So wie hotfrontside es schon erklärt hat. Lege die hintere Bindung einfach mit der "normalen" Scheibe auf das Board und stelle alles ein. Dann nimmst du die Disk heraus und legst die "schräge" Disk einfach so ein, dass sie zu den Inserts passt und schraubst sie fest. Die Ibex wird nur mit 2 Disks au...

An gebrochene Boards von den Schochs kann ich mich aber auch gut erinnern :wink: ... Ausserdem auf 3500m stehen kaum Begrenzungszäune herum :D ... Warum sind eigentlich die Holländer so schnell? Ich habe einmal vor vielen Jahren den holländischen Meister in Serfaus getroffen. Obwohl er sonst nur in ...

Ich bin selbst grosser Kessler Fan und ich bin mir der Bedeutung der Marke für den Alpinbereich bewusst. Ich fahre heuer auch ein SL und ein GS Modell von Kessler. Aber die einzige Marke, die im alpinen Rennbereich dominiert, ist sie nicht mehr. Rein zahlenmäßig zwar schon, aber wir könnten die Sach...

Schneewurm, that is the reason why I didn´t buy the cream version of the RC 10 this year ... but I am not sure ... loads of translucent skiboots this year ... there were problems in the past (think Burton ...), but maybe the plastics got better ... they should have more experience now ...

I second everything that xyxx said :D ... but only the sole is shorter on the UPZs. If you measure a little higher (at the point where the toes and heel actually sit), then there is hardly any difference between the UPZs and the Heads and that is where you will have contact with the snow surface. Ne...

This sounds very reasonable ... so the boots don´t allow for enough forward flex, if they are used without modifications ... that´s what I meant with "not the best design", but with the mods it might be a different story ... no question.

When I put on my Head Stratos Pro (no mods) and bend my knee, the strap over the instep moves back and puts more pressure on the instep. It seems that the shell widens slightly and the strap tightens around your foot. For me this is not the best design. Nothing like that happens on the UPZ, where th...

Hello Blahblah! Welcome to the forum, if you want to lay down turns, have you read the equipment tips on this website? This is a perfect equipment for laying down :wink: .

Hallo baldi!

Willkommen hier im Forum!

Das ist ja eine saublöde Geschichte ... das tut mir echt leid für dich!

Die Hebalm ist ja nicht gerade ein Carvingparadies ... da müsstest du viel Glück haben, dass hier jemand etwas weiss ...

Ich hoffe, die Geschichte hält dich nicht vom Boarden ab!

chucky, I was trying to explain Schneewurm´s thinking ... maybe I shouldn´t have :wink: , but bringing the world of hardbooters and softbooters together was definitely an aspect when the first drafts of this discipline were made ... I have old snowboard mags articles about that ... and back then the...

You are 100% correct. I always say that the equipment is only about 5% of the overall performance :wink:
But that isn´t really the point here ...
The boards in the WC are all on a very high level (only minor differences) ... and that was my point ... there is no more domination.

Felix, if that is "domination" for you then that is your opinion and I am not going to start a discussion about the term. But half the riders in the Olympic final rounds (men) of the SBX were on Oxess (about 15 riders!!!). And even in the Alpine disciplines the WC Overall Champion is using a differe...
