Also, @russman, you guys have done a beautiful job with your system, and if I were buying a new soft-boot system, this would be the one. – Taylor

I’d agree, @russman has been objective in his contributions to this site. One personally may opine that elements of subjective preference have influenced his choice of presentation and comment. But that’s for a separate thread/discussion.

I’d only offer that there’s no less than three companies moving the needle. Ignoring what Kefler has…[Read more]

Three things that’s cool, even though I’m a hardbooter and don’t plan to use this.
1) Front Points (21:00). solid idea @russman.
2) The shedding system(4:00) is a slick idea. I’d love to see it really with ice and snow. I also like you are now interfacing both boards with overlap. I find with Phantoms this adds a lot of torsional rigidity.…[Read more]

Hey @russman , not a bad idea. Do you think we will miss out on the hardy vs softy debate though?

@russman Any updates you can share on the Procline? Also, can you provide context (i.e. have you ridden any other hard boots).

@russman, he actually shares your same first name. And yes, he worked at Karakoram.

Wow @russman. That is nuts. A guy at work was just telling me about this today. He said he knew you from his job last summer. Glad to hear you’re mostly alright. Good luck with everything.

Congrats @russman! Looks like an amazing line and I’m sure Liz was right there with you.

I would have been puckered while trying to self arrest.

Thanks for sharing the late season stoke.

I kinda miss the old banter of @russman vs the world from a few years ago. I don’t see him post much anymore.

I remember talking with him about his mission to do fifty 5,000 foot days in a season, and that he was closing in and only a few days away from the goal. He had an amazingly warm, and soft spirit.

Oh man, I remember when he was doing that. We would get back from some tour and he’d be 150 ft. short of his daily…
