incredible price, but since they are rare as caviar, and the best racing boot still, no wonder... ( told you i would have shelled 500 for them too if i needed them...)
more than half a swoard for a pair of boots wow!

I think its a better advice not to give the link in here or forums if you want to keep price low...

Well, considering the price, yesterday I was cleaning and oiling my northwave nexus and 950... And I put the red spare tongues of the nexus on the 950 (they are more flexible)...let's see how they work!!

Now after this insane party of bidding, fearing, and waiting is over....

WHO IS THE GUY WHO OWNS SOME 459 Bucks NORTHWAVE BOOTS?

(I thought and still think it must be one of us, right?)

Dooh, insane prices.

Must tell it to some of my friends, in the "old days" there where many races at which Northwave Point 900 was what you got in our local race series for finishing second. Point 950 for winning a race. Those were the days were companies still pushing a lot of money into the snowboard sector. Nowadays winning the whole series overall might get you a pair of binders if your lucky and a ticket for FIS or Europecup races if you want and have the money to travel yourself.

Some of them still must have some boots hiding in their basement.

459€ :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

Oh boy, one has to be insane!

Even if the NW's are the best ever made, this is crazy!

The technique of the boarder is still the most important thing, isn't it?

On previous ECS-es I saw some incredible good riding without the NW's.
If Patrice, Jaques or Nils would wear other boots, they would still kick our ass (on the slopes) :roll: :wink:

Well, if the new owner is happy with them, I'm happy with him.

Hmm... do you think that it is much for good boots?
UPZ are 450 and Deeluxe 420, so NW's are in same ball park anyway.
