    Your advice is very much appreciated. The system needs small improvements and also a little weight loss; in the next days I meet with Drupi to study some solutions and to try the boots on the snow.

    Another work in progress for the super light Atomic Backland. Here is on my boots and some small improvements and then I think the system will be perfect. Thanks a lot to Drupi!

    I had the first D1 model (only one flex and one color/red) and I rode it both in hardboots/AT boots and in softboots. Mi setting was: HARDBOOTS: Stance 49-50 cm (I am 175 cm); angles 25°/40°; old F2 carve rs bindings; no cant/lift (I ride always flat); setback 0/1 cm. SOFTBOOTS: Stance 54-55 cm; angles -3°/+24°; Burton C60 bindings; Burton Ruler boots; setback 0/1 cm The board is a bit wide and I preferred it in softboots.

    Just bought the Backland NC model (no carbon) and soon it will be on the snow with the Drupi Spring System. I've always promoted AT boots (lighter, forward flex, vibram soles) for snowboard and for freeride/off piste I used Scarpa or La Sportiva boots but now I think the Backland is better to be used with a spring system.

    I totally agree.

    The BTS system is heavier and does not work well because flexing the boot, the bar touches the system.

    Me too Always!

    I agree.

    Very good the system for DeeLuxe! ? I need one; I'll contact you by mail.

    It seems copied.

    Over the T O P !!!!!

    Hi, how are you? I often use RC-8 boots with soft spring but preferably with my alpine/carving boards as I do not like the soles (very slippery) for freeride where I prefer vibram soles.

    Me too. My setups for trees, ice, couloirs, steep, deep powder and every kind of snow are: 1) Pogo Shaman 193 (23,5) + Ibex bindings + old Scarpa Avant AT boots . Once my setup was 49 cm stance/flat and 35°/45° but now I set a 50 cm stance , 30°/51°, with Ibex unicant under the rear binding and front binding flat (similar to Pureboarding setup, more stable in different situations, especially in bad snow. 2) Arbor Steepwater 167 narrow (25,1) + F2 carve RS + La Sportiva Sideral boots (49 cm stance/flat and 30°/40°)

    It will be my next board! ..... Coiler AMT 166x23,5/9-10 radius, soft flex. Meantime I've bought an Arbor Steepwater narrow that I ride with hard setup ..... very very beautiful!

    Aracan, believe me, from Canada to Europe you finally have an amazing board at less than 900 Eur .... not comparable with any PB boards. Other better solutions: Donek, Swoard, SG and the next season there will be the new SG full titan 22 wide. I am not saying the PB boards aren't good boards but simply that the price is too expensive, not justified. I have a Two 158 and on several occasions I rode the Bastard 162 and 168 so I think to know them; I rode with PB setting for several seasons but then I changed it beacause of knee pain and now I am riding flat with less splay, always with a rotational style. PB boards and style express perfecly the concept of a multipurpose riding, one of a kind, And I like it very much! ...... probably the price also includes this. Joerg is a great rider and master as well as very helpful.....

    I totally agree!!!

    Hi Pokkis, I am happy with my La Sportiva Sideral as they are very light for AT snowboard (for climb I use them with a pair of short skis and Dynafit front bindings) but I am looking for an allround AT boot to use everywhere (with Pogo Shaman and may be also with my Coiler as it is wide 22,5) and with a spring system. With La Sportiva you can not put a spring system and it is very light but not enough stiff and so I thought about the Backland (I've seen in the photo your Backland with the Bts). I've also La Sportiva Spectre but I don't change them as I use them for ski. They could be ok for snowboard but it is difficult to put a good spring system. On the Backland I think it is possible to mount a Rab or probably works better an Acss. I have to try.

    I think in Canada, in Usa, in Switzerland (semi-custom), in Slovenia ...... Might be intentional, it isn't a problem (I like also glass boards) but I think that 850 euros for a glass factory board is too expensive. I've seen of course Joerg ride (and I admire very much his skills....he was for me a true example....and I rode with PB setting for many years....) but it is also easy to see the limits of PB boards on hard and variable snows......and the best PB videos are on good snow .....

    Hi Aracan, I am from your side of the Atlantic! I know the prices of the custom boards and considering the Pure boards as factory boards at the same price it is possible to try better. The construction is "simple" (no titanal for example) like some factory boards even if they are done well and long lasting. I agree about the effective edge but with a better mix of torsional stiffness and longitudinal stiffness with the same effective edge you could have a better edge hold and a better riding on different snows.

    On freeride boards/soft boards/ATboards I use: - Ibex / Carve Company Speed (ex Burton race), my favorites, light, with the right flex and low - F2 carve RS (old model, with the titanal disk and plastic baseplate) I have also a pair of F2 carve RS (new model, all plastic), light and much flex, that I use on soft freeride boards like Jones Hovercraft or similar boards. With this setup I ride with AT boots; La Sportiva Sideral or La Sportiva Spectre but now I am looking the Atomic Backland boots to modify subsequently with a spring system like DeeLuxe Rab or a custom made system.
  22. H2O
    I agree. Also the same shape on my Two158. On laydown turns it prevents the tip engages in the snow. Clever but in my opinion PB boards have too short effective edge and the the edge hold on ici slopes is not good. Furthermore, at the same price (or lower price) it is possible to have a custom board with a better quality and with a better similar shape.

    Super Zebra!!!!

    Just arrived my new toy! Thanks to Bruce for the great job! Coiler ECVC (metal of course), new size 168, w22,3 and carbonium topsheet. Next week it will be on the snow!
