I was one day riding in one almost empty place in up here, while sun softened the hardpack. The trenches were really deep. Then it got cloudy and the snow froze. I sat down by the lift, eating a snack, while a ski instructor girl came down all white and banged up, clearly frustrated, yelling right in front of me at the liftie nearby, that ""some f* asshole destroyed the slope..."

@Buell, this turned out to be a gem. I played with stance on my Prior, after riding the same for many years. It turned out I was for some weird reason having a bit too much setback. I made the stance lot more aggressive by moving stance 1cm forward, removing toe lift in front, adding heel lift in back and locking my rear UPZ as much forward as possible. And oh boy, it never was so good. I don't need to force it to do anything. It worked before, but I apparently had to use a lot of effort to compensate. Had few days on it now, just came back from a few hours run, and I could throw it around just about any way I wanted. Now it's really just that flipping the board, so effortless, and with consistency all day long. So thanks a lot, because I would have taken ages to figure it out otherwise, and with uncertain result. By the way, this is what's ordered, arriving after summer, just in 180

Thanks for good answer and posting the manual. It seems like it is the 5mm they talk about. Those screws are original, so I assume as long as it's possible to use both lift and cant on same foot, it has to be that way.

Can I ask one more thing within this thread? I have now set up my intec titaniums in a way that I have both heel lift and inwards cant on the backfoot, and plain flat on frontfoot. (this one pair of lift plates and one pair of cant plates came in the package) My issue is that there are the total of 8 screws, from which 2 seem to be short, 4 mid length and 2 longer ones... And while it looks fine everywhere else, those two long screws on the heel back (where it's highest) don't go very deep into the threads. Particularly the one at the highest point goes perhaps some 5-6mm in... It this enough or are there supposed to be any longer screws? I suppose I'd have to get them somewhere else as I don't have any longer ones. Thanks

Ok, thanks, I'll read through the post Corey shared earlier today.

This is really interesting, if you only want the easier getting in and out, is it enough to buy the alternative tongue and strap kit, or do you still need to cut and drill?

Hi, I already mentioned it to Rafal, it's piteraq shop in Oslo, I can really recommend it. http://www.piteraq.no Parkveien shop in centrum, not the one in Sandvika Storsenter. I hope to meet the rest of your team soon

Thanks for the correction, it does make sense, need to load up the brain Saturday morning. 4mm would have been one heck of a metal plate indeed :D I believe it should be a good thing. The prior has a titanal layer as well and I bend it a lot- not sure how thick it is though, but likely thin.

I might actually get the inserts for the very reasons you mention. Seems like the 50€ extra isn't that big of a deal anymore :)

I haven't ordered the extra inserts (yet) and I have so far decided to drop the plate. But I'll still give those inserts a thought. Well, I went for a metal board. It was a combination of all the info around, the little testing, the really good deal, and most importantly, a gut feeling :)

That's interesting and certainly possible. Thanks for the update. What difference does the 4mm titanal make in your deck? I believe it should be good either way. Had a chance to still get this year's deck, but I'd wait a month and only use it 3 days in April, or snatch the new model for same discounted price :)

Final update, decision has been made and 2018/19 SG Full Race 180 is pre-ordered with arrival in October. Guys there say it's improved construction for next year, with thicker titanal plate for better weight transition and vibration dampening. SG team has tested it and it should be one heck of a deck, just not easy to get hands on those test pieces this year. Too bad, but I'm no big fish :) Thanks everyone for all the good input

Hi Jim, Thanks :) I was preparing myself for the same process you described, with the addition of ordering overseas. But went through Intuition website to dealers, was a bit surprised to see Europe and then Norway. That dealer pointed further to few shops, and one happens to be not far from where I work. Pretty lucky there :) I ended up getting Luxury in the low volume variant, pretty thin, yet warm and comfortable liner. Quite tight kind of under or around the bottom of the heels, where I need to use extra pair of soles to keep my heels from falling into that tight bottom. I have generally low volume feet, so the soles help a lot overall. Got the liners heated up and molded on feet, so the fit is great. It feels like whole different boots. Worth the cash for sure.

Found a local shop in Norway with Intuition liners, dropped in today with the shells and after some good deal of testing (even the low volumes are really tight) walked away with heat molded Luxury Low volume with extra soles. Enormous difference and I was already pretty close to tossing the whole boots. All I can say is that I could bang my head against a wall for all the voluntary suffering during those years. For some reason I thought it was supposed to be that way. Well, the most important thing is that those days are now over. Thanks for help

And how much room in the shell do you have without the liner? I'm just curious since I don't have very much at all.
