Thundercat 60 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yikes, that's taken a long time, eh? Mine arrived within 10 days I think... but I didn't have to use a forwarder. Fingers crossed you get it soon! Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Still not here yet as they had to repackage the package. I can't find my baby.. the repacking takes a while at this time of the year. So many people are shipping stuff at the same time. Im still waiting on a pair of sorels. Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Looks like Man In Japan got a smoking hot deal. Oddly enough, the cheapest place globally I could find a Fish was in Hokkaido. Thanks to BM I own it and its brilliant. When I bought my Never Summer I got it direct out of Australia for the same price as I could out of the US, whilst not Japan, it does demonstrate if you hunt around what can be found.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Haha! You didn't get one then Pete? My jacket came within 7 days from the US using a forwarder....I've never had a problem....touch wood Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Nah not last time but pretty keen to sort it this trip. TB where did you buy your jacket and what did you get? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I got a Burton Poacher jacket from backcountry for about 484 Polish Zlotys (Or 14000¥ for you non Poles ) That was with delivery included so I was proper happy. Buying here would've been upwards of 690 zlotys!! Link to post Share on other sites

@tokyo 14 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yes he's kind of flamboyant for a little tiny mini person with a silly chin beard isn't he. I sometimes don't know if I like or dont like his vocals. But I think like, as I like all their albums. Link to post Share on other sites

It's does go on, but when you hear them live, and somehow he fills the arena with that voice, it's sexual aural velvety goodness. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Dudes, im reducing my quiver since im getting back my beloved zerker. Three boards im trying to get shot of. Charlie slasher 164 (2011). Perfect nick, about 8 days on it. only a few scuffs in top sheet on tip: 30,000JPN yen Bataleon Riot 155 (2011). Again no damage. No scratches, just binding marks and tiny nicks in topsheet. 6 days on it: 25,000JPN yen Capita SMF 144 (2011), Brand new. One thin base scratch from its one car journey where it sat in the car and the girl bailed on riding it: 25,000JPN yen. Just put it up on craigslist but got no joy on the bataleon at all last time. PM me if youre interested. Offers obviously entertained, but no lowballing eh. Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 My baby will arrive tonight. Although tempted by ippy's Charlie now... Well worth it! Also comes fully waxed and scraped since its er, well... anyone at all who wants it, actually. I should also mention its got the COREST core graphic of the slasher ever. Its the one all the kids at EL crave (but cant buy from me because they live in the states like the fools they are!). ETA: I just got my zerker back :D Needs a wax though Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 A bit pricey for me though, right now. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Feel free to make a REASONABLE offer. Its going up on yahoo auction soon (one of my mates is doing it for me but waiting on her to put it up) because the gaijin market is rubbish Hopefully ill get some bites there. But thats not why im here today. Read this folks: Questions answered by Ride Snowboard Engineer Paul McGinty What are the biggest forces shaping the changes and developments you’ve made to your boards? Every board we shape has a unique personality because every rider is an individual. With that in mind, Ride has been on the forefront of shaping technology producing Hybrid camber lines for four seasons now. By blending modified camber lines into localized rocker zones we can really push performance to the next level and provide a trusted ride for every unique style of rider. The development cycle this year focused a lot of energy into refining and expanding these Hybrid shaping theories to make each board more versatile. This results in easy to ride boards right out of the wrapper that are complimented by increased pop and grip when you need it. We design each board as a system by interlocking the camber/rocker line into the flex design and into the sidecut design. We are able to make riding simply more FUN – we’ve tuned flex profiles and Ride exclusive technologies like Popwalls to be smooth and forgiving at low speeds, but precise and high energy on bigger features and steeper lines. Ride Hybrid technology really is the best of both worlds. To what degree are you emphasizing camber shape and core profiles in your lineup? From a priority standpoint, we have focused our line to be driven by the output message – to some extent it’s unfair to ask every consumer to know the pros and cons of specific technologies. This is where the face time in a shop is invaluable to the end consumer to ensure they get on the right product for their needs. So, to this extent we have made the conscious decision to categorize and present the line based on outputs not inputs – and in its simplest form that boils down to four categories: Park and Pipe / All-Mountain Freestyle / All-Mountain / Pow. From 50-feet away camber shaping is not a headline and this is a conscious decision understanding many consumers will be overwhelmed with 100 camber stories for 100 brands. So as much as camber shaping is one of the main design factors in all of our boards, it is not the first level of categorization when we present the line to other snowboarders. That being said, it is on the second level of detail when you look through our line. Within each output category, we quickly subdivide based on camber theory. For instance, within Park and Pipe we subdivide into three options for camber lines – Traditional Camber, Twin Rocker, or Hybrid Twin. So in summary, from a behind the scenes standpoint, camber line theories are still a primary design tool. But, from a public perspective camber theories are now a sub-category of the main output – Park/Pipe vs. All-Mountain, etc… Are you cooking up any new materials or construction techniques? Popwalls redefined what was physically possible in energy return on a snowboard last season. By adding carbon fiber pop rods into the Slimewall urethane sidewalls right above the edge of the snowboard, we eliminate all energy losses. One hundred-percent POP! Acknowledging the success of the first year of Popwalls on the Machete GT and Highlife UL we made the conscious decision to further develop and expand Popwalls into two brand new models this year to utilize this Ride exclusive material – for men the new Buck Up, for women the new Hellcat. For the Buck Up, we designed the board from scratch with Seb (Sebastien Toutant) and quickly the blank page was overflowing with ideas. Thirty-plus prototypes later, we have a board that has combined the ease-of-use of Seb’s favorite slopestyle board – the Buckwild, with the pop and stability of Seb’s favorite big air board – the DH. Seb’s new go to board, the Buck Up does it all. This is achievable because of Ride’s exclusive shaping concept and proprietary Popwalls. So to the original question, from a materials standpoint, POPWALLS were cooked up by Ride’s own factory and from a performance standpoint, POPWALLS changes everything – easy to ride at slow speed, massive pop, and precision at high speeds. As such, this year we are expanding their use and incorporating them into more models than ever: The Highlife UL, Machete GT, Buck Up (NEW!), and Hellcat (NEW!).
