I have worn Burton Sabbaths for the past four years and have really liked them. I am 6'0 and 190lbs, and like to ride park and all mountain so I was skeptical about getting these boots fearing they would not be supportive enough. So far they are great! No issues with support, so comfortable, and they have all the same internal features as the sabbaths. So far I can't really notice the flex difference. A few things to be aware of though. The insole of this boot is flat, where as most snowboard boots have a more forward lean to them. Not bad or uncomfortable, just different. Maybe thats why they don't feel like they have more flex? Also the leather/pleather/ suede, on the outside is pretty cheap. After a couple of wears it loses its color(black model) and kind of gets matted down. It's just cosmetic and does not take any functionality away from the boot itself. Overall these boots kick ass so far! Great boot for only $200.

This is a great jacket but be aware its just a shell. Thats not a problem but be aware. Pretty minimal for the cost but overall good jacket. Just got back from Whistler, BC, dumped the whole time I was there and never got wet. worked great with layering. Baggy/ roomy fit. Oh ya, no mesh lining in the armpit heat dumps. Word!

I bought the 06 161.5 model and it is hands down the best board I have ever ridden. It performs well all over the mountain from pow to park. I wear size 12's and its plenty wide, no drag. Can't say enough good things about it. I finally found my last board. Magnetraction is insane. Once you try it you will never go back!
