ExtremeCarving FORUM

For many years I say that for bringing more people to alpine carving we need an hybrid boot! Something in between softboots and hardboots, which looks new and not like ski boots. When something looks new, it is more attractive for people outside of our sport and it can make a small revolution. I'm v...

I tried the UPZ RC12 out of the box (thus with original springs) and red tongue (softest one): they were clearly softer than MS out of the box (even MS mounted with blue - soft - springs).

Offcourse I want to share in the expenses. You also should ask your question in Who When Where / Qui Quand Où / Chi Quando Do...
