  1. Hubby has been making comments on a particular test board and only discovered the board actually had died as 2 different riders had the exact same problem with the board... These problems didn't exist previously. So, to answer your question... YES!

  2. Oh, it certainly isn't "dying" per se. I just think the crowd is changing a bit. Many riders have the mentality of "I'm too old" due to the old school media, which has always made snowboarding to be something for the 15-25 year old crowd. I've noticed a lot of people who've quit are coming back though. This last season has had more alpine snowboarders than we've seen in years! 

  3. The newest version of F2 TRace is built that way. It is out of the box new and not bent.

    When they switched from 5mm thickness, to 6mm thickness, they made the heel assembly

    a bit longer to make it easier to step into the binding causing this gap which you see on

    the photo. The plastic blue 3D printer version is the one we made to correct this gap

    problem. Instead of having to buy a whole new binding, athletes can just replace the heel

    assembly with the one we created. They are currently in production and will be available

    for sale in May. Many other WC/EC have shown us that they also have the gap with

    UPZ, Burton, Head (We haven't checked any others yet) and have pre-ordered a

    heel assembly from us. I was just wondering if anyone else noticed the indirectness with

    the newer F2 binding. Maybe someone rides with Raichle or Deeluxe and doesn't have

    the gap. We just noticed it very pronounced with the Northwave Point Boots because

    they are the ones we use.

  4. Thanks a lot for your replies everyone!

    My little guy will be turning 5. His shoe size is around 28-29EU (11USA).

    I've seen the Burton kits in stores but was hoping there may be hardboot

    options for kids. Mondo 22 apparently means everything under the sun *lol*
    It mean "Earth" in Italian (had to look it up). I Haven't found the Raichle Boot

    you suggested but I will keep looking. Thanks again!

  5. Hey everyone!

    I just wanted to know if other have noticed the new F2 Titanium Race binding (6mm thick heel assembly)
    is very indirect and has a 4mm gap between the binding and the boot (when partially tightened) and then 
    the binding becomes curved and warped when completely closed. We've noticed this with the Northwave
    and Burton boots and approx. 2-3mm gap with the UPZ boot. We haven't checked with any other brands.
    Does the new F2TR heel assembly fit better with other boots? Let me know... thanks!
    Greetings Jennifer
