178 x 21 nirvana balance (vsr i am pretty sure, no clue what the sidecuts are). i've been riding one of bruce's AMTs for the last 4 years or so and i love it, so i'm really looking forward getting on this one as i've heard so many good things about the nirvanas :)

I made it. It's been a long and arduous process (on Bruce's part) to finally get the board made. We initially tried for a real bubinga veneer, and that didn't pan out due to to the fact that it flexed differently at different temperatures (got *much* stiffer as it got colder according to Bruce). I ended up finding a high-res picture of bubinga and making my own "graphic" topsheet. I've been a fan of woodys for a long time, and I'm excited to finally climb back on one since I stopped riding my arbor 7 years ago :) wally

here's my new toy :) 178 nirvana balance. topsheet is bubinga burl. can't wait to ride it, but have to wait until we get more snow!

working through multiple offers in chronological order. i'll be in touch with everyone to let them know status after i hear from the people in line in front of them. thanks for your interest! wally

bump. 1 set of bindings and fintecs still available.

since these are basically deeluxe boots, i'd imagine that you could install bts (at least the bomber version as talked about here: http://bomberonline.3dcartstores.com/BTS-kit_p_106.html). i don't think you need AT bindings - i just borrowed a random pair of downhill skis from a friend and fit the bindings that came on them to my boots; it worked great! wally

hey john - i've only been able to get out on them twice this season so far, but i do like them. they're comfortable, and i *love* the convenience of being able to switch between my board and skis without having to change boots. i'm far from a hardcore skier (hadn't skied for ~20 years before last season), so i can't speak to how well they'd do on the steeps or bumps but they do what i need them to. these boots are a 27.5 (which is the same size as the head stratos pro's i had before) and they have a 299mm sole length (which is also *exactly* the same as my stratos pro's - i measured them both to make sure). i believe my current board has a 21cm width, and i'm running 50 rear and 55 front for my angles. i haven't noticed any boot drag running them like that. hope this helps! wally

bouzeux - my apologies, the boots have been sold (i hadn't updated the post because i wanted to wait until the transaction was finished). i have updated the top post with what i still have available. let me know if you're interested in any of it. thanks, and happy holidays! wally

Boots and BTS are sold. Bindings and Fintecs still up for grabs.

Hello everyone - It's taken a little while to come to fruition, but i've found another option for boots. Last year, I started researching using AT boots on my board because I have a daughter who's now 3.5 years old and *loving* skiing. I didn't want to have to carry 2 sets of boots in addition to already having to haul skis and a board, plus my daughter and all of her stuff too, so AT/ski boots seemed like a way to cut down on the amount of gear I would need. I came across an OLD thread by yyxcanuck (http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?14753-TD2-A-T-boot-option&p=130271#post130271) which showed what looked picture of a Deeluxe snowboard boot with a ski boot sole. Reaching out to Deeluxe, I was told that the new iteration of those boots in had seen were coming out for this year. Behold the First Degree Stormtrooper boots :) : http://www.firstdegreeboots.com/boots.cfm. They're made by Deeluxe under a partnership with Icelantic Skis. I got the ST2's (stiffer), and their sole-length is exactly the same as the Head Stratos Pros I have been using. So far, I've only made it out one day so I can't really offer any constructive feedback, but I do like them so far. Hope this helps anyone out there looking to straddle the lines like I am. wally

i'd like to get $100 plus shipping. wally

yes, that sounds great. hit me up via my email (click on my screenname in any of my posts and it'll pop up a menu to email me), and we'll work out the details. thanks! wally

as listed on bomber's store, the liners are "partially heat moldable", though i'm not sure exactly what that means. i do have 1 set of bindings available. thanks! wally
