So i am switching from the 08 slingshot board and bindings to the 145 Vandall and am looking into the Gonzales boot... has anyone tried them out? What do you think? Does anyone have any pictures of the limited editions?

Jruss-

The Gonzales boots are rad. Straight up. I've been on them for the last 3 months and i love them. And it take alot for me to like a new pair of bindings seeing that ive been in the same CD's for the last 4 seasons. Try them out you would be disappointed.

so I am a pretty big guy right... I'm like 6 '3 220lbs. So don't get me wrong the board is so sick but the problem is when I do any trick and I land a little tail heavy at all the board would flex, like it is supposed to, but it would flex to much and it would keep flexing tell I would slid out. I would slid out on every jump. I guess that would be partly my fault but I want a board that I can go big on and not slid out. what are your thoughts?

do you have the board set at the maximum width on the bindings? I ride a slingshot at 200lbs and it lands pretty flat it does take some time getting used to I've only been out 3-4 times on mine and still getting used to it.

Yeah i think i will try it out a couple more times but i must say that that 145 Randall Harris board is money.

The LEGEND is a siiiiiiccccckk board dude. You will love it once you get used to it...might take a little while to get used to comin from a slingshot but will be well worth it. HUGE pop, soft landings, and suuppper fast.
