Dynafit and Old Burton Splitboard?

Avatar

RE cycle, RE use, RE design

Custom Firstlight Slider pucks, rear with 5 deg cant.

If you don’t have a thing for Voile then this is your ride!


Any questions let me know!

dude, you’re going to have to explain a little better if you want me to click on your links. I’m using my full Sherlock Holmes powers of deduction to guess that you’ve come up with something new (sliders, right?). What’s different about yours compared to voile pucks? Does this work with sparks? How is it better than karakorams? Is it only for dynafits?

Just showing how some old gear can be brought back to life.
The Voile pucks have limited options on the Old Burton insert layout, so solid puck are the way to go.
You can also use pucks with cant, the black are 5 deg.
You can’t use Karakorams on these boards.
This setup suits those that have Dynafit boots.
If you want to use sparks / light rail or Triads you have to adapt to the Voile or Spark toe piece to use the Burton two hole inserts.

Thanks for the comments

They are Garmont Masterlites AT boots -  super light!
I converted to hard boots 3 years ago after being a Maluamute fan.
6 ankle ops and a recent ankle cartlige transplant make the Hard boot setup the perfect solution for me.
The only negative thing ive heard from the SB.com guys is that they can be so flexable they pop out of the bindings!
Your feet get a little cold too.

Ive made some prototpe voile plates

If you’ve never tried the Apline boot on a split give it a go.
Great edge hold, I did a season in Scarpa Spirt 3 , good boot, big volume shell but heavy.

Cheers
