  1. Hey! I'm looking for a TD2 or TD3 step-in, but am curious to finally give the sidewinders a try!

     

    I have the UPZ RC-10 in 26 with intec heels, and read people had fit problems with their 26 UPZ boots in the sidewinders.

     

    Can you tell me what year these bindings are? According to fin, post #5, if they are post-2010, there shouldn't be a need to flip the blocks around...

     

    Any info appreciated :-)

  2. Keenan, we must have posted at the same time, because somehow my previous comment just disappeared.

     

    Thanks for coming out with me and giving me some good pointers. I am installing 0 cant bindings right now, brought my old step-in Blax bindings, and will see how riding flat will make me feel.

    I will also take the Madd out today :-)

     

    We finished our day with an Irish coffee, walked back to our car, but it wouldn't jump. What a buzz killer at 0 Fahrenheit. It's been a while since I experienced such cold temps!

  3. I will be there from Tuesday, 12/30 until Thursday, and would love to link up with someone who can instruct me a little. 

    Really need help with my heel side turn, maybe looking at my setup/stance, and body positioning as I am going down the mountain. I've been on an alpine board since 2007, and feel I have bad habits due to never having had lessons. Won't be able to come to SES next year, and spent plenty of time reading the Carver's almanac, but theory only just doesn't work for me.

     

    Any info appreciated. 

     

    Will be back in the Tahoe area for the rest of the season, so if anyone would ever consider giving me a full day lesson, or knows of an instructor, please speak up as well. Of course I am willing to pay, I am really serious about improving.

     

    Thank you.

  4. Hi! I probably should have asked before ordering.

    Just ordered a TD3 2nd board kit with 3 degree front and 6 degree rear disk.

    I forgot the setup of my current bindings, and don't have the board here to check, but I seem to remember that I can use each disk on either the front OR the rear, but am confused now that bomber is letting me choose between "front" and "rear".

    Does it matter?

    Thanks.

  5. ...before I go ahead and buy a new second board kit, wondering if anyone is selling their used TD2's step-ins?

    I am flexible with disk angles and rings, am currently using a 3 and 6 degree disk and really like that setup.

    Make me an offer.

  6. hey, thanks for responding to my "want to buy" post!

    I'd love the kit, but not with all 4 disks.

    would you sell it with the 3 and 6 degree cants?

    lemme know... either arrangement you are willing to sell, please consider me first in line.

    thank you.

  7. ...got the same model = same top sheet, but my base sheet is completely black. I assume it must be the same year anyway: purchased in March 2007. No idea when Prior puts up their new product line, but I assume they design their new models for each new season, which makes me further assume it's a 2006/2007 season model.

  8. my mom will be visiting from germany, and i just requested either of the kirkwood days off. can't make two days due to work, but hope one day will be approved.

    i probably will know the day before...

    i will drag my mom along, and i so desperately want to try a metal coiler :1luvu:

  9. i recently made the mistake of trying to ride down to the parking lot through powder. turns out the powder down there was covered with mud from the cars. i took a tumbler, and you can imagine how i looked like after that.

    mud baths give beautiful skin :lol:

    don't think there is a good way of getting out of the powder other then being patient and laugh your troubles off...

  10. To adjust the bindings, BlueB explained what I have to do.

    I assumed I need to unscrew everything, and while I tried to loosen the long screw, the nut on the other end turned too. So I tried to hold the nut in place so it doesn't turn, and that's when the trouble started.

    Apparently the way to do it is EASY!!

    The nut is SUPPOSED to turn! Only thing necessary is to turn the screw with a Philips and the block will automatically move, millimeter by millimeter.

    If I would have known earlier :freak3:
