Hey Refried, you gonna sell the old blue Nitro back to me?? Glad to see you still have her!

Scooby’s stuff is very cool, esp. in person. Mere mortals? I’d take a 200 Tanker(rockered) to AK, or my 192 Tanker most anywhere else.

Hey, I resemble that remark!! :bananas:

Bomber splitboard bindings come with a wider bail set for the toe. You can order the wider bail option for the TD series binding as an option. My Dynafit boots fit fine with them.

Look for a Burton Chopper 95, smallest stick I’ve seen. My 16 y.o. won’t part with her’s, too much sentimental value! Her’s is complete with Burton bindings and Airwalk mini freeride boots, size 12.

I am hoping to climb shuksan with russman. :thatrocks:

Been almost 2 months since I’ve been on here, look at what I miss. What route are you all thinking on? Stuff on the Ski area side are real mountaineering stuff, nice descent lines. I might be in, if my butt is back in shape then! Anyone wanna sledneck some stuff on the…[Read more]

Also done it. Made a table to clamp the board in, ripped it down the middle, clamped one half in the table, ripped the taper in it, repeat for other half. Sanded edges to meet up smoothly, finish job. Easy peasy…

I remember seeing a couloir specific board on Boheme’s website before they went down, then came up again as Phenix.

It was called the tonal; 152cm, 5 cm tip and tail, and 19m sidecut!

(can’t add any more to the posts above about rocker)

Note the sidecut of that bad boy, 19! No problem with edge in the ice there. “Modern”…[Read more]

When I saw the title and the name, I was a bit worried that you cut up that Rad-Air LSD I sold ya! Wood is good, though. Nice mods, I’d like to talk to you about some pucks myself, for my next project, later this winter, when I find the next victim! PM me, thanks, Jon

:rock: Oh yeah, baby, HB’s on the 119! If I keep on riding it, I’ll have to figure out something, uh, different. Need super lite for summer corn turns. Also, I am back, after 15 years, in auto shop management. I’d forgotten what those 10-11 hour days were like! I’m hoping it pays off for me in the long run. If not, I’ll have to figure out how to…[Read more]

Just turned 52 this Tuesday, it’s all about mindset, not age. Officially rode my shortest board yet, the 119 Rossi Mini this spring/summer. Kinda fun, too! Not all my milestones this season are fun ones. Moved my mom in with me this summer, she’s battling stage 2 cancer. Humbling to see how my wife has worked with her, just amazing! Tenacity is…[Read more]

A few thoughts on rocker, from a big board perspective. I’ve been on a 192 Rad-Air Tanker for a few years now. Std. camber, 10.5 sidecut. Nice board on-piste, or on big open faces where you can really let it run. Good in pow, up to a few feet deep, in/outta bounds. I was able to test ride a pre-production ’10 year model 200 Tanker in February.…[Read more]

Fine boots…for carving. Too heavy for the splitboard, unless you like 5+ lbs per foot! I liked my 123″s for riding, even for splitting. Sucked for hiking. My $.02

That is a loaded question. Stance angles vary so much depending on too many factors to just say do this. My personal setup on my split is 38f/30r front foot flat and rear foot has cant/lift. On other boards I ride as little as 5 degrees split or 15 degrees different, depending on what and where I’m riding. A few guys here ride duck with A/T boots.…[Read more]

I love your attitude, always a success when you come back to fight again. And welcome to our neck of the woods!

I am currently using a Cassin Dragonfly (9 oz. and discontinued) 50cm as a self-arrest tool only. Straight shaft, all aluminum. Useful for soft to harder snow, nothing else. Also have a BD Black Prophet 50 cm, useful for those scary places I shouldn’t be but end up in. Straight shaft also. Notice a trend? Good for plunging into the snow, boot-axe…[Read more]

Another Tanker rider? You got the full size 200? Things fast as hell huh?

Out here we have too many close trees to ride the 200 BC so I’m not splitting mine. IF you do – post it cause I’d love to see it. Maybe if I had a second one I would but I’d rather the Burt Pro as a factory split….[/quote]

No, I’m on the 192 from ’03 season right…[Read more]

You callin’ me out?? Bwahaha, I gotta split a Tanker first, then maybe ride one of those Tom Burt’s 172’s!

Sweet board & I’m kinda stoked on the graphics too. It’s like a Mountain Gun that would actually work in all conditions. I wish I were man enough to ride Tom Burt’s 172 but I’m afraid of it. I would love to give the…

I do believe he meant this…yes, its red, its FAST, and its mine!!

Mtnman, I’m 5’7″/160 lbs…but I have a lot of “carve” in my background. At my age, my objectives are usually short/steep, or longer more gradual mountain approaches. Not a lot of jib left in me, still, I’ll ollie off of stuff when I can.
Barrows, a boot that would flex more like the Raichle SB 123 series boots, 3 buckle, lite like the Dynafits,…[Read more]
