burton capstrap is def the way to go.

p1’s over missions 100%. straps are better, excess male strap goes into female strap. gel in the bottom (not a big deal).

missions are nice though, and def a good step up from customs.

as for flow; i would never ride them, but i’ve heard shop people say they’ve gotten a TON better. flow is sending my boss and I a pair to try out, so I’ll review them then.

i will be down to go out whenever as soon as finals week is over!

If there is one thing I do not miss about this time a year. Its the assholes on the chair lifts.

Tuff guys when they’re 15 feet in the air… Fucking Sally’s when you wait for them at the base.

Otherwise, good times at HV tonight. :tup:

And I love my p1s

We just picked flow up last year. To be honest they are really not that bad. If you adjust them properly to the boot you should have no problem with the. I would only recommend them to the people who want something easy to get in and out of. They are perfect for the people who want a step in system. Which are pretty much absolute at this point.

I’ll be riding the Alpha this year from Ride.

Dre - how much can you obtain P1’s for? Honestly, i’d rather have you make some money rather than Burton.

they usually telescope out a bit. i havent seen this years up close, but on the old ones on the female side they had adjustments, you just have to take the screw out and lengthen it
