  1. I was told that there was only one other person trying out boards with hardboots that day.

    I brought my tape measure and found the waist on the 177FLC Metal was 20.2cm.

    I was amazed at how much slower it was edge to edge than my 177WCRM with a 19.5 waist.

    The wax on that board was not appropriate for the temperature. It was extremely sticky so speeds were not very fast.

    It rode similar to my 185WCR - providing a big board feel in a mid size package.

    Good to hear of, if not see another hard booter.

  2. Looking at my Rattrap bindings and confirmed by the photos, The footpad mounting does not look as elegant as Jack is describing.

    It looks like the plastic spacers are sitting on top of the washer with rubber below that.

    Would cyclic loading of the screws be that bad?

  3. I have a few of these Rat-Trap Bindings that I got from Trident Sports in Vancouver BC, Canada just before they stopped making them.

    I love these bindings:1luvu:. They fit in between the TD's and the Burtons for flex, The thin base plate provides the flex. Changing to a thicker plate just flexes the boot instead.

    Canting and lift are done with washers and plastic spacers. Vibration is reduced with rubber/aluminum washers.

    The long toe bail is easy to open and close and the heel bail does not fall over or fall back.

    Snow does not get packed into the center and can be cleaned out easily

    The cable adjustment can be a pain but the fit does not change with temperature. Can be adjusted snug in a warm house and not be sloppy on those cold days.

    If you want to get rid of these bindings, I could put them to good use.

  4. I searched before I posted this. I read many articles and found some boards have moved around, but could not track down a Hooger 181 tuned.

    I was hoping someone might be cleaning up for summer.

    Any help would be really appreciated.

  5. What sort of sidecut and width do these 185 Burton Customs have?

    Are the the same as the Factory Prime 185? I was hoping the used board may turn quicker than the 15m of my FP185.

    Are the Burton Physics bindings the Step-in Physics?
