I am on my 5th pair of SG binding from gen 1 to current gen and never had this issue even in -15 deg C weather.
Are you able to tighten all the 4 bolts? You don’t have to do this but I always tighten my bolts to 2.8Nm.

Frank never show scr so I have no clue but here is the width from nose-mid-tail waist:
31cm-26cm-30cm
I have ridden many Virus boards and the turning radius is all dependent on how I ride it. Press the nose and it turns like slalom board and if I ride the tail, it rides like GS board. One of my friend went through tight trees on this board and no problem but if you want to open it up, it can up to certain radius.
please let me know

Hey Yami,
That would be a shame if JJ makes his boards proprietary to only use his plates. To me it looks like a UPM will Also fit. Does JJ state somewhere you can only use his plates?
Curious, can you measure the distance between the upper and lower outside inserts.
The standard distance on my UPM boards is around 18 inches
The measurement from most inner inserts from upper to lower one is 57cm. And they are 15cm apart from side to side (measurements are done center to center of inserts)

When I was talking to him about it as the shape of the board is custom and he told me then that inserts only fits his plate as it was extra to place extra inserts.
i can measure for you once I get back from out of the country

Hmm......the Plate option caught my eye....... it looks like this JJ board will take a UPM Plate....yes/no??
Yami your description and the waist, length and scr sound like a K168....you got any experience with the K168 to compare the two?
The plate inserts will not fit UPM as those plate inserts are for his own plate system.
I got no experience with K168 but quite similar I am guessing but nose isn’t as carvey as K168 (8-12m for K168). One thing I can say about this board is that unlike typical race board SCR, the board has smaller SCR at the tail than middle part so it has good hook to it. It likes to finish turn easier than race board.

I got old Virus storm with, I think 17cm waist. Same as gladiator. In addition to swallowtail that I posted earlier. Now I'm thinking if two new boards for the season is enough.
I feel like it’s never enough
you are more than welcome to try my BD and Cyborg anytime you visit CO

@yamifumiseems that you go more narrow year on year! Looks great that board!
I actually have board that has 14.5 width (Virus Cyborg 181 Hypercarbon).
narrow boards are super fun
and I love being more forward stance. Last season went from “18cm? No way” to “man, I love 15cm!”. just ask @b.free

@yamifumithat's almost a skwal. You'll need a little bit of outward canting at those binding angles.
I actually have inward cant with lift on the front bindings and just a heel lift on the rear (i usually ride with inward cant and heel lift on the rear but I got rid of Inward cant on the rear for these narrower boards). I do have just enough outward cant on rear boot to not have boot pressure.
i never liked the outward cant on bindings even with narrow board.

Board shape: Is it worth going as narrow as you can?
in Carving Central
Posted · Edited by yamifumi
This guy will carve anything, I see it every week
And it is a spectacle. If he can ride 15cm board with MP29 then most can. But again, it all comes down to the preference.
@b.freewas the one who convinced me to try narrower board and now I am all into skinny board. My board varies: 14.5, 15.5, 16, 18 but I ride 15.5 and 16 95% of the time.
If you asked me 2 years ago, 20cm was the minimum I would have gone but now I am not going back more than 18cm.
now riding the narrow board exclusively and I love it so … yes it is worth a try! For me, 15-16cm is the sweet spot. I modified my front boots as well on my MS boots: B shell at Mondo 26
p.s. If you are ever in CO, you can always try my narrow boards that is not in use
