Monster Plates

Asymmetric plate is reversible for regular/goofy
These plates are unique in that they are designed to remove the "stiff point" under the binding chassis (makes for a more even board flex and also there is less likelihood of a board breaking at the binding from crimping), increase board damping, and allows you to adjust the flex and stiffness of the board ends. In addition, they are adjustable in height (by adding 1mm x 20mm OD washers between the bumpers and the underside of the plate you can add about 1mm at a time).
.
If you move the plates towards the ends, relative to the binding position selected, it'll make board ends stiffer. Move them towards the centre to give the board ends more flex.
These can be used with any board type and style if you like a raised foot, but they're especially useful on the carving boards to reduce boot drag, increase edging power, and create a more even flex pattern in the board for carving.
.
Sold as a pair. Select asymmetric (asym front, symmetrical rear foot) or Symmetric (both feet are the same). Comes with all mounting hardware.
Mounting Instructions:
Screw the 4 screw extenders (per plate) into the board inserts, with the small washer between the extender and the board surface.
Screw the 12 damping bumbers to the underside of the plate, threading the screw through the top, and adding the lock nut to the inside of the bumper. Do not over tighten - this will crack the plate and compress the bumpers unevenly. A snug fit is all that's required.
Place the plate over the screw extenders, aligning your desired holes, place your binding on top, and screw binding to the board as you usually would.
