Thanks, Alex

I know it’s a long shot but does anyone have some of these or spare parts laying around?
thanks

Thanks! :D
per the terrain out there (if I do move, I'll be primarly riding loveland/monarch/breckenridge)... should I upgrade from a 12M sidecut to a bigger one? and/or get a all mountain performer like the virus UFC?
or due to the vast terrain will an all mountain performaner + softer boots be the ticket due to the wonders of... powder.. and steeps.. and powder... and steeps... (lol)
Only you can answer these questions. It's personal preference.
IMHO, Breck sucks. And monarch is in the middle of nowhere. Loveland is a gem. I could spend my whole year riding Challenger chair at MaryJane and be happy; because I live for trees and bumps (especially on my 192cm).

Find comfortable boots (hard or soft.) And then ride the hell out of them. You'll find conditions they work well in, and conditions they don't work well in. You will never find one boot that works for everything. You can carve in softies and you can ride powder in HB's, but they are not optimal tools for those styles.
The terrain and conditions you are riding out east will be nothing like riding out west. I love the feel and control of HBs, but who wants to ride groomers all day? I'm way more interested in exploring the whole mountain in search of powder and tree-runs. To each his own.
What works for me 90% of the time out here (Colorado) are stiffer softies on long Tanker with Catek FR2's.
Just get out here and ride a bunch (in something comfortable) and you'll figure it out.

Never gotten anything but terrible service from falling rock. Best beer selection in Denver is currently a new place called Lucky Pie, a pizza spot on the 16th street mall in 1/2 of the old Dixons space. Great pies too.

I'm talking just about the (one set of) CD-sized metal baseplates, no other binding parts. These work with the OS2 or FR2 Catek bindings - NOT the older style that holds dimples.
I'm retiring my last burton board and don't need my set of 3-hole plates. But if I can get my hands on a set of 4-hole I can piece together a make-shift 2nd board kit....
Baseplates only; I repeat no power-plates or suspension system, no mounting-hardware.
Thanks

I really like living in Denver / Golden. Being +/- an hour from some great riding, and all the amenities and 'culture' of a big city. It's great place to wrap your head around living in the west. And between my bike & bus to get around town and small network of riding buddies to get up to the hill - I don't even have to own / drive a car.The climate here is amazing; I logged over 100 bicycle commutes (in a row!!) to work last year alone (>10 miles one-way.)T

Maybe you could call the steakhouse on the phone and they'd tell you the recipe. Just ask to talk to the bartender.

What makes this a $650 jacket?
-
Yes, I would expect that my insurance would pay for this.
What kind of insurance are you talking about that pays out when you wreck someone else's knee on the slopes?
Because I don't even have insurance that covers my knees on the slopes.

If you hit someone hard enough to break their board, one or both people are not going to walk away from that accident. If a broken board was the only carnage after hitting someone that hard I'd consider myself lucky.
Splitting the cost of a new board seems reasonable, but not necessary. Any board on the snow has been used. Just because someone jacked my board up doesn't entitle me to a glossy new board.
How do you ask someone to pay for a $2500 virus they just broke? How do you put a value on a NOS board that's not made anymore?
When you take you gear to the hill you assume the risk that it might not make it home in one piece. Materials could fail, you could hit a tree, you could hit a landing wrong, you could stuff the nose hard.
What if you do any of these to avoid someone who is out of control, and subsequently break your own equipment? Should they pay because they were out of control even if they didnt hit you physically?
Big bag of worms for sure.

In line on boots.

anybody?

Would blue e-rings be overkill for a 140lb rider? The thought of a cushy ride is alluring, but I just spent tons of time finding the stiffest softboots and bindings that I could, so I don't want to counteract that with too soft a suspension system (ie, the yellow e-ring).
I think that the yellow (soft) e-rings are even pretty stiff for soft-booting. It is not too soft.

Before I used cant/lift on my SB setup I'd get a terrible hot-spot on my rear heal due to my boot-fit. Once I could compensate with some heel-lift via my bindings, my foot issues totally went away. I run pretty standard SB angles around 25f/15r and find cant and lift to be absolutely essential.

If you have a pair of FR2's that are broken or have any spare pieces laying around that you don't use anymore ... I want them!
Such as, power plates, D3 squishy-things, mounting hardware, heel-cup's....anything. Will pay top dollar.
thanks

I can't express enough love for my 192. Eats up low angle powder. Stable at super high speeds. Fast edge to edge. Glides through the flats when everyone else is pushing/poling. Nimble in the trees. I even ride bumps and get in the half-pipe with mine.

You can wear a tight helmet with goggles underneath. Not my style, but it does have its function. You can take off your helmet and still have your goggles on. Think hiking or skinning. Spring days or warmer bluebird days. Whenever you need to be wearing your goggles with and without your helmet.

In line on the tanker.
Thanks

Fantastic shot mate!
-
Nice moves. You're tearing it up!
I'm curious if there's enough flex/forgive to be ridden all-mountain?
-
You'd probably be ok, but why risk it? Is it that much lighter? I bet you can leverage some power, even in softboots.
-
Prefer 3/6, yellow. But the 3hole discs are the important part.
Shipping to Denver.
Thanks you.

What's the mondo size of those boots? Liner, photos, age/condition? I'm probably interested.
Contact me though BOL-email if you can't post photos here.
Thanks

Excellent condition pair of stiff soft boots. Looks like hardly half a season of riding in these. Never saw a muddy spring parking lot. Includes the original plastic inserts to add extra stiffness. Offering these up at friends-pricing here before a buy/sell Facebook group. $80 Denver pickup.
Thanks, Alex
Sorry mods for blowing up the buy/sell forum - maybe should have listed everything in a single post.
