HARDGOODS 25/26

Don't have a strong opinion on FASE/Step-ON/Supramatic, but I personally also do not care about the channel at all. I did have an old Capita Totally Awesome that had it, it was fine, but I never changed the stance after the initial set up. The whole notion of adjusting the stance for powder just does not compute, particularly since many boards either have some sort of early rise or taper anyway.

BTW, graphics back then were so much more fun:

The flex is why I have always avoided the channel. I've never understood how embedding two metal bars in a snowboard is going to make a board better. But you seem like the man who might actually know.

yeah...I think it's not the smartest thing burton has done. I guess they went for strength over performance like building a binding that will never break, but is also a dead turd.

FYI, Aluminum is flexible. It is not some dead piece of steel under foot.

i guess i phrased that wrong. i wasn’t implying that a B board is a dead turd. i have a burton board in my quiver. aluminium is stiffer than plastic. just look the ride bindings with there A and C series. what B do to compensate for the extra stiffness of the alloy channel is thin the profile out under the bindings (squeezebox).

Good point. It's probably true that most folk don't change their stance much, if at all.

This is like one of those infomercials where some bad actor makes doing a simple thing look super hard in an effort to convince you to buy that device changes from a scewdriver into camcorder.

BILLY FASE HERE WITH ANOTHER FAAANTASTIC PRODUCT

[jclinares]

Not sure that would cover a trip to Baldface. Maybe if you live in Nelson. I would pick option 1 and make a quiver, because there's enough money for that even if I buy a TT160.

Good point.

Could be a one-way trip. I didn't have enough money left for avy training

jones doesn’t call it float pack because that’s the ideal position for hardpack

So if you are shopping for bindings and you can pick up a set of Katana's or a set of FASE Katana's for the same price, are you going non FASE? Or, would it be worth it to just pick up the FASE version for the little bit of added convenience?

Well I guess there's some warranty, so unless it's your only setup, why not?
