Lookout is awesome and has upgraded a lot since I was there, and is still affordable.

I’m currently in Canada the binding are a little troublesome & not a performance piece of equipment when using the step in set up, because it allows to much movement! Extra snow or uneven footing under the board make the release difficult, groomed firm surfaces make it easier both in & out. If someone is less flexible i recommend using a small dole-rod to make the reach about 6” long. The lever currently used could have better leverage by making it point upward more; just my two cents!

I like the Supermatic but it can be a little fiddly, however the convinces is great. Still the coming out is a slightly longer process due to the push down lever for release! The highback not folding down on the heelside into the path of the push foot is something that I would consider problematic on the flow or nidecker rear entry systems! So like most binding's pro's & con's seem standard, hope this helps?

Here's my PSA. Be mindful when purchasing low profile boots (such as the Ride Fuses). I bought a pair and had them professionally fit only to find that they still caused insane foot pain 2 seasons after purchasing. I immediately thought it was the bindings and bought new bindings (nope). Thought it was my boards width (nope). Thought maybe I'm just out of shape and started doing foot stretches and exercises (nope). It turns out because they are low profile they don't sit snuggly in the heelcup of most bindings so anytime when you are trying to drive your toe side edge, the boot will slip out of the heelcup and leave you trying to drive the board with the balls of your feet and your toes. This causes severe foot fatigue and pain in that area that is fighting for stability and drive. They are good boots but they need to work with your bindings. What bindings work with these boots? No idea. Maybe something in the Ride lineup but my Stratas, NOW Drives, and Rome Katanas all do not work with these, especially the NOW Drives.
@ShredAheadSnowboarding6 ай бұрын
Sorry to hear about so much foot pain. I've worn a lot of different boots over the last 30 years and one of the most important things i've come up with is changing the foot bed to a good heat molded insole. Not having a high arch foot and a small ankle I like the Fuse especially with the taco warp liner. I also learned though & trail and error to tighten the internal BOA in the shin area prior to lacing up; this pulls my heel back deep in the pocket and I have no movement inside the boot! However it additionally sounds like you are have a boot binding issues, so it is interesting? Maybe you should look at the compatibility by taking whatever boot feels the best to you and ask to fit it into a binding while in the shop? Hope you find and way to get rid of the pain and a ride that works for your shredding! Thanks for your input and insight!

I think most boards can run a carve line but for me I'm older and a little more laid back and love just cruising with a flatter board at medium speeds. The Dada is a short and medium radius carving ride and for me doesn't have the deep carving line for trenching it is also a shorter radius player I would go more with something like the "Holy Grail" check out Avran review he'll lay out a fit!

Either way we pass by both each day going to the mountain so we could throw in the car with us! It will work if we get to that point.

I immediately thought it was the bindings and bought new bindings (nope). Thought it was my boards width (nope). Thought maybe I'm just out of shape and started doing foot stretches and exercises (nope). It turns out because they are low profile they don't sit snuggly in the heelcup of most bindings so anytime when you are trying to drive your toe side edge, the boot will slip out of the heelcup and leave you trying to drive the board with the balls of your feet and your toes. This causes severe foot fatigue and pain in that area that is fighting for stability and drive. They are good boots but they need to work with your bindings. What bindings work with these boots? No idea. Maybe something in the Ride lineup but my Stratas, NOW Drives, and Rome Katanas all do not work with these, especially the NOW Drives.
Sorry to hear about so much foot pain. I've worn a lot of different boots over the last 30 years and one of the most important things i've come up with is changing the foot bed to a good heat molded insole. Not having a high arch foot and a small ankle I like the Fuse especially with the taco warp liner. I also learned though & trail and error to tighten the internal BOA in the shin area prior to lacing up; this pulls my heel back deep in the pocket and I have no movement inside the boot! However it additionally sounds like you are have a boot binding issues, so it is interesting? Maybe you should look at the compatibility by taking whatever boot feels the best to you and ask to fit it into a binding while in the shop? Hope you find and way to get rid of the pain and a ride that works for your shredding! Thanks for your input and insight!
My katanas work fine with a pair of fuses for 3 years
You think its a good board for laying deep trenches with such a wide waist? How does the edge hold feel when laying deep carves?
I think most boards can run a carve line but for me I'm older and a little more laid back and love just cruising with a flatter board at medium speeds. The Dada is a short and medium radius carving ride and for me doesn't have the deep carving line for trenching it is also a shorter radius player I would go more with something like the "Holy Grail" check out Avran review he'll lay out a fit!
1k subscribers... That's Awesome!!!
🎉
You guys rock! Congrats on the 1K Subscribers!
Thanks so much!!
Snows going to get better, you're at the 1k mark, and you're still riding. HELL YEAH BOYS!
Thanks; Avran you've had our back for a while and we appreciate that! We're just trying to help other's shred and enjoy the freedom of the mountains. Oh if you have any extra stickers I could use some for my box on the vehicle? To spread the Shred!
Snow did get better...polar vortex and 30mph winds are a slight delay now. Got a sticker to give to you. A friend had it made. Need a snailmail address....Thank you too for the encouragement and support
awesome Jim & Ted grats!! I will be seeing you guys up there !! Be sure to get some great homemade sandwiches and cookies in the new Hut at lookout. She makes that stuff every day!
Sounds good!
Congrats guys!
s Shortly I'll put her 5th day skiing on a video; it should show how incredibly she is doing from this video, plus I follow up with little fixes as needed! We really do improve skills not just talk about them!
Well if anyone is interested Brendan has been riding his set up for a couple of weeks now and thoroughly enjoys his carving and overall ride.
As I alluded to previously I was thinking of spending 5 days at your area to see if you two can resurrect my snowboard career after going from boarding to skiing 20 years ago( now 76). When I left boarding I was decent cruiser no tricks or park . Last season I took some lessons in vt and was a bit clumsy but seemed to be able to turn. How would we go about doing this if I decided to visit?
Stewart we would be more than happy to help you out! What we'll do is obviously watch our weather pattern and keep you updated on mountain conditions; lately our snow quality sucks it very much east coast type of old tight icy snow with extremely low base pack! I have a friend who has a one bedroom unit condo in Kellogg Idaho and other who rents rooms I believe in Mullan Id very near the mountain. Either way we pass by both each day going to the mountain so we could throw in the car with us! It will work if we get to that point. Looking forward to new snow and meeting another rider in the relative age group plus we would really like the challenge!! Jim & Ted

So close to 1000 subscribers! Happy 2024 dudes.
Thanks Adam, we are trying to hit the mark; but we should be happy since starting up a little over 5 season's ago. Were happy because you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink! The hard part is we fix at least 10 people per day out on the mountains and half of them are also skiers, but very few will actually subscribe.
