  1. I rode burton 3 strap on an asym air waaay back and was amazed by the improvement to edge control with the glorified sorels of the time, my Merrel super comps negated my need for highbacks or 3rd straps, no more stoner rigged duct tape and skiboot liners and tongues. I wouldn't be suprized if somebody doesn't come out wit an optional 3rd strap lockable highback, now that carving is cool and they'll need the latest and greatest newfangled carving system to keep a marketing edge in selling upgrades for the laceup 1 season boots every body loves.
  2. I've modded many a liner over the decades, but never went quite that far, kudos for doing it right!! a boot fitter would have just sold you some intuitions
  3. wealth did not get me 40yrs of season passes and thousands of days of skiing/boarding before I was old and tired.
  4. y'all I'con hers still gonna need us dirtbags to spin the wheels and stuff the butts and make the snow!
  5. bomber might have the part, or you could ask in want to buy.
  6. 33 different choices for straps and laces and 2 buckle/stepin choices that would actually last more than 1 season, as long as it's black pretty much a non articulated soft plastic shell w/laces at this point
  7. All of us that could actually make a zipper line on 205s were lamenting the advent of shaped skis back in the 90s for this reason, It allowed people to get into terrain far beyond their experience/abilities and now the pow is toast by run #2.
  8. I've actually had to say I'm not going until you do!! Had them say "but we want to watch you!" so tell them to stay a couple turns behind me!!! Whenever I ride with anyone who's never seen me ride I warn them to stay at least 2 turns behind me because I will unexpectedly spin 360s and check lots speed followed by wide turns. As for joe public, I will never ski another weekend day at a modern resort for the rest of my life.
  9. 62, hardboots since '89. I don't need to change anything, I settled on the most comfortable bio-mechanical neutral ready position by '92 and over the decades gave up using boards that will not be happy at 30/45* angles, I'm the one that needs to be happy and comfortable.
  10. actually that's the problem, they're going fast in a strait line and I'm going just as fast in a curved line, laterally across the run which non-carving brains cannot comprehend
  11. hard to get in that position on a snow surf
  12. when aasi separated from the oppression of pisa folks, it started going down hill sideways, but with 1 leg pointed backwards! My hip hurts every time I think about carving in duck. There is a pervasive belief that you can't rock switch with both feet pointing forward and whenever I encounter this mentality I say to them " go tell that park skier they can't go backwards with plastic boots"
  13. 1 thick bumper is split, missing 1 mount bolt, for parts but could be used with new bumper, Make an offer
  14. those td1s will not be kind to your powder board, a lot of force on a very small footprint on the board, make sure the bumpers are touching the topsheet to spread the load.
  15. I'll let you convert the inches M 72", 32"inseam stance width 20" +/-, 30*r/45*f, +/- depending on board width always with 12*-15* splay 3*inward cant , 3*heel/toe lift (sometimes flat front) been using the old Nitro stepins since the nineties. It aint broke, it works switch, and after decades I got no desire to change anything, no mechanism in the heel to wear out just a pin welded to a metal plate; got 5 pair to last the rest of my life would be 6 but the original pair a toe bail broke out of the cast block on a steep bump run!! but the heel held me in so I could milk it down!
  16. 27 scarpa maestral touring liners, non moldable plastic tongue, stiff upper cuff, articulating ankle for touring. $20 +shipping
  17. 7/25m raceliners, stiff molded once, used twice, small hole made in heel for footbed heaters(not included), medium volume $40 +shipping
  18. 8/26 luxury liners medium volume a few years old but barley used never molded $40+shipping (sale pending)
  19. tried the bike mirror on the helmet before, the Change of focus required to see whats behind you on that tiny circle was not worth the effort, it was less disruptive to my carving glancing uphill every toeside turn.
  20. Hi Jack, I just noticed that I'm getting double charged for my support payments once on 14-16 and again on 20-22, Looks like it's been going on for a while w/out me realizing, cancel them both for me and I'll set it up again on a different card.

    Thans,

    Troy
