    misunderstandings which I will, but shouldn’t, take total blame for

    Its all you. You sold me a board for 550.00. Correct? Then you tell me after I refuse to pay 150.00 for shipping that you don't want to sell board for less than what you put into it. That would be 550.00 Correct? Plus any shipping costs which you never gave me an real quote and continued to request 150.00.

    Buyer Beware!! I have to say this was the worst buy sell experience on this site. I sent Bob the $550.00 for the board and he said his (friend) would deliver to MCC since he wasn't going. Come to find out he kinda knows this guy but not very well. (first red flag) then he wasn't sure Bob could get the board to this so called friend and would ship it instead but wanted 150.00 dollars to cover shipping. Seeing how that was a outrageous amount I refused to prepay that much and should only be around 25-50 dollars to ship from Washington state to Montana through USPS economy. I requested a shipping quote either with USPS or UPS. He said USPS wont let anyone in the building for quotes (fishy) and he would print out one online at home and wont do it without $150.00. Well come to find out he wants me to pay $25 for a donation and to recoup $25 for his shipping costs to get the board to him originally plus shipping of his choice. Then I asked why his ad said $650.00 shipped and he is now asking $50 dollars more? That's when he refunded my money without discussion and said afterwards he's not willing to sell it for less than he had into it. I think this guy is a little shady for me so good luck If you purchase anything from him because he's not quite telling the whole truth upfront.

    solid advice. I always watch how a person is riding and let them know "passing on R/L" way before to give them enough time to adjust. If you wait too long it freaks them out. Almost like saying "boo" in there ear at the last second.

    I haven't ridden there since 97. I'm glad I left my hometown for no lift line resorts and dont miss the Cascade Concrete conditions either. Reminds me of Snoqualmie or Stevens Pass. Waiting 20 minutes just to get on a chair. 8 runs was a typical day back then. I can't even imagine how bad it is today. Of course those areas didn't have highspeed or more than 2 seaters yet. That's one of the reasons why Crystal was so nice. We avoided those areas near Seattle and would prefer Mt. Baker and Crystal for powder days and Mission Ridge for cruisers. The latter was our favorite. Now my local hill is starting to get crowded especially on powder days. Wait times are around a minute or less until around 11:30 then call it a day. Were only 30 min. from the hill. Yes I know boo hoo for me. But the weekends?? Forget it. We only get midweek passes.

    This may be a little off-topic, but if I want to run my rear binding (TD3) with 6 degree heel lift and no canting, does that mean the tallest part of the cant plate is directly under my heel? I may have mis-understood how these are supposed to be setup and I can't seem to find any info out there regarding setup.

    yes

    Agreed wider does feel more stable and if you are lifted/canted appropriately.  I believe that you will have a larger range of motion with your body with a wider stance.  I am 5'11 and riding a 21.5 inch/55cm stance 6 degree toe/lift, 6 degree heel lift.  

    When I was riding 19.5ish stances, I used 3 degree lifts.  Comfort wise I both stances feel great, the wider one has better performance for me.

    What boots do you wear David?

    If it were mine, I'd call it the Flaming Jack-O'-Lantern.

    That's a bit long for a nickname. lol. Color scheme is called evil orange. All my boards have short and sweet names so my buddies know which stick I'm riding that day.

    Picture was taken at a slight angle to board so bindings look like there's overhang but that's not the case.

    I found a nice board to compliment these boots. They look and work great together. So far ride is phenomenal! Perfect for narrow and crowded runs. Nickname the "Mad Pumpkin". Donek Metal FC 163 19 waist 7.5 -9.5 SCR. with F2 Titanium bindings.
