Saw the news couple of days ago and said that Blue is STILL open! they're looking to probably close up 1st of may though.
but wow what a long run, wasn't expected esp with the warmer weather that's been hanging around.

$135 for Glen Eden, $179 for Blue... plus tax. I'll buy the park passes when I pick these up next season.

What a way to end the season! Awesome shred day with Lux and jhoang6! Saddens me but at the same time, I'm beat. Lotsa progress this year, hoping to continue on strong next season.

OMG these were the vids you were watching! LoL damn amazing stuff.. I think I would have gone with the SLs if I was able to.. the newer version.. if not then it would be the Atlas 2013's.. because of sizing I have to consider other options.
And yes Nautika it would be from the coupon. So excited! i can't wait for em.. I'm so due for a great pair..I'd say it holding back my progression ;) hahaha

Similar to Burton, all Flux bindings using their 'Alpha' baseplate have multi-density footbeds that will also compress to achieve canting using rider weight. Bear in mind, though, that canting becomes less useful as your binding angles increase. Also, canting altogether, in my opinion, isn't really that noticeable anyway unless you have absurdly wide stances on an aggressively positive cambered board. Union Atlas would be up your alley: the Atlas is the new Force, but the dealbreaker is the upgraded baseplate and new asymmetrical strap. Teruumi Fujimoto uses the Union Atlas:

I just don't want to spend money to ride
I'm better off spending on next season's pass lol

Burton's autocant is based on foam density and its ability to compress. Therefore it will look even without weight or pressure compressing the foam. But when you apply pressure, the foam compresses differently on the inside of the foot vice the outside of the foot.
excerpt from Transworld on Burton's AutoCant: "AutoCant is a new padding technology put into the BEDs of some of our key models. Unlike traditional cants that force a rider into a specific canted angle, AutoCant forms to a rider’s natural canted angle. The wider the stance, the more cant; the more narrow the stance, the less cant. There’s no need to think about it, AutoCant adjusts automatically. The way it works is relatively simple – on the inside (medial side) of the pad, we use a softer, less dense foam, while on the outside (lateral side) of the pad, we use a firm, more dense foam. The difference in density allows the boot to more easily settle into a natural canted position, depending on the rider’s stance width and angle." Also Unions do not have canting options so its not exactly a one for one comparison to bindings with cant beds if thats something jhoang is looking for. But the force SLs are probably the best option available if youre looking to spend your binding coupon on something. |

Burton has Autocant beds, which I think are bs. They're not truly canted, they claim to mold to a comfortable cant but I don't buy it. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Malavita Restricted... but certain things about it bug me. Love the wings though, but I think the Force SL are a better choice.

Yes give us an update LUX, of course when you get info that is.
FLUX
The house does not have it...
Oh yah FJ I'm looking at the malavita too because it's got the Cant beds. Providing that extra cushion and side angle thingy...plus comparably light and of course they still have the size.

Man that sucks you have to wait. I guess you'll be practising your 3's on your Arbor then. Might work out better for both approach speed and landings. I'm thinking of going both Monday and Tuesday now. Let's make it happen man!

I agree, that is not acceptable.. its part of the integrity of the board. Video evidence is there! haha
so many warranty claims!
I feel partly to blame for you bindings, still sorry bout it )=

I'm calling it a season mostly due to finances at the moment. I submitted the board to Meltdown but did not receive a loaner; they won't give a board until they clear the warranty claim. If I ever do go again this season, it will have to be on the Element using my DS30 bindings since my SF45 bindings are also down for warranty hahah
Edge cracked in two spots. Some folks seem to think that cracked edges are passable, but it's absolutely unacceptable considering the amount of stress that I put it through from flexing.

No Lux! You gotta soften up the new board before storage! You ended up just swapping at Meltdown right? I'm thinking next Monday and Tuesday now. Come on, you gotta hit 30!

My season's pretty much done now, since I turned my board in for warranty after riding with the lads on Tuesday. Obviously had to make sure to squeeze in as much flexing damage as possible before submitting it; one skier even said my core was gone because it was so noodly hahah!
I reached 24 ride days this winter. We have so many Toronto riders here and only 3 show up for the entire season?

I think Blue will stay open (day riding) for a couple more weeks at least man. Ride till the very end! I plan to go on the very last day, if I can.
Oh man, gotta wake up in 5 hours... sleep time!
