  1. So I saw Allflex plates and one other one. The mounts seemed a bit more pronounced but that's all I know. They seemed to be mounted to the F2 boards, it seemed. 2nd and 3rd in the women's race had this plate I think. Anyone know what it is?
  2. The top strap has a ratchet to get to the correct size and then a buckle at the back (kind of like a regular hardboot boot buckle). So it can be unbuckled to easily get in and out of the boot without changing the preset size or perhaps at the bottom of each run (like what I do to all my buckles). Then BAM CLICK SMASH retighten at the top of each run and off we goooo
  3. Yeah g style isn't a thing here. Only upz. BUT the g style top 'booster' style strap is by far the best. Going to grab some for myself next season.
  4. I was kind of under that impression as well but in all the years I've been here I've only ever seen a single Oxess board. That was 4 years ago from a guy who was sponsored by Oxess and was a snowboard Cross racer. Most of my Japanese friends I ride with spare no expense on their gear but from what I've seen SG is by far the most popular alpine brand and I'm seeing more and more Gray softboot boards by the day (perhaps I'm just noticing that now I'm interested in picking one up myself and since two of my friends own them I found out). I'm always surprised how little Oxess boards there are around especially since their sale bx boards from Oxess are usually around the 500-800EUR amount, which is kind of 'cheap' compared to the other gear I see around here. Something cool I've noticed though is the number of people I've seen learning to or actually carving well down the slopes. Would probably see a few every chair ride. Some really decent ones who could be mistaken for riding hardboots, also. Spoke to some. Front angles of 40ish and rear of 20ish are not uncommon. Can't get rid of Masahiko's tag in the quote. Just ignore that.
  5. Gray desperado ti type r 166w looks like a legit board. Amazon co jp. Thanks for pointing me toward that. The one I played with briefly had what seemed to be some sort of possibly ptex topsheet. Not sure. But it was heavy and damp and amazing. Didn't notice the weight when on though. Less than my Kessler + apex V2.
  6. Tried a whole heap of different apps for Olympics. 7 sport have coverage of every event that's live. NordVPN. 80bux/24months. Done.
  7. Interesting. I don't have access to try anything but the gray think unfortunately. I think I'll go the wide version and throw a set of flows on them.
  8. Oh and I'll ask him what price he got it for. 8% consumption tax here for locally delivered purchases.
  9. Rode it on plates but the master who it belongs to uses flows on bomber power plates. I'm going to buy one for next season 100%. Might try a pair of those geckos with it. Was super damp and easy to ride/carve all things considered. My first contact with a softboot carve board but here there are a few ogasaka moss and gray boards. And the odd F2 eliminator here n there, not sure if that qualifies.
  10. I think the Americans got upset when some wild man defected and beat them all. So they lobbied and had half the discipline removed. Instead they added another gnarly sweet dude f*** yeah event. Big air.
  11. I'm in for a group buy. I might be able to enquire while I'm still in Japan. 9 days and counting.
  12. The most experienced guy I know has a Gray Desperado Ti Type R. One hella heavy beast and it carves magically. Super damp also. Contemplating picking one up myself. Oh. And he's in Japan. And he's Japanese.
  13. Apex. So it is! Anyone ridden one of their BX boards?
  14. Just watched the seeding and noticed the following boards: SG, Kessler, Oxess and one other mystery board to me, which was by far the most popular board. Anyone know which it is? Seems to come in a black or white top sheet with either black or white graphic on top (inverted to the top sheet colour). The base is black with some sort of graphic at the tip. Looks red and white, possibly a Swiss flag. Tried to take some screenshots but on my phone, these were the best I could manage. They are of the black toosheet version of this board.
  15. Looking for a pair of apex gecko carve
  16. I am interested. Pm sent.
  17. Coiler Nirvana VCam 178 19cm waist 80kg-ish rider, 18 days riding. Wanting to trade for a set of Apex Gecko Free or Cross and shipping costs. That's all.
  18. Just looking for either of these. Got a coiler nirvana 178 willing to trade.
  19. 3 nanometers? That is one tiny wrench you're after.

    I'd prefer solid colour graphics. I also prefer Kessler boards. I don't want to go into this in much detail, I find this an expression of personality and I like these things to be in alignment. You seem to be a bit off topic, though, and I find your recent communication to be quite abusive, actually. I might suggest if you don't have anything constructive to say, you do not contribute to the forum at all. I feel I must reiterate the forum rule to you "#1. Flaming, name-calling, or otherwise abusive behavior is inappropriate and is not within the spirit of this community. Attacking a BomberOnline member on a personal level is not allowed." I made a nice suggestion to help you out because you are obviously less technically inclined regarding the surge in popularity regarding social media and its possibilities to be utilized within a marketing strategy, yet you meet this with a defensive response questioning my character. My offer still stands, if you wish to learn more about social media and online marketing in general start with the link I gave you. I have many more resources at my disposal if you wish to use them.
  21. Wrong on both accounts. 210cm is the size you want. Thank me later.
