  1. "0.5° base edge, 1.5° side edge, full running length and leave the detuning for me to do please. cheers."
  2. at a large alpine resort (l2a) and over the course of a week, i saw 6 guys on f2, 2 kesslers, at least 6 thias skwals and a pogo. f2 are a big brand on the european continent, and a popular/easy/safe choice for many.
  3. small elastic bands or o-rings are your friend.
  4. er, pass. i've seen both the adjustable and flip-up bail styles on intec bindings, but i don't know that the flip-up style is usable at both ends.
  5. they do. mine say 303/324mm at the heel and clip in just fine. you'll have less fore/aft adjustment than on the large size though.
  6. if you radius the bottom of the lift blocks, you'll probably get small camber/decamber compliance without boot transmission. nice bodging.
  7. contact your nearest well-groomed resort and ask for advertising materials, particularly any that say "come to X, where we know how to groom!"
  8. for 4 years i've learned and been playing on that sort of poor surface, and ice etc. took my first trip abroad for snow, to the alps this year. i was bored of perfectly groomed snow by 10am on day 2. think of it as a challenge.
  9. find out where the groomer drinks. buy beers until inebriated. vent thy spleen. lather, rinse, repeat.
  10. perlatech are a manufacturer of low-friction surface treatments and barriers. maybe this will be the year of the waxless base.
  11. just returned from a week in les deux alpes. saw many (5+) riders on thias skwals, shared some ruts with a two of them, witnessed a guy zoom down a mogul run on one. didn't see what boots he was wearing.
  12. have you unwound the adjustment on the buckle itself, to its longest position? remove the rear spoiler for a bit more space?
  13. relay runners tend to go quicker when carrying a baton .. and a thief runs faster with a bag of swag... ;)
  14. does it recover its camber if you take all the hardware off? you could always have a new one made with the same topsheet as current, and then claim you just had it glossed to keep the snow off.
  15. i know a pointer with a similar tennis ball obsession.
  16. you can marginally change the height of the cuff a little further with them, and of course the cant angle .. both arrows pointing down i think adds more height, but also changes where the cuff pivots from as well. no more suggestions beyond that though, i assume the liners are pretty beefy.
  17. winning lotto numbers? boots in bindings though. and how you have the cuff canting things set too
  18. not gonna happen: www.ebay.de/itm/141553868565
  19. wow that exchange rate is even poorer than £ -> €. I'll have to pass. ;)
  20. would you trade the Virus Cyborg Evolution Zylon Kevalr Custom for an espresso and some stroopwafels? :)
