  1. UPZ Boots

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    From the looks of those, I would definetly recommend that you have a metal threaded t nut on the inside of the boot. When you convert from standard heels to intecs, you are now placing tremendous load on the heel piece rather than on the boot ramp. This means that you need to have a solid connecting between the heels and the boot.

    If you simply modify the heels, be prepared for a ugly event when the screws strip the threading on the boot and your boot/foot/body releases unexpectedly

    Take a look at your old boots and you will most likely see a metal insert that your intec screws thread into. With luck, those (or new ones) should pop into the hole that is already there and off you go

  4. Heli-boarding - soft or hard?

    IMO - I would not recommend any carving boards - escpecially if you are hooked up with any skiers. Most likely, you'll be in anything from perfect powder to thick, crusty off-piste type conditions. A carving board will want to track (and sink). I rode a flow classic 182 at 200 lbs and handled all conditions. The key is to find a board that stay on top of whatever conditions your in.

    As for back-up equipment - you'll most likely be in the middle of nowhere and want to have seconds on whatever you can. Also - carry two goggles for different light conditions. If you haven't experienced flat light - you will

  6. Fat and short

    It's built with enough camber that it stiffens as it arcs. I've ridden the RT 163 168 and 173 and prefer the 163 most of all. Now - do we want to have a discussion about a Madd Proto 167 that I was able to get my hands on :biggthump

  8. OT: Dog Nut

    Here's our 6 year old 235 pound mellow giant participating in our wedding as our ring-bear(er). Being a large breed dog, he unfortunately didn't have a long life and we layed him to rest earlier this summer. Now we only have his 180 pound sister and two 95 pound labs - yahooo our food bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    English mastiff for those who are curious. And for the other curious folk - yes, the wife is a hardboot rider!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. Prior 175 custom - 160 waist

    Shoot me your email address and I'll get you some photos. As for the width - I would recommend looking at your current boot/board spacing and determine if your binding angles will work for a 160 width board

    Also, I have no way of telling it's age. Pictures can help you make that call when I send them to you

  12. Prior 175 custom - 160 waist

    in For Sale

    Posted

    Selling for $150 to whoever responds first. Originally offered for best offer and mostly received trade offers. I don't need any other boards right now ( I think 12 is enough - for now ;) )

    I acquired this board in a trade not realizing the waist width - to narrow for a mondo 30 boot (In my opinion) 175 length - sidecut approximately 14. In good shape - time for a tune-up? - with plenty of base and edge life.

    Any narrow waist riders out there?

    Photos are below

    I live in Boulder and I'm friends with his business partner - Larry's the best.

    In town - he is only known as Larry the boot guy - I've never known his last name and have known him for 10 years. He didn't get the name for no reason

    It's sunny in Boulder today and there some fresh granola in the oven

    :)
