Steve, I have a 185, I could do some measuring at some point.

I have an Apex X plate and I am looking for a set of 4x4 mounting hardware and/or Allflex. Anyone not using it and willing to sell it?

Man another K168 for sale, what is going on? Probably the best board on the market right now for all around riding... If you could only have 1 board this is the board to have

Just last Saturday I discovered a double black called “Double Dipper” at Killington that was incredible. Very long sustained steep pitch. I was doing laps on it until my legs gave out and it happened to be right under the lift The rest of the day I had people commenting on my riding. I actually had a lady want to follow me around to watch...That was a little creepy, she ripped on skies.

I’ll never forget the day. At the time in 1987 I was living in Austria. I was a young teenager and was at Gerlos Platte in Austria with my buddy. We saw two guys come down on what we thought was a short surfboard, actually we had no idea what it was. We chased them down to ask them what it was. They told us it was a New thing called a snowboard and where they had Funky test boards with plates so we tried it out. I can’t tell you how many times I fell that day, but I loved it and was hooked. My father was not to happy since we had just gotten 195 Blizzard skis from the factory and I only used them twice. I didn’t even know there where soft boots when I started besides what I saw on TV and mags since just about everyone in Europe were on plates. Not until I moved to the US in 1990 did I actually see someone riding in softboots. The only reason I tired softboots was for jumping, it was difficult to pull a rocket air in plates. I was all about looking for jumps, laying down turns between jumps, repeat. I hated not being able to carve until I discovered I could do both tricks and carving with a PJ 6 and Flex bindings. In one season I busted 3 pairs of Burton Flex bindings until they replaced them with plates.

Ja, sehr gut Shred

@Shred Gruumer we need some proof of you laying some ruts with those Stöckli’s, I’ll be the first to admit I enjoy laying down some carves on 2 planks once and a while...

Where you headed Shred? East/West?

@cbrkid1981 Diana, I am at Wachusett quite a bit (have the Gold pass). @Arden is there as well and works on the mtn. Happy to give you some pointers. The trails should be plenty wide enough for linking turns. Are you able carve your down hill edge either on softboot or hardboot? Ralphs Run is a good trail to practice on. Geoff

After over 30 years in hardboots apparently my back is protesting now and given out on me. I have developed some bad habits this season sitting in the back coming out of the apex all due to lower back paine. I am focused on relaxing my body, looking where I go, letting the board initiative and not tossing my body into a turn. I am trying to stay balanced and not trying to sit in the back. If I feel myself doing it I go back to basics, touch the front boot stay centered and keep my rear arm from flailing behind me.

18-25m dang where are you riding that? On a football field? My 185 KST takes up the entire trail at 45mph. It yells at me when I am doing 25mph. With 18-25m you have to get up to some serious speed before you can tilt that sucker over.

@tfcarve welcome to the forum. I would recommend adding some more info on the boards you are selling (i.e. width, radius, metal vs glass construction etc). This will help you sell your boards and reduce a lot of questions. Good Luck with your sale

I was not, there was a teenager running gates. I was up Sat/Sun. I’ll probably be running gates at Wachusett on Saturday

Kurt you definitely have a big $$$ collection. I see about $15K+ in boards on your wall. I should show that to my wife and tell her "see my collection is nothing compared to this guy. NOW he has has a serious problem"

I rode last weekend with @AlexJ at Stratton which over the past 10 years has been known for providing some of the top grooming in the East, hence having multiple ECES events there over the years. Well Alex has been telling that it has been bad the past few years from a grooming perspective. I can personally confirm that I experienced some of the worst grooming I have seen in a long time. After riding there I feel spoiled with the great grooming I have seen at my local bump Wachusett Mtn. Even Sugarloaf has now better grooming than Stratton. Someone in the know told me that grooming will improve there in the next 3 weeks as a new groomer will be laying down some cord. I'll have to make a trip up again to confirm

@trailertrash you have been using Zipfit for a while. I know you suffered from cold feet a lot. For me as @Jack M indicated heel hold is a top priority, good stiff liner and toe warmth. I also suffer from snow coming in under the tongue and getting a soaked liner by the end of the day. The snow issue is because of the high angles we create when carving.

Awesome love it. Looks a little busy

@MR. JOHN DEERE !Those specs are very similar to @Jack Mcustom KST 175x20.5/10-14m. When you unload it I want first dibs.

185 arrived today. Awesome job packing her up, she looks like she has been barely used. Great seller

Do you still have a set for sale? Trying to find a set of TD stepins for a friend. I’ll take a set shipping will be to 01590. Tell me total cost and can PayPal/Venmo today

This was on the rack at Wachusett last night.

SOLD

Interesting and following. It is great to see another company trying to introduce another HB boot to give us more options. I hope they succeed and wish them luck. My first reaction to seeing the shape reminded me of cross between a Burton Furnace boot and the new Mountain Slope.
