  1. I just went thru Exact Situation last two seasons, 26 mondo, 26 cm waist; my carve angles 60/55, AllMt/Pow angles 50/40, hardboots for all. I never found a solution to mitigate underhang for my beautiful Prior Swallowtail 26+ waist, so finally decided to order custom 22cm waist DayDreamer from Winterstick. Thirst PC PCj are two other great options. I know, Not a great answer, expensive answer, but same realities as having optimum waist width for carving ‘boards.
  2. First: remove boot hinge/cant screws and boot cuff. no hammer. but, sounds like you hammered success.
  3. with steeper angles, narrow boards, ie: 65/60, 60/60, 60/55, I tinker more with toe-raise & heel-lift, minimal inward canting. opposite w shallower angles, wider board, ie: 50/45 45/45 or 45/40, I think more about inWard canting w stance width. It All needs to feel neutral and comfortable when locked in, on the carpet. the older I get, the more I try shit that feels better and works, even though it used to be wrong ; )
  4. Pretty sure there are different versions for UPZ or Deeluxe. Does this set fit both boot brands? They look UPZ Style to me with the 90° step lip at bottom vs horizontal pin (deeluxe).
  5. TARGHEE IS PRIMO RIGHT NOW FEB ‘24
  6. 172.2 MCC (queso, quasi, something! w ptex topsheet)
  7. Can Do, Will Do overall, small resort w mainly blue runs, we’ve been getting 2-6” every week and temps staying below freezing. Targhee’s nickname is Grand Foggy, top 1/3 is vertigo foogy often; but when sunny, spectacular. More Pics Vid to follow…
  8. c’mon down. you reg or goofy? If goofy, bring your thirst quiver!! snow has been decent all season, and very good now after last weeks hit.
  9. I might consider selling my Donek Pulse Secret, 170, 18cm waist, 9-13 vsr (2022). Sent You PM.
  10. ‘Targhee cord’ is primo, and will be all month+
  11. sounds good. they’re not listed for sale anywhere; I’ll hold until you decide. yes, small box…the actual rcr box kit box.
  12. short answer: dgss has longer springs; more room to play & adj preload and still have range adj. similar to finding/adjusting the right bushings for skateboarding or longboarding; dialing in the suspension fork / shock on mt bike. I do have silver/stiff tongues (not thick gray) which probably accounts for 80% of feel and function I want. Spring system is more secondary and adjustable for snow (my mood) conditions.
  13. The DGSS will be about $175 total, door to door from Italy. I have DGSS on my RCR’s and really like’em. I have BTS on my Deeluxe 325’s. DGSS’ are quiet! If you’re in a hurry or on a budget, I can sell you UPZ RCR BOX Spring Kit (complete, w spring options) for $90+ship (from Idaho). AND what JBurk said, Tongues probably better for stiffness increase. A spring system is great for smooth consistent resistant flexing, and a little increase range of flex.
  14. ️ hell yeh! great footage, fellas. thnx.
  15. that’s all it took! Walker at Bomber sold me just the parts I wanted.
  16. Great Graphics. and it answers the lift-line question, “what is that ?” !! Looking forward to review of the 174 / comparison to 185.
  17. Looking for (1) SideWinder finTec step-in Heel, yellow pads. Emailed/Called GUMBO BOMBER, and Walker sold individual SW parts.
  18. ..did you check out the DayDreamer? I heard Seth rides this a lot or at least w new snow, the pow & carve days.
  19. For anyone coming to the Tetons to carve ‘Targhee, know that there is a local lone wolf who would like to connect, ride a chair, buy a ‘round. Feb 5th update: recent snow and currently snowing daily 2-6”, the Ghee is full tilt primo from groomers to off piste, everything is open.
  20. FG Plate just posted for sale by: “thedarkknight” 1/7/24. Ask about hardware/screws, I do not see’em in pics.
  21. lebogilles, thnx for update, was not expecting that! so sad. godspeed, Dan. great idea, slabber. I second any gesture as a group.
  22. mellowjonny, true-the Ghee is doing all right-I would have seen you up there, but I was out of town; maintaining my lone wolf status! @8” in last 48hrs, the ‘roy will be primo for the next week. Luv Blackfoot, lower chief joe, banked arcs. gimme a shout next time you’re here. me+3 will be in SV end of Feb for a week.
