anyone know anything about it? looks... intresting? not sure if its cool or ugly. looks like a spk knock off.
 
i think that it is a cool design. could work out for rossi. they havent had a real breakthrough with a freestyle boot yet and this could be it. might be better with another buckle but i think its probly pretty good quality. ill see if the rep at my mountain has a pair
 
I don't have Il Moros but I do have rampages. Anyways by looking at the sas fs1 and the il moros, the il moros will have a narrower, lower volume fit. it has a 98mm last. The rossis have a 102mm last and appear to be a higher volume fit. I think the ID liner in the il moro will be much better than the rossi liner, although the rossi liner does look comfy. Il moros also have a progressive flex similar to the full tilts. The rossis have a simple 100 flex index which would be great for park as long as ur not super light... sorry its long
 
i have tried it on many times and have felt like it is a cheap competition for the SPK and its counterparts.

it has a ID burrito wrap style liner, but still having a tounge and not being cookable like the ID liners are. Toe box in the liner and shell felt akward and small/tight...clearly not ment for my foot.

its shell is constructed more like the dalbello and FT boots, just with the way the plastic overlaps.

a very light boot becasue it has basically nothing on it...the one thing i do like is the cable system that spreads the pressure throughout the boot rather than just where you buckle...also it has a nice foot board in it for those harsh landings.

the things i dont like...there isno power strap, and even when i have this baby cranked down fully(which is easy for me to do, and my legs arent THAT small) i still have play in my shin area with the liner....also i dont like how i cannot adjust anything at all...i cant move the buckles, i cant micro adjust, and you cant soften the boot (short of taking a drummel to it) like in say the GHOST.

should be better next year.
