  1. Back to Liners, Guys! I have a pair of Stratos and a pair of Stratos Pro. One of those pair of boots has a lot of usage and the liners are starting to show it! So to answer the question: Why would I like to change them if they are good? The answer would be nothing last for ever! So if I need at some point to renew them. What should I renew them with? (interested to know what kind of options experienced user have tried). I'm thinking why not use the knowledge this forum has to offer. For the advice about YYZ Canuck, I did email them and they haven't sold liner for Head boots. They suggested to call Bomber online for advice. I guess this is my next move unless someone has some personnal experience with replacement liner for Head boots. Thanks!
  2. What kind of liners could I use for a replacement of the original Head liner in a pair of Stratos Pro boots? Thanks!
  3. Not sure if you would accept a 170??? Maybe let me know, Thx!
  4. Hi! I have a brand new pair still with tags for sale. I bought one size too big. They are XL or 9.5 if you prefer. $75 plus shipping. Though you might want to save a few buck! Thanks.
  5. Look for details in your email! Cheers!
  6. Hi! Or did you lose interest in it? I got a replacement for my Frontier 170, so if you still need that elusive stick, you know where to find one. Thx.
  7. I just happen to read your post right after you posted it! Glad you liked them!
  8. Care to share the gear info? (camera, lens...) Settings on cloudy days? Do you use fix F-stop and hope to have the best shutter speed or use fix shutter speed? Which iso do you mainly use? Manual focus, prefocus on a location, auto-focus with ai servo? Spot metering? So many questions so little time!!! Thanks!
  9. I don't know if you are into extreme-carving! But you have a few there! Enjoy! http://www.extremecarving.com/photos/wallpapers03.html
  10. Hey, Ripster! I remember 2 years ago,when I started on hard boots. I had a brand new pair of Head Stratos with a non-heated liner. I had a pair of custom footbed made at the time of purchase. I recall doing stops every 2 minutes to wipe my tears from the pain I was having on my feet. :( Even with custom footbed, I had the feeling my boots were too short. That was until I started to ride. Then I was feeling better about the length. But I have considered selling everything thinking the sport wasn't for me! Until someone gave me the very same advice I am sending you. I by no means consider myself an expert by the way! After about 6 half days of riding (I just couldn't do more then that), all became better as the liner started to pack up. My only advice is to hang in there for a few more sessions. You might want to wear your boots while watching TV to help pack those liner or get them molded. I have tried to ride with my old soft boots (Flow Morphan). Although my feets are comfy, I just can't ride without my hard boots for securing that heel down! Those advice are only valid while assuming the boots are right for you. My feet were pretty wide to start with. So I read somewhere that the Head boots were fitting wider feet better. Also, my feets don't have any abnormalities. In a nutshell, I can feel your pain, just hang in there for a bit more, if it doesn't get better, then start thinking about going further in boot fitting, custom footbeds or maybe switch boot company if your feets are too wide. Good luck and let us know how you solved the issue!
  11. Hey! Glad I could be of some assistance! Enjoy them, I really like my regular Stratos and looking forward to my new Stratos Pro! Takecare, FG.
  12. Hey, Neil! Sorry for the delay! Payment sent, please confirm when you get it, thanks.
  13. You might want to start there! http://www.startingate.net/ I know they had some 27.5, 2 weeks ago! You might be able to find those 26,5, good luck!
  14. Just want to make sure you know the binding are not included in the price quoted on my email! But If you want them, a $100 buck will do it! Thx.
  15. Send me your postal info and I will check for the shipping cost! Is Paypal, OK for you for the payment? Thx!
  16. Oh, Boy! Never scroll down enough to see that! Brain dead I guess!!!!! So lets try this! I will post some more on the next post! Thx!
  17. I have usethe following email to send you the pics! emmy@skybest.com Call me a dumb ass, I just don't know how to post pics on the forum.... :( Let me know when you get them! Cheers!
  18. Just confirm if you got the pics for the 170! If not, I will send them back! If you did get them, It probably means you didn't like the price. That's fine too! Thx.
  19. I'm confused! I have a freecarve 178 from Coiler with a stiffness of 7.2. I was built my for 230 (+/- 10 pounds) frame. When I read a stiffness of 7.7 for an AM board for a 190lbs person, I don't see why my Freecarve has less stiffness. Maybe the Freecarve needs less stiffness to accomodate the hard surface intended for his use! Am I totally off track? Advice needed from the more knowledgeable please!!! In a nut shell, if I go down to about 200 lbs (dream weight), will the board be too stiff? Thx.
  20. I was away on a business trip! Will be back home to shoot a few pics tonight. So look for them after 10 PM Eastern time. Thx.
  21. I wanted to thank the people that took the time to share their experiences with the AM type of board! I feel confident about selling my Burton Frontier 170 and use the AM as my powder board! I only had 2 days in the last 6 years that I could ride with more than 12 inches of snow. So this AM board will cover the rare 4 to 6 inches of fresh non-groomed snow we get sometimes and it will also cover a bigger dump! Thx!
  22. Just wandering if you could let me know how much powder can an Coiler AM 172 with a 23 cm waist handle? I have a Burton Frontier 170 that I'm about to sale, it would be replace by the Coiler. Will the Coiler float on a deep powder base, say 12 to 24 inches of the fluffy stuff? Not that I see lots of it (powder) but just curious to know the potential! ;) Any info or experience would be most appreciated! Thanks!
  23. Hi! Could you give an email address where I can send the pics! Thanks!
