Is there any info about bigger sizes for the supermatics? I'm a size 48 (32 MP) but I can't find any info about a possible XL size?
Thank you!
Sucks to be us, Godzilla. Nidecker / Flow takes their L platform and lengthens it a little for XL but inexplicably bloats the width by a ton, making for lots of lateral slop. The NX2s and Kaons, which I think the Supermatics are based on, both have the same aggravating footprint. I won’t make that mistake again…maybe.

Awesome. And a Franz Klammer cameo at 0:39 is the cherry on top.

I think they are confusing me with another famous YT person.
I really hope they aren't. I am excessively prone to east-coast style temper tantrums. Bad PR for any youtube personality they are confusing me with.
I mean. I do zero flatland tricks and I'm asian. It should be obvious....
And my tanker is not 30cm wide.
Maybe it wasn’t snowboarding videos the were talking about…

Don’t onesies reek when you take them off, especially after chile con carne especiale in the bar??? At least separate jackets/pants work as an over-pressure valve.

Vibra-TITE VC-3...
Searching "Vibra-Tite VC-3" on Amazon brought up some surprising results. Not only are my bindings now evidently safer but my pelvic floor is also rejuvenated. Thank you @lonbordin!

I think we have entered an alternative reality. I just heard " I wanna be your dog" as the music for a Russian Silver medalists figure skaters long program. That $hit just ain't right. Entertaining, but oh so wrong

Given the aftermath of the whole thing, could there have been a more appropriate song? Maybe she chose it as a thumb in the eye to her handlers but more likely they chose it as an unsubtle message...Either way, I'm disappointed she didn't go full Iggy and smear herself with peanut butter while rolling around in broken glass. Missed opportunity there.

I did as well. It was just a dumb thing to do.
And had she stuck it, she would have been the female Badass Jeff Brushie. And people would have emulated her. And then judging would have been added for tricks. Then direct racing would have been eliminated because it interferes with individual style. And then courses would have been shortened because it's not racing anymore. Ultimately, it would have turned into boring moguls skiing and no one would watch it. Every day, I give praise to God Almighty for causing Lindsey Jacobellis to botch that grab and keep snowboard cross pure.

Like “hubris,” it’s only “showboating” when s*** goes south.

Thanks..
I bought a pair of nidecker kaon-cx bindings... Good alternative to o drives.. Nidecker group owns NOW.
Bought the Kaon-CXs last year. Wanted to love them. Nidecker claims the chassis was built on the Flow platform, which might be great if you don't have giant landslappers. The XL for these and the Flows don't seem to add much length over the L but a ton of width so the boots slosh around laterally. And I broke one of the totally sexy and sleek carbon highbacks on the first day. Frankly, I'd have happily replaced the highback if the chassis wasn't designed for Babar the Snowboarder.
As a side note, the straps are fantastic and I managed to find a set to retrofit onto some Catek FR2s.

Are we sure that’s not Dana Carvey (no pun intended) doing an impersonation of Jerry Lundegaard from Fargo?

Raining on Ajax at 12,000 ft. at Midnight, in January, is a Wake Up call, that is alarming, after 50 something years here, it is quite obvious...
Yeah, I don’t know, man; the earth looks pretty flat from here…

Went Monday and Tuesday. Effin incredible. Fast, soft, tons of powder hidden away. Beaver is back on the menu, boys.
What board were you riding in the soft?

That went poorly. Trying a different angle here. Looking to experiment with step-ins. Found heels. Looking for the full Intec F2 binding setup, large. Or, I have a pair of standard F2s and could convert them with the right bits.

I'd like to lay down on it and check my personal camber. It definitely seems to be sagging as the years turn over.Dude, it’s not about camber, it’s all torsional stiffness. An anally inserted carbon stiffening rod may be the answer. At least that’s what Mario has been saying I should try.

Got me some brand new Flux XVs well in advance of opening day. They're working for me.
Any deeper musings on the XVs? I’m really tempted. I’d like to find a replacement for the Cateks but Rides, Nows and Flows have left me unmoved.

Checking my shorts when I got home revealed that i had not sharted, thankfully
I love that you waited until you got home to confirm. The true benefit of the white Sansabelts is that you don’t have to check, the evidence is obvious to everyone.

Took my 13 year-old daughter to desecrate @big mario's Yardland yesterday. We may have been the only people on that patch all day and it was sneakily fun. The ancient Wind God was sometimes benevolent (soft, filled in fields) and sometimes harsh (ice waves and crust) but I felt we were treated justly. Like any other day spent vandalizing the temple, it was great!
