Initial Thoughts: Roxa R3S 130 Ski Boots

This season I have made a switch to Roxa Ski Boots , Roxa is an Italian Manufacturer that at one point was making boots for Raichle . My weapon of choice is the Roxa R3S 130 All Mountain Cabrio, an all mountain boot that I can race in. I was happy that I the wait and the weight was over! A beautiful looking boot Out of the box the first thing I noticed was how light these boots were, being a coach/instructor I am in my boots 4 days a week up to 8 hours a day, so being light is a good thing! at around 1600 grams they are the lightest boots I have ever owned.

Day #4 Vallee Blanche with Evolution 2

At the base getting ready to ride the 2nd scariest tram in the world So one of my bucket list items has been to ski the Vallee Blance, one if not the most famous runs in the world and today was the day!

To which I said great another old grumpy French guy, he have me a pretty dirty look. Me and Robert our guide from Evolution 2 So a few minuets later this grumpy old French guy came over and asked my name I told him 2 under Lining, he says your with me!! Great I've already pissed off the guide he's gonna kill me up there. Well our group turned

My New KTM Myroon Prestige Mountain Bike

KTM Myroon Prestige Hardtail Mountain Bike The Bike I have been riding a Specialized S-Works Epic since the very first one was released and even before that I rode a Specialized FSR, I need to go back to 1994 and my Trek 9900 to find myself riding a hardtail bike. This year I opted for a change and applied to be an Ambassador for KTM Bikes, same name as the motorcyles, factories in the same city, but completely different and seperate companies. For the past 10 years I have worn the orange of Cycletherapy Bikes, the owner Ernie and his staff have always been nothing but wonderful to me, going that extra mile when I needed help with bikes, parts, etc, they helped me be prepared and finish so many races, and I want to Thank him for all that he has done over the years. I am now an Ambassador for KTM bicycles, they are trying to get a footprint here in the US and very big in Europe, headquartered in Austria. A month ago I sold my Epic and was ready to ride a KTM I was really looki
