You know, Deeluxe could do something with the current molds and use some of the lighter composite materials that are out there. Fin could whip up some traction toe/heel pieces that would screw onto the existing pad areas, and provide a larger crampon area to boot. Deeluxe could reissue the cuff cants that had flex built into them, and put the RAB mechanism with a softer spring in it; perfect boot! Will we buy enough of them to justify a production run? That's why I've built the ones I have, 'cause it's not happening anytime soon. BTW, Deeluxe did some boots for Line skis, I think that's who it was, that may be the perfect starting platform, 'cause of the DIN soles would be better for crampon use, but everything else was straight snowboard boot. Hmmm, gotta go look at ebay now...
