Yes A-10s on the left and el hefes. Love em both. Just a solid simplistic stiff binding. Is the x-carve new for you? I got mine last season, this thing rips. Enjoy!!!
Unfortunately you have to go through the Zen Market(rakuten). Shred Gruumer picked these up last season and I was able to ride them for 3 days. As far as lateral stiffness goes I don't really notice much. The forward lean is crazy stiff, which works for me since I have a bad ankle.
Indeed they do, I swear by them. I to have malamutes and they really do an awesome job at keeping me locked in all. I tried them on my new talons with a duel boa but unfortunately it's tough getting around the dial. Not sure a like the boa system as they come loose alot.
Leg curls, super set with sissy squats. Get that nice pump in the quads. Leg press, super set with goblet squats. Slow and steady, feel the burn. Legs are sore for 3 days. Once a week that's all I need.
