As for the durability of Head Stratos Pro: http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/f ... ay.php?f=2

(To be fair: everything can break and will break under heavy usage...)

Without any prejudice, what makes you think that the Head Stratos Pro is the technically most advanced boot of the available 3 brands? I do not see any major technological difference between these boots. Shells, buckles and liners last the same long, none of them have a really well engineered spring...

One more vote for Deeluxe from me. I had a Blax back then before it was called Head and for me the Deeluxe is a way better fit.

Narrow boards = high angles = heel lift & cant + toe lift & cant. Unless you are cross-legged, bow-legged, half-legged.... Avatar: oh yeah!

I think this is a valid question, so let's elaborate a bit more on this. :!: Most of the people with average bio-mechanics feel comfortable standing in stride with having 3-6 degrees difference between the 2 feet (like a duck). You might be different though, being extremely cross-legged or bowlegged...

Agree. 20 days a season will help you to get to a decent level and to keep in shape. Also agree on the tactics: - buy presents for your wife and give it to her when you return from snowboarding. Ever heard of Pavlov's dog? It'll work. - tell your employer that snowboarding is something beyond ration...

Cuz most of the people here assume it's all wide boards and EC style... :wink:

Anyhow, most probably it's not a bad idea to start completely flat and then see where you get with that and then adjust if needed.

In Sölden you can rent Virus boards that are very similar to Swoard boards at Sport Riml.
Some are, some aren't.... :wink:

I see. So tell me guys then where and under what circumstances you would prefer to ride a narrower board? And I'm not talking here extremely narrow, skwal type of stuff, what I mean is just a bit below the current WC trend, so say instead of the 20cm WC boards, where and when do you ride something a...

Well, some people might hate me for saying this, but on crowded slopes the type of board that is easy to handle is a relatively short and narrow slalom type of board with a short radius. Fast edge to edge, turning on a small radius - that is what you need when you have to dodge many people. I think ...
