NoFakie 45 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Lots of wrongs don't make a right, and those other companies aren't as associated with getting away from life and all its pressures, commercial ones being some of them, into the backcountry. JJ talks about it that side of snowboarding all the time in his films. I don't pay that much attention, but the Rossi boards he rode seemed to have nice designs with less conspicous logos. That Jones one is about the most conspicuous one I've ever seen! Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 I totally agree. I would love there to be a different graphic on the base. As well, after watching Further, I get the feeling that there is a lot of BS that goes into the 'get away from it all' catch phrase. Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yes but it is still a great vid and he rips. I have spent all my life walking around with Billabong and Quicksilver plastered over my teeshirts in every available font. If you can make money from doing what you love and he does put his balls on the line then go for it rather him than some corporate fat cat (although I am sure there is one at Nidecker) Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Thanks for the review BM. Really interested in yours and others feedback on powder boards especially ones that perform amongst the trees. +1 Can't wait to see what my Khyber rides like! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki-Uma 0 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yes I will have to work out stance as it looks a bit different maybe one forward of furtherest back. I tried to screw in about 6 different screws without bindings but none will go in easy, I think I will take it back to Mainpeak and get them to screw them in. Hi Seemore Did you get the problem sorted out at MainPeak? Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Snowpony yes just had to use some ride binding srews that seemed to go in better than the Burtons they are pretty tight though Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 do they have that line of resin on them? What's that for anyway.......extra grip?? Link to post Share on other sites
surfarthur 22 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Is that the blue stuff on the screw you are talking about TB? Thats locktite to make sure the screws don't unsrew by themselves. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yeah that's what Im on about......overkill really. My 1st bindings didn't have that and they were fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 You're not riding hard enough!! Burton screws are actually slightly shorter than most so it's not really a bad thing to have on them. Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 No it was as if the original die (i think that is the word) didn't cut the thread properly I have 3 new boards in the house and none of the had a problem screwing in. I even peeled off the loctite but still wasn't comfortable screwing them in as I thought it might thread the hole. There are worse things in life than a tight hole though Link to post Share on other sites
