The PROBLEM is that if you move the lower screw up, you will end up limiting the movement even more. The goal is, as I see it, to have a system that allows you to straighten your legs ( straighten the boot) as straight as the boot structure allows (which is not totally straight, which in turn is OK ...

Hi! Just got another set of the ACSS to put on other boots and it seems the design has been changed - to a bad direction; check these two pictures: Version 1. the version that really works: http://luomu.irssii.net/imagedata/369_9afea_550.jpg - the bolt has around 3cm of screw in the lower part of th...

Our official photographer Andrew will publish his pictures on Picasa, probably not before one week (it's a lot of work).
The address will be given there. Thank you for your patience!

Indeed, carving is a happy, fun sport

I did not modify the boot (cut away plastic) but yet the functional difference between BTS (with blue bottom + yellow upper spring) and ACSS was really big - in favour of the ACSS. Thumbs up!

Maybe we'll see the official session photos at the next session's evening dinner?

To the four mentioned boards I would add a 5th option - the Coiler VSR (Variable Sidecut Radius), which you can order with measures similar to Swoard. I changed from 3rd gen. Swoard to the Coiler (177cm with 22.5 cm waist, rocker nose) because it allows the same riding but has far better edge hold -...

Hi! I've just fitted my boots With the ACSS and after 1st day on the slopes I can absolutely recommend them! I've had the BTS on Deeluxe indy for a few years and changed from blue to yellow springs for the ECS. Wasn't expecting the experience to differ a lot compared to the BTS.. But it does! As des...

I have those red 'full thermo fit heel and tongue' inners, but as they already fit my feet really nicely,I've never even thought of cooking them.. And as they looked different from what I thought the thermo liners should look like, I thought the 'full thermo fit' text was just for marketing purposes...

Depends on the airline and the total weight of your luggage. Often there's extra charge of 10€/direction for skiing equipment, which can actually be quite nice since the odds are you'd have overload anyway (the standard maximum 20kg to cargo bay is easy to go over if you take 2 board sets for exampl...

Cheers. I agree on the resort info (haven't actually been there after getting a swoard, but wouldn't the upper section of Laguna de las Yegas be ok for carving?) I would like to add a few comments to the distances and times it takes to get to places; Sierra Nevada - Granada; 40 minutes by car, aroun...
