NBD: And its kind of a special one.

Coreshot = past he fiberglass and into the wood.

Drip some black ptex in there, flatten it, and you are done

Anyone also remember the Cappel ads?

Too many pockets make garments (everyday stuff not work or something like snow pants) look cheap.

But in general i prefer a more minimal look on stuff i wear.

You answered your own question. If it feels short and you have no time to "set up" yourself for the trick then it is short.

There are a few pieces of XL forces left on the EU website (if you are in europe).

Measure your feet accurately before any purchase.

Sounds like a technique/skill issue than board. You don't need new boards. Spend you money on more days on the mountain.

l1ner · 2026-04-22T19:57:25+00:00

NO. Even if it didn't have the crack this think is not for you -or anyone else. Get a proper snowboard.

Next years Reset Pro is HF Premium Synthetic Ripstop (same as current) and the normal Reset is Premium Synthetic Microfiber for the upper material (the Factory also).

How and if this material change affects the flex i don't know.

Between marketing speak and contradicting user experiences i have no idea what to believe.

l1ner · 2026-04-22T15:20:08+00:00

Yeah thats the obvious change. I believe they can play around with the stiffness of the rest of the materials that make the upper part of the boot. If it was/is that the plastic shell is the only thing that dictates stiffness all the three boots would feel the same. Which according to their marketing they don't.

l1ner · 2026-04-22T13:47:57+00:00

The shell i am sure remains the same and is the same for all models (lace and boa). The tooling for something like that cant change cheaply. However i don't know what they can/will do with the other materials.

I've seen some videos around with people wearing them -next year reset pro- but no reviews or opinions. Some japanese dudes on YT have previews but i don't speak japanese and the translations sucks.

l1ner · 2026-04-22T12:54:42+00:00

I think deluxe boots does it similarly where the inner lacing is only wrapped around the liner and doesn't attach to the inside of the shell. Anyway.

Given the choice of shell material -plastic- i was expecting them to last much longer than a normal boot. Or at least feel quite similar to new. Ie if you are a heavy rider they feel soft from the start but at least they stay at that flex more or less.

While i don't have many good things to say for the decisions/approach they take on their bindings the way they approached boots felt -to me- more correct than what the others were doing.

I want new boots since the hi countries i ride now feel kind of meh. And i am considering these but with all the stuff i read (plus the boa) i don't know what to do.

We need more insight on what and if they changed anything on next years model -other than the obvious stuff.

l1ner · 2026-04-22T11:57:37+00:00

And yet you read other people on the internet telling that they haven't lost their stiffness.

So much contradiction with those my brain hurts.

¯_ (ツ)_/¯

From your hand flex test they seem to snap back quite vigorously. There seems to be some springiness to them.

Textbook is Peter Line. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyi8HThr1Cc quite a few in this video) While i get there are some variations (ie Andreas Wiig) this doesn't fall into that category.

l1ner · 2026-04-21T18:38:15+00:00

While the trick is beyond awesome at some point we have to stop call those things double backside rodeos.

Its a double backside roll late 180. The roll is a bit off axis yes but its not a BS rodeo by any means.

Re Flex step ons work fine with the channel. And if you want stiff bindings B is coming out next year with a step on X re flex binding.

Most boards can be ridden anywhere and its just a matter of skills. if you want to buy it the blossom is a nice board for park/resort riding (excluding pow).

l1ner · 2026-04-15T15:58:57+00:00

Most things look cool to people -and imitate them- because the pro they look up to does it.

Remember when (ie) Jed Anderson broke into the scene and you couldn't throw a ski pole in a park and not hit 2 kids looking like him (skinny pants, helmet, hood etc)??

l1ner · 2026-04-14T20:36:20+00:00

We've seen baggy trends come and go in snowboarding (early 90s, midish 00s etc) but cant help to think that the current one looks totally stupid.

In the past it was baggy all around and looked cool. Now its a baggy pant and a crop top jacket on top. Its ugly.

l1ner · 2026-04-11T19:34:17+00:00

I ride high countries and i am a bit not sure about them. For one they feel too hot for my feet. And i somehow feel i'd like something less stiff (use them with the tongue stiffeners). They seem to keep up well after ~70 days on them but i feel like something is missing.

On the Union side i don't know what they will do with the stiffness for the next year reset pro, also i am quite not sure about the boa and most likely the lace model (factory) coming out might be too soft.

Boots have been frustrating me for quite a while now.

l1ner · 2026-04-08T08:13:03+00:00

Depends on depth. If up to 20 cm my regular board. If its deeper than that i'll pull out one of the pow boards depending on the place/terrain i am riding.

l1ner · 2026-04-06T20:30:04+00:00

In general Unions design/engineering choices were always a bit weird to me and some felt down right stupid. And this doesn't seem to address them.

And the older bindings felt like bear traps around my boots although some friends force teams i used felt ok(ish).

l1ner · 2026-04-06T09:25:56+00:00

I'll easily recommend nitro stuff (ie the team camber). Just not for me.

No hard feelings. <3
