Photo of Volkl plates please? Not sure if I have ever seen their plates?/QUOTE]
Volkl plates were OEM from Phiokka, my pair had Volkl logo in center, with "macho" "by Phiokka" on the perimeter of the center plate.
Heavy duty CNC milled aluminum, much stiffer than Burton's.

Sorry, in the meanwhile, mine have sold.

on fleabay since there was no interest when I posted them here.
Mine are Intuition, not Deeluxe, though.

Pictures!

The width of the AM boards is helpful for many people, and they are still useful members of the quiver as you progress.
The characteristics of boards that were helpful for me in my first turns were width, softer flex and taper.
You might also look at Prior's ATV deck.

you are referring to the 'set screw' for the toe lever? The hole on the underside of the the toe lever for a small plastic screw?
you could call Burton Rider Services Dept. and ask them
(800) 881-3138
they might send them for free

ALPINE SNOWBOARDING
IF I WANTED TO RIDE SOMETHING EASY I'D CALL YOUR GIRLFRIEND
hahahahaha that's f*(#in awesome
How about: "Old Guys Rail" and you rip off the Old Guys Rule graphic but replace the surfboard with an alpine board.My vote definitely for these 2!!!
-
The board will feel "grabby"...especially on edge. You can see this for yourself by riding on the snow with sun shining directly on it on a warm day and then hit a shaded spot...in the shade you'll imiediately pick up speed and the grabbiness will lessen a good bit.

Cold wax isn't good on anything warmer than the temperatures it's designed for. It definitely makes the board grabby and sticky.- this is exactly why I was asking! So, the grabby sensation is from the wax being too 'cold' for the sunny snow? And err on the side of warm, and just wax more often?
thanks for your great info!

What would be the drawback to using a harder (ie colder) wax them the temp might call for?
Most of my trips involve a fair bit of driving, so my hot wax goes on a day, a week, before I ride. So there's no way to predict what temp I should use.
thanks

Those are 'Performance I Plates', circa 94/95
I have a set of Performance II plates, and the owner's manual (which covers both) does not give a boot size range for them. But I think they'd fit a 25.5.

PM sent

I'll take 'em!
-
a little unfair to soak up both pairs...
-
My Intuitions say "Designed in Canada"
Ultralon foam is part of Ultralon Products, out of Christchurch, New Zealand, of all places.
-
Ok thanks, sounds good.

I will happily take the silver pair! They are for SB series, right?
Let me know how much cash and karma to send. :)

AFAIK, ask nicely, and they will send them for free. I've gotten a few sets from them. Not sure if this include Canucks...
They have a vested interest in riders continuing to use their gear (market share)

I have pictures of the leg, but didn't want to post them since they kinda gross.
POST THOSE PICS !!
I, for one, want to see. I've seen lots of "bad" xrays and it's still interesting to analyze the fracture in terms of the forces that we apply to our skeleton.
Seriously, I wish you a fast and uneventful recovery.

If anyone has a set of the top straps that come on a lot of ski boots -
a pair they don't need - please let me know
Most of my friends Salomon, Nordica, etc boots have a non-elastic webbing & velcro strap to cinch the top of the liner tight against the liner tongue.
p.s. I do not want Booster Straps, either regular or Race. I want NO stretch.
-
fracture doesnt show up for a few weeks? bull****.
another medical system failure. bummer.
hope you heal well!
Hate to say it, but plain xrays miss a significant number of nondisplaced fractures. Not visible. You did the right thing - if it still hurts then:
repeat xrays >>> CT scan >>> MRI
is the order of investigation.
It is not a "medical system failure"
this is not meant to be provocative - but everything has limitations.
And CT is a sh*tload of radiation. "How did I get leukemia?"
...just thoughts...
