With not much going on in the Northwest the RWU crew jumped in the car and drove East to Cook City, MT to meet up with Todd Kirby and friends. Soon upon arrival in “kook city” came large volumes of snow! After about 5 hours there were already 7-8 inches on the ground, so we headed up the hill and built 2 jumps to have them ready when the weather cleared. Once the jumps where built we just explored the area and kept going back to the jumps to make sure no one high marked the landing. Well luckily enough at the same exact time that the sun came out, 2 snowboarders and a sledneck put tracks in both of the jump landings, subsequently ending the trip… When we got home we decided it would be best just to board in our backyard, “Ski Acres”.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy a little “California Soul” with Ride Snowboards 2nd Episode of Ride With Us. The boys take on the California and Oregon Mountains and have a little fun along the way.

Lindsey Vonn took home her 5th World Cup of the season on her adopted home soil in Beaver Creek. This amazing win was the 4th in a row that she has taken home; a new US record. Vonn’s World Cup win at the Super-G in Colorado is number 46 in her career, tying her with Austria’s Renate Goetschl for third on the career list.
Lindsey even joined in the “Tebowing” craze in respect for Denver Broncos quarterback, Tim Tebow, as she dropped down on a knee and struck a prayer pose after the race.
Despite personal drama (a recent divorce from Thomas Vonn), Lindsey Vonn is determined to take on the mountain, and we are quite certain she is doing just that.

For those of you out there with either the Ride EX or VXn snowboard bindings from this past season (2008/2009), you may have had the unpleasant experience of losing one or both of your toe strap adjustment lock levers. I’m talking about the little screw with a plastic lever that flips up and down giving you the ability to adjust the length of your toe straps. Ride Snowboards has informed us that one particular manufacturing run of both the EX and VXn snowboard bindings, including all colorways, had the lock levers cut too short to make enough contact for a secure fit, and consequently they may come unscrewed.
Ride has given us enough replacement levers to accommodate any customers needs. If you have experienced this problem with your Ride EX or VXn snowboard bindings, feel free to come to any one of our three Ski Pro locations and we will gladly help you replace your hardware. If you are outside our local area, please contact us via phone (480-962-6910) or email (skipro@skipro.com) with any questions.
Please remember, this was a manufacturing error that can be quickly remedied. Don’t let a bad screw ruin your day or your judgment of a fantastic binding. Now is a great time to fix them for free so you can be ready to shred as soon as the snow falls!

Carrying forward the “one-touch” concept that debuted last year, Ride Snowboards is updating and expanding their Contraband binding lineup. As many of you have seen, Ride is pioneering a new single strap/ratchet technology aimed at improving both ease-of-use and performance. With the addition of Ride’s new “V-Strap” system to the already light-weight MVMNT chassis, riders now have but one set of clicks to adjust, freeing up more time for turns.
The Ride Contraband binding setup has received mixed reviews from developers, testers, and consumers, although most riders find them quite comfortable and user-friendly when adjusted properly. Most complaints are the direct result of improper adjustment, or lack thereof, giving the rider an unbalanced perspective on the Contraband’s performance. I would HIGHLY recommend you watch Ride’s online tutorial and visit a reputable shop before making a full judgment on the Contraband binding’s capabilities. Once tweaked appropriately for their particular boot, most riders refuse another binding. Remember, it’s all in the setup.
Updates on the Ride Contraband for the 2009/2010 season include new Comfort-Flex highbacks, urethane Rollbar basepads, previously seen on the Alpha and Beta MVMNT bindings, and most noticeably, the Wedgie 2.5 footbeds. Ride now offers four levels of canted, or angled, footbeds designed to suit any riders’ style. With the 1.5, 2.5, 3.0, or 4.0 footbeds, riders can quickly and easily adjust their underfoot angle improving control, drive, and pop. These optional footbeds work particularly well for those of us who ride a wide stance and, interestingly enough, can be swapped between any binding in the lineup excluding the LX, LXh, and junior bindings.
