Hi Kurt, Could you give me some more details on the apex board? The type of rider it was built for (weight,etc.) and the length, and anything else you might know? Thanks Chip

Sent you a PM.

Next in line if loopback backs out

Contact me regarding the boots. Maybe Cateks if not step in. Also in Canada.

Agreed. You have to wonder why.

It looks like you are missing 4 of the cant/lift adjustment screws too. Is that correct? Thanks

kool. Well done.

Chris, Thanks for that clarification. Very helpful. Chip

Never, ever use UPS. Ever. They will screw you. Specifically request NOT to get it shipped UPS. If it comes UPS, refuse it and send it back. Don't use UPS. I would recommend not using UPS. USPS is great. Purolator works too. I would not use UPS.

To be more specific, I need the discs with the spherical nut and elastomer ring.

On the binding it reads, Catek Olympic Series, Model S. I can't find any information on whether or not OS1 or OS2 plates are the same thing or even inter changable.

Just the base disk kit. Not the whole binding. This will allow me to switch my boot plates from board to board. Easier to bring all the boards when travelling (less space in bag) not to mention a good cost effective solution for a quiver.

Can anyone steer me in the direction of a set of Catek Olympic base plates? Thanks

Yo Ace, Check your email

How many rides on this bad boy?

Yo, Justin A., Put me on deck if things don't work out with the previous post.

Same. Right in the middle, as recommended.

1998 Hot Shine 162. Lots of fun. I use it as a rock board and for completely sketchy runs but can't seem to kill it. The base is rough but tons of camber left in it. Very snappy. Great for moguls and drop offs.

I'm with Bobby Buggs on this one. I have only ridden a handfull of alpine boards but my metal Coiler AM rocks. I'm a superstar on it.

I wish I could remember. Sorry. Betcha yyzcanuk knows. One thing is for sure, not enough. To get a 6 lift with a 3 cant on my rear foot and a close to three lift on my front foot I had to put the one big spacer on the rear heel, remove the standard spacer that comes attached to the rear of the other binding, and put that on the toe of the rear foot then reverse a few small spacers to lift the toe of the front foot. Sound confusing? It is. Took me a while to figure it all out. SnowPros are similar except with not enough screws as well. Proper screws are cheap and accessable but very inconvenient when your trying to do the job.

Ya, Flow are the way to go. I don't like sitting on my ass to do up my bindings and I don't like taking too much time strapping my boot in either. Tons of support and adjustment. No pain on your feet. The Flows are mint.

I prefer the hardboots but I still ride my softies every now and then. Sometimes it's fun to dick around in the park, jump the drop offs in the terrain under the chair, get big air, do some jibbin'. I noticed that ever since I started hardbootin' I have become a much better soft booter. Much better.

I did two last night and I'll do another two tonight. Big bucks if I take them to a shop and no guarantee on quality, It is way worth it. As already stated by others, proper tools are essential, although my iron isn't perfect but it worlks fine, and start with a board you are least attached to. Practice on it three times before you tune your babies. This link here, http://www.alpinecarving.com/tuning.html , really helped me out a lot.

How do you adjust cant and lift with these bindings? Disks? Shims? Screws? Is everything included? Thanks
