  1. Ron, I ride ~57 front/53 back, on a 20 cm waist Coiler Nirvana or Donek FC. I have two non-Sidewinder sets of TD3s I've used for several years. That would be great if I can try the yellow pads first, although it might not be for another week or two. I'll let you know after then if I'd like to trade or not. And thanks for the option.
  2. Looking for a full set of blue E-pads for the step-in version of the Sidewinder (I was told the E-pads for the standard SW are slightly different?). Would be willing to trade a set of yellow pads. Thanks!
  3. I'm into my second season on the RC10s (MP 27) and am also very happy with them. I switched from Deeluxe Suzukas for what seems to be a prevailing reason: moderate heel lift in the Suzukas no matter what I did, and pretty much zero heel lift in the RC10s. I was OK with the stock Flo liners. They weren't super comfy, but I didn't have the squirminess or other issues others have complained about. I did heat mold them a bit with a hair dryer, which helped with a couple of minor hot spots initially. The toe area fit was great from the beginning, which was not the case with my old Deeluxe (Intuition?) liners: with those when molding I had to use a toe cap + rubber wedges between the toes, and usually more than once to get it so my toes weren't super cramped. However, this season for the RC10s I went with Intuition Pro Wraps, for reasons most people have made the switch: claims of snugger fit, stiffer, better overall performance. Initially I was tempted to go with the tried-and-true Power Wraps, but was concerned about crowding in the toe area. Again, the stock Flo liner/RC10 combo was a perfect fit for me in the toe area, and I didn't want to lose that. The Pro Wraps as described on their website fit my needs exactly: "PRO WRAP liners are new to the Power Wrap Series, and are an excellent option if you require the medium body thickness of the original Power Wrap, but are looking for more room in the foot and toe box area." The neoprene toe section of the Pro Wraps is very similar to the Flo liner. So for anyone thinking of Power Wraps or similar in RC10s but are concerned about crowding in the toe area, the Pro Wraps could be a great option (the Pro Tongues have a similar toe construction, just in a tongue version). And yes, compared to the Flo liners, the Pro Wraps are noticeably more comfortable and snugger, and perhaps a tad stiffer.
  4. Be careful, working in Gresham... With sufficient snow, Ski Bowl can be great. Decent enough carving in the Lower Bowl (slow lifts give me a lot of time to recover), and superb steeps and trees in the Upper Bowl. The problem so far this season, as Keenan indicated, is a lack of snow. They still haven't been able to open the Upper Bowl, and the Lower is pretty thin. Timberline or Mt Hood Meadows would be a better bet this coming week, and each are only another ~20 minutes from Ski Bowl, depending on traffic.
  5. West Carven - for now I prefer to keep everything together as a package.
  6. Bump: So I scraped and brushed the storage wax off, cleaned the topsheet, and noticed just what great shape this board is in, actually better overall than the 8.5/10 I claimed earlier (even with the repaired nose ding). Sure, it's an older, long-discontinued model, but a really fun and slashy powder board, and even a decent carver. Probably best for someone less than 200 lbs (which I exceed by about 5 full six-packs). Some more photos...
  7. I finally get to contribute to this thread - first brand new boards in about 10 years, both customs! I actually received the Coiler (first ever for me) near the end of last season, so far only one day on it in less-than-ideal conditions. The Donek just arrived last week, hope to get it out this weekend. Coiler Nirvana FC Balance: 174 cm, 20 cm waist, 10.5/12.7/12 m scr. I asked Bruce for a board to help me improve on the steeps and that is well-suited to the Cascade Concrete typically found on Mt Hood, and this is what he recommended. Donek Nomad: 170 cm, 25 cm waist, 8-13 SCR. A stiffer-than-stock nose to accommodate my stout 220 lbs. Really could have used this during the epic snow year last season in the PNW (!), but winter has technically just started, so hopefully it will get lots of use this year as well.
  8. Laxmack, I'm waiting to hear back from LambertoMI, so currently you're second in line.
  9. Selling an Osin 3800 - 169 cm that I bought used here on the forum several years ago as a backup to another 169. Thus I've not used this board at all, and because I have a custom Donek Nomad heading my way any day now, this board will soon become even more redundant. For those not familiar with the Osin/Dynastar 3800, they are really versatile, surfy powder/all-mountain boards. I ride them exclusively with hardboots, but softboots of sufficient size would work as well. The nose is a bit soft, particularly under my 225 lbs, so I always mount the bindings in the rear-most inserts. Overall condition 8.5/10. Edges are good, no cracks in the topsheet, only a couple of very light scratches on the base (which currently has a super-thick coat of storage wax). The nose was apparently cracked and repaired with epoxy when I received the board; oddly, my other 169 had the same exact repair when I got it, so I suspect it was either a manufacturer's defect or some common shipping damage (?). Regardless, the nose damage is merely cosmetic, and has not affected the ride at all on my other 169. Asking $150 + shipping. Prefer Paypal.
  10. Perfectly functional Deeluxe Suzukas (MP 27/299 mm shells) with normal scuffs and scratches that I'm only selling because they've been gathering dust since I made the switch to UPZs a couple of years ago. Includes Intec heels, plus original non-Intec heels and front pads, extra middle straps of varying length. Note: shells only, NO LINERS included. Asking $125 100 USD + shipping. Prefer Paypal.
  11. Should clarify: I'd be happy to trade one for one as well.
  12. Looking to trade two TD3 3-degree cant disks for two 6-degree disks. My disks are in perfectly good condition, just found that 6-degree works better for my UPZ boots on the front.
  13. Bomber BTS kit with blue springs (medium). Only selling because I've made the switch from Deeluxe to UPZ boots, thus no longer need. $75 USD plus shipping. Prefer Paypal. If interested, please PM me on this forum. Thanks.
