Super sorry about the metal. Sucks - but is not unsurmountable. I'm 46 and my life goal is to be the oldest dude rockin' it! BTW - my left rib-cage has ripped away from my sternum - looks like you might imagine. That was a tree while racing first run at Lost Trail - MT on a killer powder day. Hurt twice if you catch my drift. Anyway... I hear you about the plates and angles. Without knowing much about your situation, I'd imagine that angling forward would be helpful for you - unless you are fighting it. Sometimes a guy can feel hesitant in such an aggressive stanch. My advice.. Get Agressive. Don't be stupid, but believe in yourself, your board and your ability to carve it up, Bro. Best of luck - BTW. Oh... and I have a pair of SnowPros that are pretty stiff, but have great options for canting which I'd also guess might help you.

Don't remember if I explained I was looking to deck out my splitty. I know Bomber made a sidewinder for Voile tracks and heard it has decent lateral flex. I was curious how the Voile Mtn Plates compare. $300 vs. $55 probably says a lot... but I'd like to hear from anyone who has ridden both, or has an opinion on either. For what it's worth - I've always rode Burton.. love 'em. When I was first starting out in hard boots I bought some snowpros and ended up setting them on a shelf for like 5 years b/c they felt too stiff. Pulled them out again this last season, and now I'm totally sold for in-bounds stuff. Groomers or Pow.. Damn nice binding. (I normally ride a 68 megalite by the way - 5'7")

Right on Skidder. Don't the plates for the Ibex fit weird on the voile rails? I have some super flexy Burtons, but I figured I make break them if they didn't fit right. What's your experience?

Thanks, Bro.

Howdy All - I'm new.. can someone tell me how to post a question? Thanks.

Gotta give my two cents on this b/c I'm on my third board. If you want an all mountain board that will carve up soft groomers, rip thru bumps and generally give you awesome powder runs again and again - Go find a Nidecker Megalite. They've changed their design of late - but they rule. I'm 5'7" and I ride a 168.. had a couple buttery 166s before that. Lot of folks going to rocker these days, and for good reason, but if you like to rip, pop your turns, and let the board do some of the work. Trust me.
