.[sanhedrin].Any update to the Backland Carbon?
No changes, boot will be a carry over.
cobra_commanderjust go back to the Hawx 1.0 last...
The lasts between Hawx 1.0 and 2.0 are honestly 98% the same (Hawx 2.0 has 1mm more big toe room and 0.8mm more navicular room- all other last dimensions are the same). We will have an completely new liner construction for the entire Hawx (100mm fit) range to put it back on top of the fit podium. I promise you it will be a very noticeable and positive fit improvement.
GhiniI'll come and say hi on sunday or monday!
I'll be there, and I'll probably be talking/busy, but definitely drop by and say hi.
Why would you want it to be? Soft vibram soles and canting don't really go together. As a fitter I honestly see so few people who would benefit from canting I really don't think it's somthing to worry about. Also if you use tech bindings it would have zero affect anyway. If people want it though a decent fitter can make some plates, I do it a few times a year at most.

With swappable soles in an alpine boot ( still not that competitive weight wise) it would make a lot of sense since it is still designed to work with alpine bindings.
Doesn't make a lot of sense not to when it is an easy mod, and you consider that many of the competitors will be cantology compatible (and lighter).

If you use the din soles then yeah it could be useful but honestly I just see so few people who benifit from it I really don't see it as an issue.
asymmetrical skis are nothing really new, while not NS first stop when it comes to looking for skis, Elan have been doing it for years in most of their line. Any idea if theyve done it with an asymmetric rocker like they do with elans?

Noob question...what is an asymmetrical side cut compared to a regular one?
KravtZThats pretty cool...how does a ski like that ride? What skis use that on the market right now.
Also I assume this would be more for a freeride type ski since edge wear would be off in a park/all mountain ski.
most non kids/budget skis in the elan line use an asymmetric profile, they call it the amphibio system.http://www.elanskis.com/us/home.html as with all "piste rocker"'s etc it has little effect on how they ski when the difference in sidecut/rocker is small but you get the benefits they talk about like easier turn initiation and improved edge grip in turns,when the difference between left and right is more prominent
