> [@zero assault](#): > > I cant wait to go > > I need to get my board tuned & waxed anyone recommend some place? Urban on Elmwood (736 Elmwood, kinda across from Spot coffee). $30 for full tune; base grind, edge sharpening and hot wax. and brush water channels. and i de-tune the non-effective edge. and clean everything up a bit as long as its in good shape (doesnt need p-tex or anything) bring it in on a saturday, and if it’s not crazy busy, I can usually do it right there for you on the spot. takes about 20 minutes. I wouldn’t be going right away though guys. good way to wreck your board. there’s like no base. I usually wait a few weeks before I get out there. I can’t go yet anyway, I gave my roommate my Cartels from last season. Just ordered some P1’s in the funniest color (cork) on sunday though (burton pro-form is cheapcheapcheap!). and they’re going on my white and neon green magne-traction, so it should look successfully funny. i have sundays off and will probably try to ride every one, and also im down for weekdays when I get out of class early ---

I live like 200 feet down the road. yea, I like the p1’s. I rode this year’s p1 last january at the On Snow demo at stratton. I rode the cartels last year, but I like the supercap strap better than the cap strap. Also, my foot is a 10, so Im right on the border of medium and large bindings. larges leave a little room and mediums feel tighter and more connected,s o thats what i’m going with. im usually not a huge fan of burton (event hough i always ride their boots and bindings cause they’re the best) just cause they’re a huge corporation, and the environment I grew up in kinda went against that (grew up on w. delavan near elmwood, go to school for urban planning, im a skateboarder which is very anti-corporate, etc.) but they’re pro-forms are really great deals. anyway, i live int he area too, im on ashland and ferry. honk if you see a white e30 coupe with a roof rack ---
