  1. Question about molding Intuitions..

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    This is why I originally went to Intuitions - they have a rep for solving anatomic peculiarities.

    I don't know what kind of reputation they have, but I've just remolded mines and the heel pocket on my rear (right foot) still came out too deep... As the result, even the tiniest amount of heel lift results in burning pain... went through it last and the only time I've been on a trail this season and I've only lasted 3 runs before calling it...

    Molded liners by the letter again, thought this time I did them at 240 deg 8-10min cooking, 20 mins cooling and 30 mins after-cooling.... Did a kick-ass stretching handjob before getting them in the shells... Came out much better overall, very straight outside, but I still get blood circulation cuts from second buckle being too tight.. and heel lift if it's not tight enough... :mad:

    USPS screwed for the first time on me, so I might actually be able to recover my standard one... :biggthump Somebody wisely said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"!

    Dave,

    Thanks for the quote on the liners, I'll most likely get them if I won't be able to recover my old ones...

    Hey Alexeyga - sorry for the hijack! I hope you're gaining something from the posts too.

    Nah.. I don't mind, just that the more I read, more I feel screwed up having changed not such a bad boots, with not such a bad (compared to Intuitions) standard liners, for a pair of older boots with newer Intuitions... I didn't want to spend a fortune on new liners to begin with.. But i'm afraid I'll pay the double at the end... :mad:

    Gonna try remolding and stretching them tonight... not sure of the outcome, but I'll do everything to get them right.. or kill them completely...

    P.S. anybody knows a decent bootfiter in Montreal area? Sharks? I've only done footbeds with them and I know for sure they prefer selling standard liners...

    Dave,

    I've sent you an e-mail about standard liners...

    My Intuitions are black/golden-yellow outside and lime-green on the inside.. Just got them with a pair of boots... I'm somewhat pissed off, i only changed my boots because standard liners were rather cold and were getting wet after first couple of descents... but they were comfy! Intuitions are way wormer, but as far as comfort goes... duh... Another thing i've noted, SB 225's felt somewhat stiffer with these intuitions than Suzukas with standard ones... ??? After so much talking about 225 = Lemans... I'm somewhat confused...

    I found the old ones either too crowded, too steep or too narrow for carving.

    It hasn't changed much, still too narrow and there are still only 2 or 3 trails where you can really rail it, esp. after grooming... But if I had to choose between St-Sauveur (the main mountain including Avila) and Bromont, i'll go to Bromont... Though Olympia stays my favorite so far, best blue run to lay it out full speed...

    When buying Raichle, or Deeluxe boots it is generally recommended to get at least 1 size smaller (I know people who're perfectly comfortable in 2 sizes smaller Raichles) in comparison to Head boots. I'm 28-28-5 mondo, and these were perfect for my liking... Sales rep was rather amazed that i've asked for 27's, but I knew what I was doing...

    This being said, everybody are different, and all depends on the kind of fit you're looking for. However, I'm convinced that these boots will be way too large for you. I'd recommend you making a trip to a local shop and actually trying some boots on to find the model and size which suits you. Good luck!

    Boots are sold to a fellow-carver from Colorado!!! All those who didn't dare going further than "I'm interested"... sorry guys, at the price I was selling these Suzuka-s, first came first served...

  22. Thinking of getting a new one...

    Actually there is quite a lot of carvers in MTL area, not much snow and carving-friendly trails though... :angryfire

    Hot Blast is a fun generator... however, you actually have to do some work while riding it...

    Coilers, Doneks with WCC are like tuned Cadillacs, super stable and super damp at any speed, and they are just as expensive as any other brand new board out there... There is plenty of FPs and other more than decent used boards in classifieds and on eBay... I can get you in touch with a guy who has a very nice 17%-sh Proton for about 200$ shipped...
