carvingchef Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I'm waiting for the first person to stack a TD3 on top of that sucker.why would you want to do thatThose look nifty! Can you please let me know the next time you plan to go to Mammoth? I would be VERY interested in trying these out with my soft set up:)i'm probably going to be in mammoth the first weekend of May, when i know for sure i will post it and i'll start a thread in the SO-CAL section, i know Neil wants to try them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I know the TD3 cant goes under it. I want one on top too, just for fun. It would be like a huge, inconveniently heavy, expensive, and pointless version of a Unicant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCrimson Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 You're putting it together. Hey, at least I didn't put softies on a VSR! ;) I have to wax up the baby Coiler and get it back to you.. I tell you, that board is CRAP in Colorado pow. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdea Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 It can't be because its a narrow race board, now could it? ;) no, it's because carvingchef owns it, just bad karma. ohh, wait, it's got bad karma now because Theo rode it and now he has to keep it, for free.

Miltie Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yo Fin, Very cool. I would order a set of these to replace the Uni-Cants under my Burton Custom Soft Bindings. Nice idea! Thanks! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvingchef Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 the Bomber Secret Plates (not so secret anymore) will make an appearance in Mammoth this coming weekend may 1st and 2nd anybody who is going to be there is welcome to try them, post a reply on this thread if you are interested http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=305118#post305118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Rover Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 the Bomber Secret Plates (not so secret anymore) will make an appearance in Mammoth this coming weekend may 1st and 2nd If I was out in Cali on Mammoth Mtn (I WISH !!!)...I would definitely like to give those things a try. Heretofore, I have never messed around with cant and lift and how it affects boarding. I've tried a friends skis a long time ago who had cants under his bindings to take care of his knock-kneed condition, I think.....didn't like those AT ALL....ha ha. But that a whole different kaboodle. What stance do you ride at with those canted and lifted plates with your softboots? 55? 60? I am wondering how they would feel at lessor angles like 30 or even 15. Having never ridden canted, lifted plates before...I am just wondering how they'd feel at my standard 15/5 stance. Wonder if it would be worse or better. I realize there is really no need for cant or lift when riding a wide board at those angles, but I'd be curious nonetheless. And of course I'd be interested in taking them to 55 deg with those new "SoftPlates" at cant and lift. I think my Jamie Lynn boots are tight enough to do it. I sometimes try 55 deg just on my regular set-up and I don't like it at ALL! feels unnatural. So maybe cant and lift is the key at those hardboot-type angles. Wonder if and when Fin is going to produce them...and for what price. How do you like those plate adapters so far...now that you've been using them for more than a month?

twelsch42 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Your mileage may vary: For me at ~25f/18r in softies, cant and lift were an absolute game changer. It gave me a much more effective platform for the transfer of energy; which changed my riding, for the better, across the board. disclaimer: I've never ridden these supersecretbomberplates only catek FR2's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if and when Fin is going to produce them...and for what price. How do you like those plate adapters so far...now that you've been using them for more than a month? keep in mind that cant and lift is a very personal thing but when you find what works for you i honestly believe it improves the ride, your stance feels more natural and you are more comfortablewhen i used those plates on the Coiler i left the base exactly the same as when i use hardboots (front 3 degree cant mostly toe lift, rear 6 degree cant mostly heel lift) but because i had the angles a little bit lower (50/45 instead of 57/52) there was slightly more inward cant and slightly less lift which felt good on soft-boots when i used the plates on the Razor my stance was half inch longer than my hardboot stance and the angles were 45/35 with similar set up (front 3 degree cant mostly toe lift, rear 6 degree cant mostly heel lift) and here is my logic when i ride in hardboots my front boot doesn't have any forward lean and my rear boot has some forward lean (thanks BTS) and i think most hardbooters have a similar set up but in softboots there is no lean adjustment on the boot itself so i used to have the rear softboot binding highback with more forward lean than the front binding, now that i use those plates i don't have any forward lean in the bindings highback (which gives me a better boot/binding fit) and i use the cant discs to give me the cant and lift combination that feels better for me (and it feels way better than before) like i said before, cant and lift is very personal and there is no magic formula that applies to everyone, you just have to experiment and find out what works for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ESPI Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 bomber soft boot system? I think a few eyes are rolling and groans from a few as that will mean the "purity of bootin" people will need to openly accept mushbooters on the forum and not a separate softy section.... Either way, I'd be down for a set of those plates also if available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piusthedrcarve Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Fin? Can we see these plates at BOL store this coming season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Absolutely! That is still the plan, to offer these this season. Might be a little later on in the season as the Plate project is keeping me busy right now. But do plan to have these available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futahaguro Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Now that Kieran pointed this out to me I wanted to put my name on the list as a buyer. Any progress on it? I'm sure it is at the bottom of the totem pole. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Same issue as a lot of the other smaller products, the Boiler Plate has taken over all my time. Plan is to still make these but it will be later in the season. Sorry for the delay folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
