@earnyourturn This is incredible–the trip, and to have filmed it. Thanks for that.

@earnyourturn That was fantastic!

@bcall8 I havn’t been down to the eastside this winter but @Earnyourturn has been posting up some shots on his IG

I’m kinda disappointed with the folks that live in Bend. Lots of people that wanna go hike the cone and skin tumalo but not too many that want to go far and ride hard. I thought Bend was full of crushers :scratch:

Mind your keyboard Zak. Who did you contact anyways?

I actually saw another guy at June rocking the salmon jacket! I went up to say hi and it wasn’t him! Have you been getting out much? It was good there for a couple days after the storm. Let me know if you’re looking to get out there i’m always down. Phone number is 209-241-7070 give me a shout

That’s really funny, I yelled at…[Read more]

Is that ryan floyd in the pictures? He’s a friend of mine, I’m recovering from an injury for a few more days but lets get out there in a week or so!

Do you know anyone else with that fish print jacket? 😉 Hopefully it actually snows next week (knock on wood).

Have you sold the bindings?

Still available. Selling them with extra detent pins (this is the locking mechanism for binders to board cleats).

The partners that I have had with Karakoram that had to de-ice usually took more than ten seconds. But they did not have a tool for the job so it may have been a different process for them than it is for you with a scraper. Another question – do any of you have experience split-skiing with the phantom interface? From the…

Has anyone experienced issues with the Phantom interface becoming iced up at the transition? Seems like this could be an issue with the tight fit of the phantom. Can anyone speak to this?

Because the Phantom interface provides a very tight connection between the board halves, and relies on close tolerances to do this,…[Read more]

A friend and I were on the summit on friday and got some pretty amazing turns the whole way down! How was it on Saturday? Hoping to be up there again soon when the snow falls, lets meet up next time?

I think I ran into you with my two buddies just shy of the summit. Great turns that day. Up for a meet and great this…[Read more]

Agreed, the movie is weird/wild/really aesthetically pleasing at the same time. I like slow cameras and longer clips. Loved the scene in Signatures where the guy makes a few turns down a couloir and the camera just fixes there watching snowballs tumble down the chute, a good echo of the occasional action and lasting (hopefully) silent beauty in…[Read more]

Just to be clear, this does not include the toe pieces or heel riser correct? Ride mode binding only?

That’s correct. I have Spark adapters (toe/heel) I can sell you for $50.

You’ll still need to buy Dynafit toepieces from Spark. Hope this helps, lmk any other questions you have.

Is it possible to use these bindings on a solid board for resort riding? If not what is the best option for HB’ing on a solid?

That is a big question that depends on what you mean by “HB’ing on a solid.”

If you are freeriding at lower angles on a normal width snowboard using lightweight AT boots, then yes, they…

It appears from the photos that this mod only works for a “floating” crampon configuration. Is this correct or can you still get the crampon to lock down?

…you could always switch out the climbing bars for longer ones (better for steep climbs anyway) and then when you snap them down they’ll hold the rear of the crampon down.…[Read more]

Powderider: i can’t quite make sense of the photo as far as how they actually mount to the board. Care to explain? didn’t see an explanation on the link provided.

There are little ‘hooks’ that should have come with your Dynafit toepieces that are optional, that you need to install on the posterior (towards the tail) 2 screws…[Read more]
