Hoping it’s not all for nothing haha.
admit it, at the very least you got to have some fun playing with your toys. i've tried so many stance options just because its fun to tinker with the gear
100%! I don’t think I have a single pair of bindings that are stock top to bottom. I enjoy frankenbindering as much as I enjoy tuning and waxing.

Hey, I couldn't get the burton toe ladders and "connectors" to fit into their slots. Did you have to mod anything there?

The drama continues... WP got a foot of fresh, so I decided to set up the NOWs on my SB Powder Racer for tomorrow. The bolts are just too short for my Capita boards, which have been known to have deeper recessed inserts than other boards. I took the bindings themselves entirely out of the equation to make sure it wasn't the bushings, so it was just the mounting posts and discs. I can't get half of the bolts started, even doing the washerless method to start, and the ones that do bite only get a 1/2 to 3/4 turn in which doesn't leave me feeling confident.
I even tried my Strata bolts, same deal. Anyone know who makes the longest mounting hardware? Burton says theirs are 16mm, so those might be the call.

how is WP's coverage now? debating there or basin on saturday (might just go skin for fitness reasons at basin and take a few laps before heading back down to denvah)
i actually didn't mind the drive straps on the older versions (think this is like a '17/'18 Drive i'm referring to). curious how the new ones are which i will give a shot next week before ordering burton straps for the drives.

I recall having to really push down with my weight to get them to thread until my foot pads compressed from riding. Though, I don't know your situation and wouldn't want to advise something that messes your shit up.
