PSA: found a great little tutorial on proper way to mount Catek bindings.

Don, thanks for mentioning in earlier post about turning Catek plates 45 degree. Okay I'm now officially stoked . . . the OS-2's are now installed on the Volkl monocarver.

Sabestian . . . great, thanks for input! Just installed the Cateks on the monocarver with 3d elastomers.

From reading general carving community forum, the opinions suggest that the OS2 bindings exert substantial "lever" pressure to pull-out inserts or delaminate metal boards. What is the scoop with Catek OS2 bindings?

Don, can you help me out. Like you I also have a Volkl monocarver and a pair of un-installed Catek OS2 which I would like to mount on the Volkl. In a earlier post you mentioned turning Cateks 45 degrees to fit the inserts on the monocarver - yes? Also, the Catek baseplate is wider than the mono, what did you do - cut the Catek baseplate or mount as is with overhang? Any other suggestions to get these puppies on the board would greatly be appreciated - thanks!

Obi, great video, best one yet for newbies like myself to view technique, e.g. bike stance and pull back shoulders upon initiating turns. Comfortable with speed, big problem here (eastern canada) is finding suitable wide terrain. Thanks also for bring the thread back to life.

"Volkl Ren Tiger 168 Giant Slalom Alpine Snowboard. This board is used, but not heavily. It has some wear and tear some from use and some from storage. There is one larger scratch near the tail, but it is not deep. The base is in great shape, the edges are a little rusty, more rusty at the very top of the nose. All this board needs is a tune up from the ski shop and it'll be ready to go. Please email me with any questions. This is a great board for a alpine rider, if you know one please pass this ad along...." Not associated, contact seller directly via craigslist

Translation: "Alpine custom board made ​​by Kessler in 2011, the model currently used in the World Cup. 2 seasons of use, yet full of energy for someone wanting to try a board or top level would start racing. Still a lot of edge! Deal not to be missed" Note: not associated in anyway, contact seller directly from the Kijiji link below: http://tinyurl.com/9j8h8xs
