Bullwings Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Back in the country. I'll most likely be up there this Sunday. Anyone else? I'll be trying out some of Aaron's old Burton race plates that he let me borrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissracer Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I may be able to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissracer Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Looks like I'm going to have to retract my previous statement. Summit will likely sell out of tickets early (like today) which means it's almost impossible to get employee passes. Besides, I'm still a bit under the weather, so I can use the rest:o However, if things change I'll be looking for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 sounds good, looks like another solo day for me... It'll probably be packed again and I'm going to have to leave early due to frustration... heh Ah well, the price to pay for living in SoCal. I'll keep an eye out for any other hard booters.

Arclite Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 albert, did you get to use the coiler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah, second day on it. I tried it with my TD2.5s and with Aaron's Burton race plates. I think I make have to buy those raceplates from him The combo of the board and the raceplates, wow. The board can turn arcs tighter than what i've been able to do before on a consistent basis, and is equally comfortable rocketting you out into the next turn if you jump on the tail a bit at the end. I'm happy. All I can say is quiver killer (3 boards that is). I have my rock board, I have the Coiler for everything except powder, and maybe the Tanker that I broke can still handle powder...

KingCrimson Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 We can try and work something out with plates if he doesn't want to give them up..I want to upgrade for my 210 pounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 yeah, my 145 lbs. doesn't really need stiff burly bindings I think I might have been better off buying F2 Ti race plates to begin with instead of TD2s, now upgraded to TD2.5s It's not to say that they're bad, I just think they might be overkill for me, and more than I really need.

AaronG Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hold on, still doing a bit of evaluating... I'm not ready to give up the TDs just yet. My legs are sore (more so than normal, and they weren't the last time up, with the same board but different bindings), especially my left (front) leg. I'm not sure if that's from turning tighter arcs on a more consistent basis or if it's because I'm on a 7* disk rear and a running flat up front, which is naturally putting me in a stance to transfer weight forward.

KingCrimson Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Those Burton pie wedges did that to me as well. Flat bindings make Theo happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yeah, I think I'm gonna try running flat this weekend, or maybe narrowing my stance a bit and moving my front binding back a little bit, or maybe both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
