    buell replied to the topic Amplid Milligram in the forum Splitboards 3 years, 3 months ago

    http://splitboard.com/talk/topic/lighten-up-and-down-2/

    I posted some weights in the above thread. It might only be of some help though because I ride much smaller gear than you. I am on the 158 Milligram, medium Phantoms and 25 mondo boots. They have also widened the Milligram a bit which, along with a few other minor changes, has added some…[Read more]

    buell replied to the topic Prior BC split XTC or Amplid Milligram or Venture Paragon Carbon in the forum Splitboards 3 years, 10 months ago

    I haven’t ridden a carbon Prior or carbon Venture, but I have ridden several standard construction models of both Prior and Venture.

    Unless they are putting quite a bit more rebound into their carbon boards, the Amplid will certainly have more pop and be the most lively. This season, Amplid added a lot more camber and stiffened both the…[Read more]

    buell replied to the topic Amplid Milligram in the forum Splitboards 3 years, 10 months ago

    As far as I know, the Milligram would be my choice for what you are after.

    The Milligram does have more camber and is stiffer this season than previous seasons but I also think 163 would be the best length for your size.

    The current Milligram is a bit heavier than previous years. I expect they have been adding reinforcement to areas that see…[Read more]

    buell replied to the topic 2018/19 Amplid Milligram 158 in the forum Splitboard Swap 3 years, 10 months ago

    The Milligram is stiffer and has more camber this season than the previous 3 seasons.

    One thing to note for buyers, Amplid is on a two year cycle now for design changes. Next year’s board is the same as this year’s board.

    buell replied to the topic Atomic backlands… Thoughts on mods in the forum Boots 4 years ago

    Info about the Phantom LINK spring system for the Backlands is public now on their instagram.

    “Designed for #splitboarding, the LINK is a dual suspension tour/ride mode lever that swaps in easily for the stock lever on any @atomicski Backland boot. Provides forward lean adjustment from 6 to 26 degrees as well as increased forward…[Read more]

    Here is the Insta comment by Phantom I mentioned earlier:

    ………. In the meantime we are doing what we can with the best of what’s available. We are currently working on a tour/ride mode lever for the Atomic Backlands that will allow you to dial in your preferred forward lean and is springloaded for increased forward flex. Super easy to i…[Read more]

    buell replied to the topic Atomic backlands… Thoughts on mods in the forum Boots 4 years, 1 month ago

    They are specific to the Backlands. You might be able to get them to work on other boots but they are not being designed for that.

  • Profile picture of buell

    buell replied to the topic Atomic backlands… Thoughts on mods in the forum Boots 4 years, 1 month ago

    Yes. It is actually a spring system so you can dial in your forward flex. Hopefully it will be out Jan/Feb, but probably a bit later.

    Phantom posted about them in the comments on their instagram post about the Phantom/Spark toepieces.

    buell replied to the topic Amplid Milligram in the forum Splitboards 4 years, 2 months ago

    From my experience and knowledge of other Milligrams, durability seems totally fine. I know of one that broke, but it took a big hit to do it and it was already well used. I bought a new Milligram for last season but never took it out until last June because of the crappy snowpack. That means my original Mg has three solid years on it and quite…[Read more]

    buell replied to the topic Karakoram Ride Mode 2.0 in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 4 years, 3 months ago

    russman has not been hiding the fact he works for Karakoram. He has posted about it in the past on multiple occasions and even been in a feature on the SB.com homepage in 2015. I would have figured most people here knew. That apparently is not the case. That is probably why he put at the top of this post.

    Also, while he has spent plenty of time…[Read more]

    buell replied to the topic Snowshoes first instead? or straight to split? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 4 years, 10 months ago

    I have snowshoes. I know it can be done and have done it a few times before I got a split, but I do not consider them a realistic backcounty access tool. If the snow is firm (corn season), maybe, but you still have the board on your pack going up and the snowshoes on your pack coming down. When it is too steep to snowshoe, you have the board and…[Read more]

    buell replied to the topic Amplid Milligram First Impressions in the forum Splitboards 4 years, 11 months ago

    You probably saw the other thread, but just in case, it is here. There are similarities in our initial thoughts. That review might help with some of your durability questions. I bought a new one this year, but because our snow pack is so thin, I am still riding my original Milligram, now in its 3 season. I am hitting rocks every tour this season…[Read more]

    buell replied to the topic Amplid Milligram in the forum Splitboards 5 years ago

    For those who are interested, Colin put up a review of the Milligram on the SB.com homepage.

    There is a bunch of information from me, based largely on this thread. Additionally, six other riders with at least a season on the Milligram also added their thoughts and images. It is definitely worth a look.

    Thanks to everyone who contributed.

    buell replied to the topic Lighten Up (and Down)! in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 5 years ago

    Stephan, they are insanely light!

    I started a Gignoux specific thread in the boot sub forum. It explains how I got them to fit in the Phantoms. You will need a fairly long nylon screw that screws into the toe lever and will sit against the boot to hold the to lever in the correct location. Unfortunately, photobucket wants $400/year to do what…[Read more]
