hey mogski... i'm very interested... i went to this boot guy in ochyanomizu last weekend...he knew his shit, but the custum liner/footbed costs 54,000yen!! I need to know if its worth it... i've had custom footbeds made before, but i still got some crazy pain in my boots... what to do... danz ------------------ pray for snow

well... i've never used them, and once i spent like an hr. diggin' (and prayin')... maybe straps are the way to go if its a full day of the fluffy stuff... but my last 6yrs skiing was all on the artificial snow mtns. of the east coast... a powder day was like 4" of snow... danz ------------------ pray for snow

yo skiers... anybody in here know anything about conformable liners (company name i think)?? custum boot liners... expensive, but i am exploring my options... thanks, danz

i guess i'm a regular... danz ------------------ pray for snow

hey barok.. madison is a great town... i grew up in Milwaukee... I've actually met more people from Wisconsin in the 8mths i've been in japan than in the 9yrs i lived on the east coast... wierd... ------------------ pray for snow

hey nat... maybe that can be arrainged... (if you don't mind a skier...) danz ------------------ pray for snow

tsukuba...science city... sound exciting huh... but i am planning on moving to kasiwa... closer to tokyo, hopefully more exciting... ------------------ pray for snow

thanks all... I am not really look to shop/buy.. but am looking for a boot specialist... someone to fix my boots (or feet...) danz ------------------ pray for snow

hey nat... you know, you don't need a gym... you can do some kick-ass ski-specific exercises/strenghening drills in your own room/neighborhood...cheaper and raw! danz ------------------ pray for snow

thanks 7-11... are Victoria and Mizuno in kanda?? are they easy to find?? ------------------ pray for snow

ski boots that is... any suggestions?? one more.... can you buy deoderant in japan?? what's up with that? danz ------------------ pray for snow

hey nat... i broke my back skiing once...it sucks... doctor said i shouldn't use a back supporter... you don't want your body to become dependant on it...next thing you know you are going to need a cane.... do lots of sit-ups...and other exercises that can build up the area... good luck... danz ------------------ pray for snow

lucky tokyoiets.... i live too far... tsukuba sucks danz ------------------ pray for snow

how many cm in an inch?? I am american...i think in feet and inches... 1-3 inch - dusting 4-8 inch - heaven 9++ inch - ORGASMIC danz

shhhh.... ------------------ pray for snow

yo... I highly recommend the Scott World Cup goggles...they are cheap (like $20 from artec.com) and don't fog often (no goggles are fog-proof)...they also fit over helmets nicely if you use them... danz ------------------ pray for snow

why can't we just all get along....

hey dayzed and confused (great movie by the way...)... I'm not a boarder, but I can say for a fact the new skis out there today are much more fun than the old sticks we used to use... less effort, more versatile == more fun... and if you just watch some of the ski movies out there today, you will see that new school skiing is as sick (if not more) as anything in the snowboard world...just my opinion... danz ------------------ pray for snow

hey wizz.... you took to the board before the shape ski revolution...try em shape skiis are sexy danz

well...i got here at the end of the season (april...), so i've only been to yuzawa (don't even remember wich mountains i skied....) and Zaos for some summer turns, but that will change come next month!! I plan on making it to hokkaido and multiple trips in honshu (I live in ibaraki, so i'm not sure where the best spots for me are yet....)

Hey snow riders... I'm kind of new to this board, but plan on hanging out for a while....so i was curious, How many boarders on this board? How many skiers on this board? Others?? i'll start off... I am a skier...100% danz

hey badmigrane.... yah, i have some problems with my boot... i have custom foot beds, but they are getting old and are cracking in the heels... when i lived in boston i used to go to this fantastic boot guy, but i didn't have any money to get the work i needed done before i came to japan...it probably involves a combination of boot stretching and foot bed replacement...pain in the ass, but my feet suck (maybe i should watch my language around you...) i'm on Head World Cup boots...they are great except for pinching right on the ankle bone... dan

ahhh... I think you are on the wrong board dude....

Anyone know of a good Boot guy in Japan?? someone that knows something about feet and has lots of experience with footbeds and boot modifications... tokyo area o.k....but I live in Tsukuba, so anyplace near there would be better... thanks...and pray for snow... danz
