Pricey though.....

Get some off the bay for about 250ish. I used 170s in Fernie and loved em - very fast and responsive, had 163s last year (experimenting) although they were good, they were not as good as 170s.


Yes...but which Monsters, as they come in a number of widths, some are flat, some have rail bindings.......
:D

im72 (corrected for those with keen eyes)were the ones I used in good powder in Canada - Red ones, with liquid metal and the chip?

In Les Carroz last year I used the older im70s - grey without the liquid metal.

I used Tyrolia "TR"(??) 12 bindings with both. Easy to adjust and very good when the ejector switch gets hit! :!:

The newer ones are about 400 but come with a semi twin tip for ripping out some jumps!! )

I used to think that before I moved here. Could be has all the right things but just is not.
We have one of the biggest drug problems, prostitute probs, mental health probs and alcohol probs in the country. So the crime rate is pretty high.

I used to do quite a lot of work in Bournemouth, which meant staying there. I was walking back to my hotel with a woman colleague around 8pm one night and we got the 3rd degree from the police in a squad car.

What they saw....Two women on the game, cruising for a pick up.

The reality....2 hard up C.S trainers heading back to their fleapit digs, carefully chosen by their Dept in the middle of the red light district.

I could'nt stop laughing about it....if only we earned anything like!

The other woman was really put out :lol:

A Pharmacist I know was well known for his slow driving, and he was driving really slow through the red light area and as he stopped to give way a young lady got in the back of his car and offered her services. The only way he got rid, he said he had no money. He speeded up his driving after that.
