    Anyone at Blue Mountain looking for HDPE?

    About three months ago I purchased 2 sheets of black HDPE, dimensions were 1/4" x 29" x40". I cut them down to 9" wide, 40" long (or right around there) for a box. I'm no longer going to be using the sheets, probably practiced out back 3-4 times, so they're barely used. There are 4-6 screw...

    Dakine Glove Sizing?

    I'm looking to buy Dakine Cobra GTs, but I don't know about size and I haven't been able to find them in any stores yet. For North Face & Burton gloves, XL seemed to always fit my fingers better. My wrist and palm were fine with L or XL. Dakine's sizing chart says to measure around your hand...

    First build, learning to ride, what width/materials, etc. best...

    Alright, so I have the wood collected up to build between a 16' - 18' rail/box. I'm new to the park, only hit jumps last year, no rails/boxes and want to start at home. I've read tons of posts and have an idea of what I'm going to do - but I wanted to get input from some more experienced guys...

    Anyone know of good deals on decent tuning kits?

    I've been looking around Ebay for a worthwhile tuning kit, found one by Dakine, but an old post here didn't have much praise the quality of the tools. I know Swix was recommended a bunch of times. Just wondering if anyone's come across a good deal on a decent tuning kit. Some have irons, some...

    True Center = Tip-to-Tip/2 or Running Surface/2 ???

    So I'm getting my scratch fs wrs's mounted -2cm from center and want to clear something up... I just read a thread - and I can't find it - that said if you're measuring based on the true center point, you need to measure the ski's running surface and divide that in half. More people agreed...

    Www.aspenskiandboard.com, just recommending a great store...

    Just a heads up on another great online shop for prices and customer service. I've been searching around for the Scratch FS WRS for the last couple of weeks and wasn't able to find them below $350 (in 181's) on any of the sites that are usually recommended here (Evogear sold out a couple months...

    Help with describing a -2 mounting point on Scratch FS WRS to online store

    I'm ordering my skis online in a few minutes and I need to describe to the store what -2 from true center means. (I've already searched) I'm sure they understand how to find the exact middle of the ski and measure back 2cm for a mounting point, but I've heard too many stories of people getting...

    Good ski stores in Toronto??? (Port Credit, Ontario)

    I'll be in Port Credit, Ontario (20 minutes outside of Toronto) this weekend, and was wondering if there's any good stores to check out there? I'm looking for 06/07 181 Scratch FS WRS or Mojo 80's... I've been told that skis are more expensive in Canada - so this may just be a waste of...

    Scratch FS WRS edges thinner than Scratch FS? Confirm?

    I know I read this in a previous post at some point, but it was never really confirmed...anyone know this for sure? I eyed them up in a store against a few different skis and it seemed to be true. If so, wouldn't it be smarter to get the regular fs if you're riding a good amount of rails?

    Am I wasting my time buying Head Mojo 80's for all EC/no Pow/80% park?

    The enthusiasm for these skis doesn't seem to be as widespread as a couple months ago (according to the search)...but I'm still not convinced that my other possible choice, the 06/07 Scratch FS WRS are going to be a better ski for me. I'm 6'1", 185lbs., coming off of 174 PEs mounted at +4...

    Looking for the Mojo 80's (181cm) for $300

    Anyone know of an online store with 181 Mojo 80's for $300 shipped? I'm kicking myself for waiting, because some shop had them up like a month ago, but they are all out now. The cheapest I've seen is $350, just wondering, thanks...

    WTB: 181 Head Mojo 80 or Scratch FS WRS/Ghetto

    I'm gonna go with one of these two - most of it depends on price at this point. I would prefer the Mojo's, but if there's a good deal on new or used FS WRS or Ghetto's, let me know how much you're selling for.

    Shipping Fees from U.S. to Canada (tax and duty)?

    I've searched through some past threads - but there seems to be some mixed opinions, so I thought maybe someone may have cleared this up. I'm shipping skis to Canada and want to make sure the buyer doesn't have any extra tax or duty fees. I read some guys who received skis without a problem -...

    Oakley Stockholm Goggles

    I read through some old posts and know that most of the guys think that these are ugly goggles - but I'm looking for goggles for my wife and was wondering what the girls think of the stockholms? Are they considered "in style" for women? I don't want to get her something she won't wear. Anyone...

    Ankle/Feet Support

    Just wondering how many people are using additional foot support beyond just your boots? I've read a lot of people using the Wintergreen Superfeet - or get custom insoles done. Anyone use any kind of ankle wrap to provide more support or to help prevent injury? My problem is that left foot...

    I'm looking to pick up mountain bikes for my wife and I that will be used 50% road and 50% light off-road. I was talking to my neighbor who said that I won't get anything decent for under $800 - and sounded like he was even weary about that...he suggested spending at least $1,000 Are there...
