I wish I had the easy answer to that one. I don't think Burton makes a cant that will work on a 4H. Off hand, I don't know if any company does. If anyone knows the answer then chime in. Might be a good time to search the site for such a topic, or start a new thread with cant options as the topic. Just for giggles, I tried lining up the 4H Burton discs on my Bomber TD cant/lift and they don't line up.

I've got 4 right now: Rossi 167 CM VAS race board, red white & blue (primary ride) Rossi 168 CM Throttle board (Just got it last week, was going to be a backup, but since my buddy is converting from the soft side, I'm going to hook him up for what I paid for it and sell it to him, and [shameless plug]I'm selling off his shorter carving boards that are unsuitable for him in the Bomber classifieds to help finance it.) Burton Supermodel 173 (Supermodels have been my PRIMARY boards for almost 10 years now, WITH plates, but since I'm riding back east now, I am keeping this board on hand specifically for out west powder riding) Burton 180 CM, right now I'm havign a brain cramp remembering if its a FP or UP. I intend on selling very soon, not riding. I like my Rossi Race VAS 167 for serious carving, and my Supermodel for powder and the like, but anything else is always open game for selling. I'm always looking locally to pick up a board or two and pass them along after tuning them up for minimal profit. When I flip enough of them, I'll buy a Donek and sell my Rossi 167. As much as I'd like to have 50, I'm trying to get the quiver down to 2 boards. It's bad enough I have 4 bikes and 3 surfboards.

Try classifieds on this site like Gecko said. But sometimes if you are looking on ebay you need to be creative with keyword searches, or be a litle more diligent in the searches. Its frustrating on eBay sometimes because there are usually hundreds of softboot bindings for sale for every plate binding you may find. Also, not all plate bindings for sale are being sold by hardbooters. Therefore, sometimes they have no clue what they are selling, and you need to take your time with a search. This may also be adventagious to the savy buyer, becasue he/she may be able to poach a pair at a low price. Also, what do you need, a 4H pattern (likely) or a 3D Burton pattern?(less likely) Here are a few on ebay right now that are used: (The first pair is mine I am selling,[shameless plug], but the rest are not mine) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21248&item=7116800237&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21248&item=7116424773&rd=1 these appear to have the 4H discs, but they are the oldest style of Burtion made: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21248&item=7116799827&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21248&item=7117169419&rd=1 This guy almost always has a brand new pair of Burton plates for sale: race plate: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21248&item=7117432681&rd=1 carrier plate: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21248&item=7116428312&rd=1 rental/demo race plate: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21248&item=7117434002&rd=1 Here's a another guy with race plate step ins for sale: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21248&item=7117250250&rd=1 So, that makes 8 pairs of plate bindings currently for sale on eBay, all with a price that is easier to swallow than the new TD's, and 4 of the choices are brand new!! Just make sure that if you NEED a 4H pattern, that those discs come with the Burton bindings, otherwise, you may need to hunt down a pair at a snowboard shop. I prefer the TD's too, but if you are on a budget, these choices will at least get you out there carving on the hill until you can afford them! Good Luck! -Chris

I guess I should have been more specfic. Is the throttle a softer or stiffer than the race? Is the sidecut radius about the same? Is the width about the same? I was wondering if they were basically the same board but with a different name and graphic. I can pick one up for about 150 with Burton race plates.

Heavy? Compared to what? :D I guess I'd have to shell out $$ for a custom that has stiffer flex? Actually, the supermodel is a big long freestyle/ freeride board, not an alpine board. Has a decent stiffness and decent sidecut for what it is, but night and day compared to a true alpine board. Although the Supermodel is narrow for a freeride board, it is wider than the Rossi. Reason I slipped in New England is because of the whole sidecut radius thing. I'm worried about being able to carve in/around traffic when necessary, and negotiating trails in New England can be typically narrower and winding to out west. Given the choice, I like going fast and corduroy. I need to get a better grasp about the right radius. I have no particular favorite spot. On my budget and time constraints, it could end up being Spore-Chusett a few nights a week, although on road trips I like riding in Maine and Northern VT.

Hi! I'm looking for opinions, I currently own the Race VAS 167 with TD 1's and like it. Of course, after coming off of (feel free to flame away!) Supermodel 173 with Race Plates and Burton Reactors, anything is an improvement! I'm 6'3 245lbs and hope to drop 20-25 lbs, and I know how to carve a turn. Now, I ride in the East (New England) .Unfortunately, right now, I only get to ride a handful of days a season, hopefully that will change in the future. I don't race. I've been carving for 15 years, skiied and raced another 15 years before that, and I'm purely a recreational carver. How does the throttle model differ from the race? The race model I have is red whiite and blue, and the throttle is a grapic that is primarily red. I was thinking about gettting the Throttle as a back up board, as I cant spring for a Donek quite yet to make the Race my back up board. What would be a decent choice in a Donek board?
