OkemoLoon 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Samurai your right, the freerides are 412g lighter than the dukes. Link to post Share on other sites
quattro 1 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm not an AT type but I thought the dukes were suppose to one of the heavier bindings. KOM Expect to pay about 2 mon for a BD or G3 skin for your Gots. If any one gets a chance they should try this years Verdict. Real sweet. Link to post Share on other sites

quattro 1 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 CB What brand skins were they. Thats a deal and a half. Up here there blody expensive. Has any one seen a BD Guide Probe 300cm. Cant seem to find any in Sapporo. The other option was an orthovox 320 @ 120000 yen which I refuse to pay. Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect they were a brand called something like "Collins". Don't remember the exact name, but they were in the store when I was there. I got them to trim me a set of G3s for just under 18k, not particularly cheap but they did a great job. Link to post Share on other sites

Now that is a steal! Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't actually at Nick's for that much time, and as I didn't know your face (it's possible I might have been introduced to you before, but in that case I would remember your real name and not SJ name most likely) I didn't feel I could go around asking everyone "are you Kumapix?" to be greeted with blank stares! Next time will try harder, hopefully this weekend if you are around. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm very easy to identify - I have the most offensive to the eyes white and green jacket you have ever seen. There may be photos and the story behind it tomorrow if I can gte together the weekend's work. Otherwise I am fairly indescript - thin, pasty, average height white guy with dark hair and English accent. Link to post Share on other sites
