  1. Can you elaborate a bit on the tankers. I am looking for a new pow stick. I am 6’4” 250lb. i gravitate towards the 201 but worry if it’s too long for trees. Any comparison you can offer would be helpful.
  2. For those who have used zipfit... I have been riding Intuition liners for a few years and keep having the same problem. Boots are good at the start of the day, but by the end of the day the foam has packed out and I am flopping around inside the boots. As the liners age, the time to loosen up lessens and I start the day barely able to do up the boots but after 4-6 runs I have tighenened them down 3 notches (which is uncomfortable). By the time i hit 40-50 days the liners are toast. Intuition has been good and replaced liners for me, but I want a better solution. Will zipfit work better? Full disclosure, I am on the large size for a snowboarder so probably load up the boots more than the liners are designed to handle.
  3. Hi. I am in need of some of the new style UPZ tongues. Stiff ones, ideally the race, but stiff grey might work too. For Size 30 boots. UPZ guy doesn’t have any and said he won’t until next year, which really sucks. Can an anyone help?
  4. Hi all, i have lost a pin off one of my heels. Questions: 1. Is this fixable? 2. In the meantime, is it safe to use these? No answer from Bomber during their “issues”, so hoping the collective can help solve. New Donek arrives today, so eager to get out there ?
  5. Is the liner squirming inside the shell a known issue? I just had my first day on new UPZ boots and this was driving me crazy. I asked UPZ and he said that my shell must be the wrong size. I felt like the liner fit really well, and stayed put on my foot but the whole thing was moving around unless I had the buckles cranked way too tight.
  6. I did this once.... Way overloaded the nose and got launched into the air. Managed 1 and a half flips with my front foot having come out of the binding. Seeing snow/sky/snow between your foot and the board is not a good feeling. Lucky for me I landed right on my head and didn't torque my knee into 1000 pieces. My wife was right behind me when it happened. She was white when she skiied up to me. Thought I was going to be dead or something.
  7. Thanks for all the replies. Work went crazy and I haven't had time to check in until now (bad website!). I love the variety, but can't get my head around those narrow stances and body positions of the 90s videos. I am now all set to go rip up Whistler tomorrow. Cheers
  8. Hi All, I like to watch carving videos the night before a day on the mountain. I find myself coming back to the same video over and over. Wondering what the collective feels is the ultimate carving video to get pumped up before heading out For me it is https://youtu.be/MC7HWs3kPjs Interested in others to check out Cheers, JJ
  9. Ok, I will play. You need to look carefully to see the hard boots, but trust me they are there :) An amazing day with Whistler Heli yesterday. I still have a big stupid grin on my face. https://www.youtube.com/Jc2r9V-okQc
