This board does it all.īOARD ART BY: “Fantastic Acid” Tristan Mausse favorite from Tristan Mausse, aka “Fantastic Acid” from France, who’s passion for the psychedelic 70s and improv Jazz reverberates in his visually shocking, liquid resin surfboard art. All this on a firm flexing, poppy, stable, sustainable Aspen/Paulownia wood core body with a rugged sintered knife-cut base and eco sublimated graphics. Fast, precise carving radial sidecut smoothly rips top to bottom lines. A full sized easy entry nose blasts chunder and floats the pow. A fine tuned directional, set back, full tip to tail camber powers through carves and big landings. Matt Biolos’ "quiver killing" high performance all terrain squash tail built to absolutely kill everything on the mountain including your need for any other board. I can recommend the latter, especially if you’re fitting them to skis which have been drilled for a different binding to the one you’re fitting.LIB TECH LOST QUIVER KILLER SNOWBOARD - 2021 The inserts cost £2 each but can be bought in packs to lower the cost, and can be DIY or visit Jon to get them done for you. You can also argue that, with the same thread depth but a wider fitting, it’s a stronger mount too. It’ll make for much easier packing in the bag and also save a smidgen of weight only taking one set of bindings. (Bottom) Another insert manufacturer, Quiver Killer also is creating a template library (which may be. Binding Freedom, the maker of stainless steel binding inserts has created a growing library of alpine and AT templates. The end result? Two pairs of skis with stainless steel threaded mount points and one set of bindings to be swapped between them. Template Sources: Binding manufacturers often include templates in the box with new bindings (middle in image below). However, we noticed that the Griffons were mounted a bit further forward than needed, so by setting the holes for the Baron closer to the ‘classic’ position, we had plenty of room to play with. The job took a couple of hours in total, but that included a bit of gossip and a cuppa as well as working out the screw hole positions where the Griffons had been removed as they overlapped with those of the Baron. I’ll probably swap the basic Squires on my twin-tips with the now redundant Griffons that were taken off the powder skis. So yesterday, I popped along to see Jon Coster at the Piste Office to get my all mountain skis and powder planks quiver-killered so I can use my Baron bindings on both skis. It’s the same technology they’ve been using on snowboards for years and makes so much sense one you think about it. These little stainless steel threaded inserts are screwed and epoxied into the ski at the binding mount points and the bindings are attached using stainless steel machine screws rather than screwing into the core of the ski directly. This is exactly what Quiver Killers enable you to do. While it’s handy having different skis for different conditions, how many sets of bindings do you actually need? If you could easily swap the bindings between skis, then you only really need one set. I’ve got Marker baron on the all-mountain skis and had Griffon on the powder planks, I can only just fit all 3 in my SnoKart bag, but it’s a tight squeeze so I’ve found a solution to making ski carriage easier but also saving money in the long run. They comprise an all mountain ski, a fat powder ski and a pair of twin-tips. I have 3 pairs of skis in my quiver this year, stop sniggering at the back, I know that’s far too few.
