The Direct Connect System are those 2 little triangles in the screenshot (bottom right)... still trying to figure out mounting angles from it.

I’m thinking the triangles rotate? And that they should point towards the edge. And aligning the point to the edge after twisting them or however you adjust them, “aligns” the frame to that angle.

Thanks. I've already seen that photo on this thread. I was hoping to see the screenshots from the catalog for any changes to the Falcor or Atlas etc. thx I'm also surprised the Kazu is based on the Atlas Pro, that's a stiffff binding.

It was that way at least last year, buddy of mine has them.

yeah def a freeride based binding with those angle restrictions. Looks like max is -3 / +21 for the back foot

I took it more as that’s what the angle it’s set at in this picture? -3 if it’s back foot, +21 if it’s front? Limiting it would be a bit interesting as it narrows in who can use it.

 

[BeegTex]

Yeah if it’s about response, which I would associate with freeriding, wouldn’t you want up to +30 front foot and up to +12ish on back?

More like a stiffer, responsive, and poppy passport. Camber profile is different as it supposedly doesn’t have rocker in the nose but is otherwise the same shape as the passport.
Regarding its stance versus the alchemist, the only thing I’m aware of is that it’s somewhere in the middle between the passport and alchemist.
I’m not sure about the purpose of removing rocker in the nose from a freeride standpoint, but from what I’ve been told from someone that’s ridden it, it’s a solid addition to the lineup.

I’m definitely not extremely well versed in how these lineups work/what makes a good one, but my understanding was the alchemist was the passport upgrade. They’re not the same deck or even a “pro” version but I thought the passport was “chill freeride” and alchemist was more of a “true freeride” deck. Wonder how they make those calls on the business side, as I’d be concerned about overlap. But I guess the people who would be confused aren’t the market for the commonwealth anyways.

Can someone please buy one of the amplid protos? I want to live vicariously through you.

 

[BeegTex]

Please convince me that the sm-090 or the SI-CA (Soulmate and singular mould), would be worth eating only oat meal and pasta with cheap pesto for a month or two extra

Me trying to justify taking from my emergency fund when I only have one more trip planned and a board i haven't even ridden yet.

After testing some models over the week, soulmate was my favorite shape but to slow and soft. So the proto was the way...

Nice! I do like that style of shape, directional taper with the little blunted swallowtail, so I wanted to but unfortunately wedding planning burns the cash.

 

[BeegTex]

You will only have that wedding once but use the snowboard many many times. Cut some of the wedding budget and increase the snowboard budget. get more for the money. (Yes, i am single)

That or I just buy it "for her" as a "suprise"

 

[BeegTex]

Possibly wrong thread but does anyone know more about this 32 hacking thing TRice mentioned on the bomb hole? He just threw that out there in the middle of a convo about bindings and no one bit.

 

[BeegTex]

I like how he just kinda softballed that into the conversation and let it move along, but it got my interest up too.

Well he had to move onto more important topics like convincing me I need a $700 boot 🤣
