  1. Excellent I'll be back in Flag after x-mas . I got my new Donek on Thursday, when my new boot& bindings arrive i will be @ the Bowl to dial in my set up. I'll keep an eye out for fellow carvers while I get my legs up & runnin.
  2. awful lonely on this side of the map. snow bowl has snow making & a brand new high speed 6 lift . come & check it out. black to blue carving on narrow runs, what else ya need to get the blood boiling.
  3. three in flagstaff that I know of Bill ,Scott,Robert , Also Serge in the phx area. come up to snow bowl some time its always a pleasure to carve with Az locals.. Bill
  4. sent you a pm you not get it?I had to buy new . shipping from switzerland to lengthy/costly
  5. I'll take a pair with assorted cant/wedges. how to pay?
  6. Digger that would be great I sent you a message.
  7. Help , I broke my td3 base plate , now I am in need of a replacement plate to finish out the season .td2 or td3
  8. This is the 3rd season of hard riding with this set of td3s . close to 150 days on this set. 2 days prior to the above pics these binders were on top of my main whip , af plate /163 rev with bomber bp 3 degree cants . very rapid fire turning. what you see in pics is the second board kit that stays mounted on the 185, there has never been a screw in that hole , its just a smudge. We have a very high volcanic cinder dust content in the snow here at my local area it really degrades the td3 Bling. I have to say this is might be a "one size fits all " issue that affects the large footed rider..
  9. Here is some close up shots .The inboard threads for the toe block may be the issue . Lowrider I think the same thing would happen to the heel piece if the base plate was rotated 180 degrees. I read this thread when it was first posted & inspected my base plates but found no visible fractures. 10 carving days later Im laying a heelside carve, got a knee wobble ,looked down, and my toe block flew off!
  10. happened yesterday , I'm also in the over 200lb club. any one have an idea on where to get parts?
  11. those lines look great, good links , try to get some video! scrubbing your speed doesnt need to be pretty just do it . pointing the fall line is easier once you accept it.
  12. used once 35$ shipped lower 48 possibly trade for one 0degree td-3 cant plate shipped to me pay pal
  13. Id recommend getting some body armour
  14. sorry I dont want to offend or jinx anyone ,but whenever I hear of soft boot carving all I can think of is when I fractured my talus bone. I guess if your built like fred flintstone or ryan knapton you might ok.
  15. Tim, I had those binders , I had to make safety straps that went around the boot to keep them from popping open heelside. Im 200lbs , ride around 50-60days in a season , I found out the bails are a little weak & prone to breaking . burton hard boots are going to fit these step in binders better than most other boots . old burton boots will probably need new liners. the alps 3d hole pattern will also limit your option of bindings . alps are a wider carving boards, so depending on your foot size, maybe buy some bomber power plates to use with your soft boot setup? reviving these older set ups can be a little tricky & you might spend more than you want and still not get it up to par. Ideas for a good start ; get a complete tune up, base grind ,edge tune & wax. replace the step in binders with some ibex bindings & use your burton 3d center discs. find some burton hard boots on BOL , if needed put new liners in them. then go ride!
  16. I discovered ice rash on my beer gut & my jacket smells like pine trees
  17. bennet is 5.0 w/ cindrich base ,,,, tracker is 130mm .. bushings on both trucks are set up for a 200lb person...
  18. barely used trucks.. front & rear combo 20$ +ship
  19. fun place.... arrive early the lots can fill up,,they charge for parking so have some small bills ready,, 5 bucks I think..
  20. really....6 degree toe lift? thats to many degrees to roll over imo ... I'd ditch that go to 0/3 degree heel lift & keep leading with your head you will resolve that h.s. b.s.
  21. toes down "rips it" for me!! you can take advantage of the whole range of motion in your calf muscle...A couple clicks of outward cant on both feet created a time warp on hs edge for me... I found that Inward cant & toe lift kinks me up,, over pressuring the boards edge ,, usually well be 4 my weight can properly balance out the desired angulation...
  22. crazy indeed!!! when I see that many peeps on slope, I go home... looks like some gates were set up on another run, maybe try to get some of that action....
  23. Be careful flexion & extension of the foot is complicated... I used to think toe lift was a good thing to flatten out your foot or parallel it to the board... I found that I was wrong! It causes more calf/foot muscle fatigue & foot compression in the boot... neutrality for me is next to zero forward lean a little outward cant with added heel lift... As for my heel wobble on a vsr ; a little outward cant taught me to move my body forward into the correct position and apply pressure vs. remaining centered relying on inward cant to apply the pressure for me... just my opinion
