  1. Flex scale is unknown, sorry.

    boots can and have been used in non-intec bindings without problems and without alterations.

    the pull-handle and heel can be removed if necessary.

    I'll have a look at the boots regarding the mondo sizing when I can find them.

    I'm currently moving between england and scotland so stuff is scattered at the moment. Will let you know by tuesday at the latest.

  2. Depends what the preferred stance angles are at CASI, due to the difference in body positioniing with steeper stance angles.

    I can do it +15 front 0 back without a detrimental effect on body management issues. Riding +30f or above isn't really on as when you're demo'ing its not really showing the pupils.

    Saying that I tend to set boards up +15f -15r for beginners and teach duck stanced.

  3. If you think you've got it bad ................

  4. After 14 years on boards I had my first ski lesson on Sunday. Idea was for the instructors to feel like a beginner again etc etc, so after taking a few of the ski instructors boarding, it was my turn.

    Anyways, can you ski in snowboard boots or is the difference in flex crucial.

    I've arranged to swap hardboot snowboard instruction for ski instruction.

    (being a softboot instructor will make this interesting to say the least, but you can't even find hardboot instructors in Val d'isere anymore, let alone the UK) so any lesson tips would be useful.
