First off i know this is a repost but the guy that posted about it just got bashed for bragging that he could get them (like hes the only one haha) and no real info about the boot was given.

So anyway im thinking about ordering the boot for this year but i cant really find any info other than whats on http://www.nordicafreeskiers.com/site/collection.php?site=1&lang=1&idColl=4 

Anyone got any real info? anyone riden them?

still the same as the ignition boot basically, still going to give you shin bang, and still going to hurt when you under/over shoot stuff. there nothing new really, if u get a chance thry them out and then try out the old ignition, there exactly the same.

The one thing that stands out about the boots is that is has a progressive tongue, when you flex the boot it increases from like 90 to 130...or somethin like that

This is what I posted from the other thread, not seeing yours:

Those boots are sick.  I had a pair on a few weeks ago to try, and I was really impressed.  Really interesting design- even though it's a 3-piece, the tongue isn't as important in the flex of the boot as say a FT or Dalbello. It's all in the rear spine and how the lower shell flexes into it.  Great fit too, they say it has a 101mm last but it doesn't feel as spacey as a Beast/Ignition for example.

The whole sole was very narrow, and I who have a quite wide footblade had problems with "floating" up in the boot even while having it strapped.

It feels kinda light, in my opinion, and the progressive flex felt nice. Not sure how it's going to be in sketchy landings though.
