  1. Oh, it's ok! Thanks anyway for the warning... Actually, I asked information posting my answers to the offers but... 4 on 5 didn't answer. Even when someone wrote in the message to write an email, he didn't answer to the email too. Boh?!... Thanks anyway!
  2. Thanks in advance for your help. Where did you see them, exactly?
  3. Up! Still searching for them... Fire boots, 25.5-26.0 (even just the shells). Ciao!
  4. I'e discovered that even the 25.5 size could fit my feet... I would buy even just the shell. So... summarizing... I'm looking for Burton Fire 25.5 or 26.0 size. :)
  5. @goncalo.sporting: 27 is too big for me... thank you anyway...
  6. @2012Alpine1: Thanks a lot... I would prefer "Fire" and, actually, I wouldn't know where to find toe pads... :)
  7. Hello, I'm (still) looking for a couple of the old Burton Fire boots (even simply the shells), size 25.5- 26.0, in good conditions (even without the internal liners)
  8. Hi, thanks a lot for the hint. Actually, I'm a little bit knock-kneeded and I set the only cant option that can advantage my legs on the Deeluxe Track 700 (a very poor system that allow only two position for cant). Actually, the Track 700 system seems to be a really poor system: you can just be in a position or in the other. :( I have to find somewhere else the problem, even coming back to the lift under the front toe that was making me be more comfortable even if with a more straight leg. :)
  9. As first, THANK YOU all for all of the suggestions/opinions. I've got many tips to try and tune. I'm 170cm tall but, concerning stance, I've tried several widths, always missing something. When I'm comfortable with width, I can't bend totally my kees; when I can go lower with my back, my back foot is trying to "open"; when everything was comfortable, I don't like my position while watching some frames. :) I've now got some hints and I'm very curious to test them and to mix them into the best setting. Anyway, it's unbelievable that, even after years of alpine riding, a rider can still find room for improvement even just about board/binding settings!!! :) And it's even more unbelievable that... a rider can find this part to be one of the most "fascinating". :D Thanks a lot once again!

  10. Hello everybody, I would ask for an opinion about something strange I'm experiencing with my stance setup. I've got a Kessler 168 (20cm waisted), TD2 Bindings and Track 700 boots. I used to ride with 3° cant disk on the front (all for lifting the front toe) 6° on the back (all for lifting the back heel) 57°/53° 48cm stance. It was comfortable for the riding but I noticed that my front leg was almost straight on the backside carve (and I don't know if it's right since it's, for sure, ugly to be seen). Then I tried the following: 0° cant disk on the front 6° cant disk on the back (at 70°, so splitted between cant/heel-lift) same angles and stance. Everything is properly for the frontside (and the position seems to be visually better) but... while I try to carve backside, I feel as if my rear foot would be trying to open itself (as if the tip of the foot would like to go toward the tail of the board, blocked only by the boot shell, producing pain at the ankle). This is the only bad feeling (nothing on the front foot, hips, etc). It seems that it can be solved with lower angle (following what the back foot would do) but... with 53° I'm already on the edges. Any idea about?! The more I bend the knees (as it should be in the turn progression), the strong my foot tip try to "open". Thanks a lot for every opinion/suggestion!
