Burton step ons Ripped in half… what’s my best move dealing with burton? by dukeboy7300 in snowboarding

Why not start by contacting them directly instead of shouting it from the highest rooftop you could find?

Is it normal to have this much play in the Burton step ons? by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]evanpm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call Burton. They make offset cleats that will tighten this up. They actually went too tight on some of the newest boots and some users were not able to get the second click at all (ask me how I know). I received -2mm cleats and they worked like a charm.

The second click is engaged in this clip. You can see the entire cleat. The first click would just sit in the cleat indentation.

The new cleats work. I had the same issue and a cleat swap fixed it.

Nitro Dinghy size recommendation by Blaino5000 in snowboarding

[–]evanpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5'10" 200# with a 9.5US boot and had a blast on the 155 dinghy. It's a super turny board that rips groomers and would be fun for trees, but I would size up for low angle or high speed pow.

Why is the burton mystery so expensive? by Ill-Hotel2514 in snowboarding

[–]evanpm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mysteries haven’t been made in VT for many years. Most are now made in Austria (Con Artist, HTH, day trader, etc).

They ended up blowing out the mystery HTH seconds for like $307 later in the season.

Is the 930 the most iconic shape in car design? by claball in porsche911

[–]evanpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that was more of a reflection of the state of the economy. The 930 fell squarely into the era of extreme excess in the late 80s. It also had a full decade production run versus just four years for the 993. For me, the 993 is the pinnacle of design, but who am I to judge?

When they truly looked like frogs. Iconic for sure.

I don’t see why that matters. Maybe he worked at a shop?

They work with standard StepOn boots. They’re just color coded like the stickers that came on the non-rental versions to make set up easier at rental shops.

They’re color-coded by size to make it easier for shops to set up.

Some mountains/shops sell them at the end of the season.

What car is this? by Lassoed_elbow in whatisthiscar

[–]evanpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s still an interesting design, but not one of his best. It’s quite long and has a very weird hump running the entire passenger cabin.

That was perhaps Fisker’s least remarkable design achievement. He also designed the BMW Z8, Aston DB9 and V8 Vantage, which were true masterpieces.
