Re: The Official CAPiTA Thread
For those riding the DOA, how does the longer effective edge feel for you. I had a 56 DOA (prob 18-19ish) and it was fun. I always wondered if I should downsize due to the longer ee, the 58 just seemed like way too much. Im sure the boards have changed some since then, but wanted to see what you gu...

Re: Hardgoods 24/25
The only thing that holds me from Step-on's are Burton boots. Every year they get more and more softer. No innovation, just using more cheap materials and cuting costs. From my go-to boots new Ion's are almost as mushy as old pair of Rulers 6 season old. Two years in row I had sprained ankle. If Sal...
Re: OUTERWEAR
In 2020 when I picked my Cyclic jacket on Burton site there was info about the fabric and there was difference in the materials used. Based on that in the local shop when touched it was obvious some color options were way more durable but heavy. So my choice was more durable for tree riding, but If ...

Re: The 2022 boot thread
Had a spring mixed-condition day in my ION's. My intension was to compare them to my beloved TM-2's. After some laps I used Decathlon stiffeners which didn't make big difference. ION's after 3 season were quite responsive, but the boot was not supporting my ankle and at noon I felt pain. That remind...

Re: The 2022 boot thread
I like more and more my three season old TM-2's to this point that I put just a day on my Malamutes and had no desire to use my ION's, which are way more flexy than TM-2's. Heatmolding 32's and also the insoles was a game changer. No sign of wear, except the outsoles of the boots. Once sorted out ho...
Re: BINDINGS
Spent some days on my new Katana on groomers and a day of jibbing. Completely different than my Malavita with Genesis-X bases. Katana is way more cushier, response level is almost the same in favor of the Katana's, but is delivered in different way - immediate response instead of the progressive on ...

Re: BINDINGS
Found a good deal on Rome Katana size S so I decided to give them a try, but I am so tempted to grab a pair of Atlas Pro to match on my Squash.

Re: The 2022 boot thread
They've used intuition liners in some models, I believe, which are definitely a heat mold situation Sounds like your other experience is they just don't fit you properly in the first place, given all that discomfort. In my years selling boots, and from feedback I've seen online, it's never seemed l...

Re: The 2022 boot thread
I had almost the same experience with 32 TM-2. First pair a 2017 model I bought and returned after just 3 days. They cramped me a lot, to the point I had to take the off after each run because of unbearable pain. Then in 2020 I saw a pair of 2019 TM-2 at a local shop in my size at a great discount,...
