    FaDe replied to the topic Ultrasplit with skins and hardware now with pictures!! sold! in the forum Splitboard Swap 8 years, 4 months ago

    KenyGPorters:
    I’m considering buying this board, maybe end of this year, could you write up some impressions how the board handles, rides, tours? I would be very interested in some riding experience and opinions, because there is no review of this board with actual riding and touring impressions.

    Thanks

    Looks like the heel lock could be an easy retrofit to existing heel blocks. Nice. I assume it just swivels into place and engages the puck channels in the base plate. So simple it’s genius.

    FaDe replied to the topic Which non-split board for backcountry? in the forum The Gear Room 8 years, 5 months ago

    Ride Slackcountry is a great board that stands to its name. Its a full rocker, flat between bindings, great for powder, bomber for chopped snow and can also handle groomers very well. Thanks to its highrize rocker it turns on a dime, great for trees, playfull. But because of the highrize rocker it is not so good in holding edge on ice. But overall…[Read more]

    FaDe replied to the topic BOOTS in the forum Boots 8 years, 5 months ago

    I have also the Insanos but ride them only on my solid yet (because of binding issues on my split). For splitboarding I use my old Flow Rival Boa.
    I fell in love with the boa system on my Flows, than I bought the Insanos because of their rigidity, stiffness and the dual boa system. If a boot does not have a top strap like Head 5star or Vans…[Read more]

    I got out recently with a diverse group like this and it was a bit uncomfortable, both holding the shredders back as well as pushing the oldsters too hard. I want to improve my riding by touring with people who can get me into bigger terrain; at the same time I don’t want to feel like I’m wasting anyone’s time or holding them…

    FaDe replied to the topic Nevermind in the forum Splitboard Swap 8 years, 6 months ago

    Hi petersami,
    what’s your boot size which you think is too big for the medium Afterburners? The official SparkR&D chart says biggest size for medium is 43EU (10.5 US) but 10.5 US is 44 EU according to other conversion charts I have. I’m just curious what the real life is. I have size 44.5 EU (11 US) and wondering if I should go medium or large……[Read more]

    FaDe replied to the topic gecko skins in the forum The Gear Room 8 years, 6 months ago

    So to take a summary,

    Geckos last longer when not skied on hard or icy surface, that kills them.
    I would also recommend of using some sort of cheat sheets (did not figure out yet what material is good to be no sticky for the gecko layer), because when some small spots of the Gecko layer start to wear off or peel off the skin, by sticking the…[Read more]

    I mean, you nailed it! I was watching your binding test/comparison last season and I respect you for that very much! The one-to-one binding comparison was great, I like the way you go into testing/analyzing and reviewing gear, and also same goes for the Gecko skins… :bow:

    Interesting point, from the video I watched that seems likely. You know that for sure?

    I don’t know that for sure, but if you look the Spark R&D 2013/14 catalog, the mounting pivot on the Sabretooth looks exactly the same as on a Dynafit crampon.

    People sure seem to love to hate Burton.

    Speaking of which, it’s interesting how many features these new bindings have (and Karakoram and Edison) that were present in some form or another in the original ill-fated Burton interface system. Heel lift was integrated into the baseplate, and it worked great with their crampons. No pins.…

    Thanx for the update :thumpsup:

    Slackcountry is the king of POW and choped POW, and the topsheet is great. I like it very much, but also after your great results I don’t feel to cut it in half 🙂
    I’ll save it as a solid for nice powder days and Slackcountry.

    Wish you much fun with your splitty :thatrocks:
