We are looking for 18 expert skiers that currently do not ski in RACE style boots but that are expert skiers with a boot size of 26.5 ONLY to help us out for one day either April 16th, 17th, 18th

We are looking for people to assist us in prototype ski boot feedback.

YOU MUST BE CAPABLE TO SKI DOUBLE BLACKS ALL DAY LONG.

YOU MUST BE OVER THE AGE OF 19 TO PARTICIPATE!!

If you are able to help us with feedback for the day you will receive free stuff.

Please message me back if you are interested with your email and phone number if you are interested.

Cheers.

 
Sorry guys and girls. The reason we can't allow people under the age of 19 is because of insurance as it always goes. Sorry for the let down.

The reason why we can only have 26.5 foot size is because the molds that are made for these tests are that size across the board.

I hope this info helps a bit.
 
man i used to wear a 26.5... but now im wearing a 24.5 pro model... so im guessin the solly 26.5s wont fit... doh!
 
Gigger...I think I have 26.5 boot (or maybe it's a 24.5, can't remember). But I'll wear a bigger boot if you pay for me to come out to Whistler ;)
 
To anwser you concerning question, We don't hate them at all as racers are our base as is freestyle. It is just that our boot test is more suited for freeriders as our new prototypes that we will have are freestyle and freeride only for the Whistler test.
 
They are cool to but we just were not looking for full blown racers to partake in the test. Nothing bad about racers I used to race FIS my self back in the day.
 
well if there are ex fis racers like myself who are know into freestlyle wouldn't you think they owuld have more of an understanding of flex and how a boot works, obviosly you aren't going to get full out racers on this site but there are a few of us that have understanding of ski boots becuase of our time racing FIS at higher levels which can give valuable tips on how a boot is performing, im on a 3 day binge and a little drunk so i hopefilly my point came across, but ill will be in Whistler on the 17,18 but i am an ex FIS racer
 
I'm in the same boat as Paul^ but I'll be there tomorrow again, I'd help out but it's dumping so I'm gonna have to ski the pow I guess... haha
 
Most manufacturers don't want feedback from people with as much experience as you. They want feedback from the demographic who will be paying full pop for the product. IE they want Average Joe 6 days a year's feedback because in the end, he is the one who will be buying the product.
 
Davvvveeee, come drop by sometime. The snow is hell on crutches. Im stuck at the hospital for IV antibiotics twice a day for 3 hours for the next 6 weeks. Fucking ACL. Feel free to drop by at either 8:30am/pm. Say hi to dusty/caroline and take a run for me.

On the subject of plug or "racing style" boots, it's a pitty they don't want ex racers, I'm thinking it may be because after wearing a plug style nothing offers the same level of performance or fit.. and thats not a good comparison to a rack model. It'll be easier to get feedback from someone who already uses a product of similar construction and performance.
