I’v had around 5 days on this board so far and like Mcdonalds “Im luvin it” Its a burton so ya you gotta cut through the middle inserts, but hey finding the middle is as easy as eyeballin the insert 156 burton dragon Gotta poxy up those inserts cause p-tex just pulls out all done :clap: :scratch: Never thought this would happen but splitboarding has turned me into a cross country skiier 😆 March 9, 2012 at 2:56 pm #653099 Huck Pitueee 145 Posts That looks fun skiing the Tahoe shore. Nice n flat guaranteed.

I like the old cranks and custom fenders? March 10, 2012 at 7:41 pm #653103 aksltxlt 621 Posts yeah Huck! Im all about restoring garage sale bikes, Right now I got way too many at my place. I live practically on the bike path so riding a bike anywhere in south lake on nice days is the only way to go. Here is my burton splitty from the start of last nights full moon split mission!

March 13, 2012 at 1:12 am #653108 aksltxlt 621 Posts Yeah Christoph, one seems to meet all kinds of colorfull folks in the summer on the bike path. Huck, that bike just screams danger 😆 Here is a pic riding the Burton splitty from the other day. Photo courtesy of Silver March 13, 2012 at 2:51 am #653109 HansGLudwig 601 Posts That’s it. As soon as those Edison bindings come out, I’m doin’ a DIY split on my Rossi Mini. 121 centimeters of tree swerving, narrow chute rocking, and corn snow eating goodness. Anyone know if you can get aftermarket binding inserts? I wanna move my rear foot back an inch.

You can get inserts at most hardware stores but not the same as the real ones. A 121cm board? that’s insane! Gotta be at least 133cm :rock: bbb032 by Huck Pitueee, on Flickr March 13, 2012 at 2:44 pm #653112 aksltxlt 621 Posts ^^^ That board looks sweet Huck, A short fatty aka chode 😆 That drop is attained from hiking out on the North Side of Kit Carson Pass thats all the info though 😀 And Hans, Its super easy to install extra inserts, the inserts are like 10 cents each and the epoxy is cheap, but the bit will cost the most. And yea that Edison from sparks look rad, epecially for the DIY splitter March 13, 2012 at 3:08 pm #653113 Huck Pitueee 145 Posts I call it a chub cuz fish was taken. The hard part about tiny boards is getting all the deck gear to fit without one thing interfering with another. You’re locked into where the climbing bracket ends up and have to compromise around that. This 155 cm has the toe of your boot touch the puck. Lucky it hasn’t bothered me. sierrachub005 by Huck Pitueee, on Flickr March 13, 2012 at 3:14 pm #653114 Huck Pitueee 145 Posts PS where do you find inserts for that cheap? March 13, 2012 at 3:29 pm #653115 aksltxlt 621 Posts Nels in south lake, The local hardware store they have a huge selection. But now come to think about it maybe the inserts were 30 cents and the screws were 10 cents :scratch: Damn wake and :doobie: March 13, 2012 at 4:04 pm #653116 Huck Pitueee 145 Posts LOL. That’s still a good deal. March 14, 2012 at 4:20 am #653117 BobGnarly 220 Posts @hansgludwig wrote: That’s it.
