SunSurfer Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Nevin and his coach give some slalom racing tips in this video sponsored by Gillette. I was intrigued looking at his Deeluxe boot setup. He has a second bolt with a nylex nut that appears to probably lock shell and cuff together on each side of both boots. He has a modified BTS on the rear, with a solid pre-load cylinder creating substantial initial forward flex, and a fairly tightly wound down BTS red spring limiting forward flex. He appears to run a locked (no BTS), relatively upright position on his front boot. The boot mods are even more clearly seen in this video, as are the substantial heel lift angles both he and Vic Wild were using at Sochi in PGS.

lowrider Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Nice video thanks for posting it. My excuse for watching it is that I'm two months away from being able to ride again. Why are you sitting in front of your computer posting this when you still have snow on the ground ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Interesting, especially his non-race segment in the 1st video. He's riding that pretty hard with a lot of up/down motion at speed.... kind of like it was a slalom course I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
