RCrobar Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Hello This short video 'Turn of Mind' highlights the Korua rider Nicholas Wolken riding back country hardboots and plate bindings; different as in all of the 'Yearning For Turning' videos he rides Softboots. Check out the 1:38 mark and the 11:12 mark if you just want to see the riding. No jumps or flips, but as far as the turns go I don't think you could tell whether he had hard or soft boots on if you didn't look closely. The angles look pretty low as well, the bindings look like the Phantoms so maybe 30 degrees front? Cheers Rob Edited January 2, 2020 by RCrobar 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Vosburgh raves about it, while my one outing with the boots at low angles was pretty gross.. far too stiff in ride mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how does the stiffness compare to a Driver X? Edited January 6, 2020 by Mig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
