    Burton - hire this guy! I love step-ons myself and this guy has shown the most dedication and creative thinking for step-ons of anyone I've seen outside of Burton's own development totally on his own accord. Love the passion and innovative thinking in line with Burton's initial and continuing innovations.

      Colin, look for the cable park closest to you or when you travel. I’m lucky to have westrock wakepark 1 hr from me. It’s the best and it’s just like snowboarding. Follow @westrockwakepark on IG to look at pics and to get a better idea of what cable park riding is like 🤙🏽

    I absolutely love this video! The reactions were amazing to see. Burton should license this to some wakeboard company. I mean with a channel system already there you just need to make the boots more waterfriendly. Looking forward to more of your vids man!

    Hey brother long time, as usual great vids. I was wondering I remember seeing one of your vids that you said you had a solution to the clicking sound for the step ons. If you can please pass the info. Thanks in advance

      The Step Ons worked amazing in the water. If only I had a smaller boot for the set up, it would’ve been even better.

    Hey man it’s been a while since your post. I was wondering how those boots are doing now. I’m curious if they started to smell or wear out.

    • @themidwestshredder
      @themidwestshredder  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Tyler, those boots are doing fine. I only used them a handful of times in the water since I have a new wakeboard set up. I still plan on using them on my liquid force board a few times this season. Surprisingly they never got stinky or deteriorated and they look great. I let them dry good after each session and they dried fast. This past winter I used them as my back up boot as well. After the first two days of riding them in the water, I drilled tiny little holes with a small drill bit (almost not visible) to drain water and it worked pretty awesome. Before the winter I put a reflective tape just like what’s on there straight from Burton and my feet stayed completely dry. Even though they work awesome in water, I tell people not to do this unless it’s an extra boot that you’re trying to mess around with. Only reason is because it’s a bulkier boot than a normal wakeboard boot and over time I’m sure they’ll get stinky without proper draining.

      Haha not very good at first, but I made some small little holes on the bottom and it worked awesome. I did pull the liners out after each ride and surprisingly they didn't get smelly. I used them on snow twice this season with no problems.
