  1. just a thought .. make sure your mounting bolts/screws are not bottoming out in the boards inserts, thin stainless washers may solve your problem.
  2. I will shift the pattern. Upz boots, stiff tongue, both cuffs straight up, occasionally 1 tick fw rear boot. I prefer to ride toes down, 3* heel lift on both binders, some added plantar flexion benefits dorsiflexion - a little inward cant on both binders when riding with the iso-plate , without the plate I prefer no cant .
  3. nice travel,storage or trunk bag, great condition . I have used it for boards up to 185cm long, its heavy duty construction with padding. 50$ plus shipping usa only pp fees covered by seller. email me for pictures @ nitrodubb@gmail.com if interested
  4. yes, shipping to your location would be more than the quoted "shipped price". my bad, I intended the add price for usa buyers only.
  5. I originally thought the flo liners that came with my upz boots were terrible, turns out they were 1 size to small from the factory. I ended up getting a flo liner out of a upz boot 1 size larger & they fit my boots much better. I used my molded insoles & did some easy mods with a little padding over the top of the foot& the shin bone, was very happy after that , no more numb toes, squish or slip. They arent the warmest liners tho, so on cold days I just add a hot hands toe warmer under the boot tongue.
  6. good luck , its a crap shoot once your north of 200lbs, most equipment is rated to 200lbs. inspect your gear & keep a new supply on hand if you wanna ride all out. Im 230 & have snapped td3 bombers in half, bomb proof my ass .
  7. price drop 200 shipped...paypal fees included
  8. I had the same problem& had to ditch those muffin top quitters, deelux & intuitions both packed out fast , especially in stiff boots @240 lbs.
  9. Ive been riding for 28 years & Ive had expensive helmets with & without face guards& still have had concussions. Regardless of the skull/face protection the added weight of a helmet will tweak you neck muscles even in a light crash. A jacket fixed with a roll of padding around you neck will help with whip lash, If your really concerned wear a mouth guard for added security . I used to wear full body armor minus wrist guards with a helmet & still broke the tib fib in my leg in a severe crash, it doesnt matter if you push the speed or not, odds are against you in this sport, do whatever you can to protect your self.
  10. LOL! I thought of you when I posted it up for sale, glad you got it ! Its a beast of a board, I could lick the groom on toe side with that stick!
  11. I went to Eagle point a few years back , they still had some very old grooming machines & some of the best gs carving was had that day, I couldnt believe the solid cuts I was getting . I think the new groom machines are moving to fast & arent heavy enough to dig in & grind the snow up well.
  12. thread solved, thanks nigelc! & others who chimed in to my 5 beer rant Ive ridden a few different style plates, they are nice at isolating rough terrain, enhancing my turns and doubling my riding hours with less fatigue . the newest style plates are way out of my league price wise so I wont comment on them, I only watch the pros battle with them. still curious if there ever will be restrictions to the plates use/design . seems the alpine snowboarder is restricted to a very few disciplines as it is. will focus on new plate tech advantages spoil the race by blowing up the competition with an I phone app for the alpine riderbot ?
  13. when do they swap out the hot dogs for some cream cheese?
