@WinterGold I ride sometimes also softboots. Actual I have softer-flex ones (Northwave), medium ones (Burton SL's) and stiff ones (HeelSide, brand doesnt' exist anymore). The stiffer I don't like compared to soft hardboots, because the HB's give more freeness of moving at a good support. - - - - Völ...

Ohh, Cortina d'Ampezzo seems to be a realy golden choice! 5 men of the first 8 of ranking from Landgraaf Worldcup Slalom are from that region. 3 riders from Slovenia and 2 riders from Italy (from close of Cortina d'Ampezzo). Even 10 of all 43 Landgraaf WC-finishers are from these countries. It seems...

Mountains have been the last two weeks all the days on the very golden side of autumn! Incredible sunny and warm time! (But on well known places plenty of tourists / school holidays). I hope no-one has missed to go there. At my short stop last sunday under the fog at home, I saw Russian girls had st...

Longboards with hardboots - for sure, and for sure on slopes. You never saw riders like them? ... as the boards are not made for hardboots ... Muss leider so aktzeptiert werden.
