Nice review Smiley.
Always thought about getting a hard boots set-up, but too much gear already.
Funny how this gear section is getting a lot of Rad-air reviews. I promise, we are not sponsored!
btw way Smiley do you board kite? (sorry asked the same question in another thread but I am not sure you saw it).

Sorry I`ve not been online for awhile....

Yes I`m a kiter. Water land and snow kiting.

I agree it`s weird that there is so many Rad Air reviews at the moment considering that I never see them on the slopes.... Maybe we`re just fanatical!

BootsStiffness
Base Plates.

When Andreas Wiig visited Hokaido last year (and he has an oldschool background beginning with Hard boots) he used Vans Stiff/semi stiff freeriding boots.They were stiff.
He noticed I was using slighter softer boots but had Palmer base plates.He told me he has used the Palmer plates when riding slopestyle as it gives him more concise edge control at critical moments.Faaark he flew.
It does create added stress on the board though so be warned.
I understand that Burton have put out base plates this season aswell.(Elevators I think they are called.)
Smiley I reckon you might find your medium there.
yeh boys its not far away.
