  1. Yes, canting is like booze: if some is good then more is clearly better. Until you end up on your face. Is that helpful?
  2. That can’t be good after -15 temps…
  3. When did Buck Hill leave Minnesota?
  4. I know you got the big, ol’ landmashers like me. Have you had to increase your binding angles to compensate for the Backlands increased sole length over, say, UPZs?
  5. Bruh, less turns means more runs, more vertical, higher average speed. It's right there on my phone. Which I can brag about later to my other bruhs, bruh.
  6. Man, that sounds like a lot of work. I think I'll opt for the short cut...
  7. Sadly, none of this may be easy to sort out with those big treads of yours. There's some nuance to the boot/binding/riser interface that gets trickier with bigger feet. Flow/Nidecker make a nice binding but the XL size has greatly increased width (yes, strange, I know) over the L, creating a large amount of movement between boot (the few I've tried) and binding. Going with an L renders the easy in/out design useless. Now O-drives and Ride El Hefes (now A-10s) are nice options, but don't mate well with Bomber Power Plates because they exceed the footprint of the plate itself. Other risers may be different. The point is that you may need to try a few combos that you didn't expect. +1 on @dhamann's Thraxis recommendation.
  8. Carbon? In its natural form? If you ever need a second opinion on how that prototype works…
  9. And risk mockery at the hands of our unquestioned leaders like AngrySnowboader? Not a chance…
  10. You are The Sexton. He is not The Sexton. You bury him.
  11. Continuing the stupid and offensive theme. Happy Halloween...
  12. Stupid and offensive. Like all my favorite music.
  13. You can always add that later.
  14. Ah, well, factory farming is pretty hard on things (James Rebank’s English Pastoral is a great book). Mining is a bit brutish. Giant loafs of salty meat are maybe not totally sustainable…
  15. Evidently, according to billionaires from my country, Planet B is your country.
  16. I’m sure the folks at BP would beg to differ.
  17. If only someone made a contraption that enabled snowboarding without all the exotic or handcrafted fore/aft/lateral support accessories...
  18. So can a liberal application of freshly butchered chicken blood and muttering very specific incantations, but you'll need the Xray to confirm.
  19. I'm pretty sure the liability fine print on the back of lift tickets and plastered all over ski areas is rooted in the legal principle that "no one is innocent."
  20. Impressive degree of difficulty. But I’d way rather crash the drone than the bike…
  21. The credo of all the funnest snowboarders in history.
  22. Over time, unsupported gorilla nuts can wreak havoc on the lower back. Sacatica? Gonadosis?
  23. Quiet, you fool! Are you wishing to summon the ancient evil, @Beckmann AG, from its depths?!?
  24. This may have overtaken the original NordicTrak and rowing machines for top spot on the "most tedious workout" list.
