no big, got a few i'm watching on ebay.

yea, i know what skidding is, haha. i agree, but if i can snag a frame for dirt cheap i'm down to try it.

i'm not sure what you mean? i know someone who can cut out the vertical drop outs and weld in horizontal ones. once the horizontals are in it should be fine?

I'm hoping for horizontals, but if the price is right on something with vertical my buddy can hook it up.

Hey, I'm trying to pick up an old track/road bike frame. Forks and headset would be a bonus, as would any other parts. However, just a frame would be cool. I'm trying to build a fixed gear bike to rip around town on and scare my girlfriend with, haha. So if you have any road/track bikes or parts sitting in the garage or shed let me know. Don't worry about condition as I'll probably be striping the paint and giving it a fresh coat. In other words, rust is not an issue (unless it is rusting through). Horizontal drop outs on the back would be nice, but I've got a friend who welds so I could work with anything. Let me know what you got, and any info/price you can provide. I'll be back in PA at the beginning of June, so I could pick it up to avoid making you pack and ship it to CO. It is like getting paid to recycle! Hook a brotha up!

anyone else wanna make an offer? i just sold my kayak for more then i was expecting... so i may be willing to let this go for a lil on the CHEAP side. let me know!

Wanna make an offer?

I've got a 06 Burton Dominant 154 up for grabs. I probably only has about 15 or so days on it. The base, and top sheet are in good shape and the edges are great as well. It is a wicked fun board, with a sweet flex pattern. Killer in the park, but solid enough to ride the entire mountain. This is a limited edition board as well. It has Dominant written on the bottom in Blue, where normally it would be pink. The top sheet has a killer white snake skin leather finish. No stickers, just 3 Dakine gold stud mini stomps that match the board really well. The only thing it really needs is a tune/wax, and some bindings. I really love the board, and don't want to sell it, but I like my Custom more, and I have other hobbies that I need money for (New Kayak, parts to build a bike). I'm currently at work, but could take pics if anyone is interested when I am home next. Any reasonable offer accepted.

fucking classic man. the end with the storm troopers talking was awesome, almost as cool as them sitting on the same lift chair, haha.

Oh yea, nothing like using a fake snow product that was "Reported to cause severe skin irritations," mid summer while sliding down a metal rail in shorts with your feet strapped together. Sounds like a grand time.

haha, glenn is a freaking machine. i mean the guy has been living at about 10,000 feet for quite a few months, and riding everyday around the same elevation. he also rips in the trees. i can't wait for him to come back to WP so my girlfriends can freak the hell out trying to follow us... sick trip report man, i love seeing people work for their turns!

I doubt any mountain is going to spread a chemical (even though this one seems fairly non toxic and safe) all over their mountain in a time where environmentalism is back on the rise. Not to mention it is like 2.25 an once it does not seem very cost effective.

in my first post i mentioned that i thought skiers were nuts because a fat ski in my size mounted practically weighs as much as my entire snowboard set up, and that ski boots are nuts. i believe he was calling me nuts for wanting to buy a 1000+ dollar snowboard and all the avy gear.

I just found out that the REI in Boulder sells Prior Split Boards. I'm so buying one there then. I can't wait to see my REI dividend check next year, especially since I just applied for the REI Visa. So I get 5% of every REI purchase and 1% and other time I use it. At the rate I've been buying gear there I'm gonna have a couple hundred to burn at the Co-op sale! Dosen't living in Philadelphia, PA give you enough reason? haha

Eh, i dunno, i've always dug how it looked to drop a knee through a turn. i don't want to have to learn how to ski though. I was reading the reviews on the Prior stuff, and they seem pretty solid the Khyber seems pretty sick. Yea, dude Grivel is one of my favorite companies. Their axes are so sick looking. I have no idea how they perform as I haven't gotten into ice climbing just yet, but I grip those bad boys up at every shop I see them in, haha. From what I've been reading the only thing Burton did an all right job of in the Split Board realm was the boards. They have quit making the plates/bindings/etc.

Not as much of a PITA as learning how to ski, when I can already ride pretty well, haha. Plus if I got a pair of teles I'd be buying boots, bindings, and skis. With a split board I can use my existing boots and bindings.

only when you think of it as a hobby and not a lifestyle.

From what I can tell they will split any of their boards and toss the Voile Split Decision Kit on for the price of the board +500. I can't seem to find out though if that includes skins and crampons. Cause that would get quite expensive once you factor in polls, probes, shovel, and beacon.

yea they are pricey... that is pretty much how they work dead on, haha. http://www.splitboard.com is the best resource I have found on how they work.

Yea, I heard you can call them and pretty much they will make any of their boards into a split. I don't have the cash to buy any board as of right now. So I think if that Burton I was talking about isn't still around when I can afford it I may give NS a call.

I posted a topic about picking up some teleskis earlier in the year, because I want to start hitting up the backcountry out here. After actually holding a few pairs of skis mounted and in a size appropriate to me I decided you skiers are out of your lids. One fatter ski practically weighs as much as my entire set up. I also then put on a pair of ski boots for the first time in my life, and I am certain that you guys are nuts. In addition, Glenn has gotten me addicted to powder by taking me into the trees and side country all season. I seriously have very little interest in park riding anymore (anybody want to buy an 06 154 Burton Dominant with about 15days on it, haha?). So I've been researching split boards, and I think I'm going to pick one up. I'm planning on taking my avalanche safety classes before next season starts up. I know that many PA guys probably don't have too much experience with split boards, but if you do please post any opinions or anything of that nature up. I found a used Burton S Series Split Snowboard, with a Voile Split Decision Kit, and Voile SD Tractor Skins. All in fairly new condition (the board looks flawless in pics). The whole set up is $700, and that seems like a pretty killer deal. Lets get some tele/splitboard talk going here. Some backcountry stoke in the off season!

Woke up today, and noticed that sweet gap I had between my sunglasses and helmet created probably the coolest tan line I have ever had.

For sure brohahn, we need to rally a larger crew of riders as sick as us. I mean WP has never seen that much talent before. Did you hear all the people yelling from the lifts man? They were loving it, and want more.

Sam is sick. His helmet cam footage is unreal. I'm bummed that out of all my WP trips I didn't get to ride with him. Next year maybe!
