Big thank you to Vikki - just love the slo-mo carving she caught - video and music are perfectly matched - really made me feel the silky smoothness of the pencil line carve. Thanks Ryan
Boots are THE MOST important part of the day. I love people with Canada Goose Jackets and top of the line equipment on rental boots. Throw in the shiny white pants and that’s the trifecta
I go through a pair of boots a season. What I do is, when I first get my boots, I take my old liners and put them in my new boots. Then, halfway through the season, I swap out my new liners for my old liners.
Ryan you have to check out A-Line insoles, can't recommend them enough. Thin enough to fit in boots and adds stiffness and stability, soft enough on the heels for me. They don't disintegrate like others even after years. Not sponsored or anything, been using them for 8+ years, just a good product. Happy shredding!
Awe man. Just returned a pair to mountain sports outlet after one day! The plastic tongue broke in half! Was so disappointed. Kept hearing they were the best for carving around
Love my insanos. Took me a few days to get used to the stiffness and break them in but man… once you hit that sweet spot, it’s a great boot! Hopefully it’ll last several season…. I hate breaking new boots!
Hi Rayan, I was waiting for you to try these boots after seeing your Frankenstine burtons. , bought Isano's thing three seasons ago with A10 alloy /carbon bindings, Boots a literally Insaine (ly) stiff, had to heat form the liners to get comfortable. They have internal lace with keep hill in place even when top is loose for park ride and powday. Bindings are great too just the shape of carbon fiber backs where they join the banding kinda poking the boot, but can be filed down, as I did on day two after it became painful.
Ryan is an elite foosball player. I think he also used to be world class with rubiks cube speed solving if I remember. Man of many talents for sure! On top of that he's a genuinely awesome human being from my experience at a couple of his snowboard camps years ago.
You should really consider a pair of Intuition liners, the stiffness you can add with their aftermarket liners, in not only the tongue but the heel, is unmatched. they have many different option to really dial in your fit (thickness) and the stiffness of the liner. For instance, you might love a thin liner, but want a very stiff liner, which Intuition offers out the gate. Although ride offers a great liner with some intuition foam, it is nothing compared to the after market liners intuition offer. I personally find that the stiffest intuition with the cheapest snowboard boot shells (vans hi standard) to me actually out performs vans verses, and iride insanos.
Great boots. My first pair in 2016 leaked, but I loved the stiffness and third boa so kept them anyway. Just got a new pair and am on day 3 of break in. Will need to try out the shin guards and fp insoles.
Looking forward to more updates with these boots. I picked up a pair in labor day sales this year to replace my Deadbolts which are too soft now. So far the Tridents are beating me up a bit, hopefully they soften up some soon or I'll have to sell them.
They will soften up. Use the boa's loose for awhile. If you end up feeling 'shin bang' too much, use your previous set of boots again, and work the tridents into rotation over a longer stretch of time. It's worth the process. ✅
Perhaps a little bit, as the amount of 'play' between the 'heels and toes' motions is reduced. The big difference with the shin guards in the back is using a larger 'lever' and dispersing where the pressure of the top of the high back hits. (Especially for us using a good amount of forward lean on the high-backs).
I have found if you have foot pain or fatigue a stiffer boot will help. It seems counterintuitive at first, but big soft flexible boots allow your heal to lift and foot to slide around.
I like both, and they have a very similar feel overall, even though the liners are different styles. The trident 3rd boa for the liner is why I prefer em slightly.
Is it just me that can keep the boot on the rear leg tightened all day long but has to release the boot on the front leg every other run to have some relief from the pain? I tighten both boots more or less the same but the front one is always "troublesome", so to say. This is driving me crazy.
Same here, I usually find that it’s more so from the binding however, since the front foot typically stays strapped in. If you’re on a twin, I’d recommend swapping your foot you use to skate/board the lift with, and see if that provides some relief, it’s really helped me! Happy Shredding
@brennenha1966 thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it!

Force yourself to ride the chair switch on slow days until you get confident and it will change your whole day as far as pain goes. You'll get comfortable with it quick

I absolutely don't like country names in brand names
I just ordered the Ride Insanos and the carbon supermatics, pretty excited for this season!

That's the way to do it. Thanks for posting. 😁

Good to know. Maybe I'll compare em in the spring. For now I'm loving my setup, but I'll keep those in mind.

FP insoles have been life changing for me just in my work boots. 30k steps a day and they solved my leg pain. need to get some for the board boots.
Nice helpful series on gear you use beside the board and its specs. I got the Burton Tourist for Splitboarding will try them with the Knapton Twin.

Foosball shoes!?! This man is takes every sport seriously!

Check out some of his foosball videos on his NextLevelFoosball channel.
I've had a few pairs of Insanos. Love them. I don't have the tridents yet. Rocking the ninety-twos.
Extremely similar to the Insanos. 92's? Idk what that means.?

I ride the Insano as well, I destroy the laces quick. Upgrade to cable on the boas.

Does a shin guard in the back of the boot help with the toe edge at all? As if it's stiffening the whole boot, not just on the heel edge?
@@grimmriffer seems like it would be pretty similar to the forward tilt adjustment on your bindings

💯
still haven’t found a boot that lasts and stays stiff-ish for a whole season (70-100 days) You recommend the tridents or insanos?
I like both, and they have a very similar feel overall, even though the liners are different styles. The trident 3rd boa for the liner is why I prefer em slightly.
Can see your kinda down. 🙏🏻 for ya
You OK Ryan lad ?
Thanks for checking. I am fine. I'll discuss it sometime in the future.
