Classic. Count on Jack to call my BS!
Maybe I'm the slow kid, but the UPZ's apparent heel lift it not so apparent to me. Indeed, to the contrary, I even felt a bit "flat" at 3/3, and wanted to get a bit more comfortable . So, I threw a 6 on the back of my two "go to" boards (black 180 KST [middle] and metal 185 KST ("the meat hammer") [far right]). I really like it. So that is why I'm at 3/6. But I wanted to stop tinkering--I had spent hours in the tuning room and was just sick of it (and, moreover, I realized I have no more 6s, just extra 3s). So, that might be the real reason; I simply can't go 6/6... (Does anyone ride 6 front, 3 back?)
On the UPZ topic (and sorry for the thread jack), does anyone have problems with getting a good, tight fit (bail/boot fit) using UPZs and TD2s? I ask because, while I love my TD3s (which are now on my black KST, not the Coiler), I actually had my rear boot release on the meat hammer on Monday morning. Luckily I was just gently getting from point A to B with my young kids skiing, so I just stopped myself and clipped back in. But, wow, it made me quite worried (worried enough that I switched boards). A bail release on the meat hammer while riding hard would be a disaster. I'm debating putting some OS2s on it until I can find someone selling TD3 standards. (PS: thanks to drschwartz, I'm getting an Apex for the Coiler; so in due course I'll post a detailed review of 180 KST vs. 182 NSR vs 185 KST, all with Apex v2.)
