Raisputin Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 image deletedAnother shot of the innovative space age spacing system ;) what is that???? Anyway, Nice too see there are some asym aficionados in the North America , I thought I was the only one left inthe world:eplus2: That fancy little thing is the "Kickerfoot " system. I can't remember where I saw it originally, but I contacted the guy and talked to him about it a bit. He sent me a pair or two and I rode them on my soft setup all last year. I demoed out the second pair to any of the other instructors that might like to give them a try and from the feedback *I* received everyone thought they were great and wanted a pair. Don't know if anyone actually bought any or not, but they sure make a wide stance more natural and comfortable. They are pretty nice and give me some cant on the soft setup. I never had a problem with them and with my "innovative space age" Bottlecap mod (LOL, it really is the lid off of a Diet Pepsi) it makes them fit correctly on my Drake bindings. Planning on some Catek FR2's for the new soft setup this year and keeping the kickerfeet on the old soft setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binding angles under 45 and Asym starts to make sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dano Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 "Now, the Asym Air, that board ruled. Binding angles under 45 and Asym starts to make sense!" Does that apply to backwards heel-first carving or for carving regular foot when you are goofy, or vice versa? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carverboy Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Wow, this realy brings back the memories, I still have two hot logical 155's (goofy) and a 163 Race stock logical (massive camber) My first Asym was a kemper Apex 160 then a Burton PJ 156(not sure on legnth) Big step up from the kemper but lost it's camber mid season Ponyed up 600 dollars for a hot logical155(first of 3) broke a oxygen KR (that tail cut was way to severe to bear loading up on hard pack) Demoed the agression stealth(way narrow, way asym!) Remember riding a friends Asym Air(great board) had a F2 Beamer (way asym!) I have never been able to lay out and drive from the"back seat" on a sym board like I could on the logicals! took one out again a few years ago and could'nt even ride it:(! My Symetrics are just that diffrent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFluff Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Here is my PJj6. I would use it more if it were a bit more stiff. <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f400/jonjansen15/pjwall.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> But I am still riding the original variplates, minus one toe clip and bail that were replaced. You got to love the longevity of these bindings, they have been tortured. <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f400/jonjansen15/Variplates.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpyride Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 First Asym was an Alp 149, and it was a gas. Unbelievable fast edge to edge, although way to narrow in any fluff. M5, and still a bunch of fun, and still have a Burton 157 Factory Prime unused. I liked the way they performed, and couldn't figure out why there so dissed.

kipstar Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Lacroix NidaflyExcellent condition, thanks Ken!! That lacroix is a nice looking board; nearly bought one but the price in NZ back in the day for Lacroix was double everything else, not sure why. Oldsnowboard; the board you might like to see (if I can arrange a pic) is my brother's Moss from Japan. It is an asym with a moderate shift, but what made it unique was even in 1991 (the year it came out) it was only 19.5cm waist. At the time, it seemed so crazily narrow and stupid. Of course....now we know better :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealely Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Lacroix NidaflyExcellent condition, thanks Ken!! for sure, topsheet looks much nicer than, my Lacroix Flyover but still my favourite remains the Eaglerace:1luvu: BTW which Lacroix board are they using in hard attack?

They appear to be one of the dominate Japanese snowboard companies. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
