I gotta drill my boot! Seems overly complicated........ Thanks, but I don't think so Anybody know a source available NOW........

Anybody know a source now for new Bomber BTS ?? Thought I saw it mentioned.......

I found it! 50% off Yeah!!

....anybody stayed at the Sierra Lodge? Good ratings, Conti breakfast...and a Hot Tub for $109 !!

Thanks RJ! Anybody remember....what's the Spring day pass cost ...and I remember a further discount because I had a season pass from another resort......

RJ How was the grooming?? Anybody gonna be there this weekend May 5/6 ??

......well were the last man standing in the Tahoe valley, open until May 28th and we got 3 inches last night! It's been a good season, but the usual crowded Squaw and Squaw is proud of their minimal grooming efforts so I never bring out the Coiler or Kessler there......... usually ride the Moss for pow days and the Sword Dual for all other conditions.

Both....well actually three! I get the Ikon as part of work, I buy the Epic and the Boreal Mtn. full pass is only $100 for us over 60 !!

Ah Man!.......it's gonna be a Long summer but understand your plan

JB, Thanks for that Intuition Liner Link! Pricey little buggers! Mike T, You running any BTS with your 425's? ....and if so were they stiff enough that you had to change up your BTS springs? What's your weight/height .......and what board(s) are you using the 425's on?

Yeah........... I'm stil in the stock Deeluxe liners. I've tried the moldable Intuition liners but the "wrap" bothers the front of my leg above the ankle. I guess I'm too old school and and just used to a Tongue! This is the best liner that worked for me...... the Old Standard red and black Deluxe liners?....... There was a whole tub of them at TTC last year!! I think they were used in the demo boots. So yeah, probably ready for an upgrade! ........ but is there a model that isn't a wrap

Hey QQ, I'm with CharlieC on this one! No sure about UPZ's... but switching out "tongues" on Track 700's is not "plug and play" and I would not want to be spending time going back and forth during the season. So, even "simpler" in my opinion............ have another (softer) boot altogether just for your pow setup. My pow specific ride is a Moss PQ60 with Track 325's with TD3 SW SI's with 3/3 cant disks at 55/50 angles (yes I'm a mutant and yes I've tried reducing angles on wide boards to no avail) ......and it will carve and I ride deep open pow or deep tree pow no problem. You speak a lot about your "boot situation".... but no mention of the board your trying to make work with plates and hardboots for pow ?? You could use one setup for everything but some facet of your riding and the board will suffer. It was fun and less to deal with riding the Moss everyday in all conditions but I was beating the crap out of my last Moss using it everyday/everywhere....... and as fun as the Moss is/was to carve and use in the pow there is no substitute for a big carving stick for hard charging carving! So I got more specific: Pow = Moss PQ60 and a softer flex hardboot and lower cants Everyday work conditions, groomer carving to chop and slush = Swoard Dual II 168 Track 700's, TD3 SW SI's 3/6 cants Big GS turns in open terrain carving = Coiler EC SS 177 Track 700's, etc........ Hard charging (turny) carving in tighter and or congested areas = Kessler 168, Track 700's, etc....... It might sound complicated but it has actually streamlined my riding selection..............it's either a pow day (setup) or not and either way it's always a "one set of boots' day! On non pow days I'll usually have a couple of boards along in the car or on the hill and start out on the big GS board when it's less crowded and switch to either the turny Kessler or the All Mtn. Swoard as conditions/crowds and my legs dictate. Hope this helps.................. don't give up on hardboots in the POW!

Yeah...... I've thought about the warmer temps having an effect on the shell and liner. I'm getting a little bit of heel lift that hasn't been there previously and do think I'm getting some pack out in the Liner. Might be time to upgrade the liner also.............

............. I say go shorter when it hits slush time! Out comes the Moss PQ60 and the Moss Squadron ! ..... and with all that Moss setback your a Slush Slayer..... not a back foot rider! Should be a blast no matter what! Post some photos and let us know how the conditions were!!!

OMG! Thank Ya Baby Jesus!....... and Thank You Forrest for this Bomber Resurrection ! I know a lot of us just gave a huge sigh of relief upon reading this! How about some back story to round out this drama ??

.....and were called Gear Heads! Man.... must take a bit to gear up............. or gear down to use the bathroom! He better be careful with those metal edges!

Thanks guys. I'll try the race tongues first.

I've been running Track 700"s for hard charging carving and my white Track 700's (2 seasons old) feel like the shell has.... softened? Anyway had been thinking of getting the newer Black 700's but now thinking maybe the 425's would better suit my needs for pushing the Kessler and save the white 700's for my everyday (non pow - I got a set of the black 325's for that) work boot. So....anybody running the 425 Pros and had the 700's and can report how they compare and your impressions riding both??

F and B What's up...... you posted nothing here and did the same in the Videos forum ?? Almost what?

I messaged the Travis guy about his parts and others he might have milled for Bomber.... but no response!

CZ I don't know of a mm listing, but Isn't mondo in cm's anyway?? if you know your mondo you could convert it or any mondo to mm's 1 cm = 10 mm's

I need a 3 and a 6 degree BP Cant disk and E-Rings and BP Center Disks to fit a Bomber BP 4mm Lite

Just my 0.02 I'm pretty sure Bomber contracted him to machine those and other TD parts..... so not knock off...and more probable left over stock that the Bomber collapse also left the machine shop unpaid. So he's trying to recoup so of his losses also.

Good plan!

Hey JohnE, erazz..... I've tried to soft boot carve the last two seasons and have failed miserably! I really admire You Softboot Carving Guys that can do it!!
