Nice seeing someone hacking wakeboard boots. After 3 pairs of rads I gave up on Slingshot boots, despite loving their K9 fix system (The complexity does not bother me, and I love the flexibility allowing to fine tune position: it gives you an almost-flextrack precision in stance width even on boards with not that many inserts,, and add centering adjustment as a bonus) and also the gummy straps. However, their fit went from tight but OK in 2020/2021 to too small and painfull in 2022 when they added the second gummy strap, on the same size same model. The front of the shoe got too narrow for me and has a painful pressure point near the new gummy strap. But the main reason is that they are too fragile: I teared off the liner at the heel after one cable season on each pair (maybe after 20 times 2h), and pulled off the boot from the base one my second pair (really bad suction on a backroll, even submarining, but the boot should handle that if it happen especially as it cost me a boot on one side and a knee ligament on the other side). Soo many riders got boot/base separation toward the heel after 1 or 1.5 season at my local cable that it can be considered an inherent flaw, not a freak failure: boot/base stiching/gluing is weak. I went to a more traditional boot, with much less adjustment but better fit, lighter and hopefully more durable (I think it will be, I got a crash that would have teared my rad off it's base almost for sure hand here the boot didn't flinch, contrary to my ankle ;-) ). However, I miss the gummy straps (new boots have a velcro strap, very well positioned on the boot, but velcro is not as nice as gummy strap: it does not stay tight), so I think of a hack getting the straps from my destroyed rad to replace the velcro of the new boot. Waiting for the end of warranty of my new boots to try, if I manage to do this boot transplant surgery cleanly enough I may post the result ;-)...

Yeah I noticed the Rads fit smaller than my spacemob shell with the same internal liner. That is a bummer though that you’ve had so many issues with them.

DUP Costa feel nice after 1 session, contrary to the rad they fit larger so better to downsize a little bit compared to shoes, which my vendor correctly advised.

Sweet Video! Was wondering if you have any advice, social media groups, forums, etc. to find people around Utah into wakeboarding. Just moved here this spring from Wisconsin and wakeboarding is the #1 thing I miss - I can live without surfing haha. Even back in WI with all the lakes we have, it was tough to find people as motivated to ride as me... everyone just surfs because it's more accessible. Also curious about competitions which could be a good way to meet people. I could probably enroll in an intermediate class but not sure what the level is like around here (I've got 3's, ts 5, scarecrow, backrolls, etc.). Hope you have a great season this year!

Rad, yeah there is a decent scene here all things considered. Bunch of riders across the wasatch reservoirs. A lot of us get up early, ride hard and then head home. Some do the lake chill thing too, but I would say that is the minority in the group of people I know. There are also a bunch of us that go down to Imondi Wake Zone in CO a few times a summer. Comp wise, I would checkout Wake the Snake in Burley ID. Also, the Pro Wake Tour is coming to Jordanelle end of next week. For online communities, I would say the best bet is to post in either of these facebook groups: facebook.com/groups/2201499068 or facebook.com/groups/382673708823613

Surf rollers wouldn't be so bad if they understood that driving an actual line would help themselves as well, along with everyone else on the water. But when they just pull their surfers up in any direction they want, that's when the water conditions go to shit!
@LifetimeShred
@LifetimeShred Ай бұрын
I think even then, you get the pushing roller that goes down the lake in addition to the side rollers from the wakes. It’s something I noticed at EC over the years where generally people do run north south. The pushing roller isn’t even really a roller but more of an elongated wave. It’s hard to see but you can feel it when cutting in almost like you’re riding a rhythm track into the wake. Even for wakeboarding/waterskiing you make a temporary one of these when you come off plane to pickup a rider. Have an idea how to show it from an above drone shot. Future video idea on my list.

Is there any disadvantage for system bindings? Why is it not widely used by the pro's?
@LifetimeShred
@LifetimeShred Ай бұрын
Since Hyperlite has a patent on the systems, it limits who will ride them at the pro level to their team. It is interesting though that while JB Oneill and Trevor Maur seem to love them, other cable/winch riders like Graeme use a removable liner closed toe binding. I rode lowback systems with JD Webb and then Murray boots from 2017-2021. Here’s my take on them: Positives: -Protect feet when walking and good support -Easy and fast to get in and out of bindings -Lowbacks give lots of ability to tweak grabs hard -Can replace them in parts instead of all at once to spread out cost -If you travel, makes the board bag not as tall which makes packing easier. Negatives: -Boot can fold over back of the lowback heelcup on a hard edge catch. -Had this happen and tore open the heel of my JB Webb boots. -Boots are bulky to swim in. -Noticeably harder to swim in than a removable liner and much hard than bare feet. -The boots need to fit your foot shape. Only Hyperlite makes them, so options are limited. The JB Webbs were never great for me. The Murray was perfect but they stopped making them. Neither are made anymore. Tried on the Freepress and it was bad for me which is when I switched to Space Mobs. Make sure you try them on before buying. -Have to be mindful of screws on bindings as you can lose a strap easily otherwise Neutral: -Feel different than normal wakeboard bindings. Closer to a snowboard feel. For me this meant a little less of a uniform connection to the board and more of the feeling of 2 tight straps holding you down. Some love, some don’t. If I were to ride them again, I think I would give the highback “pro” version a try. I don’t love the look of them, but I think the support would be a plus.

Hi, do you think the Hyperlite bindings are easier to break? As there are more parts, I think there is more chance of breaking, however maybe it's better to break the binding then the board. I train mainly air tricks, what do you think it's better? Bindings or a closed boot fixed to the board?
@LifetimeShred
@LifetimeShred Ай бұрын
I do think they have more maintenance as there are more screws to lose. On my old low backs, I lost a strap screw in the middle of a lap. It does happen. The other downside to them, I would say it specifically with the low backs. If you catch a heel edge, the back of the boot kind of folds over the heel cup. I think the systems with the high back could be good for you. I would just avoid the low back otherwise a normal pair of walkable liner closed toe are great.

I'd go with the Murray personally. It will work great as you get into the sport but also be there for you once you've improved. The State 2.0 has a lot of features geared specifically toward edging such as being asymmetrical, big center fins, lot of bottom channels. For those reasons, I would actually argue the Murray will be more forgiving with chances for edge catches. Since you are already experienced in watersports, I don't think you'll need the edging handicap the State provides and the positive sides of the Murray just make more sense at that point. Price wise, I know the State is less, but there are deals on last years Murray right now that make it competitive price wise.

Solid, thorough review, Rich. A couple of things. 1) The debate is still out on whether or not you want to actually come out of your bindings on a crash. If both feet come out, that's the best scenario, but if 1 gets stuck and the other doesn't, that's not good. That's how I broke my femur and others have blown knees/ankles because the board swings & torques around loosely and can really injure those joints/bones. 2) If you wear a pair of Hyperlite System bindings on the boat, DO NOT put the boot portion on until you're on the swim platform. I've had people start putting them on in the cockpit and then walk over the back vinyl and I was like, "What the hell are you doing?????" That's like walking in the boat with shoes so don't do that!

Good call on the bindings. I would say they should either be cinched tight or super loose. Id also add that the loose mostly just applies to lower end open toe that have less support and a shorter cuff anyway. Plus only for people just learning to get up and turn etc. Don’t go loose if you are jumping. Maybe ill add something to the description to call that out. Yeah with the Systems I agree. In general I just think of them as cable bindings. I know there was a moment when the HL team used them on the boat a lot but I think inly Maur does now. Id say systems and removable liner boots are just extra crap to deal with on a boat.

I would wake up each morning with a full 100% charge, drive for 4 hours, stop to charge, stretch my legs, bio brake, buy a drink and a snack (~half hour) and then do another 4 hours. In some occasions I might do 3 of these, but the whole point of the road trip was to stop and enjoy the sites along the way to the main destination. Doing a similar trip to the West coast next.

Yeah I confirmed the trailer was level and since the surge lockout worked my best hypothesis is the regen breaking. Same trailer/boat on my now expedition doesn’t have the problem.

Come on, Rich, let Rivian have it! You were way too nice after the shit show they put you through on getting your truck repaired😁. Lots of 4-letter words were used if I remember correctly 😂

yeah, my take is, surge brakes are a bad idea unless you have no other option.

Proud of you bro! Keep pushing yourself & you're riding both on the boat and cable. Look forward to more progression vids this season. Speaking of which, how about a Regression vid, and I can star in it?🤣 These last 2 summers of being hurt and not getting as much riding in REALLY sucked! So my goals for this coming summer at age 51, is to stay healthy and get my limited riding skills back to being consistent so I can at least build back my confidence in my riding. Let's hope this Spring is good to us and we can start riding in about 3-3.5 months. Aloha!

I love where your head is at Ryan. Hoping you have a strong and healthy start this season as well. No regression videos allowed! Jk. I think you still rip harder than 99% of people 50+. Still go bigger than most anyone in Utah. Glad we’re getting these storms this weekend. I was worried about the low snow pack to refill reservoirs but this should put us back on track

Would you recommend them for cable riding? I know you ride the space mobs on cable, just wondering how you'd feel about these behind cable assuming you don't need the liner for the walk back. I had some KTVs for boat riding, but I found myself getting bad hotspots at the outer edge of my foot, so I'm steering clear of slingshot for right now. I know the ronixs are supposed to be the most comfortable, I'm debating between these or maybe some systems for the easy entrance / exits at the park. Thanks mate.

That’s a good question. I would say it depends what you want to do on the cable. I think if you are focused on kicker hits and air tricks, these could be great bindings. They do run stiffer than most cable bindings do though. I know you said that you don’t need the liner for the walk back, but if you ever do travel to another park, it is nice to have. Hyperlite Systems could be a good option. There are also a number of other walkable liners similar to how the space mob works. Ronix has the Kinetic and Atmos Exp which are intuition liners. I’ve never ridden either but they do look interesting. Hyperlite even has a walkable boot and they also have the system. If possible, I would see if you can try some on or if there’s an online shop area that has cheaper/free returns.

Yeah I can do that. Rode the Native previous to it as well. Probably worth contrasting those 2.
