    Nidecker Talon arrived to me, they are even more comfortable than Insanos, but in one of them i can move my ankle just a little bit. I wonder if I I should consider it as something bad or it can stay like that. Any advice, it should be dead lock? It's not a huge movement but it's there.

    With bindings, I managed to get Ride A-10 with a nice price tag and I think I will keep them.

     

    One more thought, I bought M size which Ride says it fits the size below 280, my Talons are 275 but they stick out just a bit. Is that ok?

    Check out angrysnowboarder boot fitting 101 video guides. Worth it.

    And get some of this: https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B07G4BTL4Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

  11. Slice board

    The slice is an amasing soft boot carver. I want one so bad. Paired with some really stiff binding this could mean the end of my hardbooting career 😱

     

    Oh and the one I tried had the asymetrical mumbojumbo for a goofy rider and rode it regular with no issue. Carved like a dream  and much more tame them the BFXR I tried.

    I am so impressed with them as I was very skeptical of both the skatetech and their response after riding the Jones/Now Apollo’s (which were a bit soft for my tastes).  

    Jones Apollo are soft to you ?  You Monster ! 

    always wondered which Now binding they were made of. Definatly stiffer the Drive, but "softer" the O-Drive. Guess that would be the Recon ? 

    I agree on one thing Genesis X are noodles compared to the Apollo. Love the Gen-X none the less. 

  14. What boards did you ride this season?

    This year I pared Paired my Fullbag HammerHead with some Jones Apollo Bindings at 30/+9. This is now my go to setup for carving....I feel dirty. Although I did try a Coiler Slice and I really want one with 28.5 width at the inserts. Just need to find loose $$$.

    And for cruising around/ go anywhere good Ol' Blunt Diamond with Cartels.

    Took the hardboots out twice: One perfect morning on my favorite run for 1 hour before customer could use the chairs on my Stubby2.0. and one cardio morning on a SG163. This thing is nuts. Fun to try, but I am glad I just paid 50$ for it. Not my cup of Tea. 

    I have become too picky on which snow conditions and how much trafic I am willing to deal with on my hardboots.

  15. Stiff Boa Boot?

    in Carving Central

    K2 Thraxis are fine, K2 Holgate are quite stiff too. Just make surre they're the right boot for your foot. If you have a frankenfoot the triple BOA is great. Never had a BOA loosen up on me.

    K2 boot quality is a hit or miss. My K2 maysis plus stiching failed, so did this year Holgate. Although never had issue with the Thraxis.

     

  22. Soft Boots

    First thing first: have your fit measured both for lenght and width. Buy your softboot in Mondo size like you'd do with your hardboot.
    Second: go to a shop and try all the boots brands. Not one company fits alike. I have a K2 foot, no point trying to fit into a driver X or anything else. The only thing holding my feet properly is K2. So find the brand your foot is the most secured in and get the stiffest boot they got.

    If you have wide feet your choices are limited. So far, I know of the Maysis Wide, burton ruler wide and burton photon I believe.

    Try them all. Do not shop for a perticular model.
