I'm so used to other forums/Facebook etc... I'm waiting for some one to chime in with 15/-15 at 25.5" stance width. Sorry just what came to mind after a libtech forum where tuning is non existent and magnetraction/rocker is king
"You carve, you carve, you carve, you carve. No slide. Even if it's icy!" My vintage wear ends at a burton universe coat. But I have a nice M6 with 3 straps I might have to break out
So it looks like we will be meeting with Henry Hester! Stoked! What a legend! Looking forward to it. Friday at Mammoth/Saturday at June/Sunday back at Mammoth
Clipped in vs. buckled in... Being confident on the one foot (pillar) is not easy but helps getting off the lift. The hard thing for me is loose boot syndrome. Boots loose/no control. Tripled effect with a plate on the board.
Exactly what Billy said. My real introduction to alpine besides my kemper aggressor was on cut off tail Emma peels. We rode the crap out of those up at Crystal Mountain. Symmetrical wide carving boards
Henry. Come up to Mammoth/June for MLK weekend. (Next weekend) Talk to Carlo and Brooke on coming up too. We can ride. It will be fun. Bryan was spot on. Stomp pads are your friend.
Riders like Ryan are an inspiration. I know bomber is and has been the place to go for all things Hardboot but they also provide fantastic softboot products as well. I'm hoping Ryan will be at ATC this year as I don't want to be the only guy mixing up my softboot gear and Hardboot gear at any given time. I am seriously asking Jim and Angie to perhaps expand the TD line into a softboot binding that replaces the power plate base. Catek left a huge hole for aggressive softboot carvers and now more than ever is there a resurgence in the force. The mass production guys have left us behind. (Flow Nx2 have a minimal heel cup and reduces drag in deep heel sides btw but they are not willing to go outside the box, although rebranding next season under the bent metal name) We have been Frankenstein-binding makers for years and there is a need for something better. Looking forward to some hot laps in the cold temps with everyone!
I like the cereal box method.
Equal toe and heel distances from edge using a right angle (cereal box) equal overhang or underhand. Better to look down midline of the board. Looks like you got the other fc wide 167. Really fun board. I'm heading up this weekend to big bear with the kids. Room in the mini van. Leaving from Torrance. Hit me up at felicelance at gmail dot com
June weds and Thursday with 2stroke. Saw Dave this morning at mammy. Lookers right stump alley was all time this morning before we left at 10 am. It was hard to leave...
