EZE saw ya from the chair in the slow bowl after the thaw out... Your partner on the Free heal stick kicks A##. How do you carve bumps with one stick and two poles??? Thats cool. I'm still tryin to recruit more for 3/2. Bob J. you should flex the big Bomber muscle and get some of the WA WA chusett crew to join us. We are just over the border.

Great timing on this post. I was just trying to decide if I should go with a set of X-bones or another set of Cateks for a new board. I'll spend the extra $150 for the real deal. Good to hear you came out without a reason for a law suit.
I would check them after each run also. I put new ones on last year and it took all day to seat them. The set screws work into the aluminum plate as you ride. I tightened the hell out of them when I first mounted them and as I said after a couple runs they were loose. Great bindings though.
WOW great carving. What a crew, can't wait to get out with you guys ( that is a unisex guys not to leave Kathy out cause she Rocks) again. I'm in for the next one.

Kinda OT but nice bike! I think I saw you race the track last season. Haven't seen you at Sunapee yet. You ridein' this weekend? 1/7, 1/8? Not many weekend carvers up there.
I've had Flows since the day of the Meatball and the sperm logo (those that know Flow know what I mean) and have Never had a failure. I taught in them the last three years and would never ride anything else on a soft setup. And come on with the straps not breaking on other bindings. Look down in the snow on any day with below zero temps and the slopes are littered with them. I've sent dozens of lessons back to the rental shop for replacement straps each year. I know rentals are a bad example but they aren't the only ones that are in the shop. I'd swear by my Flows (if you can't tell). Nothing holds you to the board as solid and comfortably.
I talked to someone that was there on friday and said not much open. Only one way down for the most part and Superstar wasn't even all open. The big K is liberal with what they call a trail, check the maps and see if 50 is more than 3 ways down and if they connect.
So I guess the $529 I paid for the Sunapee/Okemo/Stratton season pass (with the big 14 block out days) isnt all that bad. Sunapee had three from the top last Sunday and it was pretty good snow. Hope to hit Okemo this Sunday and Stratton next Friday.
