Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I loved the Nidecker 8000 base, that was really fast.

I haven't ridden my Vapor yet but the new N20 WFO base on some Burton boards has had great reports.

hehe... though agree with norris, the Salomons are very quick indeed. I had an '02 168 for piste blasting that was unbeatable!! (normally ride about a 160) and my first 'real' board was a Salomon and got the nickname 'The Board Of Power' from my riding colleagues due to its straightline speed....

I found the opposite today, burton bases were by far the fastest bases I tried, with salomon coming in last, I suspect their structure is more geared towards wetter snow.

Not really up with latest stuff but love my two boards

K2 Recon Riser 2006.
Salamon DB 2007

Really liked my mates K2 zepplin 2007.

Tried a few prior boards last year in whistler which were all amazing.
Sadly i'd just bought my salamon otherwise i'd of bought one there and then. - Did buy my GF one tho and she loves it, just couldn't say no to the guy at the factory combined with newly acquired CASI discount i had to buy something Happy.

Would love to have a go on a banana board!

my info, as ever, is based (no pun intended) on the 02/03 season as that's when I did the most riding I've ever done - I had two salomons at that point and they were quicker than the burtons of the time - though that changed if you ever got the base ground - seemed the factory finish (with the dimples) as based on their ski tech of the time, was quick as. Its poss, and more likely probable that Burton's overtaken them now...

Smile

Ride rock though! - swapped with my brother's A board for the afternoon on Tues at Cairngorm and couldn't wait to get my Ride back....

I am interested in the banana reverse camber technology as brands other than Lib are adopting it.

I loved my Rossignol Levitation, until I got my Ride Timeless (2003 model - the really stiff one). A flying machine. if you rode her with a hangover you got your back bottom kicked. However I have been wimping put last few seasons on a Nitro Suprateam.

To get back to stabs point. The Timeles would be my entry for one of the top 5.

Timeless is the same as the Yukon but in non-wide form isn't it?

My Vapor made all but the last 10-15m (the uphill bit just before the exit) of the tunnel at La Plagne, this week. That's a pretty quick base, in my book and very enjoyable when you do it riding past skiers that are skating/polling 50m just to get to the entrance Very Happy

option 1 - get a mate to call you saying he is nearby and needs a hand jump starting his car. The car would probably take 80+mins to sort as you have to try cleaning spark plugs etc as pushing didnt work...

option2 - both of you chuck food/beer down yourselves so you have to go home and get changed, but really another mate has a change of clothes for you in the pub, again this will take 80+ mins to do

option 3 - set a fire in the toilets, smoke alarm get pushed, fire brigade turns up, the wives will be too interested ogling the fireman to notice that you & your mate have disappeared looking for the little oiks that you saw running away. This will take 80+ mins
