The availability of the Dum Dum is great news. Will you be updating your web page with the specs, description, photos of the Dum Dum in the near future?

Ahh, I’m embarrassed to say I probably won’t get to the website any time soon (though we are slowly updating it with photos etc). We trickle these special edition shapes in small…[Read more]

…..Chimera, may make the Dum Dum, which has been floating around in prototype form for a couple of seasons now, it has around 16-17 m radius….

Confirmed: The DumDum has a 16.9 and 17.9m sidecut for the 160 and 168 models, respectively. We actually wrapped up the R&D a while back and are still offering the DumDum this…[Read more]

A few people have been asking about availability of Uni Chasers. Just to put it out there, no-one at Chimera would be butt-hurt if you were to snap up the UAC model instead of one directly from us. This is a good cause. :rock:

Folks, Dmitriy is being modest. He’s shown me photos of the riding in Siberia, and unless I’m missing something in translation it is legit.

Post the link, Dmitriy!

^^^^…me make it out there for the Silverton Splitfest. I’ve been such an introvert in years past and had so much fun last year getting out with some new guys…

Nic, if you decide to head out hit me up. We try to make it every year, it’s a blast!

Thought I’d better chime in.

Snurfer, the sidecut is a little tighter, around 9.2m. The taper is around 18mm…not huge, but enough to try and promote down-sizing a few cms which I feel is key to most splitboard designs (weird to say that about a 176!).

The feedback here is all good, but we still need to get our heads together sometime soon and…[Read more]

Hah! I know what y’all going to do now.

It was good meeting you, Markus. See you on the next one!

That looks like a slick set up, these new binding systems for hardboots are so trick it makes me consider making the switch.

Can I ask what boot you are using?……

Not speaking for Joey here, but the Dynafit TLT 5 seems like it’s becoming a standard (and next…[Read more]

Ha! Well spotted.

PM me your address and I’ll send you one of the new trucker hats.

What can I say? It’s a total trap, like getting a helmet. Once you have an avvy bag you feel totally jinxed everytime you leave home without it!

Seriously, if anyone is driving we have some other gear to haul. We’ll make it worth your while.

12, -6, 23″ stance…exact same for Alpine set-up as it is for my soft-boot set-up.

I do cant the hardboots a little, and am wishing I did that on my softies.

Wow. Good idea, firstlight. Might have found a use for my old burton crampons that I’ve never even managed to give away, let alone use.

Cadderly (and anyone else), welcome to hit us up about demo-ing a DumDum.

I realize it’s a little tacky to hijack the Furberg thread, so maybe let’s take any demo talk to PMs or another post? 😳

Well, yeah. That’s the plan.

off to get this done!

edit: O mai gad. This setup is going to take me from slow mfer to kinda slow mfer! Backyard tour test resulted in very high marks.

edit v2: First day out had a good 9 mile/3k tour. The up is so much easier with the TLT5s &…

Yep, Chimera makes a ‘Little Boot Edition’ of the Unicorn Chaser in a 150, which would certainly help with the nose diving issue (contact us if you want to know more). We are are also working on R&Ding a Mace 155 (Little Boot) this season, to be released late season or next year.

The Little Boot editions are NOT boards scaled down to be softer…[Read more]

COUNT ME IN! Check your email. :drool:

Whut?! Did it even end up in AK this year?

These are looking so damn TIGHT. Keffler, I believe you’re the first one to take a serious stab at quality integrated hardboot binders. The (r)evolution continues. Cannot wait to get my hoofs in these! :rock:

Nice work! A few of us were at Keith’s hut while this crew were filming and while we talked a lot of crap about Aussie Couloir we all made excuses why we shouldn’t do it. Evidently Yuta decided to slay it. :rock:
