Cool story. I'll take the lift

I had the fold-out poster when I was a teenager. I'd love to get a nice clean poster for framing! Such an iconic photo!

I have them in my primary softboot set up(ride insanos). I have Intuition wrap liners in my other boots as well(power wraps & 2 sets of plugs). for me, they only add about 1.5" of extra height over my other intuition liners, so height isnt an issue. with that said, I do like them & recommend them. They have good support. They are not super stiff like the power wraps, but work real well with stiff outers like the Insano & Thraxis.

The Deeluxe Edge Pros arrived today. I will try them tomorrow. Initial impressions are that the outer shell is very stiff (probably the stiffest I have ever seen). My current soft boot setup is a pair of Insanos with Intuition SBC wrap liners. That is my most comfortable softy set up but stiff quote stiff. I also have a pair of K2 Thraxis with Intuition Power Wrap liners & those are the stiffest soft boot set up I have used. They take a little while to get used to. Without riding them yet, what I like about the Edge Pros is super stiff shell/tongue, power strap, ankle harness for liner, lacing system is new to me, but seems good & the boa for the ankle hold. I do not like the liner! It is quite soft & has a huge, padded tongue. The tongue is so bulky that it prevents the outer/shell tongue from being pressed in tight against my shins. I will try them out in the stock configuration, but will most likely get a pair of intuition liners for them.

Looking to try a set of Donek BX plates. Thanks

Thanks. Will do!

On my first day of the season, second run I lost my edge & went to my ass. Not a bad spill at all, but I happened to also catch my thumb on the fall & completely severed my UCL (Skier's Thumb). Surgery set for Tuesday 12/27. Doctor says I'll be in a brace for 5-6 weeks & a couple months of PT. Its amazing how much you cant do without your thumb!

Jeremiah is great. While you are there, check out his old Ride Kildy alpine board next to the stairs to the loft. Old School!

wow. Bruce was able to do 28 wide? Titanal? If so, I need one of these in my life.

Pro Tune in Jackson, NH. The owner (Jeremiah) is also the in house team tech for my kids race team. Andes Ski Shop in Bartlett, NH. They have a couple of Wintersteiger base grinders that can put different structures in.

I agree. I have very wide feet & I had my 425s blown out for me.

I have the same problem. I have pretty steep angles on my 22 wide Coiler. I had Donek make me a 24.5 wide Free Carve & it is a blast! Photo to illustrate the angles. Angles are still too steep to try with soft boots & I run a "stiff" softbook set up.

Thanks Pierre!

thanks Pierre. Text sent! Mike
