04/05 UPZ World Cup Race Boot

Post by gradyh » Wednesday 6 October 2004, 1:43

I need to get a set of new boots this year. I'm tired of using my 10 year old Burton's with my nice new Swoard. Seeing that the Northwave.900's are not possible, I've been looking at the new 04/05 UPZ race boot. They seem to have a similar foward/back spring controlled flex like the Northwaves. Just wondering if anyone has seen one yet and what the thoughts on them are?

you might want to check with Virus Snowboards, they seem to have a modified version of the UPS mach serie, with a different spring system... there was a picture on bomber last season with the new boot ( i think its red)...

Are just the same boots as the UPZBoots but with a logo and name of Virus on it. If you want to know more you can send me an email.
