

Hello to the Extreme Carving Team These questions are inspired by years of buying stock boards where one flex was made to fit most rider sizes. The Medium settings chart(s) in the board selection guide(s) has a 12 Kg (25 Pound) low to high range. What kind of ride differences can a 74 Kg rider and a...

Hi Here are the dimensions and specs of the NorthWave and RAB springs. I was lucky enough to locate a pair this season. The grey spring that J&P have used in the NorthWave spring modification is A LOT softer then the compression of the blue NW spring. I have found the web site www.associatedspring.c...

Hi Kaare In order to take the RAB spring off of your boot, simple push the pins out. The pins that hold the top and bottom of the boot RAB in place. Use a hammer and a small screw drive, hole punch or even a large nail to tap the two pins out. When doing this you will notice that one side of the pin...
