When I rode it, Gilmour bias mirrors the natural foot positioning I gravitated to on a skateboard (longboard) and allowed me a more torso chest forward facing stance. Also boot centering (over the binding) helped my riding balance-wise, and was more difficult to achieve with smaller boots (M26) and the available on-market bindings.

Well @Jianan I am sorry to hear about there was no resolution...

@Jianan Were you able to contact TLN to explain the issue?

...my v2 has 5mm button heads. I believe that is the standard (vs 4mm flat head)

...let me add this. The farther apart the axels, the "stiffer" the board will ride, increasing turn radius...like a wide (non-plated) stance.

Strange. Mammoth has 20" for this storm and is closed today (Saturday) and not expecting more...

Thanks for that... When you say heel cleat movement issues do you mean you feel they go up and down? I do see the highbacks moving up/down 1/4 to 3/8" up down on a toeside. I believe @RoroSnow used pipe clamps to keep them in place (eliminating the ability to fold the highback down after use). May I also ask if you feel the Powerride wings make a difference, and in what way?

I personally like them a lot (photon/genesis). Truth, in the 90's I went to hardboots to rid myself of strapping in. Now with these I can ride more mixed conditions/powder with soft boots and no infernal strapping in. HB's are great, but not in every condition. in fact I'm riding more soft than I ever have in 30 years. Downside is that it can be difficult to step-in in powder. The only other option I would consider is the Nidecker Supermatic - no dedicated boots. However I like the greater forward lean adjustability of the S/O's.

Agreed. I do like the Boa system better than speed lace for ease of adjustment. Do you think the Powerrides would help the Photons?

Step-on Ion Wide back in stock at Burton...620 bucks!

I think OP is asking if there are other disks that allow the binding to move toward the toe edge. The burton disks do not allow for enough lateral movement. A slotted disk (vs holes) might work if made...

...then after all is installed adjust the preload and forward lean with the top/bottom nuts

Same here...

I am officially stoked! thank you!

The DGSS system has more forward lean travel capacity than the "free flex" unit (from personal observation). The "free flex" unit bottoms out later than the stock unit and sooner than DGSS.

Cancelled...this makes me sad and I wasn't even going!

@UPZ North America Bro! Thank you!! I contacted SG with no response. My daughter (SG) would consider me a bonafide hero... Looking forward to the website relaunch!

Here it is: "What BTS springs to use?"

Well it wasn't me who figured this out...a search of past posts will likely yield more specific info on the proper springs...good luck!

I also take off the stomp pad when they do a base grind...it causes the board to "hitch" when passing through the machine leaving a mark on the base...

Have you seen this at McMaster Carr? I once bought a number of differing springs here that worked well for BTS...ie they were the same springs as Bomber but different colors. I just don't remember which I ordered... Maybe someone will chime in.

Q: SG bindings require MS specific bales. Do F2 titanium and TD3 work with Mountain Slope with no modification or specific versions of each?

WTB: SG Beanie hat I'm looking for this beanie for my daughter with the same initials for her birthday. She doesn't ride like Sigi, but close enough for me! Do you have SG or Team connections? Thanks!

They protect the board like a "friend" protects a climber...

...watches video...immediately plots trip to Revelstoke...
