well my 192 showed up today. It's in decent shape overall.
I don't if I would call the inserts brass but they are the old screw in type.
-
ok by your descriptiion it is the 00-01.
Is that a good one. who made it? volkl
which core?
which inserts?
-
It is black some flames. says radair.com on the bottom. black bottom.
what year? And what are the official dimensions?
-
most of my comments are, " why are you snowboarding in ski boots"
Then I tell them to look closer and they realise that they aren't ski boots. Most people don't seem to realise that mark fawcett, jasey jay guys like that are riding this gear. But nobody's ever denied that a turn on hard boots looks really fun and cool.
-
ok I didn't know that race plates and soft boot bindings had the same disc.

Can you get ibex with burton three hole?
-
So did some messages get removed from here. I thought there was a post about some snowpro's forsale. was that not allowed
-
I don't understand the increase in width with length. Not everybody who wants a long board has 13 feet.
-
Are these bindings you have new or used?
i haven't found a whole lot of info on snowpro bindings
-
you have some snowpro's for 100 dollars. How exactly does the cant lift work on snowpro's. is it all spacers and what not.

What plate bindings for riding powder on a 192 tanker?
I did want another set of catek's, but having second thoughts. Them being too stiff and do the new cateks spead the forces over wide boards better than the old ones. I'm now worried about vertical delam, am I being paranoid.
I'm wondering if snowpro's would be good light flexible and inexpensive setup.
On a side not I borrowed some td3's from a guy, last spring. His email address didn't get me in contact with him. He hasn't contacted me.
HEY GREG THE RCMP OFFICER FROM NORTH OF PRINCE GEORGE YOU OUT THERE SOMEWHERE

Well being a skier and a snowboarder. I find this bizarre. But I do have issues with "backfoot" snowboard riders who can't turn to save their lives. Going straight out of control and then get mad at me, for actually turning and causing them to narrowly avoid me. This being far worse when i'm on hard boots. On skis I can see enough to avoid the problem. But really on skis I overtake straight line boarders as i'm turning.
What is the current ratio of boarders to skiers down in the states. At my hill it was 75% boarders, but I think it has slipped back some. So needless to say skier only runs in my neck of the woods isn't really an option.
-
Ya exploring big mountains for me is still a skiing thing for me. Sorry guys
My usual riding partner is only a skier. Another guy who I ride with is a hard boot only guy. but getting him to colorado is just ot of the question.
Jackson hole is good to right?
-
If I was to try a trip in the US. Where should I go? Lake Tahoe? If tahoe which hill? Can you ski any resort and stay in the same place the whole time? Or should one move around? Do I want a rental car?
-
I think trying hard boots, is as simple as finding bindings for your freeride deck. Borrowing some ski boots or using your own. This isn't an ideal situation but it works, you should get that railed locked in turn this way.
I did that twice and found that this could be better with proper boots.
But now I ride mostly on my 175 frontier and 181 supermodel. looking back I think the freeride boards will lend themselves better to the longer sole ski boots. I think there are lots of reasons to start a beginner on a freeride board, versus a square rail board.
So for me I'd say that bindings is the missing link for the newbie Hard booter. But with the internet it shouldn't take someone too long to find info and gear.
-
hi scott thanks for the reply, how long do you think the wait is on custom colors? Do I just order the bindings and the custom color separate. Is that how it works?
-
I've got a old pair of catek's, 1999's I think. world cup I think they are called. these new ones look like a huge improvement.
Ya flex would be a good idea, over my old ones that have a 1/2" inch plate.
-
all board sports, has a pair of long plate cateks. 350 USD
I can use the lighter, more flexible short plate. So buying the long plate is a last resort right?
It appears that raceboarding.com or donek is an option. Raceboarding.com refers to having 09 models. or do they just place an order with catek when I place an order. anybody with any experience here. I have read that if I order some from catek I'll be stuck waiting. If I am stuck waiting will it take more than a month. thanks for any advice
-
well prior is out of stock on catek. I'm waiting to hear back from allboardsports.com. starting gate website is ?
-
ya the os2 standard is what I was looking for. I'm 180 lbs with a 27.0 upz boot. I think the short plate is what I need.
-
Is direct currently the only way to buy catek bindings?
-
I'm not sure why this thread bypassed the mountain bike helmets. they are similiar to snowboard and ski helmets.
My friend has skied in giro mad-max 1 for years.
My bike helmet is a mad max 2, It's a little heavier. not sure if i\d want to ski with it or not.

well energyrail
I first used the tag on ebay. It is refering to the first pair skis i bought on there "volkl p40 fl energyrail".
But i figure riding a hardboot board or a good pair of race skis, is like riding an energyrail. Whatever that may be
Only 5 hours from banff. hmm. i'm 9 hours from banff. but only 8 from calgary, if I take a different road.
Oh by the way the town of banff is 45 minutes south of sunshine and louise.
Is anybody from calgary area making the drive?
-
I kind of sort of gathered that. but wasn't sure. How many boarders are planning on making the trip?
