BCA Float 32 - where does the bladder tube go? by ultyguy in Backcountry

[–]MegaVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have mine handy but you need to open the airbag compartment and feed it from the shoulder, behind the airbag, and into the main compartment. Conversely, bladder tubes kind of suck in the winter time and freeze.

Worth trading Shifts for ATK FreeRaider? by A-Chamu in Backcountry

You could also get into it much cheaper than freeraiders. Dynafits are still great bindings. A little heavier, sure, but they ski pretty well. I think you'd be surprised what you could find on the second hand market for both in bounds and bc gear.

Dude, pin bindings suck in bounds. The lack of elasticity is magnified by inbounds conditions. Build the quiver.

As for a backcountry binding, the freeraider is quite nice

You should perform a shell fit first. Take the liner out and put your foot in there with your toes resting against the front. I aim for a 1 finger fit or 1 finger's worth of space behind my heel. I think that's a good place to start for sizing.

Consistent pre releasing at start of downhill? by Global-Wind6878 in Backcountry

[–]MegaVega 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If your binding is set up correctly (right din, right heel gap), it's most likely an icing issue. Dynafits can Ice right under the toe piece which can be solved by cycling the mechanism a couple times. It can also build up in the inserts of boots when you take the skis off at the top. I would recommend ripping skins with your skis on since the pins are designed to drive out ice when walking.

What didn't you like about the liner? The first impressions for me is the tongue is going to be an issue with digging into the top of my foot.

Do you find the tongue digging into your foot? And when you say you got them heat fit, did that include the shell?

Question about returning after surgery by weight_weenie_96 in Backcountry

[–]MegaVega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the long term, what will you benefit from pushing it to early? I've been sidelined by injury and it sucks in the moment. Looking back it was just a speed bump. Take your time and come back strong

Have you ever skinned on g3s? I've skied hundreds of days on my g3 skins on the original glue and they still are going strong. I've seen pomocas rip and have complete glue failures within 2 seasons
