  1. DWOLLA is available only to people and businesses inside the USA.
  2. Lots and lots and lots and lots of great beer to choose in Vancouver, Kaz:D Ironna Vancouver hito ha hokka no kuni kara kimashta. Eigo ha karera no saishou kotoba jyanai dayo. Shimpai shinai de. Kimochi ha ichiban daiji. Onaji shumi moteru dakara topikku ha hanashi yasui. All good :)
  3. Nice one guys! Thanks for the heads up :)
  4. These are the ones l am talking about... http://s1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa459/Flywalker-1/Carbon%20race%20plates/
  5. Has anyone seen these before? Are they stiff? Wondering if they could be modded to be a good powder/free ride boot...? http://s1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa459/Flywalker-1/Kastinger%20Boots/?action=view&current=Kastingerboots.jpg
  6. Hi BlueB:) Would you say they're just as safe as regular race plates?
  7. Just found a pair online. Does anyone have any experience with these?
  8. Hiya, Been a long time user of these bindings and only recently learned some of the differences between them. The pair that l have only has a thin sheet of rubber under the binding, not the removable bumpers which come in a variety of hardnesses. As there are several of these bindings for sale on here and through various auction/sale sites, l was wondering if there was really any difference in feel or use when on the snow. l have never ridden the "bumpered" newer plates so would appreciate any feedback from those who have ridden them both... and noticed any, or no benefit between the two. Thanks!
  9. Interested in the cants! Are they Burton 3 hole or 4x4? Also interested in the softest bumpers for race plates if you have them.
  10. I found if l undid the locking mechanism a the back, pulled the liner up and then pushed down with my foot that my heel slipped perfectly into the heel cup. Straight out of the box, no problem from day one. Never cold, never uncomfortable.
  11. STOP over-twisting myself around so much on heel side that my shoulders are square to the board and instead keep them in line with my boots. Learn how to ride through gates. Consistent toe and heel EC carves. Stay out of the hospital!
  12. Kaz! Anata wa sugoi rakki hito dayo! Vancouver wa Canada no ichiban saicouna machi. Uraiyamashidesu (^_^) Boku wa Sapporo ni sunderu. Kyounen Canada ni kaerimashta. BlueB mo Scooby mo aimashta. Sono futari wa tottemo yasashi. Karera wa boku wo takusan tasukemashta. BlueB and Scooby will take very good care of you, Kaz. You are starting your life in Canada in the best way. Enjoy!
  13. Hiya, I'd consider those as well. How much are you asking?
  14. Hoping to track down either or both 3* or 7* cant plates for Burton race bindings. Please contact me if you have some you're happy to part with.
  15. Hiya Randy (^_^) At 230lbs you're a big dude! l don't think you'd have any problem at all flexing an RC10. l'm 170lbs and with the red tongues l can squish this boot regardless of whether or not l am in free flex or "locked in". The spring at the back is adjustable as well so you really can fine tune it. Don't let the race pedigree fool you... the forward flex is still much more forgiving than a ski boot, however the lateral flex is approaching ski boot stiffness. lf you're pairing up with TD3 SW's even the lateral stiffness will be subdued. l have a Kessler too with RC10's and SW's and l am wanting for nothing, except snow. Personally l think you'll find the ATB's too soft for you. lt's easier to soften up an RC10 than to stiffen up an ATB. With the red tongues l am sure you'll get all the flex you need PLUS the support... and if you find yourself needing more, just pop the standard black tongues back on, or just put one on the front foot. l may try that next season.
  16. Hiya Roy!! Yeah... this is our summer hobby... but that guy is ranked 11th nationally. We're not even in the top 30 in our province :o It takes years and years to get that good... kind of like snow carving. Mind you, Kaoru beat me 4 out of 6 races last year and she doesn't even have her license...LOL! 2-1 for me so far this year. However she'll no doubt get her revenge at the next one (^_^)

    185 Kessler

    What weight was it built for? Pics?
  18. +1 on Boeri. l have a Uvex race helmet. l like it but l haven't had to "test" it. l hope l won't have to.
  19. Board JUST arrived! lt's as described.... very good condition and ready to rip. The season is all but done here so l'm just going to admire it until next winter. Being Canadian, the graphics are.. well... appropriate (^_^) Thanks Joe!
  20. +1 on the stock liners. Bought my RC10's new in Dec '10. They were comfortable out of the box and have just continued to become more comfy. The gel pockets take a little time to mold to your foot... give them that time and you will be rewarded. l have worn my boots down to -25 celsius with no problems at all. Also... just for ease of entry/exit... unlock the rear mechanism before doing either and your foot will slide in/out with minimum effort.
