  1. ALL GONE, thanks for the doe now I can lengthen my bike season just a little longer.
  2. I where an 11 shoe and I had the regular liners plus superfeet inside of them, no problems. I have a regular width foot but the shells have a lot of adjustability in them as far as how tight they can get.
  3. Not sure what your talking about, regarding the fix? But it wasn't broken to begin with so, no I guess its not fixed. The Cateks are not included they were sold separately, sorry.
  4. I have the following for sale; Donek FC II - $250 (length 175, width 19.5, sidecut 11.75) (SOLD) Head Stratus Pro 28.0 - $150 (BTS Kit installed with blue springs) I have both the orange and grey tongues and hard and soft soles to go with these boots. Their is also a Booster Strap installed on these. (SOLD)
  5. Board $250 plus shipping and boots $150 plus shipping, look at first thread for info on board and boots. $50 drop in both board and boots.
  6. Sorry the BTS and boots are a package deal.
  7. Yes it is still for sale. I am 6' and am also 195. The board is not a custom it just has a custom die cut graphic on the bottom. "Lose Your Mind" is the saying the use in the quite awesome ski school movie. The FC II is a little wider than the FC I and I think a little more stable. I ran pretty high angles around 65 - 70 deg and with 28 boots I never toed out. I think the 175 is a great board because you can make some pretty tight turns on it for smaller hills but it can also be laid out. The boots are nice, I have the softer tongue in them now and they work great. I do also have the stiffer tongues but I don't think you need it. I installed the BTS kit in the boots and they made a difference with the overall flex pattern of the boot, especially when pushing hard into a turn. The board is in great shape haven't even had to stone grind it, just a few nicks here and there. I did bevel the base 1 deg and the sides 2 - 3 deg. I carved along time ago, got out of it, then got this set up about 4 years ago to ride with a buddy. My buddy got a new job recently and everybody else I ride with is on a regular board so I am getting rid of it.
  8. Donek FC II 175 and Head Startus Pro 28.0 with BTS still available, waiting for a new owner.
  9. E-mail sent to you, an extra set for you, merry christmas.
  10. I have the following for sale; Donek FC II - $250 + shipping (width 19.5, sidecut 11.75) This board has been used but not abused. Probably has 45 days on it since I purchased it. There are a few scuffs and small chips out of sidewall/top sheet but all are very minor and the base is in excellent condition. This has a custom die cut graphic in it "LOSE YOUR MIND" Head Stratus Pro 28.0 - $150 + shipping (BTS Kit installed with blue sprigs) I have both the orange and grey tongues and hard and soft soles to go with these boots.
  11. My buddy and me both live in Duluth and are at Spirit a lot, we would be happy to help out. I used to teach snowboarding but only softboots, never tried to teach anybody on hardboots. I second the fact that Lutsen is not a friendly place to try and learn it's steep and usually cold and icy. In my opinion 4 pipe at Spirit Mt. would be the best run to learn on. Let us now if you are coming up.
  12. I am heading to Whistler on Feb. 15th and 16th. Any recommendations for some nice runs, I want to experience eternal bliss.:D
  13. How much do you weigh? What boots do you have? This happened to me on my HEAD boots with the BTS and blus springs. I put the stiffer tongue on the boot when I installed my BTS in case the springs were to soft. I expereinced shin pain on my back leg right away. I removed the stiff tongue for the softer one and the pain went away. I am 215, ride pretty agressive and use the blue springs on both top and bottom. I would also consider the booster straps as another member mentioned. I use the three strap version and they helped to snug everything up.
