Got this offer, where the seller first falsely told me the bindings were from 22, but then corrected himself after I told him (with some help from the subreddit here) that they were from 21.

Now he lowered the price to 200 euros from 300 euros. You think I should grab them or not? What should I look out for when I check them out before I buy them?

I usually see people have issues with the toes hitting the front binding but I have the Spark wires and they hit my binding puck. Moving my binding back will kind of throw off my stance, to be honest I was thinking of bringing it closer 😅

Do I need to get Phantoms??

Invested in a hardboot setup this year. Atomic Backland Pros w/ Phantom link levers, Spark Dyno DH, Spark tech toes, Phantom heel risers.

I went on my first tour a few days ago (inbounds). The tour up was great. Very noticeable how much lighter and more efficient it was. The down was definitely...different.

How are you setting up the backlands for going down? I have these Backland Pros.

Are you tightening down the upper buckle (calf/shin buckle?) What about the power strap at the top? I was fiddling with both on the way down but couldn't find an ideal medium. I think I had tightened both down too much b/c all of the power transfer was happening in the upper part of the boot.

Binding angles?

I need to narrow the stance a bit too.

Any tips or beta appreciated.

Hi! I just bought a Burton Splitboard with a Split Channel system and channel compatible pre-mounted pucks. Will the Spark R&D Surge ST 23/24 bindings works with it?

I converted to a hard boot setup this summer. Key disruptive boots + Phantom hardware. Despite some early snow this year, I’ve only been out in the backcountry once because I was focused on hunting. The day I got out was terrible conditions as we had super high winds and it didn’t go so well. More of a survival mode experiences

Rode this setup at the ski area yesterday and it took about 3 runs to get the boots dialed and figured out. After that, I was shredding. Boots felt great, even softer than some of the touring specific soft boots I’ve owned. Realistically, I’d have no problem riding this set up exclusively. No plans to do that, but it’s really that good. Not a harsh or twitchy ride at all. Walk mode is fantastic, too.

I didn’t renew any passes this season and plan to exclusively walk to get my turns. Always keeps the motivation high when you have some new goodies. Happy shreddin 🤘🏻

Just starting my uphill journey, ballin on a budget! wouldn’t have found this sweet deal if it were for y’all. bindings are next!

see yall up there 🤘

Let me know if you have a pair you could sell me! Just to clarify I want the stock atomic lever NOT the phantom link lever. No im not bailing on splitboarding just doing and experiment!

I’m asking because I have a substantial discount

I am setting up two splits with Spark Arc ST and their canted pucks. Similar to some other posts here, I find the pucks incredibly tight. This is not an install alignment issue. Sliding a single puck into the binding (nothing attached to the board) is very tough.

When the pucks are mounted, it take so much force to get the bindings off and on that I fear damaging the board, or my body, lol. Again, not an alignment issue, as the single pucks are just as hard to slide in and out when not attached to the board.

I have tried two sets of canted pucks (with the same binding). Both are the same.

I did try a pair of flat pucks. Those are tight, but much easier to slide in and out. I want to use canted pucks though.

One of the boards is my wife's. As the pucks are, there is no way she will have the strength to remove and install the bindings. It needs to be easier.

I've started to sand the pucks, which so far is only mildly helping. To double check, what part of the puck are people sanding down? I have sanded 'A' and 'B' in my basic diagram below.

I recently bought a new Splitboard (k2 freeloader with k2 pomoca skins) and I can’t decide wether to buy the step on bindings or sparks. I already have step on boots so that would’nt be the problem. Does anyone elae have experiences with these bindings?

Buying my first set of split poles, after browsing this sub for a bit it seems like people quite like the compactor (leaving out the Expedition 3 as I would like to be able to store the poles in my pack while riding)

Seeing if anyone has experience with the new John J compactor and worth the extra $50. Seems like the only real differences is the whippet attachment (which I highly doubt I’ll use), a longer grip, and the “toolbox” feature. In all honestly, it does not seem worth the extra cost for the features besides the longer handle as the compactor seems like it only has a short handle?! I was also thinking about the G3 pivot.

Definitely overthinking this but thought to post before pulling the trigger. Any input would be helpful

6’ 170ish lbs Looking for a split board with good float that will be fun for just messing around with family, but also something I’m able to push on slightly bigger terrain doing more freestyle/free ride stuff. I’m currently thinking of the orca techno split but looking for any recommendations.

Previous board was a stratos liked it nothing to complain about but unfortunately it broke last season.

I’d say I’m an advanced rider been riding for about 8 years.

Edit: after kind of thinking about what I wrong I want board that can handle free ride while preserving as much of a surfey feel as possible in lower slope pow

A seller in Germany is giving these away for 300 euros (I'll probably haggle down to 280 or so).

Is there something inherently wrong with them? Are bindings durable enough to be used for a while without integral wear and tear?

He says he used them for 2 seasons in like 10 tours. I'm just skeptical, 'cause these bindings usually go for 450 euros here, even the ones from last year.

I am 6’1 232 pounds and ride a Weston Backwoods 167 with Jones Mtb boa boots and Karakoram free ranger bindings. I just weighed my set up and it’s about 21 pounds. Is that insanely heavy? I feel like I get super gassed early compared to other people I ride with and I can’t tell if it’s my set up or my fitness level - interested to hear what others set ups under foot weight is.

Caught the bug with some friends after riding resorts for years and I’m going all in gear. Unbelievably stoked for get out there. Will be going out west soon for an AIARE class.

Noob question but I can't seem to find an answer online. What's the difference in hard boot splitboarding vs a ski touring boot. Do they have a different flex profile. I was looking at the spark dyno setup. Thanks.

Kind of a long story, but I have a brand new 162W Coda Camber split. Trying to decide if I should sell or keep it.

I rode it one time and had to warranty due to craftsmanship issues. It felt noodle and weird that one time, but I was on new boots that ended up being terrible and replaced. Can’t decide if I should give it another chance or sell it. I ride ventures usually.

I am 6'2", 280 lbs, with size 13 boots, and I'm looking for a backcountry splitboard that can handle my weight. I'm hoping there might be some bigger guys in this forum who have tried different setups and can offer advice.

My favorite backcountry days are powder days. I enjoy wide open fields and love getting into the trees on powder days too. I don't do jumps or tricks.

My current resort board is a 163W Burton Amplifier (I have to set the stance way back to make it work for me off-piste). I'm considering a Skunk Ape for a new resort board since my Amplifier is 7 years old now.

Here are the choices I've come up with for a split board: (they may be wrong for me, so please jump in if these won't work well for my weight or if you have a better recommendation):

• Weston Japow 169
• Weston Backwoods 167W
• Venture Paragon 168
• Jones Solution 169W
• Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Camber 168

*I plan to pair the board I choose with my K2 Maysis boots and I think I want Surge ST bindings

Venture paragon, spark arc st bindings

Hey dudes & ladies,

Pulled the trigger on a split board tonight to take advantage of living in the powder triangle in B.C.

I’ve been riding since for 14 years and go about 7-12 times to the local resorts a year. They’ve been “Whistler’d” lately and 135$ a day irks me remembering the days of 60$ a day.

I have a bunch of back country a 10 minute drive from my house and a girlfriend who tours on ski’s.

Current resort set up: 159W Arbor A frame, Lasso Pro’s, Cypress bindings.

I found a 163 Rossignol XV 2022/23 on a Canadian site for a steal tonight. 9/10 Stiff board the way I like it. There’s not much for videos or reviews, but those that I read had good things to say.

• From what I’ve read on here, due to reliability and simplicity leaning towards Spark Surge bindings/pucks which I can source from a local board shop.

G3 skins?

Black Diamond poles?

Any suggestions or people who are fans of Karakoram want to change my mind.

My boots, and especially the liners, are pretty beat. I'm on the fence between going for a new pair of boots or finally trying out a pair of Intuition liners. They're just down the street from me, so if I were to go that route I'd like to get something custom fitted and give my high arches a break for once.

A shop here in Germany is willing to sell me this board at around 300 euros. Can't find anything online about this board though - any tips on how good it is? I'm not too familiar with the brand as well, unfortunately.

I went shark fishing yesterday and caught a big one. I have a 2021 or so Milligram 166 cm. Anybody have a match lying around?
