    Scooby2 replied to the topic Fischer Traverse Carbon – Review/Thoughts in the forum Boots 1 day, 7 hours ago

    I’ve ridden these boots a fair bit now. I’ve switched the Voile straps from the xl to the regular ones because the xls were too stiff. I have two regular straps on each cuff now. Also one xl strap over the instep just above the boa dial on my back foot since I ride it really loose sometimes.

    Amazing thing about these boots is zero style…[Read more]

    Yes some folks are stuck on the same trajectory. Karkis’ 2013 breakdown of this type you meet in the bc is spot on though.

    My wife and I splitted up a literally 300 vert, 20 degree hill next to my neighborhood two weeks ago. 20-something guy (30s?) with his gal at the top of the mini-skinner tells me “oh you saw the track and couldn’t resist,…[Read more]

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Scooby2: Damaged sidewall ultracraft split in the forum DIY and Mods 2 weeks, 2 days ago

    There are ski shops that will do that kind of surgery; at least to replace the edge, fill the base side and cover with a new ptex patch, probably in the $200 range.

    I think that board has poplar on the rails, poplar without a lot of fiberglass on it will compress a bit compared to maple, birch, black locust etc.

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Scooby2: Damaged sidewall ultracraft split in the forum DIY and Mods 2 weeks, 2 days ago

    Hi there, and ouch!

    Right now I’m working pretty late at the day job, fighting for weekends, so I wouldn’t be able to turn a project around within this season. If the base is not distorted very far across the board, much of the board’s strength may be intact. I am guessing ski shops are saying no because the damage extends past just the…[Read more]

    I agree strongly on sizing up, but was not going to preach. Sounds like a solid deal there.

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Help choosing my first splitboard in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 1 month, 1 week ago

    I think that Burton board is pretty heavy. I’d rather ship a Voile Revelator from the US with VAT than go that route. maybe buy bindings quick, they are hard to find this year (in the US anyway)

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Fischer Traverse Carbon – Review/Thoughts in the forum Boots 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    I was a pretty big fan of the K2 Ace 20 years ago, releasable highback, rigid sole, enough body to the uppers that you could ride w/o highbacks in good powder, BUT they weighed almost 5 lbs a boot.

    So these boots that I have finally gotten around to are my attempt to make a lighter version. I have sized up and am using a pretty stiff older…[Read more]

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Splitboard AT systems – Lower the stance in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 5 months ago

    Do you mean that the touring tech toe piece wont let you move your front foot back. You could look at the new Voile touring toe piece which might allow better clearance. Otherwise install quiver killer mounting inserts in board farther back.

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Women’s Waist Width Questions in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 10 months, 1 week ago

    hey there,
    I have done a bit of fitting of boards for my wife and daughters, if you are a womens 7.5, being a 24.5cm foot, a 25 cm wide board will make your feet tired fast when riding on firm surfaces or long toe side traverses on exit roads etc. You could get a way with that width if you rode generally only ride in good powder (Utah or…[Read more]

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Amplid Milligram in the forum Splitboards 11 months, 1 week ago

    -ahhh, taking a break from the world here.
    I think with gear that does not involve wood, it’s just marketing. Or the first months of production goes out and the failure rate is higher than anticipated so material thicknesses are increased.

    I have had mostly paulownia snowboard cores that are as much as 300 grams different in a 164cm within the…[Read more]

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Dyno or Phantom? in the forum Bindings 12 months ago

    Hi there, yeah I think they are real nice. They are micro adjustable and save a lot of weight. Depending on your puck set-up they might be lighter than Phantoms-and necessary for a high angle stance. He uses a voile toe bail so its easily replaceable and won’t wear into your boot like a metal one. I ordered mine in the summer and it took a…[Read more]

    I’d see if you get a boot to feel good with wide feet before buying anything else.

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Trab Gara titans in the forum Bindings 1 year, 2 months ago

    the different thing about these Trab toe pieces is that they have a lot more tension in unlocked mode so, as I understand, you are supposed to be able to tour with them in the unlocked position “most of the time” without just walking out of them. My presumption is that if you took a small ride on ascent you might not shred a knee as compared to…[Read more]

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Rethinking softboot options in the forum Boots 1 year, 2 months ago

    I think the design issue is boot mfgs try to design a boot that won’t become too soft too quickly. The sides and stiff back spine of the outer boot and liner contribute to forward lean resistance when laced up snug. You could easily cut a wedge into the back of a boot like an intuition pro tour liner has and stitch and glue some neoprene or…[Read more]

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Winterstick Tom Burt? in the forum Splitboards 1 year, 3 months ago

    Hey mtnsurfr,

    It is true that there are few regularly manufactured boards for heavier riders who want a fast stable board for riding resorts. So you probably wont find anything different for $500ish. The Rossignol XV might be the most affordable mass produced board that has a nose that might not flutter and fold in the wind, but I’m only…[Read more]

    Hmm, are snowmobile boots flexy enough, never tried on a pair. not entirely cheap. They don’t have the agro forward lean at least.

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Trab Gara titans in the forum Bindings 1 year, 3 months ago

    looks like the Spark adapters would work, maybe the Trabs are 30 x 27 and the Spark plate has a 30 x 26.5mm pattern among all the patterns it takes. nice, that’ll be way easier than drill tapping and cutting. I’d probably be off a half mm in every direction anyway, lol.

    Scooby2 replied to the topic Trab Gara titans in the forum Bindings 1 year, 3 months ago

    Hey Snurfer,
    I haven’t put them on yet. For my current board that I’m still in love with, I was just going to make an adapter to voile pattern out of some aluminum stock that I have. It is all paulownia wood so screws are not the best idea. Next board, if I finish one for myself this winter, will just have some dense wood in the binding area…[Read more]

    Scooby2 started the topic Trab Gara titans in the forum Bindings 1 year, 3 months ago

    I think I will get onto my hard boots for a ride this winter. I’m looking to shake weight, as well as improve safety so I have been on the prowl for a tech binding that would have chance at releasing in climb mode. These Gara bindings are pretty interesting. They don’t work on springs, but torque on the bar. They don’t have the easy step in…[Read more]
