Jack M Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 After spending many many days on plates with no reprieve I rode plateless for the day on some nice comfy soft snow and what a pleasure it was not to have that much "more" to horse around. I don't think soft snow will ever be a suitable riding medium for plates. My feet felt light and agile under me and it was a plasure to be able to pedal in the softness. Think Snow! I'm not at all surprised that on soft or hero snow where it is easy to carve anyway, a plate is simply not necessary or even a handicap. However what about when that soft snow gets rutted or pushed around into piles? Did that happen to you? @Shred - LOL :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euros = 657.087 CAD UPM mount 19.5 stance Carbon Fibre http://www.snowboardplate.com/SnowboardPlate/Welcome.html Yeah. Looks pretty nice. But after shipping and whatever else you're darn close to a Boiler, which will give you more stance options and the 4x4 option. Boiler looks lower too.

sabestian Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 http://www.snowboardplate.com/SnowboardPlate/Welcome.html Looks like they slide stainless on aluminium. Not convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boiler looks lower too. and...I don't like the idea that the axles seems to be drilled into the plate (european model), where the BBP axles are mounted seperately from the plate in their own housing.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 SG plate system: Looks low, clean and simple! Looks like the set of pivots further away in the photo have the sliders. It will be interesting to see the SG methodology. Thanks for the photos Hans.

nekdut Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'm a believer. Rode the Donek system this afternoon in 8-12" that fell the night before and had a morning's worth of packing down, which meant chunks galore. Wow. Seriously WOW. I could carve, scarve or just mess around with very little of the crap making its way up to my legs. Plate systems are seriously a GAME CHANGER. This was on a 166 Coiler Stub 13.2m. I am sold. Can't wait to try this on other boards, and try Fin's version too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekdut Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'm curious how it would feel on a real SL board, but all of my shorter sticks are too wide for this plate. Anyone try it out yet? It looks like many Kessler and SG SLs have some sort of plate on there. I'd really like to see what this does to a Madd 158, but all of the plates out there appear to be too wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger jr Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I haven't been able to find the specs for the Donek Plate, height, weight, width, ect? Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gilmour Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Sure. I have a lot of catching up to do in snowboarding :)Not in business however ;) Good that this is not what you meant. I am overly sensitive as far as outsourcing to Asia from the USA. You see? ... and I am not even American while wanting to protect some qualities here :) Thank God that Fin, Sean, Chris, Bruce and Jeff did not came with the idea, but survived somehow. OMG "M" is back......first Jersey shore...now Jersey Carving.. Do us a favor ..knock up Snookie once and for all.... you can post anything after that.
