[OFFICIAL] POST your snowboard gear and questions here!

[unowned]

besides going to a store to try them on, trusting the 15 year old sales dude and looking at the $300 price tag. how do u know if a snowboard boot is stiff?

ski boots range from 70 to 120 Flex (bigger the number the stiffer)

do snowboard boots have some kind of standard? (i want to research. might buy a SB setup @ Corbetts on Thursday)

peace.

no standardized scales between models of different manufacturers...what are you looking for, a midflexing boot?

Damn double post

Coming to the dark side?
Just get a pair of boots that's comfy. Just be careful as some are really wide and might not it well on some bindings.

Got an email saying that Corbett's is having a sale similar to Meltdowns, though it's 30% of burton boards, 40% off outerwear, starts thursday. Hopefully you got your boots on sale?

ive already read a few short reviews regarding them...not exactly glowing...plus im banking on a liquidation for 2012 models. I need to check boot compatability first then will pull the trigger when the price is right. I'm not going to pay $300+ for a bloody binding.

[MoonDoggy]

I know sanction (at least the thornhill store) carries flow

yeah for sure bring in your boots to check if they're compatible. id wait, flows aren't exactly a popular binder, u can probably get a decent discount maybe a few months after release.

the new flows are for sure something to look forward to, as i hated their one piece design. If your looking for quick strapping, there's also the k2 agogo's? I think that's what their called now, used to be autos? (my knowledge of k2's product line is clearly lacking )
