hey split.

we should try and get some turns in this year. march and april will be good months for me.

cheers, j

pretty cool to be involved in a sport/industry where the owner of the company comes into a mb and takes the time to respond to customer concerns. Lately, I’ve been really digging on the world of splitboards for that reason. Cheers, Klem, Lisa, Will, Dave Grissom and the others i forgot to mention or I don’t know about.

I grew up skiing, dabbled in tele a bit, started riding a snowboard in 85 and ripped my first homemade split in 98. My time in the bc is mainly spent with Tele/AT partners while I’m on my split. Sometimes I break out AT gear for a few days a year in the bc and find myself alpine skiing about 40% of the time while riding the lifts. After all these…[Read more]

Thanks for the post Paulster – indeed another impressive piece of media concerning avy awareness.

28 degrees with a possible 30-35 above it, unstable snow pack and…. !!!

Been meaning to post a review for awhile but never got around to it. Anyway, I bought my Divide last year and didn’t ride it much as I ended up riding my Mojo most of the time. (love it as well)

Took out the Divide the past two days and realized how much I was missing it. It’s just a great split. The tightness of the fittings when in descent mode…[Read more]

Mumbles – so once you split that burton what did you do for treatment of the 1/2 insert on each half of the board? I have heard of ripping burtons but yet to see one always wondered how one deals with the cut inserts after sawing through them. ie. sealing for water, etc.

edit: dft: stop being so cryptic, just pm me your secret valhalla, i’ll paypal you a beverage

Cryptic? if your disguising yourself as a hot chick from Kanadar that wants to shack up, let’s get it on! F the paypal, I’ll install the kegerator 😉

North of the border with a hot Canadian wife that likes to surf pow.

I did Bellingham from 91-98 but def. didn’t find it to be the “If I could live anywhere” spot – I loved it and miss it dearly but I think my alt utopia is somewhere else.

DFT: did you have loctite on the hardware that fell off? Bent Metal had breakage issues with that part of the strap last year, so they thickened them up. I guess they figured the bolt was fine, although I imagine they are getting hella calls about hardware falling off, since it’s falling off for a bunch of splitters who only get in and out a few…

I love it when I see em… like spottin a righteous mullet.

Those red ones look bad ass – Will can I trade in my Black ones?

Whuh?

Rode my Mojo 171 in area today for a few hours with the Sparks.

Heavy strap usage on my back foot did cause the loss of a nylock on the toe strap. Found out the reason for loss of hardware mainly on the toe straps: Two different ladder widths on each side yet same bolt…[Read more]

Bob Athey what a classic. Gotta love the wasatch for its die hard legends. First time I met him was about 8 years ago I was out on my home split touring solo and ran into him in white pine, he took a look at my ride and said “whaddya call that contraption?” and then grunted.

Anyone read the New Yorker article a couple years back about A Maclean…[Read more]

Last time I was in Boston I wanted a nice breakfast, you know, eggs, bacon, pancakes, maybe some huevos rancheros or something. I could not find a breakfast joint, but there was a freakin DD on every corner.

Dunkin Donuts IS breakfast in Bahston, what ah ya tahlkin abot?!?!?

HS that storm looks so similar to the one I posted earlier today

Ha ha

I’ve been tele-ing this set up more too on long out tracks etc. due to the increase in stability – perhaps at the scrub fest I’ll drop a full line in tele mode.

The Sparks bindings I received came stock with the slider pin leashed to the inside of each binding. You guys are reading toooooo much into it (BCR/Yoda). Run the pins whatever way you want, but they will not run from the inside on the rear foot with someone who has + degree stance on the back foot. The climbing block will…

No loss of nuts or hardware for me but this is my reminder to head down to the merc and get some loctite and extra nylocks nuts today.

I also had a notion about perhaps using a thin and small flat washer to go against the strap coupled with a split ring washer between the nut and flat washer as opposed to loctite – has this been…[Read more]

Niiiice!!!

Looks like a blur.

Wow, sanfrantastico thanks for those links! Esp the TC piece.

Man, that guy has it all for soul surfing. Wicked front and back side slashes coupled with Killer bottom turns. That was an inspiration.

DFT’s stance: meh, more or less 16-3 (sometimes more in the front).

I could never ride duck – oddest feeling ever for me.

If the biggest complaint you guys have is about the hardware I can deal with that! I would think a little loctite would help any slippery bolts. I may be able to put together a better fastener kit and put that out too it they are really annoying. The flip side about the ace hardware design is that you guys can just go down to ace…
