  1. The short story;  If you are an experienced alpine rider and are interested in trying out a different kind of snowboard binding concept that is built for carving, please PM me so we can set a time to discuss.

     

    The slightly longer story;  I love our sport so very much, but out of frustration, because of shin/leg pain from hardboots, I am attempting to zero-in on a different way to attach yourself to a board.

    At this point, I have a functional binding to be used with normal softboots on either an alpine board or a typical softboot board that you want to really carve on.  (Think old-school 3 strap bindings from the 80s, but with a bit of modification.)  This CNC machined aluminum and stainless steel version was created as a Proof of Concept.  Meaning that it is not pretty, overbuilt for safety, and can be difficult to get strapped into.  It is, however, fully adjustable and will fit most riders/boots/stances/boards (approx. 19 – 25 cm waist). 

    At my age and since my carving skills are maybe a 6 out of 10, I am looking for someone who won’t ride it as gingerly as me, provide some feedback, make some fun turns, etc…  If you are not proficient with hardboots, this thing is not for you.

    I am good with meeting at your mountain, depending on where that is.  I live in Chicago so lots of flights….or I can drive to Midwest destinations…..

    Thank you all.  Jason

  2. Being from the flatlands, these boots have been ridden an estimated 22 days.  I could be off by a couple days one way or the other.  IE; they are in great shape, very minor surface scuffs only really visible with the right light.  All buckles etc..are in perfect working order.  Original liners have been heated twice and are in 7.5 out of 10 shape.  Size mondo 25 (US 7).  PRICE REDUCED TO $200 plus ship.

  6. If it was Olympic Construction it would say it at the bottom of the grey spec box located on the top sheet just to the rear of your rear binding.

    I'm about 220, so if you are riding this at 137 I think it is probably too soft for me. Nice looking board. If you take a picture of the box it would have some more info on the board.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Dave, NOT OLYMPIC CONST then. Regarding stiffness, not really sure. Maybe someone else that has ridden a FCII that weighs a bit more could comment. See pic with specs. Jason.

  7. How stiff is this? Built for what kind of weight range? And is it Olympic Construction and would you ship it to Canada?

    Dave

    Dave, the board seems stiff to me, but i weigh only 137 lbs. I would say that a weight range would depend on how aggressively its ridden. Not really sure. Regarding Olym Const, I dont know.....how would I find that out? I dont mind shipping to Canada....although I dont really know what is involved. Jason.

  8. Dude,

    I have a brand new 05' Burton R17 Addicted (never been ridden). The last alpine board production from Burton. Paid $500. I was keeping this as collectible.

    I also have a pair of used(Good condition) burton race bindings (3D). If you want to trade your whole set with mine, let me know.

    Thanks for the note but I dont think that I can go Burton....the 3D wont interchange with the rest of my gear.

  9. SOLD SOLD i have a Donek FCII that i would like to either sell (NEW ASK $225) or swap for a shorter board. preferably in the 160's size range. Donek info below.

    Donek FCII 167 (aka Freecarve II or 2 or fc2)

    navy blue top sheet

    width = 19.5

    scr = 10.6M

    near perfect shape, ridden roughly 11-12 days. minor scrape on the topsheet near the nose (see pic).

    SELLING WITHOUT BINDINGS

  10. Its called a drill bit. We were doing it years ago. Just use a fat washer and give your self a little wiggle room. Never had any issues:biggthump

    thanks for the replies. the drill bit plan is of course the simplest/quickest/cheapest. i have yet to find someone that actually has knowledge of these specific plates converting.

    Slopestar......, regarding drilling;

    1. of the three holes, two holes line up (well enough) so it requires the drilling of only the two additional holes. correct?

    2. do you recall slightly countersinking the holes on top of the plates? likely not i would guess assuming that there is clearance between the top of the bolts and the bottom of the metal binding framing.

  11. Why did you choose this size and was this board design for you at 137 lbs?

    I'm interested, but I'm about 10 lbs lighter than you are and I'm hesitant if this board isn't working out for you.

    ??? it has to do with my weight and my mediocre skill level. i would say that if you are an experienced rider that is always pushin it, it could be okay.....if not, its likely not the right board for you.
