    A friend is head of grooming at Bromley Mountain.  This picture of his handy work is too drool worthy, not to post!  Hope everyone is having a good summer.

    "sexy cord" could be the new phrase??

  5. UPZ BOOT RIDERS POLL. HEAL LIFT OR NO HEAL LIFT?

    6 degrees lift on the front. 3 degrees lift on the back. 65f/63r with TD3 sidewinder.  19 3/4" stance width. It has been working for me with the new XC12 Upz boots.

    I have the XC12's also. I usually use those with my powder boards. They are super flexy without turning up the spring tension. I like the firmness of the RC12's for carving hard.

    This is great guys! I'm seeing a pattern forming. Others please chime in. Thanks

    I forgot to mention that my binding angles are 55 degrees on both. Stance 19.5 inches No lean on both boots. Although without rear lift I set rear boot lean on click.

    I run higher angles on the TD3 setup on a narrower board than the F2 setup on a wider board.

    My setup method follows @Beckmann AG authoritative work. I focus on centering my front knee to the width of the board and go from there... staying within the box wine parameters of course. 

     

     

    Yeah I've got the front foot dialed in. Rear foot is where its slides in the grey area.

    I have M30/31 and switched from Deeluxe to UPZ because of the lack of heel lift in my RC12. So no lift in the UPZ's, way too much lift in the T700s. Your mileage may vary. 

    I'm leaning toward without bc it does feel more natural. With lift makes me feel like It makes me lean forward on the nose of the board and not centered. Especially on a Thirst

    Curious to see if UPZ boot riders like 3 degree heal lift on rear foot with F2 bindings. I'm thinking it might be too much considering the high internal boot ramp angle. I've gone back and forth riding with and without and still haven't found what feels better. What are your experiences with rear foot? 

    Binding angles 55 degrees both. Stance 19.75 inches (50cm). Front lift 3 degrees.

    I don't know what you're riding but the modern boards are just so much fun to ride that it's like crack cocaine, very addictive! You'll just want more and more of it. You'll become another lost soul, like me, and so many others here, who live the rest of the year craving the carve of the new Thirst Superconductor in my garage

    YES! Crack! After my first ride on a Thirst Superconductor I dream every night riding the SC. Now its dumping everyday this week and have to leave my Thirst at home for the powder board. Don't get me wrong I love the powder but I wanna ride my thirst so bad its killing me.

    We've been watching Back to the Future, I wish I could go back to the day I received my first alpine board. I'm going up in the morning and going to rail turns just like when my Donek AX was new. The Apex Geckos are like shock absorbers. Carve on Jake
