Baller Fjeff Posted July 5 Baller Share Posted July 5 I recently attempted to make the switch from double Powershells to a Reflex R Style Rear and a front FM Silvretta Release unit. Things were progressing until the Silvretta Release prematurely exploded while cutting across the wakes at 32 off, resulting in by far the hardest fall I have had in over 20 years. I am looking at replacing my front boot with either a Reflex Classic Boot or the Classic Carbon U. In attempting to perform some due diligence, am I correct in my assumption that the pictures I continually find online of the pros, the majority of them are still using the Classic Slalom shell? Does anyone have any experience/recommendations between the two shells? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Deanoski Posted Wednesday at 02:13 PM Baller Share Posted Wednesday at 02:13 PM Why change boots? The reflex release was the problem not the boot get a fm with the cuff release no mechanical release the reflex release unit was developed for ww1. For the military. It’s a Pos. Imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted Wednesday at 05:01 PM Administrators Share Posted Wednesday at 05:01 PM The Carbon U is for skiers who want the shell to be stiffer side to side. I know more than a few skiers who feel that the stiffer feel side to side is better. Personally, I like a very soft shell side to side. It is a personal preference.
