Kessler SL, all three Apex plates, and Vist plate sold. 185cm GS still available.

Hey folks, Whistlerite checking in. I should be in town those days, at least the 21-22nd. I've been keeping off the alpine boards so far this season due to some old hip issues, but I could likely make it out for some turns if you guys would be willing to accept a soft-booter in your midst ...!

Hi! Cleaning out the garage... time to sell various equipment! Prices & descriptions listed below. All prices in USD and exclude shipping & related costs (shipped from Whistler, Canada). Preference is to sell board & plate as package - this equipment was designed to ride together, and this gives you a chance to save on shipping. I'll cut a deal for purchases of more than 1 item. Ryan Kessler 185cm GS Board - $300 + Shipping Board is from 2011, and saw regular use (10-30 days/season) from 2011-2013. Since then it's been stored safely. I was the only owner of this board. This snowboard was considered the baseline flex pattern used by Canada Snowboard at the time, and is the same profile as Jasey's 2010 board. Board has UPM/Apex inserts, as well as a 4-hole pattern under the topsheet. Kessler 162cm SL Board - $400 + Shipping Board is from 2012, and saw regular use (10-30 days/season) from 2012-2013. Since then it's been stored safely. I was the second owner of this board, having purchased it from Matt Morison in excellent condition (only a partial season of use from him). Board has UPM/Apex inserts, as well as a 4-hole pattern. Vist Plate - $200 + Shipping Selling a vist plate from 2010-2011ish? This is one of their older models that splits down the middle (fits in your carry-on!). I fitted this plate with different screws, so no need to undo your bindings and remove 10 screws just to check/tighten your plate, only to have to reverse the process and then mount your bindings again... Just drop an allen key through the top plate holes, and you can tighten/remove the whole plate as pictured. The most convenient vist plate you've ever used! I may also have some extra sliding & locking hardware, so I can potentially toss those in as well. Apex V1 and V2 plates - $100 & $150 + Shipping I have 2x original V1 plate (as used by Jasey and the Canadian team in the lead-up and years following the Vancouver Olympics), as well as 1x V2 plate (shorter nose). These plates go great with the listed boards. This V2 plate is made with a balsa wood core, which is a bit lighter and stiffer than their usual plates. One of the V1 plates has a small hairline crack behind where the front binding was mounted (regular stance). I'm including some Lexan plates (stiff plastic sheets) that help distribute pressure and will prevent any future cracks. Quick note here - I only have two sets of UPM hardware available, but Apex sells individual sets and adapters to other mounting systems (Allflex, 4x4).

I've had both of these boots before, they're great. Price seems reasonable too!

i guess I see the argument, but I think that "losing speed" is a pretty illogical concern, given that you are going slow enough to require unstrapping and skating...........

Gotchya, thanks for the explanation! Seems like a reasonable concern.. My angles are not overly aggressive, but when I was first starting out I had some drag problems... I ride 28.5s which isn't huge, but is enough of a deterrent to keep me away from ski boots with a longer sole.

Is the only benefit of Intec that, instead of bending all the way down to reach the toe bail, you have a mildly, albeit, inconsequentially more "convenient" experience of reaching to a pulley system at the boot cuff, and stepping back in?

'Nuff said.

Yeah it's Pat the QC team coach (www.excellencesnowboard.com). He has collected a lot of pairs (I think 5 or more .950s and 2-3+ .900s) in multiple sizes. His goal is to have enough to create molds for each size and get producing them, he has the support and some financing lined up... Follow the facebook page and like/comment on the photo so he has a better idea of where demand is coming from, particularly for which sizes!

These are Nordicas. A lot of the American/Steamboat guys are on NWs. I think I saw that Morison is back on UPZs this season, too

They are. I'll shoot you a PM with my email info.

Hi all, I am selling 2 V1 Apex plates. Ideal for racing or fast and aggressive freeriding. If you know plates, you will know how many consecutive World Cup podiums the Canadian National team won using this, in addition to the Olympic Gold in 2010. I only have one set of hardware (UPM) for sale, so if you are purchasing to mount on a 4x4 board (Stock Kessler, SG, Coiler, Donek, etc) you can get the 4x4 mounting hardware from Apex Sport directly. One plate has a hairline crack (as pictured) along the surface on one edge, but it is cosmetic and doesn't go through. I am including some Lexan plates to mount between your bindings and the plate to distribute the pressure and ensure the crack won't change. Jasey used the Lexan plastic when he won Olympic Gold in 2010, so clearly they won't distort your riding (or not in a negative way, at least!) ;). I am asking $400+shipping for this plate. The second plate is in great condition and has only been used a handful of times. I am asking $600+shipping for this plate. Hardware included with either plate for an extra $65.

I have two V1 Apex Plates for sale. PM / email if interested.
