@@gowiththeflowyoga you’re welcome Katie!

@@joelvalencia2020 I used to use plastic lawn chairs lol

@@DeakonTeller6995 Have you used them? On the tour up, they are phenomenal. Stiff and you just don’t lose a lot of energy to unnecessary flexing. They don’t respond as well as dedicated snowboard bindings, BUT, in powder I was surfing and chilling. On the ride down, when surface conditions are less than ideal, so are the bindings. Being metal base, they transmit everything into the boot. Not horrible, but i wish they made a canted pad insert. Union has nice splitboard bindings, but I’ve heard they suck on the way up. Gonna be a good composite flex binding for the ride down though. I’m going to ride them at ski area this season to test it all out in predictable conditions when my legs aren’t cooked from bourse of skinning.

@LagmasterB thanks for the review. I have not used them. I pulled the trigger and purchased them last night. I got the freeloader and it came with pucks so I went with what made sense.

@ I think unions are an option. Try the Farouts for a season and see what you think. I’m actually going part way up Mt Hood tomorrow.

@@LagmasterB are you saying unions fit k2 pucks?

@ no..but you can fit their system on freeloader

@@markvangerwen3740 hell yeah!!

@@Carlitos-m6r fouled plugs..tested them by cycling starter button while holding spark end close to engine block. Spark plug connected to its coil pack. Got a weak brownish spark and thought I was ok. New owner was riding it around at very low rpm’s and stalling it. Fouled the plugs. Idiot.

How did you hook this up?

@@FluxNationStudios Sick! This is exactly why I did it. So glad it helped. What part of the county/world do you live? Did you just buy the setup, or last season?

@@LagmasterB just bought the setup. This’ll be my first season splitboarding. Been saying for 3 years I’m gonna get into it, finally pulled the trigger. I live in Montana near Whitefish

@@FluxNationStudios That’s awesome. I only got in 3 days last season, first season trying it. Whitefish is awesome. Lots of places to go. East. North. I need to make it up to Fernie. Lars from Justaride lives there. I’m in Spokane if you ever wanna meet up at Schweitzer or Lookout Pass!

@@martinseanhunt he know a great board when he sees one

Thanks brother!! 🙏🏻

@@jiblyjably fair when the snow is off-season snow. I need to resort ride it in good snow to compare. I have not had it in good snow yet.

17k now. Sold it.

Harbor Freight. You rent the same thing from O’Reilly’s or Autozone.

Use this to get length (don’t worry about width). Heel against a wall. Paper butted up against same wall. Do this on hard floor (eg. tile, concrete, wood floor). Rest normal weight on foot. Make line at end of big toe. Do each foot. Come back here with measurement and I’ll look it up for you…or google a Mondopoint or centimeter shoe size conversion chart.

th-cam.com/video/mooUy3UqnB8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SxLOzSl5ZkiGQt2t

⁠​⁠@@LagmasterBGreat review! I’m 10,5 US (just measured 25,7cm Left and 25,5 right). What size do you recommend? Cheers!

@@pabloautran1437 thanks man! I love these boots. I got a second pair lol. So you’re 7.5 and 7.75. Going with longer foot, I’d say an 8. That will allow for a good range of thin to thick socks. Get them molded at REI or a local shop. I’m 26cm and I got size 8 and heat molded them and they’re pretty snug. If I went 8.5, heel would still be good and I’d have a little more toe box room. This goes for Vans. Can’t speak to other boots. But most are probably pretty close when you heat mold. You might be able to get away with a 7.5, but I think 8’s would be perfect.

10.5 is tough. Do you have other 10.5 to compare to? Put them on a table, side by side, backsides down, toes up. If your footprint is smaller on newer boots, go M. If larger footprint than older boots, go L. Newer boots tend to have smaller footprints for a given intended size. The pucks have a little adjustment, so if you have like half a size of toe drag, you could negate that with the pucks. Another thing to consider is that the baseplate is massive on these (ie. You can fit a wider boot than almost anyone makes), so the L’s could be absolute boats. They do have heel locks. 4:25. Hope this all helps.

Mine are good. How long you had them?

Haven't had a chance to ride bindings/splitboard yet. Horrible season up here in PNW right now. Slow start, great snow, now rain again. Probably gonna be a lot of late season touring reviews on this setup here on my channel. Wish I could get you more info!

It is OG mid layer. Good eye. Mid 2000’s. Mine are still a touch tight but getting better. 32 Jones MTB that I flash in there, are up for sale while they’re unused. Harder insoles never gonna pack out in those.

Lol

Yo!! I have not ridden Excavator yet. I was too excited to get on the Ravine Select. I’ll be riding the Excavator maybe tomorrow (1/16), definitely Wednesday and Thursday (1/17-1/18). Big storm cycle coming through tomorrow night. I can tell you that the 158 Ravine floated better than my 154 K2 Instrument (volume shifted like Excavator). Excavator is basically a powder version of the Instrument, in my book. Little more taper + fish tail. The problem with the powder I was in, was that it was very heavy. PNW cement. So it was catchy, transitions in trees were not as crisp as they could have been. I’m taking the Ravine Select and Excavator both with me. I’ll give you a better comparison end of this week. I chose Ravine Select > Stale Fish. Don’t know if it was the best idea for my style of riding or not. I’ll find out as my legs get stronger and I ride more varied terrain.

Ok. Gave the Ravine the full day, with powder and a few tracked out areas. I’m at reference stance but with front binding moved back 1 set of inserts. Amazing float dude. Just effortless. Pick your line and go. Really good at NOT washing out when I cut through powder to bumps. Angry Snowboarder said it best: little damp, retains liveliness. I didn’t get bucked, but you need strong legs to ride through tracked-out snow and chop. Really good at leaving the ground, launches itself off jumps. Again, little lively on landing, but strong legs gets you confidently out of choppy landing. I’d say it’s an A-game board for Advanced riders. For expert riders? Who knows. Nose did dive a couple times and got me stuck. Probably user error. Gonna try to ride the Excavator tomorrow. But man, this Ravine Select is a fun f’ing board.

@@LagmasterB Just scored a new model at 30% discount so stoked to hear it!!

@@markosilhard2326 That’s a smokin deal!! What size did you get?

@@LagmasterB 158

Thanks man. Any specific questions let me know!

Going to Crystal on Tuesday. Horrifying start to season up here in PNW.

Those are 2022 ThirtyTwo Jones MTB’s

Thanks man!! Glad you enjoyed. I was so close to getting Tridents last season. Salomon Malamutes. K2 Waives. Both for touring. Tridents definitely on the short list. I heat molded the ThirtyTwo Jones MTB’s that show up in video. Toe box still too tight. Gonna go to a shop this week and get them redone. REI didn’t have a toe cap or any way to punch out the toe box. Liners on the 32 Jones are surrounded by a harder foam, so that’s gotta stretch in order for inner foam to stretch. Once I get some trips on them, I’ll do a review.

@@LagmasterBGood luck! Sore toes while touring…that‘s the worst. I wish that the indutry would cater more to splitboarding boots but it remains such a niche. And all feet are different. One boot in three widths like they do for hockey skates, that would be awesome!

Congrats on new boots. I think it’s just the thin outer material of snow sleeve getting rubbed by bindings. It’s a two layer sleeve, the inner probably more durable. We will see how bad it gets. Keep me posted.

Did you get boot liners heat molded?

Focusing on that area (lower boa) In my opinion, the fabric has to much tension, what is more, the edges of the ankle strap are rubbing on the high points of the boot under the gaiter. If you check those points where it rubs, it is exactly where the BOA cables go... So I think this is a bad design. I love the boot, and it fit me incredibly, but it makes me sick to think that I have paid 600$ for these and I have had issues since day 1. I will keep you informed. @@LagmasterB

No I did not... @@LagmasterB

@@MochilerosRastreros I see where you’re talking about. My saving grace is that the snow flap is a luxury piece and not crucial to the function of the boot.

Somehow, someway I wanted this to save someone/help them decide hahahaha

You think so? Why?

Carbon infused 5500 race base and a graphic that is classic, supposedly they've changed the core as well.. great board

@@Diesel0807 I like base but yeah, top sheet is meh.

🫶🏼

🙏🏻 you’re so so welcome!!

Awesome man! This is exactly the intention of the video. Any questions or you need a deep dive on something let me know.

Sick! What part of country do you live?

@@LagmasterBAlaska

@@austinhonig3845 jealous!!! you have a TH-cam channel or instagram?

Pros: responsiveness, turn initiation, easier butters and presses. Cons: can push boot forward in binding, giving more toe drag. You can adjust this back out if you have an adjustable heelcup or move binding disc back just a little. Heelcup adjustment is preferable for me because I like all the benefits of toe ramp.

Also, if you run much more than 15° you’re not gonna have enough high back adjustment to square up in most bindings

Yeah that sucked. But Season 2 it’s all gonna transfer.

@@LagmasterB oh shit really !?

@@DimeszTV this is the word on the street

Nice dude. Did it help? Where did you ride?

I should have said “for me”. TIG puts a lot of heat down because I’m not that good at it, as I am with MIG. I guess for shorter runs, like this, TIG would be good. But for just some short, solid, deep welds in steel this thick, MIG is quick, MIG is efficient. All I have is a Square Wave 200 and I’d definitely be using all of it for 3/8 steel. Also, it was getting rattle canned nice bright orange. That’s the best thing about welding, many different ways to attack.

Also, anyone cannot learn how to MIG weld cleanly and reliably in 20 minutes.

Have fun!

What kind of bike?

Hard to tell if they’re related. Get stator from Rick’s Motorsport Electric. 21k they could both easily go out. Do research on your bike and make sure that stator wasn’t in a place where it sees a lot of heat. A minor relocation might be in order....How many HID ballasts? One or 2?

Wrong. The tire has to uncompress on the top half of its rotation, so the radius changes. Bottom half x 2 gives you incorrect reading.

Rarely, yes, the magneto can wear out

@@LagmasterB 13v dont charging battery?
