Not for sale. Just to fuel the stoke. Prior 190cm custom GS. Has almost an inch of camber.

Here you go http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rossi-Varicant-snowboard-plate-bindings-/111021677668 $50 shipped. So, consider that $25 for the bindings and $25 for shipping.

How about scanning craigslist in more remote areas - claz.org.

Have you checked ebay?

How much for just the UPM mounts (all parts except the plate).

Everett - OK, I'll take it. I will shoot you an email.

Everett, "Donek Rev 175 GS board, only about two months of riding and racing on it, still years of life left! Great board, rides exactly the same as my old SG 175, perfect for a lighter weight rider doing GS (younger guys and woman) and just ask Heather Hurd if it gets you on the podium at the Nor-ams and she will tell you yes!" Was the Donek Rev built for you or a certain rider of a particular weight? How much edge is left? How any grinds has it had? Any repair work done on it? Paul

I see what you guys mean. That might work with the length of my leash. I'll report back when I set up a new binding. I bought a bunch of these leashes (like 6 of them), so I don't have any plans to move to a full length leash.

Yeah echo that also. I like the new stop on the TD3's, but something to hold the bail up would be nice; I find that it flips down as I'm trying to get into it.

Not sure how to pass on a pet peeve (cough request for product improvement) I have, so I thought I'd start a new thread. I just about love all of the improvements with the TD3's over the TD2's (such as ability to remove the binding from the board without disassembling it), the improved look of it also. One thing that ticks me off though, is the lack of a good place on the front of the binding to locate a leash. I use a thick Burton leash on all of my boards, a short leash that has a thick cord, and a thumb operated lever that expands a loop that can open/close. It feels secure and clips onto a tiny caribeener on my boot quite quickly. It's not possible to loop this through the front binding, as it's so thick, you end up having to size the binding out one size larger to be able to fit it into the binding, and you get some sloppiness with it done that way. I mean it's possible, just not ideal. On the TD2 binding, I found that I can locate the leash on the base plate, just underneath the front toe block; due to the way the toe block splits down the center there is ample room to be able to attach the leash to the base plate. On the TD3 binding, the toe block's split is no longer there, and the way I have mine set up, the hole in the base plate is covered up by the toe block. Doh! I could run a loop all the way to the heel block I suppose, although I'd rather not do that as it's awkward. How I have it configured at the moment is to disassemble the front bail, and loop the leash into it, and reassemble the bail, so only one line of the leash has to be in there. I then have to ensure that the leash stays down to the corner of the bail, in that small area where there is a gap in the boot/bail/toe block interface. All this got me to thinking, I wonder if the base plate could be made a little larger on one side, so that a place for a drilled out hole to accommodate a leash hole could be engineered. Just on one binding of course :-) Paul

That is cheap. I talked to someone once that liked their technology too. Locally they have the low end rental market sewn up. Perhaps they can sell so many boards they can offer their higher end boards a little cheaper than the competition?

Plate has been sold. Thanks for the various inquiries.

Some ideas to try/think about. - are you on the down-hill edge before you initiate the turn. It's helpful if you are. - get your weight on the downhill edge - for me, I like to hang my butt over the edge of the board - bring your toes up, this will angle your heel edge into the snow and initiate the turn a lot earlier than you would otherwise. - extending your legs mid-turn (after you have started railing the downhill edge will increase your speed coming out of the turn and get the turn performed in a tighter radius, as you'll start bending the board). Read the Norm article if you haven't already, or if the first point I make makes no sense.

It can be tough to get insurance for overseas shipments via USPS also, so look into that.

Can you activate your Bomber email on your profile, then I can send you my email address. I am certainly interested in hearing more.

I downsized two years ago, and it was the best decision I'd made in snowboarding. Do a shell test if you can before you start down this path. I then went with custom formed insoles and zipfit liners. The insoles are great. The zipfits are a mixed blessing. More comfortable than the stock liners, but much harder to get into, as the cork moves around when you are trying to get your feet into the boots. My latest strategy is to take the liners out of the boot, put the boot in walk mode, put liners on feet, then put liners+feet in boot. This works well. I've tried lots of other methods and this works best; and I've chosen to do this rather than revert to the stock liners.

Shorts with D3 elastomer protection. These are so thin, you forget you are wearing them. Wear these occasionally. When racing tall gates:- - Troy Lee designs Full Face helmet - Forearm carbon kevlar strap on pads - shin/knee protectors.

I have purchased a 4mm Boiler plate and a 5mm Boiler plate. The 5mm feels like too much isolation for me; the faster you can run it, the better things get though - I can see it being quite usable out West, or on a large fast race course. I prefer the 4mm plate which seems to have the right amount of flex for me. I weigh 225-230 lbs. I have the 5mm plate listed in the classifieds. Paul

Any resolution? You might want to consider custom insoles and liners. I have both, and now have barely any pain.

Nice!!!

AlpineDad - yes I am. Please PM me the details. Is it the 170cm model?

Thanks tdifan_2003, while that's a nice offer, I can't take you up on it, as I already have one of those. Plate is still available.

More pics. "Interesting" trades considered also.

SOLD - Or will trade the 5mm plate for a 4mm plate. Comes with black stomp pad. Bomber Boiler Plate sticker removed for ultra-stealth look. Boiler Plate sticker included if you wish to revert it back to stock look.
