    generalyen replied to the topic Newby board questions in the forum Splitboards 3 years, 12 months ago

    What’s the profile of those never summer decks? Personally I’d stay away from a rocker/ hybrid for your first split. They tend to have less grip on the skin track than a camber board. If your committed to a rocker board then I’d recommend a skin that is geared more towards grip. Someone might disagree with me but this is just my personal experience.

    I wouldn’t go any smaller than a 30L, I’ve got by with a 20L but it was tight.

    I recommend that you still ride a wide , and I would also recommend up sizing like 3-6cm. You will be carrying more weight into the backcountry, more weight means bigger board.

    No tech toes, what’s the point? At least someone is starting to address the lack of snowboard hard boots. I wonder how heavy they are.

    Sorry but they are long gone. Support your local business and buy spark r&d.

    From the photos on instagram it looks like a pretty durable system. A little too rich for my blood unfortunately.

    You guys should try to make it down to Bozeman for splitfest in March. I’m sure you’d find some partners there if you look hard enough.

    generalyen replied to the topic Atomic backlands… Thoughts on mods in the forum Boots 4 years, 1 month ago

    I finally got out on my backlands and I could see how having a progressive forward lean would be nice. I felt the boot flex a bit but then it just applied a lot of pressure to my shin. Perhaps I’ll try using the power straps and have the cuff a little looser. But all in all it wasn’t bad and the response was amazing. Has anyone cut the lower she…[Read more]

    generalyen started the topic Tech toes and dyno dh in the forum Spark R&D 4 years, 1 month ago

    So I finally got a chance to ride with the new hardboot setup and these are my initial thoughts. I’ve never used a tech binding before so lining up the boot with the tech toe is a little difficult at first but not too bad. The response while touring is out of this world, combined with the Backland boot I had amazing edge hold on traverses. The d…[Read more]

    For sure, I’ll do a write up after I’ve taken it out for a few tours.

    Thanks everyone but I’m all set now. I’m using atomic backlands with spark tech toes and dyno dh bindings.

    generalyen replied to the topic Atomic backlands… Thoughts on mods in the forum Boots 4 years, 2 months ago

    I just picked up a pair and I’m super stoked to try them. Has anyone tried moving the lower buckle to the cuff pivot points like the dynafit mod? I know a longer cable would be required.

    generalyen replied to the topic TLT Speedfit Mod Thread in the forum Boots 4 years, 4 months ago

    Thanks for your responses guys, it’s a bit intimidating venturing into the hardboot realm. But you guys have given me some valuable input. Btw how are the liners in the speedfits? I heard the tlt6 liners sucked.

    generalyen replied to the topic TLT Speedfit Mod Thread in the forum Boots 4 years, 4 months ago

    So what makes these boots better than the back lands? I’m just curious because I’m trying to decide on my first AT boot and I’ve narrowed it down to either speedfits, backlands, or Arc’teryx procline.

    I was hoping someone would write up a thread on speedfits. Any interest in letting go of those backlands? I’m lookin to get my feet wet in the hardboot game.

    generalyen replied to the topic NS Swift Splitboard vs Arbor Coda Spiltboard in the forum Splitboards 4 years, 4 months ago

    So I know it doesn’t have a “bat tail” but Weston has some really good splits these days. The backwoods has won a bunch of awards and comes in a 167. I’ve never rode one but I know plenty of people who have and I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews. I will be getting one myself as soon as money allows.
