Hi, I am one of the "old school" guys that nearly quit skiing because of boots.. I now have a new pair of BB's and my old Flexon COMPs and Flexon PRO's from back in the 80's.. gotta say.. LOVE the new boots.. only got 5 days on them this year as it was spring break in Idaho and Montana.. skiing was epic.
I do have one rant.. ski shops treating a 52 year old skier like "here.. are some skis for you.. 159's.. you will love these on the groomers...." Dude.. my garage is full of 200's to 220's.. I am from the days where we skied long comp skis in the pow and cruised warp speed..... still love to to that.. don't sell me that crap.. thank GOD there are blogs out there.. now I am skiing a 179 K2 PE. but sitll would like something a bit longer... but not break the bank (I have 2 kids in college and am a school teacher.. so $1000 boards are not in the cards!) still.. treat me like I can still rip...
Full Tilt.. the best.. nothing else is even close.. period... end of story.. GREAT.
This is kind of off topic bu the LINE Prophet 100 186 cm ski is hailed as one of the best all around skis. 100 mm underfoot but stable as hell on the hard stuff. Also Gear of the Year in Ski Magazine.
As far as a cult following I have been noticing old boots everywhere now that I have the new ones, ohh soo many colors. Cheers,
