I haven’t been on this forum in like 4 years, and I came here just to say:

OMG THAT THREAD BUMP JUST WON THE INTERNET!!!

Insane.

Oh, and reading back through this thread reminds me I still want to meet @karkis someday! Some funny shit… not to mention I seem to recall him sending the shit out of some crazy lines… 🙂

@karkis thank you for fixing the links on the pics and all the new info!
I like that extender piece for moving the buckle. I’ll be doing that soon!
@marcusinho I have used the intuition ProTour and last year got the Tour Mod for my TLT6s. I feel like both would work well in the backlands. I recently tried them both in my backlands. The Pro Tour…[Read more]

@karkis thanks brother much appreciated, been toying between a set of regular intuitions vs the k2s. Yeah, I am on the stock liners but I am definitely swapping them out shortly here. Yeah without issues for years I was laughing but I have now had blisters about 7 or 8 trips in a row. glad to hear i am not crazy about the fit as I have had a…[Read more]

hey there @karkis just curious with what your thoughts are on the mod kit and the k2 liners, been riding for a couple seasons on lightly modded tlt6s. Been talking to pulse in revy about a new fit as I just started getting blisters after about 60 or so days on these boots. undecided on how far I want to go with mods at this point although the…[Read more]

it would also be interesting to see a chart showing numbers of industry users compared to recreationalists, and the relative growth of each group.

Some data for the US, with growth per group. Pretty clear ski touring and splitboarding show rising numbers.

And Canada, just to compare.

its kind of Betty vs Veronica

I will assume that Betty is the furberg….easy on the eyes and easy to ride, while Veronica may be a little more maintenance….more manipulation with an equal to or less than ride of a Betty. My Mom’s name is Bette, pronounced Betty. This thread took a hard-left for me….peace out! Oh wait, don’t…[Read more]

Bob were your profiles same same, camber bw the feet? i know a lot of folks dig their boards with that profile but as a concept i just don’t get it, unless your stance is super narrow, or if its a stiff racing board with camber tip to tail….

I like your scientific method steez
Next best thing: Splitboard Method Photos

Hey UPGRAYEDD_2505 – Truly the love of a pimp is very different from the love of us squares.

I’ve learned two important things from this thread. First, David Gottorff is a douche. Second… I need to get some tight pants so I can be safer in the bc! Thanks to karkis for the unending fountain of wisdom. 🙂

that shit show is also a good example of the downward spiral that happens if you play at their level and really the only way to deal with negatizzity is to rise above it
