Which FullBag is that? Do you ride the pencil in powder or that?

At 5'9" 155lbs and short legs, I thought the 161 Descender was a bit much for me in tighter stuff. I don't mind long boards in tight trees as long as you're fairly setback with a short tail.

I sold it to a buddy who's quiver was an Amplid Singular 158 and a K2 Antitode 159 and he absolutely loved ...

Could this be due to the use of eco-sustainable materials?
I read that this is happening to Arcterix, which has a significant deteriorated appearance, and although it's not losing properties, or so they say, it looks bad..

I've used my AK pants and AK jacket for 15 years and they last and last ...

I stopped using the powder skirt when I started riding bibs. I use Volcom, but the zip tech makes things fit weird if it’s done up. Symptoms of short legs and long torso.


Same. I switched the Patagonia Powslayer Bib (it's kind of a half bib) five seasons ago and haven't looked back. I love it ...

Try again. You may have gotten the wrong person.

I have examined the system at home and I really don't find any serious design problems…
I think this is an unforeseen problem and they didn't count on it, so now they're solving it on the fly...


That's actually not correct. There have been issues with certain sizes (I believe in woman's ...

Solution to the difficulty in engaging the second click on the EST Step-Ons:
I spoke with Burton Europe, and they will sent me two new modified heel cleats. They didn't ask me for anything. But if they have modified cleats, I understand this happens frequently…

@jsil the cleats sit 2mm ...

I often have trouble getting the second click on Step-On EST.
I've actually used them a few times yet so I know that I need to practice more. But at home I don’t have problem but on the snow…

Has anyone had this problem?

Any tips?

Thank you!!

What size and what are your specs?

@jsil I don't know your specs but I think the 154 might be a very different animal for you than the 158. I'm 5'10" 190 and the 158 is perfect for me in every way. I don't want to speak for Benjinyc but I think he's 20 pounds or so lighter, and he's previously said that the 154 is the right size ...
