edit- for what its worth, i too am upset with the weather here in the Northeast....Deimus had the right idea moving out west.

When Jack Frost is in full swing, the one park and east mountain are pretty sweet for what it is.

Anyone have any suggestions and/or knowledge on hot waxes? I'm out of my Dakine All Temp Indy wax, and wondering if I should stick with that or maybe try something else. I ride all mountain in the PNW, where I hit powder, packed powder, and sometimes ice.

Was going to head up to Tahoe tomorrow, but plans fell through. Haven't ridden in a couple weeks.

Going to Big Bear tomorrow. Demoing a Jones Mountain Twin. Never ridden a camrock type profile before so I'm interested to see what's up.

meh..no reason to ride there when you can go to boulder and have multiple one parks or go to any other poconos mountain with trails that take longer than the lifts lol

Anyone going up to Tahoe tomorrow?

Deimus85 · 02-01-2013, 06:52 PM

Lol. I can't wait to go ride Mammoth in April!

Going to Big Bear next week.

HARBL · 02-01-2013, 06:59 PM

Deimus, I'm down to get some buddies and head out there. it's like 4-4.5 hrs away from me.

Deimus85 · 02-01-2013, 07:18 PM

Hybrid camber is fun, i dig it. This season im riding both a Park Pickle (BTX - Rocker to Mild - Flat camber) and a Rome Reverb (camber) i dig them both equally.

Thinking this is gonna be my new setup for next year:

'13 DOA 158 and '13 Union Contact Pros (R/W/B)

I that that setup will be pretty kick ***. I'm gonna try to demo the DOA before and maybe the Ultrafear but right now the DOA looks like my best option.

I'm gonna keep my '12 Forces on my Horrorscope when I get days to just taking laps in the park. Figure moving to the DOA is more in line with what I want long term for the future as I get older.

Also for anyone who isn't aware, here's the link to all the 13-14 catalogs: http://www.zuzupopo.com/xe/index.php...category=50346

anybody have suggestions on how to maybe make a boot a little "roomier" if it is too tight of a fit? the first pair of boots i bought, broke them in and all, are still way too tight. I use to want to skip lunch to keep riding.....now i look forward to it to give my feet a break from the pain....ugh..

edit^ those bindings look nice! my one regret from purchasing my first setup is the bundings i went with. Step-ins are not worth my time...you learn as you go along right!

TeamSR · 02-02-2013, 04:38 PM

what boot is it you have and how many days do you have on them?

Mr.Familiar · 02-02-2013, 07:26 PM

when you say you "broke them in and all", what does that mean. How many days of riding have you had in them?

HARBL · 02-02-2013, 09:23 PM

Solid day of riding! Got some decent airs, some grabs. Pretty stoked!

I also tried my new bindings, Forum Republics and they fit so much better and were much more comfortable.

Now I'm gonna finish this bottle and watch Billy Madison and Happy Gillmore. haha

Jealous. Where'd you ride?

HARBL · 02-02-2013, 09:36 PM

We went up to Homewood today. Homewood offers free lift tickets for AD military all week and Squaw/Alpine offers free tickets Sunday through Friday so if we go up on Sat it's to HW and if we go up Sun it's to Squaw. You should come out with us man, we always have a good time.
