Funny one from a few years ago

LEEDOM, hard shells can be returned to the company for inspection and replacement if damaged. Mine has been rebuilt twice (craked first day of use back in 2000). Charge was around $30 back then.

Might want to slap on a Booster strap

so when are you going to ride Pine Knob?

So I applied a small piece of duct tape over the bolt head, machined recessed area on the toe-plate of my rear binding a few weeks ago and it has worked to eliminate snow / ice build up in the immediate area. If you experience problems engaging your rear foot, the first thought is snow on your heel, sometimes it is? Most times the issue is a nipple of ice forming over the toe plate bolts (both bolts) and it can be a challenge to remove and prevent re-occurence.

Treat your edges like a fine knife. Once the edge angle is defined you should be able to maintain the sharpness by honing and polishing (maintenance). I have my boards ground, which should establish a flat base and set your edge angles; for me, it's 0.5 degrees on the base and 2 degrees on the edges. Next, the boards are hot-boxed at the same shop. From there I will use the Wax Wizzard on the base and POLISH the edges. I do not tinker with the base metal. For the sides, I use a 2 degree guide and spring clamp to hold the files and employ a series of 4 diamond files of ascending courseness followed lastly with an Arkansas whetstone. http://www.tognar.com/deburr_tips_edge_polish_repais_ski_snowboard.html

Posting a video would certainly help others to critique and may help you see what you are doing versus what you may think you are doing. Video analisys of my riding helped me a lot. Equal edge weighting? Some have mentioned "feeding the dollar bill" or the "figure 8" progression weight transition (longitudinal) over the boards center from turn to turn. Maybe this will help http://snowboarding.transworld.net/photos/backcountry/the-core-four/

I was relating back to our Rossi World Cup boards 170, 184 & 190. The 170 never felt stable by comparison, kind of squirrely as compared to the 184. I have had a couple of 179 4WD's and they are a fun board.

The outcome can depend upon the type of footbed you have under the toe portion; flexible or firm. I have both and I found the flexible was curling up in the toe area and cramping the fit. With the rigid version I seem to have a bit more wiggle room and comfort.

Mondo size 27 2nd strap / cable lenght = 8"

On my 09 700's and with the toe in the 2nd notch, the first three positions on the 2nd or arch buckle do not engage. But then I try not to crank them as tight as possible, just sufficiently snug.

You may want to remove the straps from both the left and right boots to compare the strap lengths.

Have you turned the buckle to tighten the micro adjustment? Turn it clockwise to tighten.

You might want to remove the anchor screw to lift the red cover to see if the cable is routed around the round anchor. The cable takes a little effort to get it in position.
