  1. @rjnakata I texted @TLN on 3/19 the above posted picture as well as asking him for an explanation. I have not heard from him. It appears he is ignoring me.
  2. I bought the SG from @TLN. A word of caution for anyone buying his gear in the future, @TLN wasn’t upfront about a severe damage the board had sustained. What seems to be a blunt collision damage to an area of the board caused top sheet delamination as well as a very dull section of the edge. It was my fault that i didn’t catch this damage during the transaction. It took place in a dark parking lot in the evening, and i was too trusting. As the owner selling gears, it’s the ethical thing to do to disclose any damage the gear has sustained. @TLN I hope you’re more upfront about this type of things in the future with other buyers.
  3. Hey guys, I've just learned about the mountain slope boots recently, what's the best way to purchase a pair in the US?
  4. hi @dhamann, would you be able to share what material the powerride is made out of? specifically for the red translucent hard version, is it acrylic or polycarb?
  5. Anyone got a stranda cheater 177 lying around that they want to find a new home for? would also consider a 170 regular width. thanks!
  6. @barryj I’ll take that 2nd board lower assembly kit if @TJR passes on it. I might even be able to pick it up from you.
  7. Hey guys, after getting eye laser surgery last year and almost the last season riding with goggles that have too high of an VLT (didn't realize at that time), my eyes have now become extremely sensitive to light and is easily irritated on sunny days. Even with Anon's Perceive Sunny Onyx lens which only has 6% VLT, which is the lens with the lowest VLT I can find on the market, after a full day of riding in the sun, my eyes would still be red and irritated. I understand I should probably go see an eye doctor, but anyone knows of even lower VLT lens/goggles (<5%) that I can try? Thanks!
  8. I believe you haha, that's a main reason why I'm on this forum, to learn from others' trials and errors thank you! Sean said that "Depending on the plate design, the UPM can provide a far more immediate edge engagement [compare to 4x4]." Is this the reason why you're keen on the UPM system? And do you mean that the UPM system is on its way out? Why is that? Have you tried Allflex/Iron Rock plate + board btw? I'm still new to all these things, but wondering how Allflex compares to UPM. What's your thoughts on this Kessler 180 with UPM? These have Allflex pattern but not sure if the large GS sidecut radius is suitable for me at this point. This 4x4 Oxess is also pretty nice though, I see you're also interested haha! Gotcha, let me think through what system I want to get in on and I'll pester him thanks for the tip! Definitely felt that when I was at Valle Nevado last month! I was drawing my line in pow and carving down icy slopes all on the SW62 I did call Sports Hub at some point and checked with them what Moss boards they have in stock, but didn't end up ordering from them. I feel very particular about the topsheet design of the board, so I reviewed all the topsheet design from past years, and narrowed down on which model years I want between the PQ60, SW62, and SW70. In the end I picked the 18-19 SW62 from The Easy Rider up in Alberta Canada. Below is a picture of me at Valle Nevado. I was riding it with my Phantom bindings and boots which I bought to use for backcountry stuff this coming winter. I agree with the person that sold you the PQ60 that your 17-18 PQ60 has the most beautiful topsheet of all PQ60s through the years. I'm hoping to get the latest 23-24 PQ60 myself because I like its red color (looks very vibrant in one of the video Moss shared on instagram). Sorry to hear that and hope the best for your recovery! Absolutely down for a play date! I live in the Bay and drove up to Tahoe pretty much every other weekend last winter. I think I'll be at Palisades most weekend this coming winter and probably will also be driving to Mammoth if condition allows (I fell in love with Mammoth this spring, ended up going till end of July ). Do you have the Ikon or Epic pass?
  9. The Plate/BP version seems to just be 1/4” shorter than the standard version, with thinner e-rings. It will be shorter stack height, but not sure how that’d make it better haha. Are you referring to your Coiler Angrry 160 XXT + Donek UPM F Plate setup? I saw your pic in the quiver post! looks nice! What’s the width of the Coiler Angrry 160 XXT? and do you have the Plate/BP version of TD3 lower assembly mounted on the F plate? Donek seems to only have the 4 x 4 version of the F plate in stock on their website at the moment. And I need to get a new board with UPM insert haha Also nice moss btw! i just got myself a SW62 last month and and took it for a spin in Chile! I ride it with my Phantom boots and bindings. Love that board!
  10. Looking for the following to pair with my Donek Flux to help with my knee pain hopefully: - Virus Isolator plates (BX/Freeride 24 - 28cm version) - TD3 SW (standard version as my boots won't work with step-in; Plate/BP version lower assembly as I'm mounting this on the Virus plates, standard version seems too tall) Thank you!
  11. Bpp lowers as in the boiler plate version of the lower assembly as shown here which is 1/4" shorter than the traditional lower assembly? I'm thinking about buying TD3 SW and the Virus Isolator plates which are similar to the geckos. Do you think the traditional lower assembly for the TD3 would be too tall mounted on the geckos/isolators?
