  5. Hard boots Vs. Ski boots (by a hardcore ski booter)

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Due to budget I have used Technica Icons the past 4 years. I had no problem but haven't had the budget to try any board boots. This year I scraped together what I could and bought those awesome flourescent boots you see in my icon :lol:. Ski boots worked fine for me, I had fun on them, and still had people on the lifts eyeing my trenches. After joining this board, I decided to try out snowboard boots mainly because all of the negative feedback about ski boots. This many people can't all be wrong.

    When I was 14 or something, I had an older friend who raced at a competing mountain. Only difference was I was a skier and he was an alpine dude. Anyway, he had a Mistral Sonic and until this day I think about how awesome that board was. I knew nothing about it but as any kid would do, it looked sweet so I wanted it. I was dissapointed when I found out they had been bought up. I really wanted my childhood dream deck! Now for the question, were they any good or was I just a wide eyed kid?

    First off, I am a big fan of Jap bikes, but fall victim to Italian engineering in every way.

  22. Skiing?

    I ski raced for 10 years before hardbooting and here's my opinion/observation. Learning to ski is pretty easy, skiing great and ripping turns like your on a hardboot deck takes some time. Nothing has given me almost instant gratification like hardbooting.

    Not a huge sense of urgency here, as I won't be able to afford until next season, but I wanted to begin to commence the drooling. I have casually looked online to see if/where you could purchase Tinklers, but found nothing but pictures of happy owners. It's kind of hard to search all day as I would love to do, because the suits are on the prowl. Could anyone give me an idea so I could start counting my beans and rationing groceries?

    Thanks
