I was curious… and I’m actually up to 18cm now. (If your wall has a baseboard, don’t forget to add that thickness)
Here's a pic of Lars from Justaride... Imagine what happens when he needs to absorb a bump. If you're at the limit of your dorsiflexion, you jus...
No, heelside! As you flex your knees you need dorsiflexion in order to maintain the edge angle.

For fast entry, another one to watch will be the FASE... coming to other Nidecker Brands. If they do that to the Cleaver, it could be quite good, tho...
The Genuine Intuition foam is the same stuff, but some stock liners just put it around the heel where you need it to conform the most. For heel lift...
