Definitely not a fan of horizontal scrolling.... even with IS.

Some interesting stuff to light up the Christmas tree lights: Two different trucks. The line up has gotten beefier... with 3 new models. Even the Tier 2 bindings are ratchet now.

Did they change the tread pattern/profile on the MAK Tires? Few lugs and just siped in the center for reduced rolling resistance and sliding, while retaining them on edges... possibling bi-level?

Those looks awesome, but aren't something I want to pay that much for just yet.

What didn't you like about the MBS bag? Just curious.

Sherpa Bag was delivered last week because the price was stupid low.

if you ride like we do, 599.00 isn't much for a GREAT board. But I see what you are saying, that's why there are $200 boards too! Trust me, there is a board for everyone. You will quickly learn why I ride GI, you will see a video like no other!

I can second the love for GI. I love my Flight Lite 100 and I'm looking forward to trying out the terraintualas! Christmas can't come fast enough.

So Eli, you saying there is a GI vid coming in the near future? Do tell.

ATB,

the MBS bag fits the board nicely however its bigger in size and doesnt form to the board as cool

the compression straps in the center to tighten up the center do very little. pull on them to hard the buckle doesnt hold. Made in China!

plus i like to add more to the bag than just my bag so the wheels on the Sherpa come in handy.

thats cause you too slow...:dunno:

but the MBS bag is pretty sweet! couple of my buddies have em, can put quite a bit more clothing and soft good in it.

But my sherps holds 3-baords, not assembles, my pads (helmet, knee, azz, and top) smelly shoes, extra tires bearings, and I've had the same bag for 4 years! It's been to Nabx for 4 years, and goes everywhere with me, ALL THE TIME!.

Its been tested and proven TOTALLY BAD AZZ!

Since there are probably rules about discussing/referring retailers outside of PKF supporters,

I've U2Ued you.

Pretty sure the sale ended about a week ago. It was originally mentioned in a thread where someone was looking for a landboard.

So I'm hearing September for the new gear being available. What's the skinny Eli? Also, the sherpa looks great. Seen it, want one.

i think indigo wolf has one or some.

I can get some but it'd be a week.

I will have 4 boards at sunset for demo, only one brand new Patrol, but I'll have a few sets of cross air hubs on an older patrol, older flight light, older conflict, and some sort of ramp(s)

It's gonna be a good time

Only snagged one for myself. If it would help anyone sitting on the fence and deciding whether to pull the trigger, I can take some detailed pics of it to post. McDuck already sounds like he's sold, but not sure who else is out there.

Fair warning... a random cat or two might appear in pics as they are both convinced that any new container (bag or box) is a the new condo they put an order in for while I was at work.

Pics are always good. So are you and Eli both GI reps, sponsored, or just big promoters of the GI line? I was talking with Rich G. and Matt McC. at the Cricket Rail Jam Tour here in AZ a while back about repping for AZ since we seem to be lacking in that area. U2U me if this is getting too off topic but I'd like to hear more about what you're doing as I've already gotten a few folks into mountainboarding here in AZ.

Eli yes, me no.

I just bumped into good deals on several pieces of GI gear due to pure luck.

Fate sometimes favors fools. :puzzled:

So I'm obviously looking in the wrong places then because I can never seem to find GI gear on ebay/craigslist/etc. Maybe I'm just not looking often enough? Or maybe indigo_wolf knows of a secret underground mountainboarding market and he's not sharing it's whereabouts.

the new cross airs are probably ready to ship, I've got 2 sets, nice and light wheels, very durable and basically easy to keep up!

I had an awesome weekend on my patrol with the Ozone Sport + and Zephyr

I love my board bag
