  1. Better than good condition, not quite excellent condition. Raichle 125 boots MP 27.5. $75.00 plus shipping.

    having trouble adding pics...email me if you want pics and I will send them to you.

  2. I am a newbie to the site and would first like to say thank you to all of the great feedback that I have recieved thus far...I also subscribe to a vintage triumph motorcycle discussion group and it is like night and day between the two....

    Am I correct in assuming that pretty much any board can be ridden with plates? I started getting into the whole hardboot thing during my last year of riding and I really loved it. I was no expert, but was definitely a competent carver. I am heading to snowbird and must admit that I am freking out a bit about riding in deeper snow on my current ride, which is a very old Rossi Accelerator..it is in mint condition, plenty of camber, etc, but I have never ridden it in deep snow. I also have a lib tech pacifier that is pretty stiff and 163 in length. Am I foolish to think that I will be able to ride this board in powder with hard boots? I am nervous that I the shear weight difference between hard and soft boots might make me submarine or sink. I am also concerned that I might damage the board if I really try to lay down some carves on groomers.

    Any input would be greatly appreciated..even if it is to tell me to "just do it" and stop being such a cry baby..

  3. Im gonna take a 172 lib tech litigator with me. My plan is to try it first in hard boots and hopefully stick to that...if I dont like it, I'll put softies on it and see how it goes. Ive tried something like this before in the past and basically always wanted the opposite of what I was riding...the grass is always greener...I do tend to over think things, thought. The problem may be more mental than equipment based.
