  1. 3 and 4 hole aluminum discs? I'd be interested in a set of each.... Not to mention toe/ heel blocks and a full set of bails.
  2. What are you looking to get for the F2? Oh, and I'm in SLC.
  3. Any of you folks switching to Intec have a set of replacment standard heels? Looking to replace a set of very, very worn 325 heels. I'm also very interested in a set of the Bomber Urethane heels if anyone has a set.

    Alp 163 Freecarve

    Working on finding my camera cord, but I'll forward (and try to post) tonight.
  5. Looking for a freeride board 168-175 ish for my brother in law. Looking for cheap, decent shape. Oh, and I could toss in a 164 alp as trade fodder... Thanks, E
  6. I have a Burton Alp 163 for sale. Shoot me an offer with whatever its worth to you.
  7. I "raced" for Tilton in NH several moons ago (err, 97 and 98 seasons?). In reality it was a ski team that let the snowboarders show up and helped schedual races for us with other New England schools. Other schools had coaching staff, our coach was a skier The team dissolved, but I was under the impression it came back a few years ago...?
  8. "Dynafit, hardboots for people who like to leave the resort" Koch pioneered a technique where he stops on 60deg terrain, sticks the ice ax, tosses in an ice screw, puts one crampon on his rear foot, and uses the board, crampon and ice axes to down climb glare ice. At that point its arguably no longer a "snowboard decent", but he's damn more ballsy then me. He also rides tiny freeride boards, but he doesn't weigh much and carries the damn things very, very far. Oh, and he rides on Burton race plates.
  9. I let the board tell me what to do, hence a love affair with Cateks. Generally more heal lift on the rear then toe lift on the front, and generally no cant. Freeride/ pow I usually run flat, race boards usually lift as above. On the 200 AM I use a little bit of inward cant on the front and a bit more toe lift then usual. Stance runs between 19.5" and 21.5" with a 32" inseam, seemingly with little bearing on cant or lift and more on "sweet spot" and insert pattern. I have pretty straight legs, and my feet point pretty close to straight ahead in a neutral flat footed stance.
  10. Last week- rocks. This week- 2 days of frehies and counting. The sky is 3 days of 7-10" isn't to shabby. Oh, and neither is getting paid for 3 out of 5 days on the hill so far.
  11. Lest we forget Stephen Koch: http://www.jimmychinphotography.com/everest_north_face_snowboarding_expedition/000151.htm But he rides for Cloudveil. Lifelink sponsors both of em though. Life Link, who up through this season have also done Dynafit, hardboots for people who like to leave the resort.
  12. http://www.thenorthface.com/media/athletes/img_at10_2.jpg Riding big mountains in TNF gear for some time. He's survived some big stuff, and I read an artical that two skiers from his party were lost on a big mountain. Play safe kids.
  13. Purchased for the bindings, now it needs to go to a beginner, someone looking for a freecarve/all mountain ride or a good board for early season "snow". The board had one pin hole in the base that has been professionally filled, and has a few puckers in the top sheet I assume are from binding screws that are also professionally filled. I would put this up as a functional cosmetic "second". Overall the board looks to be in really solid shape. I'll wax and brush with an all temp before shipment. Best offer, preferably cash, but I am looking for a BTS system, Bomber heels and toes, decent level bindings, and assorted other goodness. :D Thinking the $100 range?
  14. There is enough snow up at the canyons. Snowed all day.
  15. The pre-release is not for sale (though that may change). The bindings are sold, but the Alp (164) remains. OBO.
  16. Burton alp 164 FS- Small pin hole in otherwise flawless base and marks on top sheet, presumably from bindings. Both will be professionally repaired before shipping. $120 Shipped Burton Adjustable race plates, stout, with a bit more built in rise then standard race plates. $60 shipped in the US. Buy both for $160 shipped, just in time for Christmas (or what ever gift giving season you dig).
  17. I'm still a die hard tall cuffed hard booter, but this stuff is cool if you swing that way: http://talk.splitboard.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=664&highlight= http://talk.splitboard.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=1713&highlight= http://www.biglines.com/photos_large.php?photo_id=42741
  18. My AT boots (Crispi Diablo) are taller and stiffer laterally then my snowboard boots (Raichle 325). My issue with lower cuff hard boots is that they are either way to soft (mountaineering boots) or stiff enough to cause real issues at the boot cuff top. There is a call for a splitboard binding with a mountaineering boot lower and a soft boot upper for work in strap or hybid bindings (but not high back less plates). I'd reather just go hard boots, but if you are interested, check out the boots threads at splitboard.com
  19. Not sure if you are still looking, but I have a set of Burton adjustable race plates. Can be sold with 3 and 4 hold discs need be. In good used condition. Very stout. $60 shipped in the US.
  20. What kind of footbed to you have? I have had achiness along the bottom of my arches since I was a softbooter, but it can defiantly be worse in my hardboots. I used a Comformable semi-cutom footbed that helped more then the Downunders I was on, but didn't sure it. I just purchased some Surefoot fully customs, and hope that helps with the rest. I do think overtightning my boots has been a problem, especially over the arch for me. Are you using Intec? I found them harsher on my heels. Another option might be the Bomber urethane heel and toe pads for a little extra give. How long have you been hard booting? I find that it gets better over the season as my feet get stronger.

    Catek OS 1 short plate

    If you are interested in selling the non-step in blocks, bails and levers, i might be interested. Shoot me an email if you are.
  22. Gath surf helmets- as seen at the first Expression Session many moons ago. gathsports.com I'm sticking with my Bern.
  23. Blax? Just about anything, though some AT boots may need to be modified in the lugs. Raichle, Burton, Proflex, Head, Blax, etc. should all fit.
