Thanks! Will definately try the soft tongue then. How much have you filed down the locking mode? Seems you can file down quite a bit if you use a tongue

Karkis I see you have a tongue in your boot? How does it ride with a tongue? Was thinking it might give more steady flex with the locking mode modification, but I dont know. Has anyone else tried to ride with the soft tongue, maybe even a modified tongue?

Awesome! Thanks

Anyone got some info on those new Spark R&D orange bindings? Looks superlight and pretty cool!

You can find a little Furbergshredding in this movie from Arlberg – Austria!

I have been riding the 167 split for a couple of days here in Arlberg, and its pretty sick! Been charging the slopes (transport runs ofcourse) and it feels just like a solid board. We have also been riding some spines in 40cm powder and its just epic for that! Really happy with it!! :thumpsup: :thatrocks:

is it bad or what? looks like a good deal, pretty cheap for a custom split…

Ive tested the board now, but only once and that was on a pretty mellow mountain (20 degrees) with variable snow from deep warm snow, deep powder and crust. In the deep snow i did not have the speed because of the degree on the slope, but i managed to get some speed on the crust. The board was REALLY weird but in a good way. It was really playful…[Read more]

Actually snowman1, i think this board will be pretty easy to handle in the forest… It has a lot of taper in both ends, lots of setback and a huge rocker, and all of these features will give it playfulnes. And the board is actually pretty soft, much softer than my Mojo-rx, and softer than my Lib-tech travis rice board too.

Me and toke here will get boards this week or the next, and we will test them as soon as the snow conditions allow us to! Will update you guys on how it performs, and i have to say i am extremely stoked on testing it! :thumpsup:

I talked to Daniel, he said he is going to send in orders for splitboards in 167 soon. He does not know how long time it will take to build them, but it means they will most likely come with splitboards this season!

Thanks for answers! I think ill buy a new set of hooks like youre saying firstlight, either voile or karakoram

The gap between the boards gets MUCH bigger when im going steep on hardpack, we are talking maybe half an inch or more. Havent seen this on any other splitboards (Jones, Prior, Gentemstick), so im thinking it cant be right. The photo was taken with a small pressure made by my hand…

This is what i mean:

This is what it looks like when the board is tight, but the hooks arent. Click on the pic to make it bigger

And this is what it looks like when getting some pressure

Any ideas?

The problem is not the pucks, i think it must be the hooks. The hooks are pretty bad set up from voile, so they are maybe some millimeters away from each other. This means the board halves can flex a bit before the hooks get in touch with each other. I think this will be solved by buying the karakoram hooks, but do you guys have any clue if i can…[Read more]

Well, too much setback will make stomping cliffs harder because you wont have the support that a longer tail gives. Its the same with speed and stability, longer tail equals more stability. You will also need a long nose for stability in speeds and float, so a moderate setback is good for all-mountain riding! I like to only have a small tail when…[Read more]

Anyone got a picture of the Prior Backcountry rocker?

Well, guys… Seems like the Atomic dudes read this forum!

Say hello to 11/12 Sir Floatalot!
Regular camber between the feet, big rocker in the tips, and ofcourse early tapered nose and tail! I think this will rip the pow, but not the hard stuff. 8 meter sidecut, and the board is in 163, dont know about other sizes.

Any thoughts?

By the way!…[Read more]

Cool to see that you are on the splitboard.com forum, Juha!
It was an awesome trip! What about Lyngen next weekend?
