Glad you got that figured out @sanfrantastico . I picked up a Konica AR adapter and some old manual Konca lenses for landscape and long exposures. They are high quality and super inexpensive. The rest of the time I’ve just been shooting with the kit lens. Here’s a shot of @gnarlydoggy and a sequence of Jeff on Jakes…[Read more]

Great purchase @SanFrantastico . Everyone I’ve talked to loves the a6000, especially how fast the focusing and how many frames per second they can shoot. I picked up the a7II and the continuous autofocus works well. Sometimes it loses the person depending on lighting, shadows and such but other wise its a pretty amazing feature.

It’s amazing how…[Read more]

@SanFrantastico We all know TEX and Likestoride are hard-charging dudes; but how did the boots hold up?!

@DHwreckage – The propaganda says ~10 mm shorter BSL

@sanfrantastico you guys scored a nice sheet there. Where did you guys end up riding in the Carson Range?

@SanFrantastico See my above post.
The process is just like embedding images, just the URL is to a gif of a dancing banana instead of a pic.

@SanFrantastico – Welcome back!
The idea behind that camber profile is you get the edge-hold and pop of camber (albeit under each foot instead of the length of the board) while getting the serious float and surfy ride of full (banana) rocker. The camber sections load the board so it presses into the snow for edge hold and the rocker in the middle…[Read more]

First off, I see that many of the folks who have already responded are already part of your CA crew, and I think we’ve all seen each other do that exact same thing at least once.

So maybe we should stop riding together. 🙂

But seriously, I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the obvious. Things would have been fine if you had just started out your…[Read more]

Yea. There’s this pull to going out there.

I don’t have an answer for you, but I know more of us need to read your comment and think.

At least twice the season on the same hairy ascent,…[Read more]

Do those guys *really* want people using those boots to climb My Shasta??

:bananas: Hahahahahahahaha

I agree… For how much that product cost to develop, we could have a boot shell that was made of gortex, leather, plastic, carbon fiber and REAL Vibram rubber??

Personally, I love my front points… When in the HECK will…[Read more]

Wow…looks like I missed out! FWIW I also hit a rock the day Fullers2oh and I hit up goon lake. Nastiest charlie-horse ever, I’m still limping on it a bit today. Low tide!

Yeah, man. Check out the sweet little snow snake in the foreground of Tex’s pic. Man that left such a gouge in by base and bruised my…

My hero Tom Burt once said that the sidecut radius sets the biggest radius turn you can make, not the smallest. In other words, a big radius board can do both big radius turn and short turns, while a small radius board can only do small radius turns. That being said, it’s Tom Burt and he rides a 172.

I disagree. I rode a…[Read more]

This is awesome. Congrats! I would love to try the ST 66. Will there be a demo board to make the rounds at the different splitfests this year?

Will see what can be done on that one.

i remember not digging one of the Burtons i was on because A) it has no pop and B) the sidecut was way too small for me and i felt like i had to fight it from turning at high speed.

any other opinions on this?

The effective edge is another issue and one that you shouldn’t overlook (even though the jones site…

I try to take more of the blend-in approach, kinda like swanny but not so much.

Bought a Chevy Silverado 4×4. It’s fancy and nice but I loved driving my T-100.

Bummer, man. What are you gonna get?? Maybe something gigantic and Y-E-L-L-O-W??

Your red glossy eyes probably had something to do with the mix up as well.

In 5 years I’ve had a DIY, 2 Burton’s and 2 voile’s.

Beat to shit is a good summary statement. I did manage a couple warranties though. That’s huge.

Maybe it’s because we suck, Storn.
