By saying that other people know where I'm going to I meant added value which is mentioned in technique descriptions. The rotation is supposed to be very effective, so I wonder what makes it so. Unfortunately I have to know how things work to make them properly, I just have it like this, in any spor...

OK, but in specific? What do you gain by using the rotation except of mental stuff and that other people know where you're going?

I've always tried to use rotation since I found this site and read about it at the beginning of my SNB experience, not only for carving. But I often wondered why use it, and what are really the advantages (besides initiating a turn on a track which is way to steep for me), what should be improved. I...

did you ride eliminator in hardboots? I ride it sometimes. Holding the edge increases dramatically in comparision to soft boots on the same boards. I rented the hard setup for one day and first tried hardboots with eliminator, for some two hours. It was better than with softies. But switching to Si...

I think new problem is starting :) You have to go to competence dealer to choose well fitted shell and liner. I was skiing before and have much better experience with hard boots than soft boots. Once you find the once which fit well, it's just good. Soft boots were more problem to me - hard to make...

Hmm. I strongly consider Track 325, because they fit me perfect and I had the whole great riding day with them. But then, is it better to give Thermo a shot, or get a normal one (much cheaper) because Deeluxe thermo is not worth the money and it's better to replace the inner shoe later? If track 325...

pokkis: what do you think about the thermo liner - good to have it?

Does it work with Deeluxe Track 325 too?

I've tried two shops locally (Poland). One of them never heard about heat modling of snowboard boots. They had the equipment for skiing boots and I could use it for my own responsibility. In the other one they told me they don't do this anymore because they damaged the boots once + that on recent tr...

T means that liner is thermo. Boot is same anyway. btw why you felt that 700 would be killing your feet? The guy at the shop told be they (700) are more stiff, but I didn't really feel this (tried to go lower on my knees). But I felt more pressure everywhere over my feet and a little bit of a pain ...

Just looking around to buy some hard boots (my first). Head Stratos Deeluxe (several models) UPZ Am I right these are the only options available? What is a difference between Deeluxe Track "T" and "no T"? I tried Deeluxe Track 325 (not sure about "T") and they fit perfectly for my feet (size 29). I ...

So I did some molding using a hairdryer, but had a feeling that it didn't change anything. Then I went for a week of snowboarding and found it was much better. I'm not sure if heat-molding helped, or I simply don't feel any pain anymore in my blue finger. It also could be, I got the problem because ...

Hmm, it gets interesting. Looking through internet, I found the Imprint 3 liner, which I have, is heat-moldable. Didn't know it, didn't do this, they didn't tell me at the shop. And I made some 6 weeks of riding in them already. So I think I'll try heat-molding, maybe it helps. I did some test and i...

A lot of pain and blue nail, which will go out with time...

I've read here about bootfitters. Is it possible to make any tuning, like cutting out some part of the inner boot on your own? I use Burton DriverX boots and the left one is a little but too short, or rather my left foot is bigger. It was fine when I bought it, but somehow now it is not. I wonder if...
