New Boots for this Sloth

After many months of emails and phone calls, finally my new boots arrived yesterday. Fully stoked on getting these! OK, so they're a bit Shaun White, but they're super-comfy, stiffer than my Lashed, light-as, way better laces, stuff and things really. Got to love ThirtyTwo for sorting me out with these - truly amazing customer service. YesCoolStar I'd ridden my Lashed for nearly 2 seasons, one of them had started to come apart near the toe. So I contacted them and was eventually told to send them up to Auckland. Not a lot of boots left at this end of the season, so it was a case of "here's what we've got, take your pick". These Tm-Two's definitely stood out as the ones to go for - a few models up from the Lashed, a bit stiffer being a good thing. Might get them heat moulded before Japan and will have to walk round the house in them for a couple months.

yes, you're right, White boots = ride hard and fast. I dunno how that's gonna work for me then.

Hang on, is this Bob or King? Looks like both!

I'm confused Big B, are you riding this winter of have you joined NASA?

Truly a mighty white pair of boots, awesome of ThirtyTwo to do that, you probably could've done with some black ones so as not to lose your feet in all that powder in Japan!!!

Anyone for tennis?

Mate, don't even start me on the tennis. Dunno what I ate last night but I've won a whole Grand Slam today (aces every time). SJ feeling sick of the stench. Fortunately I think the worst has passed.

Oh, hang on, there we go. 15-15. Back to you

Yeah, ok fine then. I'll match it up with the Shaun White jacket and pants and I'd blend in perfectly with all the other stormtroopers.
