I have a pair of hardly used UPZ's in mp 27 you could have. The white ones.

I have a set of the original Bomber split bindings. You can have them for $125. plus shipping from Canada.

I have a Dynastar 163. Used about 4 days. It could use a good home.

I was in the singles line at the local hill the other day when I heard, "Alpine guy, hey alpine guy!" I thought, "well, at least he got it right", and turned around to see a ski instructor with four very young students in tow. "Like herding cats, eh?", I said to him. With a harried look on his face he asked me if I would mind taking a couple of the kids up the lift with me. I said sure, and then he says, "Please don't tell them that what you're doing is way cooler, I don't want to lose my clientele".

Love this ^^^

They mean the nose of the board is stiffer than normal. Board works well with hard boots and plates, but don't expect alpine board performance. I broke an ankle on one of those when I augured the nose into the snow by overloading it on a toe side turn. Have fun with it. Supposedly was Mark Fawcett's AM play toy in the day.

I got my bell rung the other day at the top of the hill. I was starting a slow heelside, and just starting to pick up some speed when a tiny kid on skis came into my line. Afraid I would squash the kid, I tried to tighten the turn and got my weight back on the board. Missed the kid but was locked in the turn and hit a wood fence with my head. Lucky the helmet and goggles took most of the impact along with my shoulder. I have a nice black eye and a purple shoulder as souvenirs, but the skull is intact. A really good thing I wasn't going any faster or I would have been missing some teeth as well. Always a helmet, always....

And while you're at it: back out the torx bolts on the tongue, cant adjusters, and the ratchet teeth and lock tite those. I neglected to do this and found myself minus a cant adjuster the other day. Makes the boots unrideable. Other than that I love the RC-10's. They hold my ankle and heel in place and leave room for my wide fore foot. Nice moderate stiffness too.

A little grom in the lift line today says, "Hey Dad, look at that guy, he's riding a RECTANGLE!" And THAT is how you describe a Coiler AMT 168.:D

Railin' without Failin'

Okay. Have fun out there!

You don't have the right bumper for the disk under your plate by the look of it. There are little marks on the bumper that tell you if it is for a 3 degree, 6 degree or flat disk. Maybe you have the bumpers reversed front to back? If you have the correct bumper there would only be about 1/16" of space depending on the angles of your plates

You must have TD1's right? Depending on the angle of the plate on your disk you can get some gap between the bumper and your board. I used to use a large diameter stainless washer or two to take up the space. Let us know how you do next time out!

Got one on the way. Thanks!

BOMBER>>> You'll Have A Blast!

A definite candidate. What a shame to rip up all that rideable terrain with a sled.

:lol: That's just too sensible

go for the 26. I believe the shell size goes 26-26.5, so a 27 liner might be a painfully tight fit.

What Jack said. Ride your soft set up to get the muscle memory back. Set your binding angles on your plate set up as low as you can without a lot of toe/heel overhang. Start your turns before you pick up a lot of speed from the fall line--that's what is meant by carving the downhill edge. Your turn starts before you are heading downhill. This will help keep your speed in check....and patience grasshopper. Give yourself a chance to get used to those boots.... Leave the high speed ice carving for your 2nd day:D You're gonna love it!

Mmm same as mine. It's a really fun board. Quick and smooth as silk. If I didn't have one I'd be on it. Somebody buy this. Madds are like real estate--they don't make it any more!

What colour are the sidewalls on your Madd?

Order is in, now hopefully USPS comes through:biggthump

They look great. I'm lining up at the cash register!

I have the same board in the 158 length. $175 is a great price for this board. It is a really nice ride.

I guess it's a bit of a crap shoot. I've bought quite a bit of stuff and had it shipped up here to Canada and never had a problem. Usually USPS Air is trouble free, but I guess that's not going to work for boards. I have found that UPS "expedited" is code for "we'll rush the paper work and charge you for it later".
