Great video, Josh! Thanks for breaking it down this way. I’ve always thought of my TX Pros as my backcountry boot and my TX Comps as my resort boot. Love the versatility of having both. Watching the video made me think of how you posed the argument that it’s not “75 vs. NTN,” it should be “75 or NTN.” They are just different ways of fastening your boot to make ski to make the telemark turn. Same thing with boots? It’s not “Comp vs. Pros,” it should be “Comp or Pros.” Different features for the same turn! Definitely understand it’s not possible for everyone to have multiple boots so I appreciate your suggestions of how to stiffen a Pro with a Comp tongue and all the adjustments you can make on bindings. Binding adjustments for the Lynx and Outlaw might be a helpful video?
So glad you liked the vid! Yeah totally agree that it's more Comp OR Pro not VS. if you can have both it's nice to have options for sure. I'll try to get into some of the configurations of bindings as well to show how that works. So glad that's something you want to see. Hope you are well and week is off to great start. Cheers - Madsen
This seems old and then I saw it was originally from '23. Thanks for sharing it anyway. I always enjoy content from FHL and hope they keep putting stuff out. I know it's a lot of work. The community is grateful!
8:30 that's a great point, I went with the tx pro and tended to push other folks on the edge towards it because you can easily flex it into a graceful, easy tele turn in a narrow stance (e.g. coming down towards the lift line and wanting to just chill on the tele turns). The comp rewards big folks who want to push huge skis around I feel like. I don't wanna have to do some low aggressive stance in Comps all the time to do tele turns. Considering I only bought the pros a year ago after 10 years on 75mm, pretty sure I'll be able to upgrade just in time for them to discontinue the now-new TX pros in 2034 🤣
Fantastic video highlighting the differences! Is the video about how to make the TX pro flex closer to a TX comp via binding mods out yet? I am very curious to see that, thanks!
Came from a Scott Vodoo and wants to change them. I was thinking on TX Comp but after seeing this video I agree that the TX Pro looks more versatile. What about the new 3-buckle model? worth it or better look for and "old" 4-buckles?
they're all built on the same last-102mm. That said, I should find that in terms of fit, both the TX Pro and the older T2 should fit my foot like my 30.5 Maestrales, correct? Not asking about the flex, just about the fit of the foot in the boot. I don't have the opportunity to try them on in my area: I have to travel over a hundred miles for this, and I'm asking for an approximation. Probably I'll be driving to Voile next year for a whole new system of skis/bindings/boots.
@@FreeheelLife Scarpa says the new TX Pro will go up to 31 mondo, so I think next season I'll make the drive to Salt Lake from Washington, & get a new system from Voile with those new NTN Transit bindings. So far, it looks like it'll give me something close to the feel of my 75mm stuff! kinda exciting in one regard, but on the other hand, at 77 by then, this'll probably be my final equipment buy. Interesting to contemplate my own mortality.
This is all great, but make a 32 mondo in NTN. I understand that the limitation might be the binding, but at this point I've pretty much given up in NTN. When my 75mms die, I might just give up on Tele.
this video was filmed in the FHL retail shop which no longer exists so I'll pretty confidently say that this video was filmed long before the new boot was announced or available

No problem!

Glad to see more Tele info
Right on.

I don’t know anything about AT boots so not sure. NTN only goes to mondo 30. Correct on last of T2 Eco and old TX Pro. Cheers - Madsen

Odd that it never talks about the new version of the boot.

Long before I closed up the shop. This was members-only content from a year or so ago. Just making it public now. Cheers - Madsen
So this is the old TX Pro.
That is correct - i did this as a members-only video a year ago and just making it public now.
