The fine folks over at Rome are hosting themselves a competition of sorts. You, yes you, could win yourself $1000 bucks, by submitting your vid footage of you and/or your crew from this season. Not too shabby, as I know a lot of you have probably been out filming most of the season.

Thoughts: The importance of proper boot fit (especially for the bigger rider)

Often times, and rightfully so, people are drawn to various boots due to design, color, graphics, or something else aesthetically please. It’s pretty much human nature to admire pretty, shiny, hip things. So do you then choose the boot that fits properly and perhaps isn’t what you want, or go for the boot that looks insanely great, but is a tighter fit? The answer really should be the better fit. No matter how good you look in a pair of boots, if your feet are cramping, or perhaps you’re having nasty heel lift, your riding day is probably not going to be fun. In fact you’ll probably stop early, and go sit down for beers or something.
Boards: Who’s who of wide boards
02 years ago
I’ve started compiling a list of wide boards listed by company and size. The list is no where near complete, but I’ll keep updating this and adding links. From this list I have, you should be able to see there are numerous choices in the wide/mid-wide market. Each company name is hyperlinked back to the companies website, making things a bit easier for you all.
