Public service announcment Be sure not to use loc-tite on your binding hardware. Is starts a chemical reaction that will turn your plastic pieces brittle. I just learned this today. This is why I need to replace my mounting discs. Use plumbing tape instead, or wait for the loc-tite to dry before installing. Thank You
Saw a silver bug eyed wrx with a new front bumper. You parked next to my lancer, I think your probably on here. Im debating going to Troll tonight too, whos going?
^^^ I would say never use lock-tight. We were always against it when we worked at the shop. It is a good way to mess up the inlets in your board.
Ive used loc-tite for 16 seasons and this has never happened. But I tell you what, Im NEVER using it again.
I gotta step in here....I've been boarding for 20+ years and professionally working on snowboards for 6. You can use loctite on mounting bolts and on certain bolts/nuts and set screws of the bindings. Yes you should allow the loctite to dry somewhat before putting the binding parts together. The only loctite to use on snowboard applications is BLUE.
Yeah, I knew about only using blue. I just didnt think of how loctite would make the plastic brittle. It looks crazy.
If there is a clinic I will be @ afton. Otherwise Debbie and I might join you. I will see what the scoop is on Friday Night Clinics.
I'm stuck out here in WI till friday but shold be back by 5 ish. What the snow conditions like back there?
Sounds like friday night clincs are on. 6:30 - 8:00 I will be working/riding @ afton. 8 - close i can ride with you if you don't go to troll. Otherwise, I plan on riding on saturday (day?) and I'll be working Sunday 9am - 6:30pm (7:30 - 8pm if i have a late lesson) and I am free to ride when i don't have lessons.... usually only have one or two lessons a day. hit me up if you come out to the hill.
I will be at troll friday night with my g/f and some friends from my work. So if your going lemme know, I'll post pictures of what I'll have on. Saturday the pros from DC will be at Buck Hill if anyone is interested. They are handing out gold passes to people to go to the dc mtn lab in slc, utah. I might be hanging out there saturday
FRIDAY night troll FTW!! Leavin Pinewskis at 9 should be at troll around 10. Going with a group of buddies. We should try and all park in the same area....
Hell yea, I will be there friday. I will be wearing this probably. I will be in the park all night Im sure so say what up, my name is Mark btw. And I drive this, sorry its not a subie. I'll probably park in the bottom lot or the main one in the middle (I don't park in the back cuz people always peel out and it chucks rocks)
I have no idea what I'll be wearing, but I'll be driving my wifes impreza wagon. Probably a white/red camo 686 coat and a green helmet.
:laugh::laugh::laugh: wish i could go with you guys. going to be out of town but hay there is always next week!
looks like i won't be riding Saturday not (dang rims). Friday night and all day sunday @ afton if anyone is going. I will be working but hit me up if you show up... if i am free (no lessons) i can ride 612-242-9789
small chance we'll be at afton saturday. We're having a wax/tune party at my house, but who knows, we may get the urge to go sunday morn.
better dress warm for tomorrow night. supposed to be pretty cold. What time is everyone thinking about heading up to troll?
Im debating 6pm ish so I can ride before it gets too rutted and icy, but judging by what the temps are looking like I may not be getting there till 10pm.
I think they stop selling at like 2am ish, so you can ride free for a hour if you'd like haha. I know the guy at the gate usually takes off around 1am. If your thinking of coming out you'll be able to buy one anytime for the most part Im sure.
I was talking to my wife this morning about riding tonight, we may just get a hotel or something up there. I know its only an hour or so, but we may or may not be drinking. Anyone know of hotel/motels near by?
Im unsure if Im still going or not, of course majority of my friends are backing out due to "its so cold and far." same people that brag to others from out of state about "yea we are outside when its -20 in hoodies." Kind of dumb, so Im debating just going to buck hill tomorrow (cept I just saw lift tickets are 40 BUCKS!!!! Rape and robbery imo). So I'll let you guys know, I might ask one of my close buddies and just go ride with him, sounds more fun anyways.
Hylan had their rope break on first full day of bring up and running. Go figure, lots of small stuff to play on though
woo hoo im about to head out for a evening of riding(im hoping there is something fun to do there) its the opening day for my hill, kinda annoying that they arent open till 4 I wanna go now!!!
That sounds like Hyland. It always snaps on the first few days. Last year someone mid season cut it with a knife for some reason. Lots of douche bags there, and almost always packed unless weekdays during the day.
i don't like the looks of this. i now can't ride tonight, but i should be at afton tomorrow morning (maybe) and sunday for sure (all day).
Im getting ready to go head out. We will be doing some pre-snowboard drinking at the hotel. PM me if you'd like to join. I'll also have MNSOC swag with me for purchase as well as MNSOC memberships.
