(can’t believe this thread was revived!) nickstayner replied to the topic Broken Lace Mechanism in the forum Boots 8 years, 2 months agoThanks for the response. I may go that route, and I agree that Jay’s customer service is legendary. It’s not a pressing issue for me and I’ve actually been pretty happy the 1st couple times out on the new setup. nickstayner replied to the topic Broken Lace Mechanism in the forum Boots 8 years, 2 months agoI have had all generations of the Sparks and broken the lace mechanism (the ones on the lateral and medial sides of the boots) on every single boot!

Thanks for taking the time to put it out there! nickstayner replied to the topic Phantom Splitboard Bindings Detailed Review in the forum Bindings 8 years, 3 months agoThat’s a hell of a review. Thanks for taking the time to write it. I picked up a used pair from someone on the site and can’t wait to take them for a spin.Could you talk a little more about the icing issue w/ the cleats?

I may be wrong on this, but I don’t think you could get a film permit for doing what they’re doing in National Parks without having guides… so for a big budget movie it kind of makes sense.First, I don’t believe that’s accurate.

It will be way more versatile (you can use it well into the spring) for the area and temps you’re talking about. nickstayner replied to the topic Venture Storm 165 dynasplit phantom bindings in the forum Splitboard Swap 8 years, 5 months agoIf you do decide to piece it out: I’d be interested in the Storm depending on year & condition.
