Awesome Wolf! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! I would definitely be interested in finding ways to secure the bails. I hate floppy bails! They would be going on a Coiler and or a Thirst.

Pm sent.

They sound great! Does anyone have a pair handy that they could take some pictures of? Mostly how the cant and lift works. I’ve never seen detailed photos of them assembled, only in pieces!

LiquidEarth808 Awesome!! For now I’m running Reichle 124s. I’ll measure them when I get home. That’s a great idea just to be safe due to that fact that I will be at the edge of max length. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated!

Yeah, thanks I’ve noticed. I’m 9-1/2 or 27.5. Look like I’ll be the small.

Good to know, but what a bummer! I was under the impression that they had started back up again.

Looking for a new set of bindings for next year and stumbled across the Catek OS2 recently. Not finding much info, feedback or reviews on them. Mostly people are selling them.... which may not be a good thing?? Would love to get some feedback from people who have ran them or are currently running them. Are they durable, how adjustable are they (cant, lift etc), flex, are parts readily available and most importantly hows Catek’s customer service? Thanks

Are the Short Standard still available?

Received an email from him Last week. He said he’s practicing retirement and gonna be getting serious soon. We are starting to figure out my build.

What insurance company or companies have you used?

I did a snowboard trip this past winter with Alaska Airlines and had 2 of my 4 boards severely damaged. After filing a claim with Alaska Air Central Baggage and waiting six weeks for a decision, here is what I was told! “Unfortunately, some items are more susceptible to damage than others and, therefore, are considered fragile. These items include sports equipment like golf clubs, surfboards, and snowboards. Because of the nature of these items and along with most other airlines, we exclude fragile items from our liability. For this reason, you were appropriately advised that there would be no compensation for the resulting damage to your Snowboards.” Unsatisfied with this decision, I decided to call and find out where on their website it states this. I was directed to this: https://www.alaskaair.com/content/legal/contract-of-carriage/rule-15#checked-and-carry-on-baggage Alaska Airlines Contract of Carriage Rule 15 Acceptance of Baggage. Checked and carry-on baggage Section J “Sporting Equipment” #14 Ski/Snowboards. After checking a few other airlines Contract of Carriage, I discovered they too release themselves of all liability for most all sporting goods including skis and Snowboards. Please cover your Snowboards with some other form of insurance while traveling!! Homeowners, renters, travel etc. I was even told by American Express that, had I paid for my airline ticket with that card they would have covered any and all damages. Unfortunate lesson learned!! I’ll be covering my ass multiple ways in the future. Just wanted to share my experience with you all so nobody else learns the hard way!

Definitely gonna be at Summit tomorrow!

Gonna head up to Summit on 4-9. Anyone wanna get one more day?

Right on!! Glad to see your the one that bought that!! Sounds like a fun board that would work well in SoCal!

Any update? Did you get your boardbags?? If I were you I’d call the airlines and start a claim. They ruined your snowboard vacation, and need to pay for it!! Submit the receipts of the money you spent getting to June Mtn and back. You can’t have a snowboard trip without your gear!! They need to make it right!! Yes I’m a bit bitter, I had two carving boards ruined by Alaskan Air coming home from Montucky Clear Cut. I submitted a claim for replacement value. We’ll see what happens! Good luck! Hope your trip was NOT a total waist.

Yep!!! It’s only good for about the first 2 hrs.

Got a spot in June. This will be my first time working with Bruce, and my first custom board EVER!! Gonna do 2 this summer. A Thirst Superconductor from Mark and a Coiler. The Coiler I’m thinking something around 170 that will crank tight turns on a steeper narrow blue runs (SoCal, Big Bear) but with the capability of opening up and balls to the wall on more open wider runs (Mammoth, Montucky). Other than that I’m gonna let Bruce work his magic and worry about my top sheet graphics!

Wow, what a bitchin looking board!! Congrats! Love where Mark is going with his top sheet designs. Got to meet Mark and ride the Superconductor and the new X at MCC. Took me some time to get use to his boards (I’m a front foot driver) but fell in love with them once I addapted my riding to them! Cant wait to work with him on a build this summer! I think I’m gonna go with the thin pin-stripe lettering and snowflakes like yours, but blue and “Superconductor” in blue along with blue sidewalls. Please give us a review if you make it out before the season ends.

Yeah this adulting thing, and snowboarding is working for me! Gonna have to get it worked out by next season! Not cool!

Nothing prevented me from carving. I ended 90-91 season carving my Burtom Mystery Air and knew I was gonna get on HB the next season. I bought a Kemper Apex 160, and a pair of burton hard boots on blowout during the summer of 91

Michael, I bet that the Big Sky Session would be well worth the trip.

Yeah, there is a good chance as long as my work schedule stays the way it is. Was hoping to get out next week, for the day. Was gonna hit up Mt High East, but if your gonna head up to Summit I’ll man up and do the drive. I’ll keep ya posted.

Yep.... I just got confirmation I’m working the 16-28 of March. Yeah maybe we’ll have to hit Summit. I didn’t see a scheduled closing date on their site. Would love to try to get out towards the end of next week?? With that said it would have to be just for the day, which would mean Mt High East. To do Summit as a day trip is 6 hours in the car for me. Maybe a Carpool with the Santa Clarita Crew?? If you guys are down?

Damn! I’ll do my best to see if I can make 3/15-17 work some how!

What date do they close?
