  1. Interested in sharing your knowledge about the plates you’ve tested?  Jason

      Yes, I’m working on an article all about it. Coming soon! 🙂

  2. Hi Andy, I'd like to buy the Apex plate. Will you call me to explain how it works? JT (262)203-3033
  3. I have two of us doing half day at Loveland may 1. How does four pack work? Half day is 29 and that seems very reasonable
  4. Also interested in bindings 262 203-3033
  5. Also interested in bindings 262 203-3033
  6. Wavechaser, do you still have any bindings for sale? Please advise. jsthompsdds@hotmail.com
  7. Well done, Keith. That is such a good board...
  8. I have very lightly used FP 68 that I would trade straight up for the bindings. Send me yur email for pictures.JT
  9. Offering $60 shipped to Wisconsin for only the bindings. Which I think all would agree on this site to be a VERY good offer for that binding.
  10. So... dynamic carving on bx or free ride board assuming either soft or hard the binding angles for optimal mechanics are.... Good assumptions on both counts. A. Riding a negative angle on the back foot is a good way to prevent a full, rebound driven, elastic sweep of the board through a heel side turn. Consider that in order to do so, the pressure wave under the board needs to move from the tip right through to (and out of) the tail. With a negative rear foot angle, the wave stalls under the rear heel, somewhere near the mid length of the board. Any energy remaining in the system needs to go somewhere, so if the rider hangs on to the edge too long, the snow under the edge will probably blow out as the load spikes, leading to 'chatter'. B. If the highbacks are not set 'correctly' the board will most likely twist while on edge, and/or, the rider will not be in a good position to 'work' the board, on account of lost ROM or excess muscle tension. (In the event you don't already realize this, a board 'twisted in the cut' is trying to make a turn of two different radii simultaneously.) All other adjustments being effective, you might try setting them up as follows: Standing evenly weighted on both feet, with your hips in line with (perpendicular to) your front foot, rock lightly back to feel contact under your heels. At the moment of firm but not excessive heel contact, you should feel the support from both front and rear highback at the same time. This is a baseline for sensible stance angles and widths. May not be valid in all sales territories. Season to taste. So... Dynamic carving on unidirectional bx or freeride board. Assuming soft or hard, address binding angles for optimal mechanics.
