I have two unique plate systems for sale. They are both one-off/prototypes manufactured by an engineer in Slovenia. Vic Wild was previously riding these type of plates whilst he was racing for the US. One of these plates was actually ridden by him for quite a while (the green fibreglass plate). Zan Kosir was also riding these for a little while I believe. The design of the plates is somewhat different in that the front and rear 'bumpers' on the plates bend/deflect when the board is on edge making a turn - and the plate also slides forward over the section connected to the board beneath the front foot, the front bumper is also attached to this section. As noted above, one of the plates is fiberglass with a wood core. The overall length of this plate is approx. 880mm. The inserts are set at 50cm. The other plate is carbon fiber. It doesn't actually have a core, it is just carbon fiber layers. The overall length of this plate is approx. 860mm. There are two sets of inserts on this plate - one at 50cm and one at 46cm. This plate also has some additional 'bumpers' (for lack of a better word) underneath it, between the feet. I made these out of cork - you'll see them in the pictures - the cork is wrapped in pink duct tape and they're held in place with some glue and also the white duct tape wrapped around the plate. The plate can be ridden without the bumpers, but as its significantly softer (both laterally and torsionally) it rides much better with them. Both plates ride very stable with an initial feeling similar to that of a vist plate. The sliding element helps the board to accelerate in the turn, more so than a vist - largely because the sliding element is 'bigger'/the plate slides more allowing the board to arc better. The plates mount on 4x4 inserts and the carbon fiber plate will also mount on UPM inserts I believe. Both plates are a lot of fun - both in the course and free riding. I've done my best to explain it clearly - but hopefully these pictures will help. If you're interested in them please email me - richardjameswilkes@gmail.com

$950 incl. shipping to the 48.

I now ride SG snowboards with the SG plate for GS. So I don't have any need for this apex plate.

For sale: One pair of green UPZ RC10 boots. Shell size is 258 / 279mm. Boots have been used for approx. 30 days. I rode the boots with a low volume Mondo 26 liner and they worked great - but this shell size would be good for Mondo 25 and probably 24 also. Selling them with the stock UPZ liner that has not been used at all. Boots are in great shape - minor scuff marks only. Looking for $400 + shipping. Please email me for pictures - richardjameswilkes at gmail dot com.
