  3. Boot sizing advise

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    I'm looking for a new pair of boots to replace my reactors, as the liners are worn out and I want a boot suitable for intec stepin.

    I'm considering Deeluce indys, and want some advice on sizing. There aren't any local shops who can supply decent advice so I'll have to figure it out myself. I tried on a pair of 29.0 and 30.0. The 29's seem to be the ones I should go for. The 30's are a bit roomy and the 29's enclose my feet very well. Some questions:

    -My big toe just touches the front, can I make some extra room for that by thermoflexing?

    -When I put my foot in the shell without the liner, there is about 15mm of left behind my heel when my toe touches, is that correct?

    I did not have a chance to try on the suzuka, how do they compare in flex and functionality? I think I'd like a boot that is slightly softer than the indy?

    Thanks in advance,

    Tim

  5. Radius Formula

    in Carving Central

    Uhh, it may not be very obvious, but the difference between an parabola and a true radius is very small, less then 0.02 mm (0.001") for a board of common dimensions (length/radius ratio). I still haven't met the guy who can sharpen my edges to this accuracy.

    You can also forget about the +d/2 in the simple formula (neglectable), also:

    R=L^2/(8*d)

    Which accidentally (well, actually not accidentally) is the exact formula for a parabolic sidecut.
