so wratch the binding good and tight...wax.... get a new board (im mostly a park rat)NYDrew said:ummm, probably you are. I've been invited for the past 3 years, but im not spending that much time standing around a race shack.
I'll stick to some free skiing at whatever mountain I wind up at.
Good luck. Yeah, sharpen every day, wax and deburr every run. Do some heavy reading on wax mixtures. Use fleurocarbons. Crank them bindings for ultimate control. Crank them boots too. Dont straddle anything. You see, thats Bode's problem, he straddles a beer and probably some chick, then straddles gates the next morning. (i need to save that one for a bar night)
