  1. @softbootsurfer Thanks! This year is pretty bad @Shred Gruumer Almost!
  2. We always need a lot of power on the edge Enjoy!
  3. I have a feeling that the Vision model will be „enough“ for me, but up until now I have ridden the WC version the most.
  4. I don‘t think that the different Allflex plates have different heights. So the Sinline should be lower. I remember that the weights differed quite a lot between the Allflex plates from different production years (because of stability issues). So comparing weights will be somewhat difficult. The Sinline definitely feels lighter, but that is certainly because of other factors (less torsionally rigidity) as well. I understand your question about the affiliation. But I arrived at these companies (Oxess and Sinline) AFTER a long process of testing and comparing. Only after I decided that these companies make the best available gear for my riding style, I contacted them and asked for their support. I am not advertising here as that would not help the community. These are my honest opinions. They might change over time, but for now that is the status quo. I wrote this review just because some members were asking for it. The insert pattern is the same as Allflex.
  5. Background info: After riding most of the major plate systems myself (Vist, Kessler, Apex, Bomber, SG, Allflex), I came to the conclusion that the advantages outweigh the negatives, so it was plates for me. But I never liked the isolating part of the plates (think about the 5mm Bomber plate or the SG plate as extreme examples). I wanted my plate to be low to the board, light weight and it should provide as much board feel as possible. Sinline: When I first stepped on the original version of the Sinline plate (see picture), I thought I was riding no plate at all and I instantly loved the feeling when riding. This plate looked great, had a solid build, great hinge mechanisms, had a low stack height and a low weight and provided excellent board feel. Coming from different Allflex plates, you could feel that you lose a bit of stability, which wasn’t a real issue for me. Still I was curious about the World Cup version of the Sinline plate (see picture). And just as I had imagined, the WC version offered more stability and power, but still kept most of the advantages of the original Sinline plate. This year they added the Vision model (see picture). It is positioned between the other two models and does a great job as well. A little less torsional stiffness than the World Cup version allows you to react very fast and have a super fast turn initiation. All plates come in different flex variations. I ride all my models in flex M (I am around 75kg). I am not a racer, but the plate made a medal in the last Olympics, so I guess it works for racing as well . Original: World Cup: old and new version. The new version has a different spring mechanism, different cut and fewer parts for assembling. Vision: You can check more details on their website. https://sinline.si Have great season!
  6. @dredman That is very kind of you!
  7. @softbootsurfer Thank you so much! Merry Christmas! @inkaholic #boarderlife
  8. A kind of Christmas special . I hope you guys like it!
  9. @softbootsurfer Thanks for the nice words! @Kneel I will try my best this season. (You can remember me again if it takes too long for you! )
  10. Thank you! It is a lot of work, but I enjoy the challenge Moon and Carve is a cool event, but quite far off for me. I won‘t be there unfortunately.
  11. @pmorita Thanks! I try to get some colors in for every taste @inkaholic Fakie/Switch is so much fun, no matter the equipment @ZenBoardn Thank you so much!
  12. New season, new video I just put my latest video online. I hope you enjoy watching. Let‘s hope for another great season!
  13. Whenever I destroy a camera, two new ones show up. It is a living hell out there
  14. Hello! I hope all of you are having an awesome season. Here is a new clip about the work on the edge
  15. Hi snowboard enthusiasts! I have another clip for you! This time I had professional help behind the camera. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching!
  16. Thank you! You know, I was really surprised. It is a completely different shell material - thicker, more pliable, more rubber like (if that makes sense) - but it is not much softer than the standard Mountain Slope. It feels different, but with similar performance results. I REALLY liked it! Not enough to switch (I think the MS is still a bit more reactive), but I would have no problem riding that boot!
  17. I was testing the S5 boots from a friend
  18. Hello fellow carvers! New season, new video. To get us into the mood. I hope you enjoy it!
  19. Thanks for the info! These settings are pretty well hidden in my GoPro But they are there!
