well after like the 2nd or 3rd time of it not sticking i had the hair dryer on each pad for a good 20 min so the plastic probably did melt and stuck it to the board just not very well.

just bought one of these, arrived today, and it looks a bit big, it fits well, but i feel a bit like im wearing a US marine helmet. anyone else notice this? i guess ill have to try it with my goggles, it might look smaller in proportion to my jacket and goggles.

Do it yourself man, so easy, I'm a total noob and I waxed my mates new board, came up awesome, do it often too, every 3 days of riding at least, I know I'm gonna do my new board after everyday of riding. It's worth waxing again over the factory wax as well, just so you know it's all good and you can use a wax suited to the temperatures you'll be riding in.

it all depends on the snow, just for the sake of it, if im doing day trips, ill wax my board every trip, takes me about 5 minutes to wax a board, no reason not to do it really!
if im up for the week, ill wax it 2-3 times, depends on teh snow, look at the bottom, with your nails do light circles, if it leaves a really fine mark its waxed enough.. nothing re wax it.
always go over factory wax! their wax sucks!
on the othe rhand, my mates who spent season in japan waxed their boards twice and they rode everysingle day of the season.. snow was so dry, didnt need wax... i think thats the theory.

thursday was epic day. had first runs on zalis and excelerator after 36cm fall, was so good. soft dry and deep. pity its the middle of july already though... also got stuck at ridge chair for a good hour but got a $20 gift voucher for my troubles.

too bad the powder was 3 days too late for me i turned up sunday, at least i still had 2 days (thurs and friday) to enjoy it. What was with all the chairs breaking down, the triple on perisher was chucking out black smoke and stopped for like an hour and even the V8 went down.thursday was epic day. had first runs on zalis and excelerator after 36cm fall, was so good. soft dry and deep. pity its the middle of july already though... also got stuck at ridge chair for a good hour but got a $20 gift voucher for my troubles.
