  1. We had about 2 dozen stubbies at the ski area I coached at before it closed. Will make some calls tomorrow to see if they are still around.
  2. i think the frontenac guy you referring to was me. think i was the only hardbooter there.
  3. SS, Dumb question, but did I send the mounting screws with? I was boxing up some things for storage when I packed the bindings and could not remember if I put them in the box. If not, let me know so I can search for them. Glad you received them ok.
  4. I would say it is legit. Every so often they somehow get alpine decks in. I walked in the shop a few years ago and there was a whole pile of Burners in the back. Give them a call.
  5. SS - pic sent Sale pending on race plates, proton, and TD1's.
  6. SS- sent you an email about the race plates....will have to be tomorrow before i can send close ups.
  7. Still have the race plates. It would depend on how and where you want them shipped as far as total cost goes. Probably about another $5 for cheapest USPS.
  8. Thanks for the link Bryan......have been too busy to even search and today was duck opener. I will get them on tonight. Kenton
  9. Karl, I think I have some of these in a box somewhere. Will look later and let you know.

  13. scrapster - 3 tape measures that used to be in my garage have disappeared....kids must have them somewhere. It looks to be a 19 waist. I held it up next to the Burton which is an 18 and there appears to be about 1cm difference. moonshiner - dont know if there is any difference between the 3 and 4 hole base plate. I am guessing there is. I emailed bomber and am waiting a response. Anyone know? colintkemp - emailed pics...let me know if you need more trying to upload pics to the thread now.

  15. Not too hard to butter or boardslide a race board on a nice box, just have to be careful! Maybe that also contributed to my hosed up ankle.
  16. I did not take what you said as condescending and appreciate your insight. I am just trying to figure out why these injuries happened. Although I have been riding for a long time, whose to say that my set-up is correct? I am no expert nor do I have the time or money for someone to analyze every aspect of my set-up, riding style, etc. I go with what has worked well for me in the past. The sports med dept will be fitting my boots for next season with positive results I hope. Thanks again.
  17. I guess what I am am really driving at with this post is custom boot fitting vs stock liners and this type of injury. In which case is it more prevalent or is it the method of injury or a combination of the both? Thanks for the info so far....
  18. Maybe it is because I ride duck in softies that led to it all? That is a discussion in another thread.......softies that is. :)
  19. Myself along with most everyone else on Bomber, I assume, is quite meticulous about the set-up of our gear including cuff alignment of our boots. I have been on hardboots long enough to know what feels right or wrong. The only thing I have not done is customize my liner and footbed. Never thought it was an issue until now. I do not have inward canting on my front boot. I run 0 on the front and 6 in the rear. It was my rear foot that was injured this time. I think it was the mechanics of both crashes plus boot slop that led to the injuries. The current was a high speed heelside washout with me trying to compensate and maintain the turn which turned bad. I should have just sat down. Which leads me back to what you mentioned...quality foot support. I suspect that this may be the underlying cause of both of these injuries.
  20. I am on my second ankle injury in three years and am trying to figure out why this is happening. Am in PT and Sports Med at Mayo and as the vicodin is kicking in my mind is going. A little history....first one I stuffed the nose and kept rotating as I felt my ankle twisting all over the place. Ski Patrol took me in on that one. This time fast heelside, board started chattering out and flopping all over the place as I again felt my ankle moving. Not really any pain, took a break, kept riding. Both cases resulted in high-grade tears in tendons and ligaments primarily on the inside of my ankles. I am in Fire's with the stock liners and ride with them tight. My questions for those who have suffered a similar injury: 1. Are you in a stock liner or moldable with custom footbeds? 2. How much movement do/did you have in your ankle? 3. Is this a fairly common injury for a rec rider? Pro's? 4. If injured, were you told that the custom footbeds/liner would possibly help prevent an injury of this nature in the future? 5. I do not have any congenital issues that I know of...ride bike alot, but do no specific conditioning for my ankles. Does anyone do specific strength training for the ankles to prepare for riding season? I have been in hardboots for about 20 years and am in softies while I ride with my young kids and while coaching but have never suffered this type of injury while in a soft setup. I am in hardboots about 95% of the time. Sorry this got so damn long. I am sick of the the couch and another riding season cut short. Thanks for any insight provided!
  21. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: That is about the way it is with sir vicodin. MRI showed several high grade tears again plus part of my heel bone ripped away. Time to break out the Flow's again
  22. Well said! This seems like it is turning into another skiers vs. boarders theme that many of us witnessed many years ago. Some of these posts have a very elitist attitude and may turn people away from hardbooting. I ride soft and hard and enjoy both equally. I coach the freestyle team at our local area, ride duck, can carve duck, but when practice is over the hardboots go on. The kids like it, try to carve with me down the hill, and when they have questions about the sport I point them here.....to read all this. A carve is a carve is a carve. P.S. Dr. D, I am still loving that Identity I picked up from you when I was out there last winter. Sweet, sweet ride.
