idk how i feel about the new look of the Falcors

kinda looks like they have one of the old Palmer plates installed under them

[g3greg]

I was just at baldface and all of their test bindings have the new falcor base, I’m sad to say I stuck with my atlas and didn’t try them but I didn’t love the way they looked, which was cheap. I also didn’t love the molecular bushing ultra, I didn’t feel any extra bushing.. the old falcor and the Strata consistently feel like the most comfortable as far as mini disk is concerned.

Anti mini disc

Anti mini disc

Mega anti mini disc. Never even ridden them, but I know basic physics and I know I break things, so mini discs feels like tempting fate.

Saw this post pop up on Reddit of a guy who pulled the inserts of out 2 different Gnu Moneys, the second one within 2 weeks. Maybe the Gnu Money is just a piece of a crap, but that looks pretty clearly like what I'd expect when you increase the amount of baseplate outside the bindings and effectively create a more efficient lever.

Kazu Wide sounds appealing. Still wish they kept the camber in the tail contact.

Why is that?

Because I typically don’t like rocker at the tail contact.

Capita looks sick. I want a 59 Aeronaut.

Me too!
I looked for a 2023 season Kazu for months (the last one with camber in the tail), seemed out of stock everywhere, then I found a little shop that still had one in my size

It should be here in the next week

oh man I still love mini disc. I think the Falcor & Strata do it the best with a firmer foam than Contact/Pro's used to have, but I'm still running a pair of @michaelangelo's old Contact Pro baseplates on my early season/jib setup.

I'm also a big guy and ride my boards fairly aggressively, and I've never had an issue with mini-discs.

the only time I ever saw people breaking them at the shop was when they were setup in correctly (slots running toe-heel instead of tip-tail).

i once cracked a contact pro baseplate when running it on burton channelll. maybe only 2 screws tip<->tail instead of screws heel-toe made it flex to much i duno.
it was a drop to flat and i went over the bars. when riding away i noticed the heel on back binding was about an inch above the board =D
