Ride DH vs. Nitro T2: Quick Comparison
I consider the Ride DH and the Nitro T2 to be of similar designs. Both are freestyle boards, both have a twin shape, good in the park, yet offering a wider scope than a pure jib board… Earlier this year in Laax, I was riding the ’05/’06 T2 with MLB bindings, and Martin was riding [...]
Nitro T2 Snowboard Review
The Nitro T2 is a great board. I was looking for a true twin that I could ride both inside and outside of the park. All-mountain freestyle. A single board. The T2 delivered. Get the latest Nitro snowboards at dogfunk.com. I’ve got the 155 Nitro T2 from the 2005/2006 season. I’ve ridden it for three [...]
Burton's Tool Free Lenght-Adjustable Binding Straps
Mini Review Fairly recently I bought a new set of Burton bindings (not for myself). I was intruiged by the “tool free” adjustable straps so thought a few words here might be useful… I’ll be honest and say that the first time I looked at the straps I didn’t see how the mechanism worked. To [...]
So What About Next Season?
Is it too early to start thinking about where to ride next season? For sure there’s still a lot of snowboarding left in the current season, especially with the recent snowfall, but I don’t think that I’m going to be able to get to the mountains any time soon… So maybe it’s not too early [...]
Photos From Laax
So, as I’ve mentioned recently, whilst we were in Laax we had this idea of staying up on the mountain after the lifts shut to take some photos as the sun was setting. The plan didn’t work out, but here are some photos we did take, while the sun was still up… This photo wasn’t [...]
Where Are You All Reading From?
I’m pretty interested to know where you guys and gals are reading this blog from, so I’ve added one of the many, freely available, country counters. I chose the NeoCounter from NeoWORX, simply because a friend has used it. It seems ok, if not a little glitchy when the mouse moves over it. Anyhow, it’s [...]
Back Home
Well, we’re back now. We actually got back yesterday evening. With this trip, I really had the feeeling that I didn’t want to come home. I’m not quite sure why, but it was there. Maybe it’s because this was my last planned trip of the season? Maybe it’s because there’s half a meter forecast to [...]
Foiled
Well, our plan to stay on the mountain until sun set was foiled. To be honest, I’m not sure what I expected to happen. Around 30 to 40 minutes after all the lifts had stopped we were told to ride down by one of the ski patrol/marshal people. At that point, there was us and [...]
