Rome Binding Capability

I'd like to formally announce that Mr. David was correct.

Rome is making discs that are 3d compatible. Or as they put it "inferior binding insert system" compatible.

They do not look like traditional 3d compatible discs, and actually provide a lot of micro adjustment options even if you run a 4x4 snowboard.

If you can get a pair from your local shop, I highly suggest it. They offer a bunch of additional stance adjustments compared to a traditional 4x4 disc.

So it looks like through some engineering and input from the Syndicate, they have taken something minimal like discs and created a nice technical innovation.

I'll try to post a pic or two when I get back home.



Ok. Back to my California vacation. In Santa Barbara right now sipping on Margaritas.

loving it. in santa barbara right now. headed to big sur next. next time i come, i am bringing my surfboard rather than renting a few times.

Where did you get those and how much do they cost?

Very informative, the east coast loves rome ... why do you think that is?

We eastcoasters deal with the hardcore no-pansy stuff... ice and bitter cold weather.

those look about the same as the discs that come with Technines and Salomons.
what did the Rome discs look like before or rather, what do the normal ones look like?

last season i saw a Terje board with the red base and the wooden sword on the bottom. it was mint! i so wanted to go up to the kid and be like.... take this burton custom and give me your terje as a trade.

lol.

Did that Terje board come out the same year as the Brushie w/ the low-rider green-metallic-fleck-paint graffiti theme? 

Damn i miss that board...saw one on ebay used and... "coulda-woulda-shoulda".

brushie is Ride manufacturing

I stand corrected...I responded prematurely (kind of like my sexual performance) ... i did some research and found this sickness

Anyway, I saw "Craps table" and thought gambling, and I own this board which is a 2000 Ride Brushie "Pro" model:
