Rusty Edges

Somebody buy this... Save me from myself. (...Must not log in to PayPal...)

That "near miss" at 3:23 made my heart stop for a few beats... Excellent riding!

You can see how "Damp" that Prior BX board is. Nary a chatter...

From the pic above you have plenty of adjustment to go down in boot sizing. With a fair bit of play to work on the bias. You definitely want to change the angle of that binding. The boot out will be horific...

There was few decals back in the day when Burton tried to get/enforce a patent, "Hurtin' on a Burton. You can't patent fun!" Mt Baker was almost devoid of Burton product for quite some time. Then Craig Kelly left Sims for...

Are there dampening pads for beneath the deck plates? Google translate did not do well on the site. While a beautiful piece of engineerng. I fear it may solve a problem that we don't have... US$600. That is cheaper than I expected...

Thanks DaveO. That is a huge SCR for a soft boot carving board!!!

That 178 is interesting. I'm assuming that the radius will be even longer than the 18/19 172. Hopefully not the same jump in radius as between the Desperado IV and V. Has anybody here had experience with these boards for "North American" weight riders? Comparable flex?

Dimensions and model for the Madd? I don't recognize it...

Details on the Madd???

Every knuckle-dragger at my local "bump" should be made to watch this...

Deifnitely on the list for next year... Might have to include a powder board in the quiver. They can't groom all that pow. Can they???

I like that idea for all mountain and powder. Possibly relaxed carving. Now just design a step-in without the lateral rigidity of INTEC/FINTEC and I'll be throwing dollars at them! Kemper boots from the late 80's had this idea. With enough straps and duct tape you could make them work but they didn't last long. The lower shell edge ate liners...

That is a lot of unsupported length on the heel piece fasteners. I would source the highest grade bolts and T-nuts I could find. Possibly going up a size in diameter. Even then I would expect to bend the fasteners with aggressive carving or higher rider wieght. The Intec heels will create a lot of torque.

"Entitled Bratz" We are only here for their amusement...

Onesies are one thing. That is definitely over the line...

My Eyes! The goggles are useless... There's something you can't unsee.

So Corey. Does this mean your MK will be looking for a new home??? (Nudge, nudge) That new Donek looks ready for any condition. I'm assuming the SCR is in the 10+m range.

To quote Anonymous regarding going to Hell... "... You will be too busy shaking hands with Your friends, that you won't have time to worry."

Thanks.

Bump. Anyone Have a set lying around?

Definitely not an all day ride. Great performance on a hard race course but would be hell on all but the most perfectly groomed "Hero" snow. As I get on in years (and size), I enjoy cruising as much as charging every run. I have gone to a much softer settings on my boots, Suzukas with BTS (yellow/blue). I find it much easier to vary the size of a carve and adjust for changing snow conditions with a little more boot flex. My old Raichle 323's that have the cuffs pinned and a locked RAB tend to gather a lot of dust these days. Trenches for All!

Most days I ride alone. It is rare to see another hardboot rider on my local hill.

How many days do I carve in hard boots? All of them.... I only have soft boots for shoveling the driveway and walking the kids to school on a cold morning. LOL Trenches for All!

I agree with most. It wasn't ski season until you saw the latest Warren Miller film. I especially enjoyed the years with Scot Schmidt and Glen Plake. (Steep couloirs on 215 super G skis? Are you insane???) I feel those two paved the way for today's level of extreme skiing and boarding. Heading up today for a few runs, with thoughts of Mr. Miller. Trenches for All!
