  1. Hi Bill, I have a pair of F2 bindings that I bought from this very site that I can offer you (just a smidge too big for my boots). Haven't listed them yet but feel free to send me a message! Glad to see you getting back into it! My goal is to keep on railing turns well into retirement so reading your story is great motivation!
  2. I was a service tech at my local hill (actually how I got introduced to hardboots). My boss had a Prior WCRM and we had old Burton Amps and Speeds for me to learn on (both riding and setups). Was always excited when a hardboot customer came in (not many in NS), and always treated their gear with extra care (took reference pictures of the setups, noted angles and stance widths, etc.). All I can say to this though, is they tried but hopefully it became a learning experience for them!
  3. Unfortunately Dan won't be answering calls or emails. In case I'm not at liberty to say, I'm not going to give the reason why here. All I will say is that his wife is tracking calls and emails on his behalf, and that there's plans of someone else taking over for Dan. I was told to send emails to upzboots@gmail.com
  4. Apologies if it's been asked (didn't find a thread about this in a search), but has anyone had any luck contacting UPZ Canada or Dan Yoja? Would like to order some replacement heels and toes for my RC 10s but the site is down for maintenance: https://upzboots.com/
  5. Checking out the trail map at the top of Bromont: Guide: "Can I help you?" Me: "Sure. Can you tell me what runs are wider to carve on?" Guide: "Do you do park?" Me: *Looks down at my F2 Vantage 168, then back up at him* "...No"
  6. Shark's Boutique in Laval might have them Patrice. That's where I found my F2 Race Ti mediums.
  7. I knew about tele-boards but what is an Uni-board supposed to be?
  8. First run today a softbooter (mid-30's) checks out my F2 in the lift line: "You guys can REALLY carve on those things! It's so fun to watch!" Me: "Yep, it's real fun to ride too!" What a nice way to start the day
  9. Sadly I never met the man, but I know that without Burton I likely never would've gotten on a board at all. Like most here I remember my firsts: first lesson, first ride, first carve, all of them on Burton boards. From our shop's LTR's, to riding directional on a Cruzer 164, to getting a taste of alpine and even asym on an Amp 160 and M6 (which I still ride today). Even my first board to call my own was Burton - a Speed 168w, where the bulk of my carving mileage is. He truly made snowboarding accessible to all, and the best way we can thank him is to keep on riding. Hats off to you Jake.
  10. Hey if the Silberfeil is still available will you ship to Canada? Currently in NS (would pay for shipping of course!)
