kawiboy Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Well, my board will be ready mid to late Jan so I'll keep everyone posted. I'm gonna "attempt" EC on my Prime with the new boots and modified binding settings/stance and see where that gets me until mine is done. What are opinions on Carve Co Speed binding vs F2 Titanium Race binding? I'd at least be able to convert the F2 to Intecs at some point if I choose to. Then if I just can't EC as well then I'll switch em back to regular bail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technick Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 If you have troubles with EC, it wont be because of the Intecs! ;) There are dozens other things that you can do wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawiboy Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Haha, Oh, I'm sure that would be the case. Let's hope I don't suck at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if I just can't EC as well then I'll switch em back to regular bail. I rode Burton Race Plates then Carve Co. bindings for 20+ years primarily because they allow a good amount of lateral flex, which lets you move around and get in an optimal position for hard carving and EC. After a conversation with Bruce about bindings a couple of seasons ago, I tried the F2 Intec bindings, and found them as laterally flexible as the Carve Co. bindings, and I absolutely love them now. An advantage of the F2 bindings is that you can set them up with heel/toe lift but without canting, which for me is optimal. I know the Euro EC guys preach flat bindings, but I tried that and found that unless I had my boots uber-loose, I couldn't get into a good, relaxed body position to carve aggressively. Front toe lift, rear heel lift and no canting (to keep knees apart) works great for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawiboy Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Well, that's an answer I was looking for, haha. Are you running the Intec Titanium or RS? I've been told I need the Titanium due to my 205 lbs which totally makes sense because of the plastic RS. Is the heel/toe lift an adjustment within the binding itself or would I need to purchase the heel/toe lift kit? This may also help with my UPZ boots having the supposed higher heel ramp. I don't need burned out quads midday. Also, I've read that I should definitely get the FinTec heels vs the F2s due to durability and reliability? ie. the F2 Intec heels have more of a tendency to stick. However, with Bomber's current situation I'd have to find them elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Intec heels and have had no problem with sticking. The ability to click in on the fly is a huge benefit, especially if you're riding with skiers. What Technick said about the lifts. Hey Technick, my little girls think my Tintin Coiler is the coolest they've ever seen. Thanks again for the awesome design! :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawiboy Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Well I have a few things in mind. And already have pics/graphics I've pulled from the internet. How much do you charge? I'd have to of course talk to you off of Bomber. But that'll take time off of Bruce's hands.
