[Prior 169 WCRM]

Time to thin out the quiver so my WCRM 169 needs to go. Other than marks by bindings and one tiny nick at tail from lift line this board looks new. No marks on edges or base. Never been ground. Sold Sold

[Base Grinds]

I like the workmanship at Kenmark. They've always done a great job on my skis and boards.

[Skwal Riders General Discussion]

How wide is the new BP cant disc? Would it work on a Skwal? Nice quiver Ace!

[The oldest board you are still ridding?]

One of my all time favorite soft boot boards, Salomon FRS, 2000?

[New to the hard boot community]

If you can find a Salomon FRS consider yourself lucky. It's one of my favorite all time soft boot boards, carves well and stable at speed. Only board that I've found that I like better is my new Coiler softy. Feels very similar to the FRS but with the benefits of metal and new technology.

[boots for boarding and skiing]

Best compromise boots that I've found are Full Tilt or Dalbello Kryptons. They are both pretty soft in forward flex yet stiff enough laterally to work well for skiing.

Found a link to a pic of the different bumpers.

I haven't had TD1's in a while but that looks like a bumper from the zero degree cant set of bumpers. Are both bumpers you have the same thickness? If they are then you have the wrong bumpers for a 3 degree cant disc. The 0,3 and 6 degree cant discs each had dedicated bumpers of different thicknesses.

How big a gap is there? Pics would help clarify.

[moldable linings?]

27 and 27.5 are the same shell size. Probably the only difference between them is that the 27's have a thicker footbed.

Not a BX board. It's a freeride board, softer and deeper sidecut than BX. Underhang is more of an illusion due to angle of pic.

[New New board porn 2012]

Something a bit different. Had Bruce build up a soft boot board for those days that I just wanted to ride in soft boots. It's a 164 with a 23.5 waist width. So nice to have little feet. Don't know yet whether to put a top sheet on or just leave it naked.

[Freeride (soft boot) carving gear advice]

I've been using C60's for a number of years and picked up some Diodes last year. I like the Diodes better than the C60's. So far the Diodes are my favorite soft boot binding. Not a fan of Flow's as I don't like how they feel when riding, anybody want a set of Flow Pro's, $20 plus shipping.

[Toe and heel lift and when to use it?]

Interesting discussion. I've found that when I ride a wider board and use shallower angles that I'm quite comfortable using no toe or heel lift, in fact I prefer riding flat. However when I'm on narrow boards and using steep angles there is no way that I can comfortably ride without heel and toe lift.

Personal experience is that stance angle needs to be considered when discussing flat or lift.

Flows are a s/m. Link to original post.

[Looking for a good pair of softies]

Have a set of Flow Pro FS's, $50 plus shipping.

[Soft Boot Binding questions]

If you liked the earlier C60's then check out the new Diode from Burton. Full carbon highback and I find them even more comfortable and nicer to ride than my early C60's.

If you want to try Flows I have a pair of Pro FS mediums for sale......cheap.

[Um... whats the big deal with northwaves??]

27 and 27.5 are the same shell size.

I found that the AF 700 and Krypton are close to the same in length for size 24 but the Krypton's are narrower and just a hair shorter than the AF 700's. The Kryptons are a 99 mm width so I'm guessing that the AF 700's are a 103 mm width. From my experience, I wouldn't downsize going from Raichle to Dalbello.

[Malamutes and Flows]

You can adjust the amount of forward lean on the high back but it isn't adjustable sideways. They are stiffer than my C60's but not as stiff as the Flow pro FR's.

[Malamutes and Flows]

Not sure as I'm not familiar with those boots. Based on the fit of my Burton boots in the bindings I'm guessing the size range would be 7-10 for an average volume shell soft boot. I find that soft boots can have considerable differences in shell volume for a given size.

[Malamutes and Flows]

Price reduction on the Flows. Boots are sold.

[Ideas? Help? Fastest/cheapest Shipping X-canada???]

Don't know if Greyhound is still the cheapest. They were the cheapest for shipping kayaks which are also large but low weight. In the past few weeks they've changed their cost structure and it's no longer cheap to ship a kayak. Don't know how the new pricing will affect snowboards.

I just shipped two boards from Ontario to BC and FedEx was cheaper than Canada Post.

[Malamutes and Flows]

Boots are yours.

[Malamutes and Flows]

I think they fit more like a 25 than a 25.5. Probably less than 10 days use. They're in very good condition.

[Malamutes and Flows]

My foot measures 25 and I wear track 700's in a 24 for hardboot. The Malamutes are a hair longer than the Track 700's. I'd say that the Malamutes fit true to a 25.
