I've ridden the runs off the Stoke before, though on a familiar board with a tighter sidecut. I might need a warmup first! Apparently my new boot lin...

Yeah some of these off-the-shelf 'carving' boards are only incrementally better than others. But there is a wide range of 'carving'. Freestyle inclu...

No experience with women's wear, but I will say that the Ride Insano is by far the stiffest boot that I've tried, and also the smallest volume (both i...

Thinking bigger, could this be the beginning of a whole line? As it's targeted to more developing riders, how about "Cherry Blossom"? When people b...

@wild-cherry I happened to line up behind Daniel this morning and rode with him for a good part of the day. Conditions were suboptimal with ice turni...
