  2. I have a 185cm white top sheet Kessler GS board. Built for the Canadian National Team. Made for a 180 lbs rider. Couldn't bulk enough to maker her bend in a course during the racing years. But is the best feeling board I have ever ridden at full 24 meter radius. Not enough time on snow and would love to see some pictures of someone digging trenches. Can and will add photos when available. 

    $500 or best offer

  4. A very good question! I recon it's about 90 or lower for 06/07 model with TF liner (much softer than my 110 ski boots) but probably contacting Deeluxe directly may answer your question better...

    Really that soft eh? Wow I guess if I got Deeluxe's than I would need the red tongue at least :eplus2:

    I will have to look into trying to resurrect my UPZ's :freak3:

  5. With you weight those 700's are stiff and suitable for racing. The normal RC10's of this year with the standard black medium tongue are way flexible (you can stiffen this by buying stiffer tongues and/or buy yourself a stiffer UPZ RC10 RCR, that are boots where the top plastic is thicker/stiffer (black colored)).

    I have heard that the UPZ normal black tongue is a 120 flex and since they are getting kind of old, when I ride hard I can almost buckle them in half. Do you know what the actual flex index stiffness of the Deeluxe boots are? I have seen on the FIS circuit that there is a red tongue for the Deeluxe boots which I assume is stiffer. I have thought about getting the new UPZ's with the silver tongue, which on their website is supposedly the stiffest one.

  6. I am sorry if this has already been posted. I tried to look for an older posting, but couldn't find one that fit my means of posting. To get to the point though. I was just wondering if anyone knew where the Deeluxe Track 700's lay on the flex index. I know they are moderately stiff. I have never actually ridden a pair. I need some knew boots next year. I squeezed an extra year out of my 2010 UPZ's. I weigh like 150-160 lbs. I am looking to race competitively but I also like to go cruise around. Any suggestions and information would be greatly appreciated.

  7. Sounds good, we meet upstairs the Paul Bunyan room on the Gondola side of the mountain at 7:30-8:00am. Cant miss us, there will be about 10-15 alpine boards up against the exterior window and a bunch of old hung over GUYS inside talking shop. Ask for BIG DUKE 6 or HOLLYWOOD. Also whats your email, I want to do pay pal prior to Saturday if thats ok with you. I want to put this up as sold, to let the other BOL's know that its spoken for. Let me know if you have a pass, if not I'll see if I can get a training voucher for you for Saturday.

    My email is 12mbraley at gmail dot com... I don't have a pass for Loon so if I could get a training voucher that would be amazing!! Were you guys meet is that were the USASA races usually are? We (as in Maine) have a race on Sunday if you guys are interested in USASA races

  8. Thank you for all the information it helped a lot! I am going to keep looking around. I think if I don't get the Dalbello's I am going to go with the new UPZ's'.

    These are good things to keep in mind!

    Advantages:

    Super stiff

    Fairly adjustable in terms of forward lean and side canting

    3 buckles were more convenient

    Increase in pressure control due to in-built heel lift and beam structure at the sole, allowing rider to crank much more pressure

    Strong edge feel during heel side turns

  9. The thing I was looking at with the Krypton's was the smooth forward flex and the lateral stiffness. They also fit my feet the best seeing how I have such a narrow foot. I also have a smaller foot so the longer sole length isn't that big of a problem, but I will have to look out for it. Possibly I could cut the soft tongue a little so that it has a softer forward flex. I have met one person personally that rides Krypton Cross boots and he says they fit well with the TD3 bindings.

    Forward lean you will want some sort of free flexing system but getting the neutral starting fwd lean position depends on how the boot works.

    By free flexing system are you talking about something like the BTS system or what the UPZ's have?

    And what do you mean by raising and lowering boot board? I am also on the same level as you on the laying down the pile of dough for the boots.

  10. Has anyone tried riding with the new Krypton Pro ID's. I have been contemplating getting these. I know that some of the pros ride them. I was just looking for a little more information. I weigh probably about 160lbs without gear on. I ride pretty agressively and am looking to race frequently this coming winter. Any advise would be amazing, thank you. :D
