The weight of these are simalar to tlt5s and are cheaper too. might be a new boot in town.

But those are SKI boots. Why would you want SKI boots? 😉

Simple Brooks: because boots, and most bindings (hell, most boards as well), made for snowboarding suck 😉

I was not aware that I’ve been having so much fun the last 20 years on gear that sucked. So why don’t all you fruit booters just take up skiing since you’re all trying so hard to be one? That must mean you use ski boots in bounds too. If snowboard gear sucks so bad then why do 99.9% of resort riders not use ski equipment on their snowboards? Are they just misinformed?

Heck, 90% of riders suck as well. I use AT boots for snowboarding because they work better, in every aspect, than snowboard boots. I come from vert skating background, and have no desire to ski at all (except split skiing when necessary).
As far as other riders choices, I cannot be bothered to care what other riders do, I make my own choices.
Since you, Brooks, do seem to care what others do, why not ask guys like Jim Zellers, Mark Hartley (karkis here), and Joey Vosburg why they choose to ride in AT boots: I think it is reasonable to assume that these riders probably have very good reasons for their gear choice, especially considering that setting up a good AT boot based system is neither easy or very affordable.

Hahaha Borrows when was the last time you saw the skill level of the average Baker or Alpental shredder? I don’t care that you use hardboots. I love that I get to giggle my pants off when I read the millionth post that goes something like this:

@barrows wrote:

A properly modded hardboot setup is superior in every way because its superior and light and skis uphill so well

@BGnight wrote:

Hardboots aren’t snowboard boots because they’re so hard and gay and stuff

@barrows wrote:

You most obviously aren’t a true mountaineer and don’t slog as well as I do because my hard boots flex and skin so much better and I don’t compromise anything on the downhill because I modded them so so well and stuff

@BGnight wrote:

I’m a true hardcore Tahoe mega shredder and I’m also a cockhead and I love letting you know how much of a cockhead I am, and hardboots are still gay

@barrows wrote:

You are indeed a dick and my hardboots are much harder than yours

@BGnight wrote:

My turns are much larger and steezier than your turns because my angular moment of inertia is incredibly superior and my turns are more dynamic and surfy

@barrows wrote:

How dare you question my surfiness. I mod my hardboots so so well and they bend and surf in far superior and better ways than your inferior boots

@BGnight wrote:

Hardboots are still gay, and I’m loving my dickedness

@barrows wrote:

I conducted studies on my hardboots and found them to be superior in every scientific way possibly possible

@BGnight wrote:

Your studies are not valid because they were funded by the republicans and are proof of a government conspiracy to overthrow snowboard mountaineering softboot technologies development

You are a god damned KOOK

Yes I know but at least I’m not a fruit booter!

Your argument has no basis in snowboard science logic

Funniest thing I’ve read all summer

Russman for the win! :headbang: With all due respect to Barrows and Brooks, this totally made my day.

Classic :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thread drift win!

Waiting for Russman’s commentary on the Gnu vs Libtech debate….
