  1. Eric Brammer aka PSR is a BOL member and IIRC he is and/or was an instructor at Stratton Mt in Vermont. You could try to PM him to see if he is still instructing.
  2. Wow, this sounds pretty awesome folks! If I were in the PNW, I would soo be into this experience! Or if I were in a financial situation where I could join in on the fun, I would soo be into that too! $199 for a snowcat trip!!! Come on, that's a no brainer!!! Enjoy! Make some trenches for me!!!
  3. Hi Diana, Zoltan has a pair of Intuition Powerwrap Liners in a size 23mp up for sale in the for sale forum. You'll have to contact him to see if they are still available. His posting is from Sept 30th, so you'll have to dig back to page 3 in the for sale forum. Hope this helps, Jeff
  4. I too just joined! Probably won't log on many miles this season, but should be fun next summer!
  5. What's wrong Jean-Luc Michaud...technological faux pas giving you a headache!!!
  6. You know, when I started carving, I too would run my bindings centered on the effective edge of the board. But at some point, I started to install the bindings centered on the inserts. I don't if I had talked to carvers/friends or the manufacturers, but it made it easier just to install centered on the inserts.
  7. wubba, wubba, wubba, eh? Is that the technical term used to describe a board that has died! Lol! It's weird, my metal board I just can't seem to angulate the board up on edge.
  8. I just finished the cable last night, but that's a good question Corey. I haven't done the heel/boot test yet. I will follow up after I install it in my heel/boot to see how it works/feels.
  9. Well, here is my first attempt at making myself a replacement Intec cable. As you may be able to notice, the one I made is on the bottom. I used a thicker cable from bicycle derailleur shifting cable set. It's 4...almost 5mm thick, so I am concerned it may be too thick and irritate my ankle bone while riding, so we'll see. I still need to fine tune the cable ends. I haven't soldered them in place yet, I just hammered them onto the cable for now. Not sure that will be strong enough, so I want to solder them on before the season. So, what do you think?
  10. My Bad! TD2/TD3 0* cant discs. I also have some 6* cant discs for the TD2/TD3 bindings at similar pricing...if interested.
  11. I'd really like to sell these boots! Anyone for $100? I hope so!
  12. It does look cool! Silly question...what did you use for paint?
  13. Hopefully we didn't bombard you with too much information! And welcome to riding on the edge and to Bomberonline!
  14. Someone buy these boots before I do! These are great boots for an experienced rider too! I have a pair of these exact boots!
  15. Sorry PhilB, I've already sold these boots. I should have posted that they were sold.
  16. I think Surf Quebec nailed on why to have toe/heel lift...allows a wider stance. Another way to look at canting is to figure out if you are bow-legged or knock-kneed. If you are bow-legged, you may want to consider an inward canting. And conversely, if you are knock-kneed, you may want to consider outward canting. Forum, correct me if I'm wrong, maybe vise versa. But most people start with 3* front toe lift/3*rear heel lift and 0 canting on either binding. Nice neutral place to start.
  17. pokkis, I am not aware of this quick lock. I'm intiuged! Do you have a picture?
  18. Now that's what I'm talking about Corey!!! That sounds like it'll be a fun little project!
  19. Anyone have any ideas on how to Mcgyver/make a new Intec cable? Going through my box of goodies, I found out that I have 2 Intec heels, 2 handles and 2 handle clips...but only ONE Intec cable! DOH! First instinct is that I can just go to a local bicycle shop and get the inner cable, outer housing and the 2 outer housing end ferrals. Easy Peasy! But there are 2 potentional problems with this fix. 1) Most bike brake cables are 5mm thick and most derailleur cables are 4mm thick. The Intec cable is 3 mm thick...of course! Minor issues with using the thicker cables are they won't fit into the Intec handle and I may notice the thicker cable against my ankle bone while riding. 2)More importantly though, is that the Intec inner cable is of a specific length...AND very importantly...it has a specific stopper at either end of the cable permanently fixed onto the cable! Now, I know most universal inner cables obviously will be long enough, and have 2 different styles of cable stoppers, again permanently fixed onto either end. On one end, it'll be a brake lever "barrel" stopper that should work as the anchor in the heel assembly. And I believe on the other end of the cable will be another type of anchor that would work in a derailleur shifter that "might" work as the handle anchor. The problem is that once you cut the inner cable to length, you will lose one of the anchors needed. That seems to be where my problem exists. Any thoughts? What have people done out there that is cost effective?
  20. I have a pair of blue TD3 e-rings that I was wondering if anyone is willing to trade for a pair of yellow e-rings. Let me know, and thanks!
  21. Hi All! Up for sale is a pair of Raichle AF600TS boots in very good condition! They are a size 30mp, standard liner with no footbeds, standard heel pad and 5 position lean adjusters. Asking for $150 shipped. Offers also considered!
  22. Yeah, I know, stupid question. Of course a board can die. So, maybe better question- What would the ride characteristics feel like if a board died or didn't feel or ride right? Now people, don't take this as bashing the manufacturer...cause I'm not. Back in 2007 I think it was, I bought myself a first generation Donek Metal board. A GS172 I think it was. Now, I don't ride alot and I'm not a very aggressive rider these days. But it seems to me that the trails that I normally ride on, I am struggling to get this board up on edge. I also have an old Donek RC167GS that I have that I have a ton of fun on and don't seem to be having difficulty getting up on edge. Is it me, or can a metal board lose it's ride characteristics and feel dead?
  23. Is there a way to remove a thread that I started on this new version of the forums? Just curious! Thanks
