Thursday report
Uh…what can I say about these three boards? They are the same yet different. Stiff, mid and soft flex from left to ride. To remember just think of Kate Moss being the stiff one. So as you might guess they each turn and edge differently. I haven’t taken out the soft flex yet, this Saturday for sure, but I kinda have an idea of how it will handle, kinda. It will be fun to ride I’m pretty sure. Definitely a perk with this little obsession, you get to ride something you have speculated on.
There is a snowskating misconception that the sport simplifies things. In reality it makes things more complicated as evidence of the boards we would be packing to the hill. We rode the beginner hill until the quad opened up. Always a nice warm up, mellow fresh groomers. Then back to the new spot which has been delivering some great turns.
We probably got about 4-5 inches but all of our tracks from last week were pretty much filled in. We were able to salvage the boottrack which made for quicker laps.
I have been having fun with the pole cam as you have all probably noticed. What I like watching the most though is the footage of the board, basically from the knees down. I just like watching the board as it turns. It feels like if I watch close enough I’ll actually be able to understand what is going on, but I never do.
Nice subs, I really like the transparent one, good to see the core… some cool things to do with this. Videos are nice to watch Mark!
LoL – The sub with Kate Moss on top has the stiff morning wood. Too funny!
nice new set of subs. people give me a hard time for having 3, soon to be 4, skates, but after i see your skate collection that you have on the road, well, i’m jealous.
yea that was kinda of a surprise and I’ve done the top deck with the same graphic so they should look good together.
I received the decks, the snowflake logo works great, thank you for the Tshirts and stickers, Gab is pretty happy too 🙂
great!! its always a worry when I pack up a bunch of decks that they will get lost in the mail.
Mark’s new skate is a mac truck in all conditions.
