Sorry, just picked up another pair locally!
-
Sending PM shortly. Live in Rochester, so hoping to pick up in person.

Any chance you have the mondo size on the women's boots?
Thanks!
-
I realize that. I didn't know if it'd work with td3, and was hoping to share with others that it's fine if they were curious.

Black disc has a thinner profile than red but still works perfectly well with TD3. Super communication, managed to connect in person for sale. Thanks!

The listing is from 2020...

Ha! Well, next year. I help run our school ski club so I'm there Saturdays for the six weeks from Christmas break to Feb break. 9 times out of 10 I could use another chaperone to help me make sure kids are safe on my favorite carving areas... with my chaperone passes.

I definitely don't always ride shoulders in line. It depends on what I'm trying to accomplish. The PureBoarding guys like massive rotation from what I recall of a clinic. Some people like to have rigidly locked boots, others ride in "walk" mode. Once upon a time I rode with knees jammed together, now they're neutral.
Unless you're trying to get into racing, do some experimentation because it's an art. Watch some carving videos and try something new each time.
Knowing *how* to snowboard, you'll have an easy transition.

Looking at hitting one mountain over Feb break, and I'm curious about your opinion in terms of how good carving can be, how crowded, and just general preference.

Guy behind me yesterday must have noticed the Rev180 and 60 degree angles. Made a phone call I guess. "Dude, I'm behind a thing that looks like a snowboard but it's not a snowboard!" I just kind of shrug my shoulders at those.
Next run I had a person in the line next to me say "wow, a Donek! I have one too, but don't have the bombers."
Never know what you'll get.

Thanks both of you for photos and feedback! Not sure I want to dremel out the base plate, would still like to be able to switch back to standard if I wanted in the future. I'll keep looking at the parts, will start by ordering the heel kit and work from there.
Thanks again!

Have standard TD3 pre-Gumbo. Recently picked up a used board with F2 step in bindings. Figured I'd give Intec a shot, and now I'm curious about switching my standards to step-ins and not have to worry about changing heels or boots.
Has anyone made this conversion? I tried searching but after various iterations I don't see it.
I see that BOL has a TD3 Upper Kit (https://www.bomberonline.com/TD3-Upper-Kit_p_34.html) at $200. Looking at it, I don't see why I need sole blocks and lugs, just the bail. Plus the heel receiver. Is that toe block the same as the standard heel receiver? Don't I just need to pull off the block shaped heel bail and insert a rounded toe bail (https://www.bomberonline.com/Trench-Digger-Bail-_p_24.html)? I would need 2 of these at $12. Plus the heel replacement kit (https://www.bomberonline.com/TD3-Step-in-Heel-Replacement-Kit_p_30.html).
What am I missing? Do I need the $200 kit when I can just get the bails and heel replacement for a total of $89?

Great business w seller. Board in great shape exactly as described and packaged bulletproof.

Black Friday deal. I pulled the trigger on an XR. I figure it's worth it, being able to ride all year. Pavement near me is spotty, so riding my longboard isn't as much fun. I'm super excited!

Backhill, Cruise, Kelley Extreme, PJ7 (the first one), Mystery. Those were the days, saving up from mowing lawns, driving up to the factory before the catalog even showed up. I even remember when they debuted the disc system, if you wrote him a letter with the calculation of possible stances they sent a handmade necklace of twine and a slice of a branch with a B burned on it.
I'm still hanging on to my Alp 7.1 and ride it when I am looking to goof around.
Thanks Jake.

Gorgeous view! Thanks for the input. I was definitely leaning toward xr, as most of my intended rides are packed dirt or grass and the pint just seemed like not enough deck. I'm 6'4, 185, size 11ish and I worried about squirrelly nature of the pint.
I keep checking their site for black Friday announcements.. but figure if I dropped 1200 on a donek, what, 300 on td3s, same on boots, sometimes a lift ticket, I can sure justify 2000 on a summer board. Just wanted to be sure I'm getting the right one. Been watching videos for years, it's time to pull the trigger.

Considering one of these, if the black Friday deal looks good. Anybody with experience able to compare xr and pint?
I know neither will be the same as laying down a carve, but is one closer to it? Any input about what you would choose, ignoring the cost difference?

Thank you for getting this forum back up and running, and Corey for getting the alternative running to keep us together!

Yes please! I've been scouring for a good carving learning board for my son in the 155-165 range but can't drop multiple hundreds. He can't handle my 17x's.

Go Bruce with the ingenuity!

Briefly, as a fellow east coaster, I found the Rev far more suited to me than the proteus. Variable scr, more stable. I kept getting back on the 180 (11.5-20?). Felt like I was going over the nose of the 168, 185 was giant sized, 170 too soft, 175 was fair.
Btw, I'm 180, 6'4. The Rev and I enjoyed long strolls through the meadow and quick cuts through the narrows. Match made in heaven.
