Thanks for the NON-INVITE.
So how was the new set-up? Do you feel you have better control now? If the offer still stands on your old bindings, I will take them.
eh...well it was pretty last minute so I didn't think you'd be able to take off of work so soon. I actually asked off Monday at 6pm for the next day...talk about last minute. I wanted to make sure I had finished all of my application testing that day before taking the next day off.
I think the first 3 runs were the hardest for me. Everything felt different and it didn't help that I hadn't been on the snow in more than 7 months. My legs were bothering me a little bit initially since I set my stance a bit wider now but after 3 runs i started getting used to it and even today they don't hurt at all. I noticed that the bindings got a little loose so I took it down to the rental shop and tightened them back up. The guy there said thats very normal and that I may have to tighten them up one more time before the end of the day. I kept my eye on them and looks like my adjustment was good enough for the rest of the day. Getting off the lift was a big hassle every time. I haven't quite figured out what I'm doing wrong but maybe it has something to do with the stomp pad. Very different from the spikes on my other board. The snow was hard for most of the day, some parts were starting to show some ice from jibbers plowing at the bottom near the lift. After the snowmakers were on for awhile the snow started softening and thats when the board really showed how smooth it can turn. It was like butter. All I could do was smile. If it was that smooth with manmade, just think how it'll be on powder!
