I have had a few private messages asking about the mounting system that this plate uses so here are the mounting instructions so everybody can see it more clearly

Price drop $375

Socks not included hahaha!!

The one I had which was flat on top, 170 approx long, very thin and light, I still have it but overseas in storage, is it also called the apex?
-
A legendary board, I had one back in the 90's. You should wall mount it just for the doberman, I also havea Oxygen that was silver very light weight but lost all camber very quick, does anybody know what model the silver one was

This has got to be one of Summit Counties worst starts on record, meanwhile it seems the rest of the world is getting dumped on!

Wow, thanks for that snowboard fast, didn't even know what pozidriv was, but found I had one in a tool kit, thanks to everyone else for the advise. Can't wait to tryout the board

Hi,
i wanted to see people's opinions on plates, and I don't mean your plates that you eat off. I have just brought a Kessler 168 which came with a Kessler plate, I wanted to see people's ideas on riding with and without the plate, how IT changes the board, I am longer racing and have not don for ten years, I have had a six year break from the industry and am now looking at getting back into riding again,

Here is a great review for mitts

Hi,
I was just wondering what peoples opinions are on which is the better ride, Kessler 168 vs SG 175, I have noticed one various forums people voting SG as the best boards available, although alot of the races are being won on Kesslers, any opinions on the pros and cons of either brand

Hey, I started running sleds back in 95 as I can't ski, I was the first person in Australia to do and the reason it went so well was a snowboarder is in the perfect stance to side slip down the hill especially with the use of hard boots giving extra power and all the power going into one edge,
-
Hey Hammerwoman, just one question you said you patrolled back in the day, but only used skis for running sleds, how come? It's actually easier to run a sled on a snowboard than skis!
-
I agree with most of the comments above but also take into account some boots just won't fit some feet, I had a pair of 700's which I spent two seasons in and had heaps of work done on but never got comfortable in, to many bone spurs I guess, good luck!

More forgiving you can relax knowing the board doesn't surprise you as often as an all glass board will. Not a decline in quality but a definite decline in the " oh shit now I'm in trouble feeling. Like the change skis have undergone in the last few years you will appreciate the difference in titinal vs glass having mastered the glass first. Once you start on the titinal you will only want to go back to glass to relive your youth and to scare yourself.
Cool, can't wait to try, if I wanna scare myself I'll take out the Simms 197!!
-
Your jumping the shark going from a relatively stiff glass board to a titinal build. Have you been able to try a titinal board. They are alot different. I have a186 PR Coiler and had a 173 AM made. Easier to ride more damp and forgiving. I'm about your weight .
Sorry not sure if I understand, having never ridden titanal board are you say easier to ride so go shorter or stay longer?
-
Just for those who are following my weight is 166 ponds not 180
-
I'm of similar build as OP and can make a pretzel out of 171.
Maybe the 168 would be the right product? Everyone claims it's stiffer then 171 and it's an easily flickable size for those crowded days in Euro resorts.

Hey Blue B, bit confused as you say you have no problem with the 171, then why go down to 168?
-
Looks like it has a 26 stamped on the liner but not sure as that would make it smaller than 8,5 size

First tracks is a great shop, with Mike Smith in charge and owner, well worth the visit even if just for a chat

After taking a long break from riding, i have decided to get back into it, I used to be an advanced rider but right now I would say intermediate due to the lack of time on the hill, my previous board was a Coiler Pure Race 184, with a 8.4 stiffness, I am 183cm tall and weigh 80kg, I think 180 pounds.
I am living in Europe so going for Kessler and was thinking about 180 but now wondering if 171 might be better, I won't be bashing gates just carving up the hill and laying it over as much as possible.
Any advice would be great.

Hi
Does anybody know if F2 Race titanium binding can be used to become step ins, is there an adaptor kit?

Sorry for all those interested but after riding the set up today with the plate I have decided to take it off the market as it rides a lot better than I previously thought
