dingbat Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 looks like a Catek. What's the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshmero Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Look, this one's got Bomber uppers on it. They call it the "Ax + Bomber Tuning Kit". http://www.ax2004.com/front/php/product.php?product_no=422 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraph Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I think it morphs into a truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 looks like a Catek. What's the problem? +1 Interesting twin plate system. looks like a wider footprint than TD3, but I think I'd prefer the Japanese G-style system ('cause I like Nitros). Korean TDs & Japanese phoikas:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 looks like a Catek. What's the problem? Indeed it does. My mistake. I still dislike that design. TD2s have left me spoiled.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobD Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Check out the video... extreme skidding. I don't think they can actually carve a turn... From what I've seen on other videos, the Koreans are very good carvers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piusthedrcarve Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 There is another bindings from Korea calls, S5 Uniflex. I happened to meet the inventor of this binding when I was in Korea in year 2000. The guy was a ex-GS racer in Korea for years and started his business few years back, to manufacture prototypes strictly for racing. His office was actually machine shop with few desks at that time but he had a passion for alpine racing bindings. I didn't purchase his bindings (early version of this S5) but bought a Catek WC and Nitro 182 from him if I remember correctly.(I wasn't sold at that time for his prototype binding and still not sold yet :lol: ) But check this out.

piusthedrcarve Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Check out the video... extreme skidding. I don't think they can actually carve a turn... Check this video then. They are more into extreme carving than bomber style but.. they do carve well.. especially this guy in video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshmero Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Check out the video... extreme skidding. I don't think they can actually carve a turn... Yeah, it looks like they when their body hits the snow the carve washes out. On another note, why is the music so lame in so many carving videos? That's one of the things the soft booters and jibbers are getting right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpyride Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Yeah those guys carve just as bad as they do short track skating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sxybst90 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Yeah those guys carve just as bad as they do short track skating. really? cuz i am korean and i believe we got the most medals in that event? oh are you talking about that oh! no! guy? umm i believe he won like two lucky medals due to players falling here and there! and seriously? it's just a binding from Korea and why are we getting all racial with this crap? can't we just look at a binding and be like oh its a binding! and i prefer bomber style carving due to the fact it looks better than EC and some of them in the video do look and sound like they are skidding majorly..... hahahahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was definitely being sarcastic. I thought the Korean carvers were very good, and the Korean Short Track skaters are the best in the world. I figured someone that disparaged the Koreans might get the point, and I was calling them out for what looked racial. Sorry if you misinterpreted.

bobdea Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 well, I ate bulgogi. kim chi and bean paste soup for supper. I like korean food and korean women better. IMO, I really appreciate that the asian market is strong enough to justify them having unique bindings and even boots. it indicates that they love alpine enough to to make it worthwhile for vendors to produce and there. that's a good thing.

sxybst90 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 hahahaha sorry guys! i just had a lot of comment regarding the short track and its ridiculous so i guess i went over board with that! haha bulgogi and gimchi are my favorite hands down!! maybe next time if i go to SES i could bring some and we can have a little korean bbq party :eplus2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there was anything racial implied at all, just more of the ignorant EC bashing which is actually equal opportunity:AR15firin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
