    Catek OS1

    Pete, Shipping to AU is $165. I have a feeling these bindings are going to stay state side. Greg

    Catek OS1 with long and short plates. $125 shipped. Paypal, please.
  3. I wouldn't ride without the bumpers. Without this you stand the chance of over stressing the board at the disc and possibly damaging the top sheet of the board with the ends of the power plate.

    Why did you do it? You're out of your element Donny.
  5. My personal favorites are my Outdoor Research Goretex mitts. Not sure the exact model, but they've got a removeable primaloft liner and one of the best palm materials I've ever used. I've got 2 seasons on them and no visible wear.
  6. As for me, I've probably spent half my season on a 167 Cross in softies. It carves great and this setup has been pretty forgiving for me as I recover from last summer's knee surgery. It's Cliffh's board (thanks for the loan) and I'm positive he'll have some good things to say about the "whale" (only a whale compared to some).
  7. Tex, I needed to update my email. Please resend and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Greg
  8. The name on the board is 90mph Ginsu though I don't think It's ever seen that speed. It does carve nicely but I can't accurately compare it to a Ginsu either.
  9. Maybe a dozen. Definitely no more than 20.
  10. Don't even think about it!!!!
  11. I've ridden a Nidecker Escape 174 with Catek Freerides. Not a full on carving setup, but pretty close. I don't have the stiffest soft boots around, and was able to crank turns no problem. It was actually the first time I was ever able to grab an edge in a heelside turn. I rode the front binding somewhere around 45 deg. Granted, it wasn't the best for side support, but it did work.

  12. Email me at garmstrong1 @ cox.net. I may be able to help you. Greg
