  1. After listening to a later CD from this band for the last X years, last week I purchased their 3 first CD's. Here is one of my favorites from their first album Ferment
  2. Well not a board, but definitely bent. It bent outwards, disengaging my fintec heel. I managed to kick it back into place using the heel of the boot, so I could get engage the heel and get down the mountain. Guess I'll be packing a spare receiver from now on.
  3. I didn't hear back from the potential buyer again, so I am opening these up to buyers again. Bindings are now wrapped/boxed up with the more modern heels bails included only.
  4. That's a tasty looking Coiler 196 oldsnowboards. It looks like it has a decent amount of sidecut. Big stiff boards are out there, the tricky thing is to get the owners to part with them. I have a couple (190 Prior and a 197 Burner), neither for sale yet. Paul
  5. Kurt, Pop me the photos I requested, and we'll see if we can work something out. Thanks, Paul
  6. Edge of the World called me back and said they could do it, and had the store open Weds-Sat I believe. I did drive through the Banner Elk area last weekend and noticed that most stores were closed, with signs saying opening in June time-frame.
  7. A ski buddy of mine told me that the snowboarders like to take their boards up onto the podium. He's certainly right, as evidenced by the photos at http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?37314-USASA-Nationals-a-Huge-Success We brain-stormed why - sponsorships, endorsement deals. Shop or local hill deals. Genuine happiness with the product from the manufacturer. Popularizing the alpine sport. Those were my guesses. Why do folks take their boards up onto the podium, though? P
  8. Want to buy 1 near new Bomber boiler plate (4mm or 5mm). Must be virtually new, will need photos of top/bottom. I need the whole package (plate and hardware).
  9. Has anyone double-stacked a plate? One plate on top of another. Just curious what that would yield.
  10. I searched 'catek'. I got 7 pages of hits. I'd say we are back in business :-). Thanks for making it work again.
  11. I left Edge of the World and Extreme messages this morning. I'll report back with any info.
  12. What are my options for the NC or nearby area for getting a stonegrind (getting base structure cut into the board). Here's the accumulated wisdom so far :- - Alpine Ski Center - Raleigh. No stonegrinds. Belt sand only. - Extreme - Banner Elk. They have a machine which can do it. Have not found any reviews of work - Edge of the World - Banner Elk. Not sure, but I recall they said they have a machine. - Ski Tennis Station Winston Salem - allegedly do do stonegrinds. Have not found any reviews of work - Mail order - skimd. Superb. Any wisdom out there?
  13. Bindings still available. Lowering price to $140 + shipping. Reid suggested that I mention that they are solid bindings for a good price and fit Burton.
  14. I resemble that remark. Earlier this season I was super envious of the Donek and Bomber teams hitting A basin and such. Seems like down here in Possum Pouch we had to wait until January before there was enough coverage and then it was all done by the 3rd week of March (sloppy and wet as it was). I placated myself with 2 week(ish) long trips out West to Colorado which helped ease the pain a lot. This year I did a few races which is always a good thing to commit to, as it assures that you get your butt up to the mountain instead of sitting on the sofa reviewing snowpack levels on the web and double-guessing what you should be doing. Two core shots to the gear this year - first year that's happened, but maybe one of my bigger seasons (except for my first where I lived within 2 hours of the Alps). Now it's all over, and it's 70 degrees, and all I'm doing is watching the classifieds waiting for racers to unload their gear and thinking about kayaking, windsurfing and mountain biking. The antidote to your issues is to move out West. NC, PA, they aren't much better than one another for snow sports.
  15. I just received feedback from SG snowboards on this also, echoing what Mclank already said :- "the 2011/12 production boards do not have the centered inserts any more.Our riders in Worldcup who use VIST plates never used the centered inserts for mounting the Vist, the Vist is only fixed at both ends and not sideways. .. SG SNOWBOARDS. "
  16. Some podium pics from the mens 45-49 snowboard category - https://picasaweb.google.com/117777209934735506485/Podiumpictures
  17. Incidentally, I'm not offering step in parts for these bindings. Standard only.
