Re: New models of hard boots and tests for extremecarving

My first own board (in 1995) was nothing fancy, and it cost the equivalent of about 500 of today's Euros, which was a lot of money, given that I was a student. Of course it's possible to sink upwards of € 3K for a boots/board/bindings combo today. But if you buy used or last season's, you can set yo...

Re: Bindung, Handschuhe, Wachsen, Polyglut und Co

Hallo, ich grabe diesen Thread wieder aus. Ich habe da nämlich eine technische Frage: Haftet Polyglut auch auf Handschuhen, die bereits einmal mit Sika behandelt wurden? Oder ist davon abzuraten, und ich sollte fürs neuerliche Verstärken wieder Sika verwenden? Hintergrund meiner Frage: Polyglut ist ...

Re: Advice for boots needed

Flex can be tuned. This is more a question of fit than anything else. And the UPZ shell is shaped quite differently from the symmetrical Deeluxe shell. You can only try them and see if they fit better.

Re: Newsletter: Mountain Slope

An interesting question, and I googled around a bit. It seems that DM 800,- in 1999 money translates to about EUR 320,- in today's money. So yes, the boots were cheaper then. Of course, the alpine market was a lot bigger (there were more hardbooters), and the competition was stiffer - there were not...

Re: Looking to Buy BTS

To answer the original question: The BTS is available from carversparadise.com
It's a German company, and they will certainly ship EU-wide.

Re: Snowboard lifetime

I do not know about metal and carbon boards. In truth, I do not know how long glass boards last, either: I have glass boards that still have camber and life in them after 200+ days. I think with a glass board you will use up the edges before the board gives up.

Ich glaube mich zu erinnern, dass Fruno irgendwann mal gepostet hat, dass die Physics ihre Mucken haben kann. Weiß jemand mehr?

Re: northwave xanthus - alte Federn oder neue Federn

Und falls der Weg zur Slackline mal zu weit ist: meine Beste hat bei ihren Rückenproblemen gute Erfahrungen mit so einem MFT-Brett gemacht.

Bei meinen Knien habe ich meinerseits gute Erfahrungen gemacht mit:
- Radfahren
- Stiegensteigen
- Craniosakraler Therapie
- Bandagen (Bauernfeind Genutrain)

Re: buying new Hardboots

What he said.

The fit of the 3 basic boot shapes (Deeluxe symmetrical, Deeluxe asymmetrical, UPZ) is very different. Forget money. Go for the best fit for your feet. You are either going to buy the boots that fit you best, or you will regret it.

Re: DGSS info

Yes, they have a spring system. However, at 70 kg I find the stock springs rather stiff - and of course the stroke is very short compared to aftermarket systems.
