It also reminds me of Burton Fire.

Any experiences with this Vodoo stuff?


Kindest,

Hey

I use Raichle 323.
I was really luky, because I have bought them for a really low price last year.
In a shop here in Belgium,nowbody want hardboots anymore! Exept for a fiew guys like us :lol:
I bought them for +/-64euros brand new, but they were from season 2001-2002.

What I do while I'm boarding is I relase the lock at the back, so it rides more relaxed.
I also improved my boots by putting piec of plastic uder my heel.
So now I bent my legs more and and my balance is more in the front! For me that is MUCH better!
If anyone has more questions about my adjustments, you can always ask me!

Carve on, Dave

Hi Dave

I also have a wedge under my rear foot heel. It's in the liner.

I did NOT do this to get any forward lean.
I did it to avoid slipping with my heel. It works very well; the boots fits tighter in the heelpart know.

Stay Deeep

By how much does your leen differ from front to back boot? I still dont know how to set them up what I do now is I must do the same modification as described above becouse my heel moves up and down while carving.
