  1. For exposure I believe the best way to go would be a made for TV format that's exciting, interesting, appealing and understandable for the Average Joe. Could be something along the lines of Red Bull Air race which one could say is aerobatics made "simple" for TV and public. An event appealing to large target audience would bring sponsors from outside of snowboarding:biggthump Promoting and creating interest in carving would be a byproduct of a good show:lurk: What elements people think should be in such show?
  2. F2 bindings in L size fit from mondopoint 26,5 to 31,0 snowboard boots, so size 30 shouldn't be a problem.
  3. No problem Flywalker, Maybe I was reading more than you were writing. It happens here often:biggthump
  4. Flywalker, of course you can do it both ways. For a newbie I'd still recommend conventional installation; using the center disc slots to finetune the stance length and just centering the boots on the binding by adjusting toe and heel blocks. Propably better not to have bias in the beginning.
  5. Set the center disk on the board so that the slots for mounting screws are lengthwise, then the "Edge" icons are towards the board edges. In the midle of the binding there are 2 small arrows, they will line up with the scale on the center disk. The other arrow is for regular, the other for goofy. So when you read the center disk you could see e.g. 60 and 30 lining with the arrows. Should be obvious which one is your binding angle:)
  6. Completely agree with above. The tooltonic sidewall plane is really neat. Takes just a couple of passes
  7. What's the point, Geeck economics:AR15firin And my tax money is paying for them:smashfrea
  8. Speed is an interesting point. Many people have said they go faster with a plate. And that plates are difficult at low speeds. In freecarving there's no clock. So how do you feel with a plate, do you have to go faster to get the same sensations? How's you speed control? Do you just need to go faster to make the board/plate combo to perform or be manageable? Or do you go faster because you feel more comfortable? Have you seen any difference in your turn radius, do you need more or less space sideways? Too many questions, sorry:smashfrea but at the moment there is no gear to try out by myself
  9. Thanks Lowrider, The only plate I've tried is a VIST, and that thing felt scary heavy with the plate and snow on board. Especially at low speeds it was like having some cement at your feet. That's why I'm asking if it really ads significantly to twisting forces when you fall or is it just my mental thing. What's your experience when falling with a plate? Like a total yardsale if that has happened to you with a plate?
  10. How's the added weight of the plate system influencing from accident/injury point of view? I'm concerned 'bout some "heavy momentum" twisting my poor bones. That of course is not a problem for guys who never fall:biggthump I do tend to go past my personal limits and skils so that is an issue for me. What's the experience?
  11. Go and try out everything you can find. Especially network with people who have same bootsize:biggthump If you want to get the feel of a custom board brand, the only way is to ride that brands boards and ask the owner what he was looking for. So you need to ride with guys who have them, are your weight and you know their style. After that you can make some sensible decisions and tell a custom builder what you are and what you are looking for. If money is no objection, just e-mail all custom makers, tell what you are looking for and see their replies. Order the best proposal and ride the heck out of it:ices_ange Then order the next one:biggthump to get that extra...something you need
