    i am getting older.  charing hard all day in HB is beyond my physical conditioning.  i will survive but dead after.
    Plus condition isn't always conducive to carving.  i still love powder, little jumps here and there, maybe some trees.

    boot - wide forefeet, narrow heel, big calf
    malamute, ion, Insanos are the typical "stiff"

    accessory:
    strapins

    binding - catek, gumbo Power Plate System, flux, c-10, DIY 3rd strap?

    board:  alloy, Coiler, Donek.  not too worry about board but boot shape and binding

    took me decade+ to kinda dial in HB.
    want to see if we can short circuit for SB.

    or TLDR what's your setup and what are your setup?

    Check out the Alloy Snowboards Darwin's Flow.  This is a toss up for my daily driver.  It is loosely based off of the Alloy DO, a dedicated softboot carver.  It includes some early rise and a pow tail for fresh tracks.  Where do you live in NY?  I have the entire Alloy line up from a few years ago and can get you out on them for a demo.

    So, while all the Pricess Tinyfeets are gathered around gushing and giggling, the clodhoppers among us are scuffing their heels and grousing about feeling left out, as usual...Big Feets Matter!

    What size foot?

    Ah ok. I prefer predictability over pop. I guess I'm out. Thanks for your response, think, it sounds interesting and looks cool. 

    I’d say it’s a predictable pop.  Hit me up at reppiiinsnowllc@gmail.com.  I’ll get a demo out to you when the season comes. Unless you live near a mountain that’s still open.  I can also send you a video review done by Martin Drayton.

    Can I ask what the Chronick Booster metal plate is? Seems interesting!

    The Chronick Booster is a nickel/chrome smelted alloy material.  3 times more pop than ordinary metals.  This is exclusive to Alloy Snowboards.  I just added a photo of the D.O. with a clear top sheet so you can see the two metal strips.

    Stratton is planning to close on April 8th.  I think Alloy is talking to someone in Vancouver about distribution in Canada.  I will see if they have contracted them yet. 

    Alloy did not get a distributor locked in for the 18/19 season in Canada so I will be able to help you out.  I am sending a demo out today.  I will have that sent to you after if you'd like.

    Don,

    Here are some of questions that were from other treads. 

    Folks, if you have questions on D.O., please ask here instead.  I can hardly keep up with all the softboot specific carving snowboard posts in separate threads. (yeah.. too lazy) so that other can find information of the D.O. in one thread. 

     

    Any chance you can make it to Mt Bachelor?

    That's awesome! You know which company in China ordered them?

     

    One of the guys on that racing team got first place in a slalom competition with B-ONE, crazy fast base

    I’ll email the company.  Where are you located?

    Did you say Stratton...  Lets go Geoff, Jack, Kobbe,, Loon Guys...  Bhueler....anyone... someone volunteer  we need to get some good ride reports... 

    Are those that you mentioned in the Stratton area?  There might be some boards available for demo at Stratton.

    Hey Don, yep, I'm in Portland. That could be pretty cool and there might be some other folks interested too. What part of town will you be in? Sat/Sun will probably be good carving on Mt. Hood and I'm planning on heading up Sunday -- any interest? 

    Possibly.  I was planning on Mt Bachelor Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but Wednesday looks like it might rain.  Sunday at Hood might work.  It’ll be a last minute decision so I’ll let you know Saturday.

    D'oh! A number of guys from here will be riding at Bachelor on April 3-7, and would love to demo your boards. Don't suppose there's any chance you'll come back? 

    I wish!  I am not sure how I swung a week away with the wife and no kids!  Do you live in Portland?  If so I will be there Saturday, March 3rd, till sometime the next day.  I will gladly meet you so you can see the DO 161 in person.

    I see your home mountain is Stratton. 

     

    I travel to Albany near the 12th of April. 

    Could maybe meet at Stratton that weekend?  Quite near. Were do you ride?

    Cleveland! game on...ha..kidding of course...

    Impressive,  Now thats a company being transparent....doh!!   Nice work Don!  Let me know on the 165 your thoughts..   Nice eye candy!

    tumblr_o4ry7w1JAx1tjekp2o1_500.gif

    The D.O. 165 is a new size for next year.  I have only been on next years 161.  Hit some pretty high speeds on the 161.  Not a lick of chatter and stayed on line.  I could only imagine that the 165 is even more stable at high speeds.  I am waiting to hear from Alloy about what they will be sending for demo purposes.  I will keep you posted.

    I mostly ride at Stratton.  I could definitely do a weekend around April 12th if they are still open.

    Cool where in NE are you for demos?

    Looks promising but also like Lonbordin it would need for me to run very high angles not to boot out with a 25.8 waist even on a 165cm. Also 29MP. But only 95kg lol.

    The sidecut radius is special. Would love to try it.

     

    Will have in my hands the One B-One shortly and try it. Lighthest board around.

    Where would you like to demo?  I am based in CT but will travel.
