  1. All board sports is now operated by someone else than Bola from what I heard and Eric @Mr.E buys stuff from him. 
     
    Regards to .951, this is my 5th season and it is well worth the $$ you drop and I am sure I have spent between $1500-$2000 in total for custom foot beds, new liner/mold, extra parts, etc. 

    The boots is on different level!

     

    Positives:

    - very similar flex feel on different temperature (some boots get super stiff at cold temp and noodle at hot temp)

    - super easy to get in and out 

    - changing forward lean spring is less than 5min to change, change to different tongue is literally 5 sec

    - i don’t have huge mileage like some riders but I have over 150-200 days on it and only thing that broke is the wire for buckle and change is 5min and I did it on the slope.

    - I can change the tongue and spring to softer and now I got a powder boots with much softer flex (5min job)

    - I never unbuckle during the day (>20k vertical ft day)

    - who wouldn’t want legendary yellow boots???? 😆 

     

    i used to think its price was negative but I really don’t Bc it pays for itself in my comfort and I know it performs how I want the boots to. I remember people used to gasp/flame me for buying such a expensive boots but all I can say is #hatersgonnahate 🤣 

    well worth it!!

  2. I definitely 2nd the idea of getting the mountain slope boots. 21-22’ season will be my 5th season riding it (I pre-ordered it when the news came out of remaking .950) along with SG binding (MS boots match so well to this binding) and never looked back.
     

    Initially, I thought it was huge investment with custom sole, liner, and fit but it has exceeded my expectation and well worth the money. I never had any issue with it, nothing broke except for wire which is expected from wear and tear (I am not a pro rider but I do ride about 35-55 days per year and keep spare wire), never have to unbuckle. I will probably ride it for next decade to come just like original NW. and the parts are so abundant from the vendors and also directly from @MountainSlope as well. They are so easy to work with.

    The best thing about the boots is that everything is so easy to replace. I changed the wire in 5 min on the slope. And the boot flex is the most consistent out of all the boots at different temperature!!

    FYI: I have 100 flex with World Cup tongue (change of tongue is like 2 sec process!!), yellow spring in the rear boot and red spring in the front boot.

  4. Coiler Contra A/T 165

    - specification = 165cm length, 24.5cm waist, swallow tail, early rise for the nose.

    - SCR = 10.5m

    - stiffness = made for 180lbs rider (but I am 155lbs)

    - condition = there are cosmetic scratches on top sheet, presence of base and edge rashes that does not affect the ride. Never been tuned or grinded. Used it for less than handful of times. 

    - impression = I made it for pow/soft days to be able to run lower angles (Hence, wider waist). I rode it in 2-3” AND 7” fresh snow days in  CO and MT through wide runs and tight trees. It did really well and never felt like my nose was digging in. I also rode it in groomer day at Copper Mountain and I was able to carve it!! it is not made JUST FOR POW or JUST FOR GROOMER, it is made to be versatile

  5. I have for sale Oxess 178 and 185. Below are the info:

    Oxess 178

    - Model RG178 / 15m variable SCR / 49cm stance from center to center (but it can vary depending on where you place your binding) / p-Tex top sheet (thicker top from inserts) / 19.8cm waist

    - condition is great, I only ridden it 5 full days, presence of cosmetic scratches and light base scratches that does not affect ride , edges are never tuned, base are never grinded.

    - stiffness is made for 180-190lbs but it can be ridden by anybody as I am 150lbs and I love how it rides. 

    - reason for selling: I love the board and 15m variable scr is one of the best for carving (not too tight and not too long where you need speed to turn it) but I have another favorite board Virus Phantom so I am selling this.

    Price: $OLD

     

    Oxess 185

    - Model RG185 / 19m radius / 50cm from center to center of inserts / p-Tex top (thicker top from inserts) / 20cm waist / allflex inserts 

    - Condition is good, this is not brand new board so it has moderate cosmetic scratches on the top sheet, base has been grinder and has good structure to it. Edge has little over 50% of edge life left. 

    - stiffness is “I am not sure”. It is not as stiff as my RG178 as it has been this has been ridden a lot longer than various riders. I, 150lbs, can ride it fine and someone even said “man, you turn it like slalom board” and I had 190lbs person ride it and had fun with it. I believe it is made slightly softer than usual RG185 as it has allflex ready inserts.

    - reason for selling: I have too many boards now and I only ride couple times a year so it needs new home.

    Price: $OLD

     

    If it does not sell then I will wait until next year to sell. please let me know if you have question.

    (Virus and dog not included 😆)

    My favorite piece of carving advice applies - look where you actually want the carve to end, not downhill.  Not even diagonally downhill.  This does wonders for carving technique, and it's also safer.

    This is actually something I have been practicing lately and helps with carving technique! I just get dizzy when I make 10 turns 😝. Ultimately, I don’t want to go to hospital.... so it is my responsibility to look and check.

    However I have seen many people just straight-line, especially on steep, wide, groomed runs that I didn’t even see even though I turned back to look 2 turns ago. Very unfortunate...
