Palmer Pulse or Ride DH?
I am buying a new board but I am still undecided. I like to do big air tricks. I am not so much into rails. I am going to Whistler in March and I want to buy a new board before then. I was looking at a Palmer Pulse and a Ride DH. Any suggestions on boots would also be appreciated. THANKS
Palmer Pulse or Ride DH?
I'd go with the Ride DH, the brand Ride makes their boards better than Palmer and will last longer
Reply:Ride is made in China, Palmer is made in Austria. I own a Pulse and do not buy it if your looking for a true park boards, its a little stiff! Report It

Help with picking up a new board-intermediate all mnt/freestyle :))))?
I've been riding a burton feather 143 (2006 model) for the last two years and I think it's right for me in terms of lenght/flex-I'm 5.3tall and weigh about 114, quite athletic. I learned some basic tricks like 180s and 5-0. however I'd like to get more into tricks, while still be able to ride the whole mountain on one board (not too expensive). Im looking at:

Stick with your feather YO!!! ITs a sick deck, you dont need a new deck, IM sure if your just starting to learn tricks that your probally just unlocking the true potential of your snowboard. Spend your money on some NEW fresh gear. Dont buy a new deck you dont need it. Trust me I fight with myself all the time about this, I have a burton custom from 2003 and Its so frickin beat. ( as far as cosmetics) But it still has pop and is just as buttery as a jib deck like the rome artifact or k2 www.. I always see these kids with the flashy new decks and think , wow i need a new deck, but then i just remember that the deck I have is still SICK and perform so good and im so used to it and in tune with it, I cannot part with my custom. This is just my opinion... If I were a chick and I was getting a new snowboard. Id get a k2, they have some MADDD nice chick decks, and there chick team is rediculous.
Reply:From those three I would suggest the Rome Vinyl. Rome makes some great boards. I don't know anyone who rides the Vinyl, but I know guys that ride the Agent, Slash, and Machine. These boards are very "freestyle" oriented, but also do fine on groomed trails.
You might also consider Sapient - I know girls that ride both the Stardust and Seduction - they are very happy with these boards.
Reply:Keep your board and save your money until you grow out of that board or you tear it to shreds. That board will be fine for what you are thinking of doing. When you are in need of a new board check out Burton and K2 because in my opinion they make the best girl boards. Until then, happy shredding and keep progressing.

Chuck Palumbo?
Finally some talent, he was a tag team champ wit billy gun, and was in the F.B.I. I hope we can see more of him, and u cant say he stole the undertaker gimmick cause well, he builds it, so he can ride it. Running Boot and Swinging Side Slam as finishers so far. Maybe something new will come up. But we might see this guy in mid main events or main events. Either way it would be cool to see him hold a championship of his own. So what do you think could come from him?? Will he be lik a chris masters and last two years wit out holding a championship? Or will he be on top??
Chuck Palumbo?
I thought Palumbo looked good but he lacks charisma so he will rise right to the middle and fizzle out. Maybe a US title push but he will never win it. If they get him a decent partner I could see him being tag champ again.

Equitector Field Master Jodphur Boot??
hiya, I was just wondering if anyone has tried these boots? they promise to stop the foot slipping problem? my o/h is currently learning to ride, he has a pair of joddy boots already, but he wants to know if these live up to their promises, ?? he is currently spending around 10minutes a lesson 'finding' his stirrups and getting his feet back to normal...? also does anyone know if riding schools (uk) do 'bareback' lessons anymore? (i'm thinking that would help his balance a lot!!)
so.. any reviews on these boots would be really helpful,
thanks.
Equitector Field Master Jodphur Boot??
You don't say how long he has been learning for. If it's not been long, maybe he just needs a few more lessons. At this stage I wouldn't be recommending anyone to lay out loads of money on pricey boots just to achieve something that will come with practice. I think you might find that riding schools would be reluctant to let anyone ride bareback these days because of insurance issues. However, I do appreciate that it just MIGHT be a man thing - when mine takes up anything new he wants to be an expert overnight and have all the best gear! Can you persuade him to be patient with himself?
EquiTECTor boots are for proTECTing your toes if you get stood on, by the way, They are popular but as a way of keeping your feet intact. As far as riding is concerned, the boots are only as good as the rider wearing them.
Hi, Izo, nice response, thank you. You fill in a few more details this time!
While it's still true what I said about the boots, I might have made a few more helpful suggestions if I'd known about your partner's situation. I used to help with my local R.D.A. group, they will have specialist equipment like ladder reins (and also specially selected horses). Do you have a group near you? I used to teach disabled adults sometimes and we all had great fun - NOT tame at all, in fact they were braver than I am.
I totally agree with you that lungeing would be helpful, even just at a walk to begin with. I hope you can find someone who's willing to help you in that respect. If you're interested in finding an R.D.A. group, the B.H.S. website would be a good place to start. I'll keep checking out this page to see how you get on. Good luck. xxx
Reply:How are the treads on the bottom of his current boots? If they seem ok, how are the tread pads in the stirrups? If these are ok, he probably needs to grip more with his legs, and I would reccommend investing in some half chaps before som new jods.
Unfortunately I cannot comment on the quality of that boot because I don't believe they are readily available in the U.S.
Reply:tell him to grip more with his legs i don't think its the boots
Reply:Izo I think that the reason your o/h is loosing his stirrups is BEcause he is gripping up. See if he can let the full length and weight of his leg fall into his heels not the ball of the foot. It acts like a piece of elastic taking up the slack.(You do want to have a boot on that can grip the stirrup and not let it slip out. Don't know bout those ones sorry) Let him walk sitting on the horse and feel where the natural movement causes his leg to move up and down a little as the horses back sinks a little at each stride as his legs move forward. When riding I think that you should think of the weight of the person on top being centred somewhere under the back of the horse. (Not sure where exactly) If it is centred on top of his back like a big ball the tendency is to slip around and the person has to grip up. Then as his legs come up as they grip the saddle the irons are left dangling. Try some exercises like lifting his knees right up and out siting with only his bum in the saddle. This helps you to find the point of balance. Then when he lets his legs hang down again he is sitting deeper and his legs longer in the stirrups. Tell him to think of his legs hanging right down to the ground and feel his weight fall into them. HUH!sounds easy It's not but I hope it helps xxx
** Have you tried inserting a pair of those tread things into the bottom of your stirrups. You get them in black or white. I think you do have to be confident that your foot wont slip out when you allow your heel to take the weight.

Best boot polish?
A week ago I was riding in a lesson and my tall boots got quite muddy because of the many puddles. I have procrastinated on cleaning them (which was a bad idea). Today (4 days later) I saw them in their horrible state and decided I must clean them. I sprayed the globs off with a soft stream of water, but no matter how long I try to wash the specks off ( with water) , they just wont come off. They're not particles that you can feel by going over the boots, but specks that the dirt and mud left behind. Today I am going to a horse fair, and they surely have boot polish there. What is the best method of getting rid of these specks and will my boots ever shine like they did before? What is the best polish? and how muc will it cost? (it might be a bit more expensive at the fair) Thank you very much.
PS. I tried using regular boot polish, but it didn't make my boots shine like they use to. It only made them a dull black.
Best boot polish?
I would try cleaning them with vogel leather conditioner http://www.vogelboots.com/product_detail... first and then applying polish. I like to use the shoe polish that comes in the tin b/c it gets a better shine, but you can use the cream kind that comes in a jar too.
The trick is in the way you apply it.
First, you want to apply a really generous amount of polish using an aplicator brush http://www.123tack.com/winning/product.a... (don't put any polish on the inside of the calf b/c it will make your saddle gunky) Wait a few minuets to let the polish dry a bit and then buff the boots with a polish brush. http://www.123tack.com/winning/product.a... The last step is to buff them with a cloth (gives you the super shiney mirror finish) Also, it's a lot easier to polish your boots when you are wearing them.
NEVER EVER use one of those quick shine sponge things (they are bad for the leather) and only use glycerin soap on the inner calf b/c it will ruin the boots color.
Reply:I have the same boots. For getting spots out I highly recommend Leather New. It's a glycerine soap spray (so it basically the spray on version of those orange saddle soap bars) and it cleans very well. I use it in conjunction with a regular boot polish to make my look shiny and new!
For the shine issue: they sell these foam-like blocks to buff your boots with, they work very well. I don't know why cfazio thinks they're bad for leather (which they are made specifically for), but my coach buys them and uses them on everyone's boots as we enter the ring and she knows what she's doing.
Reply:Regular Dubbin will do the job. Failing that, then try normal glycerine saddle soap.
