Keep your snowboard away from that bindings If you go step in...buy intecs.

I have no experiences, but my colleagues said it is very good. Unfortunately, Elan doesn`t produce alpine boards under their trade mark any more, therefore it is very hard to get brand new Ballistic. They say market is to small, and I agree with this. However, Elan still makes boards for Sigi Grabner and few other brands.

New SG Fullrace also don`t come with much camber. Because of Titanal, because of racing construction...or something else....I don`t know. Anyway...it rides great.

I really enjoy riding my new Full race .75 metal board. Although it is meant to be a competition board, it works great for carving. It is somehow different, but on the ice...it is amazing. Maybe a recommendation for you, Erik :)

I use Swix products. -T0106X file with file guide side edge 2°. -base edge guide 0,3° -TAA600 diamond stone to polish the edges.

I have finally tested my new metal SG Fullrace 175 this weekend. I really like it. Awesome board!

text1230: Of course the plates are meant to dampen the board, so as you said, I could use standard bails. But I want to have board under control as much as possible that is why I will use Intec. You can read this on Vist web page: Easiness in skiing and curving Better distribution of forces on the snowboard Better vibrations absorption Better snowboard lead All they are saying sounds great and is well known to me from plates for carving skis. There are not a lot of people who experienced the plates on snowboard...looks like I will take a risk :)

Hi, I have still not decided to invest in Vist plate system or not. I`ve heard positive things from competitors, but I do not compete;) I would use it on SG GS board, titanium construction, 175cm lenght, radius 15,3 m - bindings F2 Intec titanium. So, anyone here with freecarving experiences on this plates? Please, share it with me here. Thanks. http://www.vist.it/snowboard.dhtml

one of those beauties is already on the way to me. Fullrace T.75:D
