    Guide for boot companies/fitting?

    its difficult because each company will have boots within their range to fit a wide variety of foot shapes. for instance salomon make the Elios rental boot which is massively wide (106mm across the metheads) but they also make the falcon and gun which are much narrower (98mm). THis is the same...

    179 or 189 ????

    I think you should think about a different ski for switch riding. THe sidecut of the seth makes it much more directional, ie doesnt ski very well switch. You should probably get a 185 rossi Scratch BC which is much better switch, in the park and a good bit lighter.

    3 ski quiver for Whistler?

    I tried the 191 ANT and it chewed me up and spat me out the other end I think this was due to the lack of sidecut and the fact I dont ski at mach 3. I think alot of it may be to my weight also not being able to flex the ski into the turn ,I am pretty sure I want a twin also.

    Salomon ghost boots (09)

    whats bullshit, the fact I cant get my foot in an spk or the Boot????? Its because the tongue cant go far enough forward because of the laces is one of the reasons I cant get an spk on and also because of the toe buckle. Next years falcon comes with a custom shell too,I dont see how this is...

    Line Chronics, Public Enemies or Line Invaders

    deff chronics, without question. The anthem is too soft plus cos its a cap ski so wont hold an edge as well as the chronic plus as its symmetrical it wont carve a turn as well. Chronics have awesome swing weight and are so stable. Check out lineskis.com and watch the video on the ski and read...

    Salomon ghost boots (09)

    I was wondering if anyone has ridden these yet. I understand its based on a falcon shell (98mm) but it states on proctorjones that it has a fatty toe box like the regular spk??? Really interested in these boots for next year, would probably take one of the rivets out to give it more flex as...

Personally If I was going for a 115 waisted ski Id go with the Moment Bibby Pro or the LIne Bacon.But thats purely because Im skeptical of the reverse sidecut which I...

    Guide On: How to Buy Ski Boots

    Il moro is stiffer but I personally prefer the rampage. The ratchet on the ilmoro can strip its teeth very quickly. I also prefer the standard liner over the intuition. I find the intuition more uncomfortable on the shin, it may have something to do with the fact the boot is taller than most...

    Ski boots as part of hand baggage

    I am going to NZ for the Summer and was wondering whether anyone has brought their ski boots over their shoulder with their hand baggage on the plane. This would eliminate my need for a boot bag and cut down on luggage but obviously if airlines have a problem with it, then it is probably more...

    Chronics v 1080 thrusters

    way different skis, the chrinic is woodcore, the thruster foam. Chronic uses sidewall construction/ THruster cap ski. PLus the chronic is alot stiffer. If you like a stiff park ski get the chronic. If not I still wouldnt get the thruster,perhaps a dumont (woodcore).
