  1. That WAS awesome.

    The day before cuban's arrival was cement all day- now that you're gone, Steve, it rained all night. Weather reports be damned, you make your own!

    Any Heavers out there that think you can't carve Ellie's on a 180 need to sign up with cuban-carving-better-than-gooding next Feb.

    What happened to Lower Stage on Sat morn was near criminal :eplus2:

    Paul, Dennis, Darren, Steve, Scott (Travis, Evan): Thanks for the groove.

    See you next year.

    I owe you a beer Scott.

    Cheers

  2. Yes i owned a pair (BURTON race 1999-2000 yellowish-green)and broke one binding around the disk area,and also another friend of mine broke bails 2 times!

    I'm nearly 200 lbs, fairly on it aggressively.

    No broken parts since the skiboot days (1999).

    If you're too tight they might break?

    I only use one hand to easily close bail.

    If you need two hands, maybe they're too tight and breaking?

    Light riders only on race plates is one of the biggest myths on this site.

    These are surfy bindings, if you're tightening them to mimic your TD's,

    Then you're too tight.

  3. I'm getting ready to list some 324's (LeMans).

    They're essentially new, less than 10 hours of use for sure.

    Molded once, They're 27's/ I wear a 11 street and am most comfortable in about a 28 mondo but with the molding these were fine. I just bought them for powder cause someone told me my indys were too stiff for that.

    Well I think they're too soft and I'm not using them. Ever. My Indy's are fine in the pow.

    Cheers

  4. Those are raceplates (check for screws on the toe/heel blocks- not rivets). The red bails have paint chipping off very easily so if they're all red you've got a pair with very low miles. Those binders are worth $100 all day long and have supported my 185-200 lb frame admirably for almost 20 years.

    Some prefer not to have the clear plastic (UV degradation?) I have many pairs of clear and solid plastic and haven't really noticed a difference.

    That board was totally badass in the late eighties just like my fave: the Kemper apex. These radical asyms require a bad heelside form- you kinda rocked back onto your heels with weight back for the heelside, then rocked forward on to toes for the toeside. I only use my asym in the pow now (Where it is actually quite agile)

    Cheers,

    Tim
