Dr D Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 hell of a riser plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 looks like a helluva 200$ snow trap to me, 1 run in dense snow would negate the dampening effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvin29 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 This is really intriguing- I've been looking for something to dampen my ride. Only problem is paying 240 then not liking them. If anyone's tried em I'd like to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone's tried em I'd like to hear. Try the Palmer PLS shocks, they can be had on ebay for about $60. I like them alot, dampen quite a bit and give you a 1 cm rise or so. http://www.palmersnowboards.com/palmer/en/pages/bindings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gleb Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 are those really worth the money for hardboots? Or is it better to just go with the S-Flex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 It's interesting but I'd need to see more pictures, exploded views, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I've emailed them about a demo and never got a proper response there are other threads on this forum speaking of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good point. Not such a great idea with the block bindings. Somebody posted them in the hard core board thread, but they were using Burtons as I do. Edit: I stand corrected, Ursle is the one that posted it and he is using Cateks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursle Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 The pls is 5/8th's tall, the studs are titanium, never had a problem, the kessler lifts are 1" tall, excellent sturdy studs, if you hit something hard enough to sheer the pls studs, well, better them then your ankles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terekhov Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 the way the screws work on the palmer plates kinda scare me, I don't think running them under a stiff plate like bombers or cateks is a good idea. seems like there is a increased chance of shearing there. for some 4 years I use PLS classic under catek OS and now under TD2 occasionally riding wide boards and swallowtails. this is after I delam fr donek some years ago in mellow carving with OS1 on them... I'm 90kg and pretty aggressive and strong. can recommend this to all when you need to drive some questionably strong board with strong legs and stiff binders - thinking about ~50 days in those years, and no problems yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
