Powercarver129 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I just measured my feet, I have 'Mondo' 27.6. What size boots are best for me? Also I am looking for the following items (but if you think I should be looking for something different, please say so!) I am 5'11, 140-145 lbs, very agressive on softboots, winning USASA races in them, and looking to start hardboots for competitions: GS board about 175 SL board about 155 Bindings for each Boots that will fit me I don't care about brand as long as it will work well and be fast! I'm on a tight budget. And even just one of the boards would be good if you have it. Ever heard of people using ONE board for BOTH GS and SL? Recommend it? Please give feedback even if its just a quick answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 If you fill in your profile, there's a much better chance you'll have some locals help you out. Where do you ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have an old pair of raichle 124 in your size and 2 pairs of burton ratrap stepins that would be good to get you started. Boots and/or binders $50 a pair + shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtanner Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I've done the one-board, two discipline approach...not recommended. You will lose on either end...either with too long of a sidecut for slalom or too short a board (i.e. not stable) for GS. -Gord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powercarver129 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 bordski can those boots get heat molded to my feet? and what size are they? I am just a little afraid that they wont fit and ill be stuck with them... both pairs of bindings pretty basic? would you consider $120 +ship for the lot?

Powercarver129 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 also how is the condition of everything please be honest, and would the boots be too stiff for a beginning hardbooter or would they be a good fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 the boots do not have moldable liners, and are in very good condition. 12 yrs old used lightly 3 seasons I will use the liners myself in my Intec 124's if you don't want them. One pair of binders used lightly 1 season the other used for 3 season, If they weren't useable by me,(180#, 6ft, agressive rider) I wouldn't sell them to you. I couldn't replace my liners for $50, & $50 is cheap for extra bindings. I'll split the shipping with you, $10 & i'll cover the rest.

Powercarver129 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 this is sounding good and I think i want to go thru with it. So for boots and both pairs rattraps and shipping, what final price are we talking about? and can you tell me the mondo size of the boots?

b0ardski Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The raichles are 27-27.5 shell, the liners are 27 in good shape for old boots. $160.00 shipped for the boots & 2 pair burton stepins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey33 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I am in the same situation as the original poster. I have raced GS for a few years with softboots (but boarding for 16 yrs) and I was hoping to move to hardboots and a racing board. I am 5'-9", 155lbs, size 9.5 or 10 boots. I race in the pacific northwest. I want a race board but have no idea what size or specs I am looking for. Can someone help me out with some recommendations?

Guest Tool Can Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Need some of your info for that. Hieght? Wieght? Stance? Size of feet? For Carving or All Mountain. Racing GS,SL? One Board for all is the worst of all worlds. There is the Money you want to $pend too. If you want to find your needs cheap this a good place to do it. Experiment.We all do. Have a pair of Burton Megaflex boots 27.5 OlD,Good shape w/original liners Have a 166 Vas Rossi w/F3 Burton Race bindings.Beefy Bails.Modern shape Narrow in the waste.Good balance of effective edge to radious. Can dig up specs and a pic or two upon request. For Instance I am 6'2 190lb and have rode set up for mentioned 1 day So it is a touch soft for me,yet still rails along in comfort,control. A lot easyer-erh to work with than say a Prior 173 WCR for an intro. Just getting back into Carving myself.{Gaper time} I bought all of it for a friend 5'10' 165lb and got it tuned in hopes to get him out Carving,but his Wife Clamped him down. Boots,Binders,Board w/tune and all the extra Cants/lifts for bindings too.{Reciepts even} $250 is what I am in all of it. If that set up will work for you?? If you have any questions I can answer,cool. If I don't have a good answer I can get some one who will. Just get out Carving. T.C. Coaching Forum,Bent Knee. It has been helpful.
