No Longer For Sale: Intuition LINERS- Power Wrap Plus MP24 - unused These state "POWER WRAP" on the outside by they are the the PLUS model with extra thick cuff. Says $197 USD on the Intuition website. They appear to have been inside a boot shell, but never used. No insoles included. Here is what the Intuition site says about the Plus model: "POWER WRAP PLUS liners are the same thickness through the foot as the original Power Wrap but have an extra thick cuff wrap reinforcement intended to stiffen and fill up over-sized shells, especially for those with narrow heels and thin calves. The high-density, thick, wrap style liner provides maximum stiffness and heel hold, while increasing warmth, comfort and performance. The Power Wrap Plus is a high volume liner and works best with a shell fit* of More than 2 fingers (1½” +) Size up on the half size (ex.: 27.5 = 28) For best results we recommend having these liners heat molded at a shop by a professional bootfitter. Stiffer models require more attention when heated, while others can be easily molded by using the home fit kit." $85 shipped to USA I have more pics if you like. Payment with Paypal F&F or add 3%.

Those are pretty cool and rare in NOS...like a barn find looks to be a mint box too!

Last season I got the most days I ever have by far...likely due to covid since not a lot of other things to do and the kids were at online school so we could go mid week! I bought another IKON base pass for this year for the local hills (Summit, Mammoth June) and a couple of EPIC day passes for a Tahoe trip (Northstar, Heavenly, Kirkwood). In retrospect I felt boarding last year, albeit associated with a few bearable hassles, was covid safe - we didn't do any of the ancillary things - we just boarded hard and it was glorious to get out.

I got a similar note a couple of days ago that read: "Kinsje 0 Started conversation: 9 hours ago I purchased some items from davi754 some days ago and Burton cant puck 4x4 is among the items he showed me that he wanted to part out with. Maybe you should text him to know if it is still available.. Here's his number 6085617362" Definitely fishy now that I hear that you per contacted also. Moderators please investigate and ban if necessary.

SOLD: APEX X Plate 4x4 - SOLD Bought new from i-carve, used for 1.5 seasons lightly. The fit and finish of this unit is superb. It's like a piece of art that rides beautifully and takes out the noise and nails edge hold, I don't feel any loss of snow feel. Gloss top, carbon weave below. The flat end with the "X" points forward! I picked up another and only need one. Light binding marks and light scratches here and there, but no chips or issues. Comes with plate to board mounting hardware. $725 shipped to USA, paypal friends or venmo. RJNakata (art) aol (dart) com

Anyone?

FULLFILLED - WTB: DGSS system for UPZ + red tongues Going on a flex producing program I'm looking for: DGSS for my UPZ's (1 or 2 sets) RED (size small) tongues for UPZ (1 or 2 sets). Thanks! PM me or RJNakata (art) aol (dart) com.

Folks will have suggestions for improvements to fit their own personal needs, and raise CYA issues, but to me this is just incredible. A man had a personal need and just up and built the solution... out of aluminum... with a CNC... from scratch. My hats off to you sir.

Nice! T3 or T4?

I'll write this here from another post: "I have taken to the "buddy system." I use small cheap walkie talkies (Motorola T100) with a button-press beep function (they all have this). I head down a run and my buddy beeps me if a straightliner is coming so I can pull over. I do the same looking up the run for him. I still look up the hill, but the beep has already alerted me to some hill bombers already. It seems to help." I was beeped a couple of times last time I was out. I hadn't see them without it. Oh and for the tik tok, max speed carving in a crowd can have consequences!

Here's a ASB post that jibes with your findings for MP 26. Also here is a mod for smaller boots that achieves more forward bias in TD3 SI's if needed. Instead of Fuego boxes I use a square tool like this: the black part goes under the board (raised on vises) and the relationship between the edge and boot becomes apparent.

Here is an example of F2 Intec RS with MP24 UPZ boots. The overhang of boot toe & heel is equal over the edges using the "Fuego" method. The bindings had to be slightly modded to accomplish this...it does look silly but it is what is required. From the book above: "The 80-20 equation explains why "perfect balance" is our goal. When we say this we are not being "alignment fanatics" or techno geeks"

Correction: the pin spacing of FINTECs and INTECs are identical.
