Within three weeks i ll have the new ones so I can tell.

Here is it goes: UPZ boots: one of the most comfortable boots I have ridden to date with the standard tongues, flexible enough for freecarving my small Virus Boards (Black Death, former 3 Cyborgs, Nightmare and yet to come a Interceptor Evo + +). I ride these boots with a semi hard foamed liner from Boot Doc. What I find uncomfortable about the boots: To stepin and out due may be to my high footarch. I al;so have thias with my Deeluxe T700. I hope this problem will be partly solved by the new generation UPZ RC10 because of the new tongue construction and the new buckles that you set vertically open by a new spring mechanism. I ride the UPZ RC10 also with a custom spring machanism bought from a italian guy. Boots have more travel and are way more dynamic cause of the longer spring which helps me a lot in my carving technique (more control in lay downs). I ride thse boards with Bomber stepins. Boots that fit this best boots also which I have ridden: Raichle AF 600. My Deeluxe T700 with custom foamed (hard foam) full leather Strolz liner. I ride these boots in the most upward position. The stiffer the boot the better. I use these boots for my race boards (Jasey Jay slalom) with plates where I feel I have more control with a stiff boot. I ride the boards in a more upward style. Have ridden the boots with a bomber BTS, but I couldn't adapt enough with this spring system. Without I feel, I have more control and direct power with my board. But may be another snowboarder has it just the other way around. It's just me. I ride these boards with standard F2 |CNC bindings. Both boots have the 'problem' that the buckles touch each other when you push the boot. But I think, well a hardboot is hard to make without touching those buckles.

What is your size? My green UPZ mondo 27 will be for sale soon with never used soles and brand new UPZ liners. Half the price of new ones.

How much do you weigh? I ride the RC10 with the standard tongues and find them rather flexible. The fit of the RC10 is way more better than the lower models of UPZ. I use my superstiff Deeluxe Track 700 for my raceboards (standard set up).

Good for you Michelle. Looking good: http://www.thelostcajun.com/locations/pagosa-springs-colorado

Michelle, good luck with your new home and adventures. Stay healthy. Your good vibes, patience and best (Bomber) customer service attitude will be missed.

All three boards are sold.

Sale is pending for the Cyborg Carbon Kevlar.

Cyborg BLING BLING: SOLD Virus Cyborg Evolution Zylon Kevlar Custom (greenish - black Kevlar), board is 100% as edges, base and topsheet, only a few hours on it, EUR 650.-- still available.

Sale is pending for the CYBORG BLING BLING.

88 / 1 degree, supersharp. Tooltonic or other A-brand will do the job. Just let the tool do the work. Let it run a max of 2, 3 times over it, don't push it. Use corn 200, 400, 800.

You are that right. But a bumper on a Vampire???

Price update on both Cyborgs.

shitt hapens. Nice board. Just glue it, clamp it and let it stay there for at least 24 hours. Will be brand new. Ask Frank which glue or epoxy to use. That bumper? Take it off.

You can also look at the Virus website. I will serve you. This is a new school shape. The board isn't a standard production series of Virus. This one is a special one, requested by me. New school Virus shape. Width 14.1 cm as all Cyborgs. Length 181cm. Binding width 14.8cm. Cateks, F2 will fit. Bomber BP will fit. Kevlar topsheet, Zylon version. Fast board, for quick edge to edge straight line carves or big to middle wide carves. You need to adapt if you come from a wide carve board. If you can handle small width boards, this is fun. Reason I sell these boards: my quiver gets too big. I have two other small width Virus boards and one is in the planning to order. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Excuse me for not seeing your reaction. Didn't get a message in my inbox, was on holiday. Yes, the two Cyborg's are still available.

JJA only UPM inserts?

Slalom or GS plate?

Used Shintronics for a couple of years the first days of the season. Don't use them anymore. My shins can take the pressure more or less when I am on a raceboard, but my left shin (regular) is still a little sore at the end of the day. I noticed that when I lowered the stance angles, it helped. My toes are over the edges of my Jasey Jay Interface (plate) system and a little over the edges of the board. Still enough space to not drag my toes through the snow. I use Deeluxe Track 700 with Strolz liners (stiff set up, no flex for utmost control). When I use my softer UPZ boots (rather soft with springsystem and strap) I have no problems at all. So a soft set up (soft flexing hardboots with springsystems) can help. Also adapting ridingstyle can help ( I like to push my boots very hard forward and that won't help preventing shinbang very much).

You can turn and race, carve those things (Virus) on a dime if you want.

Yes they are. It hurts to let them go, but I have too many beauties around. Incredible freecarve boards.

Carvingmag.com Hasn't been around for a while. He has done a very nice job till so far. I hope a new annual will come out sooner or later.

Well USD - EUR is very good for the US people nowadays.

Not interested in Espresso (I don't drink coffee or cafeine, bad for health). Stroopwafels: if you send me 1000kgs stroopwafels I am interested.
