*Ace*

There is a guy on Instagram called powertraverse that was pioneering this kind of stuff for the past few years. Must have spent a couple of thousand easy on prototyping and patents. Still in the works, but here it is in action. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsrpCOxAWD7/?igsh=aHRsdnc5dnh4MWZn

If you are accepting that the F2 is a skwal binding you should pretty much add ANY alpine snowboard binding. F2 simply isn’t a skwal binding. I am actually a little bothered that Thias made his new boards wider just to make finding bindings easier. Making the new boards wider put them on the edge of not being skwals IMHO.

R.A.D. Skwal Binding

Wedge shaped model

I would be interested in this item if the above sale falls through. Thanks!

@RJ_ The SnowPros are designed in such a way that the binding angles are limited, like the Bomber TD1. The work around for the skwal specific model was similar, they simply rotated the bolt circle pattern to allow for higher angles. There was also a Thias branded model that had a plastic wedge shaped base plate versus the wedges under the bails.

F2 uses wedges for canting and lift, and yes too wide. Thias designed his latest boards around these bindings to make it easier to get out into people’s hands. Add SnowPro. They made skwal specific models and some branded ones for Thias. Not around anymore either I think. Virus just entered the market. R.A.D. had some custom binders they used to offer with a cable front bail. No longer around or offered I think. Pics to follow.

Pretty good for your first go at it! I have my eyes on the eclipse event and thinking about it...

@RJ_ I would recommend you add this to your library. The Inner Glide: The Tao of Skiing, Snowboarding, and Skwalling. There is a lot of good technique info in there that you can transfer around into most snow gliding activities. I would try to max the stance width as much as you can and then take a run and see if it feels any different. On my Easy Jungle I am on the widest insert pack AND the widest allowable binding width and I still wish I had some more room. Everyone does it their own way, so you do you.

Yes, I think right now I have to make the call to cancel the event at Berkshire East. I am open to perhaps meeting up at a different resort on that day 3/24/24 if anyone wants to try and get together.

The weather outlook for March doesn’t look promising for the spring ski season. I might have to rethink a date and venue for this meetup unless the forecast changes after this week.

@Shred Gruumer what about the base, just solid black?

There are 6x new old stock SG boards on EBay that are $600 and below FYI. 1sboarder = All Board Sports
