  1. To beat a dead horse?

    No experience receiving payment, however...

    I just completed a Transferwise with i-carve and it was the simplest overseas transaction I have done

    Ivan offered me an "invitation" link

    I was able to use a credit card

    Transfer completed by end of day/overnight for the exchange rate I suppose

    Fees were much lower than PayPal

    Board arrived in 3 days from Slovenia miraculously

    Not much experience with Canadian transactions

    I just sent a PayPal to UPZ and that was easy

  2. I was going to ask you if you had discussed the Slice and Dice secret sauce with Bruce

    I can't imagine riding something so short, while attempting to keep an open mind...

    Gotta go to know

     

    I am fully covered on the powder end of the spectrum

    35 years at Snowbird...

    Looking for a modern board for after the leftovers are gone...

    Maybe the MD signature model

    Have you tested a Kessler Ride?

    Any comparison?

    Assuming your BXFR is significantly stiffer

    Thanks

    Outstanding presentation once again

    You have certainly set a high bar

    Do you have an entry at Sundance this year?

     

    I have a gaping hole in my quiver at my new "home mountain" not in Utah

    I need an all-mountain battle axe for less soft days

    The BXFR has been one of the few boards I have been considering

    Did you design with any intention of riding off-piste?

    Have you ridden BXFR off-piste in variable conditions worth riding?

    Is there something inherent in the design that simply rules that out?

    I need to broaden my horizons on firmer days more often

    I prefer a wider board for stance preference

    Thanks

    Wondering if you have modified the shells at all as far as fit etc

    Any grinding or heat de-form/re-form

    What is your "street shoe" size US please

    I am "usually" a 27.5 which seems to vary quite a bit between brands...

    Any plastic failing/splitting/cracking/brittleness etc?

    Thanks

  5. Another consideration affecting the maximum contact length available I just realized is the thickness of the sole...

    If your boot is higher off the plate than mine, you would have less than my 289mm I believe

    I have brain damage

    Hope that makes sense

    I attempted to edit the above post

     

    I need a first-grader to show me how

    I have WC, OS1, and OS2 in short and long standard/non-stepin.  I use same size AT ski boots as your size that have a relatively long bootsole length for the size

    I just measured bail contact length as 289mm ish

    WC are completely different plates for short and long, not just in length

    You will be near the limit of length on a short, be exact in your measurement on your boots

    I have had to swap bails just to get an extra mm or two on short due to slightly different size of bails

    I prefer the simplicity of the older models

    Canting is FANTABULOUS!!

    All hardware other than the spherical nuts available thru McMaster-Carr (not including bails or toe-clips of course)

    I have not needed any of my assortment, other than the setscrews of various lengths while experimenting with extreme canting...

    Obviously, some people completely destroy fasteners/hardware

     

    Anyone know a source for the spherical nuts? (which are larger on the older models compared to OS2)
