Any interest in selling those Jr Drake plates Bryan?

...or a VERY expensive way to get s*** faced. An expensive wine. Hell, at only a couple grand I'll take TWO :rolleyes:

Yep. Sounds like they have us pegged!

Yep - DIN ski boots only. Looked at those some time ago. Too bad because $65 is a helluva deal. This would be for Jr. SB hardboots

Still on the look out for a Jr plate or something that will go down to a Mondo 22.5 shell. 4 X 4 pattern. Perhaps a Burton Carrier or something like it.

For the 188: Waist - 18.2 cm Sidecut - 16.7 m Effective Edge - 170 cm I'm assuming the Hasco Burners were built to the same specs.

http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=2020&highlight=sims+burner+split+tail Scroll down to Bordy's post - I think he articulated this topic quite well. They are a unique ride and a TON of fun! Wasn't that 188 originally Jason's (Mellow Yellow - AKA: "dancing poop")?

Yep. Makes sense.

+ 1 All our best for this unfortunate and challenging situation. Please keep us informed!

Eric, I understand the concept of "pop" (or whatever term you want to use) at the end of a turn and how tail shape/configuration can affect that...as well as other board variables. I was just a little confused as to how Ursle's response really related to my earlier comment. Interesting enough, I've ridden a fair share of of square-tail decks (with and without taper) and can say that the rounded-tail Prior had as much or more of this perceived "pop" that we speak of than some of the square tails I've been on. This perception obviously varies from rider to rider.

Huh

What exactly did Shred proove? While effective edge is an important component affecting the board's stability at speed, I would say that "It's all about effective edge" is a stretch. What kind of terrain? Snow conditions? Appication (race, freecarve, all-mtn., etc)? Depending on your application, tip & tail profiles are definitely going to be a variable in the equation. Maybe we need to define what "it's" is ;)

Who/Where is this information coming from Groov, if you can, demo one first. I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

SOLD! Thanks for looking!

OOOOHHHHH......That's SEXY

Can't speak for other Mfgs out there, but the Prior DOES have a wood core (Aspen/Maple to be exact). It's the fiberglass component that is replaced with CF and Titanal

Sweet! Hey tex, specs on that new Coiler EX?

Ballistic is SOLD

Whoa, scary release! All the new Deeluxe, and nearly all the older Raichle boots, are INTEC compatible. Not sure what you mean by "metal support", but you should be able to simply remove the standard heel and replace it with the Intec. The Intecs come with new hardware, including new T-nuts if you need them (although I doubt you'd need to replace the ones that are already there). With the new stuff, you shouldn't need to drill ANYTHING. I ride some older Raichle 224s and the only thing I had to modify was the cable hole - just bored it out a bit with my drill to accomodate the wider diameter of the cable. Everthing else lined up just fine. See Michelle's "Sticky" here: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=16242 Good luck!
