  7. Russia Banned From All International Sports for Doping

    in The Lodge

    Posted

    It sounds like some Russian athletes are under suspicion and may be banned later from competing at all. 

     

    Clean Russian athletes will be able to compete but without displaying any national symbols. No only that, but their "clean" status from now must be confirmed through non-Russian WADA-certified lab, as Russian Anti-Doping Agency is explicitly banned now.

  8. ACE Skwal 176 for sale

    6 hole inserts pattern.

    Tuned to -1 off base and -3 off sides by the one and only - Sorin - the only person I know who can properly tune alpine gear in CA.

    I have used it 5-6 times, so it’s practically new, and was always properly stored.

    $550 + shipping price if shipping required

    Just a bit of posing on this specific skwal:

  20. Intuition PowerWrap+ vs Intuition SBC

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    queequeg, my 2 cents... 

    PowerWrap series is constructed with a very firm foam. From my point of view it is a very uncomfortable stiffness, say good for racing and absolutely not doable for the whole day riding.

    If you have any doubts on what liner to choose, just email Rob from Intuition. They have lots of expertise and are generally able to assist on such matters.

    Another thing is you might want to give stock FLO liners a try. I use them for 4 seasons already. Heel pocket (with supplied plastic teeth inserts installed) and overall flex feel good.

     

    How come we did not meet on ATC? =\

  22. Skwal Riders General Discussion

    in Skwal

    Posted · Edited by avante

    Ace Skwal tested! Super positive this far, the only thing that is extremely unusual is the inserts placement, all my other skwals have huge nose and relatively short tail, in this one inserts are almost centered.

     

    Waiting for some frozen, firm groomers to test it for real, but the first impression is: wow, this is a very solid and playful machine! 

     

    Thank you for the great design Christopher!

  25. Thermoflex liners too soft?

    in Carving Central

    The liners of my UPZ boots are pretty much shot, to the point where the tongue has rubbed down so far that the stiff outside creates pressure points on my shin. I was about to replace them with heat-moldable liners. But now I read on the homepage of Mr Beckmann that those liners are "not appropriate for performance riding" because they are "softer, more vibration-opaque" and therefore provide insufficient feedback.

    I have used TF liners before, and I recall that they were noticeably firmer than the stock liners I was used to. The comfort came not from their softness but from their having conformed to my foot. (Note that I am referring not to the outside of the liner, but to the cushioning material.)

    So I am unsure. Any insights are welcome.

     

    Just my 2 cents: at the same point I have just bought a new pair of FLO liners and then got another new pair for the upcoming season. They just work great for me, so why change anything. If your concern is stiffness, then Intuition Power Wrap is your choice - they are stiff, actually I find them too stiff for me.
