Great .... here are a few questions for starters:
- BTS system on boots, is it also advantageous for skwaling?
- skwal board limited to groomed slopes, true / false?
- what is approx. binding distance between front foot and back?
-
if your goal is freecarving you'll want to transition to snowboard specific boots when you have a chance.
Flexon mod suggestions greatly appreciated. Decided to take advice, went ahead and purchased hardboots. Surprisely inexpensive when purchased used.

Any skwal riders here to start discussion?

Alpine carving website states, "best go with yellow springs". My weight warrants blue springs, but, the stiffer springs might not be appropriate for the softer SB 423 plastic. Trying not to over analysis, maybe just go ahead with blue springs. Any pro / con thoughts?

To all (Alpine Ace, Trench Digger, Lord of the Ruts, Groomer Grommet, Carver Extraordinaire) ..... mucho gracias ..... though to be honest, me missin havin' the heart to actually dremel my Raichle's.
Decided mods for now:
1) looking into replacement tongues for added flex option(s), presently have the rather still "racing flex";
2) the comps came with three different options for liners: a standard liner, a Thermofit liner, or a Thermoflex liner. Contemplating adding footbed and upgrading to heat moldable liner from the existing Thermofit liner. Though I do like the attached velco power strap;
3) Concerned about the boot/binding interface. Any suggestions for replacement toe and heel pieces? Interestingly enough, some have experimented with attaching "vibram" hiking soles.
