  4. Burton Wind

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    This is my fourth season on my Burton Winds. I am not hard on my equipment so am hoping to get a few more seasons out of them.

    They fit my foot well and I like the adjustibility in forward lean and cant.

  5. The problem with riding carving/racing decks

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    I spent about three (of my ten)seasons on hard boot, plate bindings, and carving boards but found myself never being quite satisfied with my carving performance.

    I experimented with my stance, different equipment, took lessons at my local resort, and even rode with some friendly hard booters at the hill to try to improve my riding. On top of that, I just never felt as comfortable and confident as my soft boot set-up.

    As you can guess , I now ride my soft-boot set-up most of the time and occassionally pull out the carving board for a morning or two a season(rode it last weekend for first time this season).

    Que sera, sera!

    Dear Kaialex2,

    I have sold via Bomberonline twice last year. I will see what it will cost

    to ship tomorrow. I am offering to sell for approximately $50.00 USD plus

    what I have done in the past is split shipping 1/2 each.

    I will need your full name, mailing address, and telephone number to ship.

    The Coil is a 2000 currently hot waxed and edges tuned per Burton's alpine

    requirements. The colour is green.

    Thanks ,

    Doug

  19. What Soft boot set up do you ride???

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Boots: Vans Switch (N Series) Isotope and Mach.

    Bindings: Switch A66 N Series (no highback) mounted to a 1996 Burton Rippey, 2002 Burton Motion and most recently an old Burton Wire 56 that was used as my first Alpine set-up

    Although I have been predominately using my alpine set-up over the past three years, I have been pretty impressed and happy with the Vans / Switch N Series set up for soft boot carving and would be hard-pressed to go back to straps.:)

  21. Soft boot set-up for Burton Wire 56?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    I have owned a Burton Wire 56 as my initial alpine set-up(Burton hard boots and Trenchdigger plate bindings).

    I now use a longer board for my alpine set up and was thinking about soft boot set-up for my old Burton Wire.

    The waist width is about 22cm and was going to use my Switch N series step-ins and size 8 Vans Mach(20 degrees front, 15 degrees rear).

    Do you think there will be too much toe or heel drag? The sidecut on the Wire 56 is about 8.97m.

    Any opinions, suggestions, etc. is appreciated.
