  1. 168 to 173 length 22 to 22.5 waist 12/13 variable scr to 13/14 Super pumped to ride it but I'm at military training till xmas.
  2. After riding my 1st ECVC from Bruce last year I decided on a little longer, a little wider, a little more SCR. Can't wait to ride her hard over Xmas. Should make for longer, faster laid out carves! Can't say enough about the work Bruce puts into his boards especially when you're a picky bastard like me about colors and graphics. His new software really helps with those hard bright colors and cleaned up the darks. And a special shout out to my buddy Nico Plouffe for creating the awesome graphics for me again. Nic and Bruce work together quite a bit. So you can't beat their combo. Last year's model with the skulls, this year with the flames.
  3. Can't wait to spend my money!! Maybe an EC bumper sticker with a silhouette like this. ?
  4. I love riding my streetbike and dirtbike. Just hate the weather. I'm a wouss and only like riding when I don't get swamp ass. Haha.
  5. So I've googled extreme or carving stickers but nothing I like. Just generic surfing kind. Anyone seen any cool ones? I think we need an AlpineSnowboarder.com bumper sticker!
  6. No shit. Felt like the summer was 85 and humid all summer. I need some cold weather.
  7. Sorry that my answers may not be very good as these were my 1st heat moldable pair. 1. They were pretty snug on the feet then they fit good after the heat molding. 2. Warmth was good and the comfort was good except I have tailors bunions so I wanted to try something with a little more volume. These are medium. 3. I'm selling them cause I bought Intuition liners because I wanted a wrap instead of a tongue. 4. I don't know how all the Intuitions are but I would say they aren't on par. I'd sell mine for 100. 150 was too high.
  8. These liners were used 8 times this past season. Heat molded once. All heel hooks and other adjustment pads are included. These were in my 28.5 mp. Shows 9 1/2 on liner. One set of hooks are in the right liner already. $50 obo plus shipping. Let me know if I'm outta line with the cost. Also, I'll send pics if interested. Too small of an attachment allowance even with compression.
  9. Woops, accidental double post. Where's the delete button?
  10. Got lucky with one of Bruce's last boards of the year. My first new carving board in 22 years which some may have read in my posts on what to get. So I went from a 96 Burton asym FP to a Coiler ECVC. Story has it I'll be blown away and I'll find out on this up coming Monday at Lutsen Mtns in MN. So I wanna say thanks to Bruce for killing himself to get it done before my big trip. He was doing double time due to a shoulder injury and dealing with knee pain. And a special thanks goes to one of our own, Technick, who has helped me out significantly in almost every question and decision I've made in my whole process, from boots, to bindings, to board model, and to getting it all setup. And I can't thank him enough for creating the badass graphics I had put on the board. So if you need graphics done, I highly recommend PMing him for his service. Plus, he works with Bruce so no additional cost for an "outside graphics designer"! So now it's time to figure out this whole EC thing.
  11. I got em boxed and ready to be shipped. The guy who is buying them is on old snowboard.
  12. So I got a guy interested in my old gloves for a small museum he has displaying Burton stuff. They're about 22 years old. They've been in a box for 20 years so it would be cool to go somewhere appreciated like this. What does everyone think they're fairly worth?
  13. Cool, thanks. I kinda figured they were already set at max flex but wanted to male sure. Aracan, I'm 210 so we'll see how the flex is. Fingers crossed it's just right.
  14. I have new UPZ RC10s and am wondering which way is softer and which is harder? Is it like lefty loosy, righty tighty? 1st ride is today and I've turned em both ways but I can't really tell the difference in my living room. How do you adjust the forward flex bottom bolt cause I couldn't fit a wrench in there. If I want more flex/travel, do I just have to get the ACSS system cause I'd prefer to just make these work? I've heard too, to just ride in walk mode for EC.
  15. Kinda lame question but, ha anybody used the DaKine Covert leash with their hardboots? Or is it just made for laces of a softboot? Otherwise, I'm just gonna get a regular F2 elastic leash and call it good. https://www.dakine.com/en-us/sport/snow/accessories/covert-leash?source=search&utm_source=google_shopping&m=configurable_scp&gclid=Cj0KCQiAlpDQBRDmARIsAAW6-DOQYrOigLGmfU3yqVg5QchDzcfJFZx4lA-X5shLwR9vM1_9mvlq1cMaAqVrEALw_wcB Also, anyone know where I could get one of the adjustable Bomber board bags? It's nice that it's adjustable plus not too expensive. Or suggestions are cool too. My current bag is overloaded already with 2 boards and 2 pair of boots. Need one for the new Coiler.
  16. Well I have a few things in mind. And already have pics/graphics I've pulled from the internet. How much do you charge? I'd have to of course talk to you off of Bomber. But that'll take time off of Bruce's hands.
  17. Thanks guys. Now the final decision will be my graphic design. But that's all on me. :)
  18. Well, that's an answer I was looking for, haha. Are you running the Intec Titanium or RS? I've been told I need the Titanium due to my 205 lbs which totally makes sense because of the plastic RS. Is the heel/toe lift an adjustment within the binding itself or would I need to purchase the heel/toe lift kit? This may also help with my UPZ boots having the supposed higher heel ramp. I don't need burned out quads midday. Also, I've read that I should definitely get the FinTec heels vs the F2s due to durability and reliability? ie. the F2 Intec heels have more of a tendency to stick. However, with Bomber's current situation I'd have to find them elsewhere.
  19. Haha, Oh, I'm sure that would be the case. Let's hope I don't suck at it.
  20. Well, my board will be ready mid to late Jan so I'll keep everyone posted. I'm gonna "attempt" EC on my Prime with the new boots and modified binding settings/stance and see where that gets me until mine is done. What are opinions on Carve Co Speed binding vs F2 Titanium Race binding? I'd at least be able to convert the F2 to Intecs at some point if I choose to. Then if I just can't EC as well then I'll switch em back to regular bail.
  21. Well, the big thing for me is the versatility AND be able lay hooked up on rails EC. So it sounds like I should just run with the EC and be happier than a pig in s!#t. Just from watching the video under the EC on the Coiler website (quick edge to edge, riding all over, and tight as well as wide EC) sounds like it's the one I need. Corey, what are you running for SCR? Bruce says the 12/13 works well on the 168.
  22. So now I'm on Bruce's waiting list to get a Coiler. I'm trying to decide between an EC and Stubby. Versatility is important but I really wanna lock in the Extreme Carving. From what I've read both are excellent. And from descriptions the Stubby is just the older version of EC with more upturned nose. And the EC can be a versatile board also. I've decided to keep my Prime (for now) in case I wanna ride a board with lower scr for tighter turns. I have no doubt I'll be satisfied with both but has anyone really ridden both (even back to back) for a comparison? I've read the Kipstars Stubby review and others EC reviews on how versatile it actually is.
  23. I'd be up for that. Only being a member the last 2-3 years...the site, the members, and the knowledge is invaluable. To lose the Bomber equipment is one thing but to lose this forum and community would be a big dagger in our niche market. And I really hope everyone gets their money back or their orders fulfilled. I don't know them but regardless of your situation, we all deserve some sort of reply. Just fading away into wherever is not acceptable.
