You should ditch finals and go straight to riding. you know you want to.

They sell snowboard boots at ross?

 

Debating on buying either TM2's... or Burton Rulers... Boots

I really can't pick which one!! (last years model)

 

I'm very happy with my tm-twos. And once they break in, they are even nicer. Been riding 32's for 5 years now.

 

I asked the same thing many posts ago, but it got lost in all the conditions & injury updates. So far Aaron (04Impreza) saw 'em @San Leandro/Bayfair last week.

According to the Nike Boots @ Ross thread on TruSnow, someone near your area found some. His profile says he's in Sta Cruz, but unfortunately he didn't say which exact one in his post.
Look in this thread... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42500
Also, another on there recently posted that they're @ the Turlock one, so maybe Justin could scoop 'em up for you.

I'm hoping someone chimes in soon b/c I wanna see how they fit me & if they are stiff enough.

 

How's the flex / stiffness on em? I'm looking for a decently stiff boot

 

Have you tried on each pair? Go w/ whichever fits your foot best. The TM-2s are a touch more supportive (7/10), whereas the Rulers are also right around there (6/10).

For my foot, 32s felt a bit too wide. Burtons, Vans & a couple others fit mine pretty well. I'm still hunting.

Do NOT skimp on boots! They're the most important piece of the puzzle. Make sure they fit snug (no heel lift or sloppiness in the toes) w/ no pressure points anywhere. And of course, be sure they provide the support (flex/stiffness) you want according to your riding skill & style.

 

Yeah I agree. And no I haven't tried on either. I can't find a local shop that carries them? Suggestions? I was just browsing trusnow for em

 

7/10. I think they're pretty stiff, but they softened a bit upon breakin. I do a good mix of backcountry and park and I like them plus they're super light and you can heat mold them. I don't know how long they stay stiff though. I personally don't care for anything burton though.

I know that 32 makes the "prime" which is like 9/10 stiffness, but that is this years model.

 

Maybe call up the place in Napa you got your deck & binders.

I'm almost 100% positive places like REI, AnyMtn, etc. carry Rulers. I have no clue where to try out some TM-Twos. REI & SportsBasement have a few other 32 models. Maybe go to 32's website & do a store locator search. Then call up the "hits."

 

My boots have zero support. They're duct taped together and the big toe is cut off the liners. Haa.

 

what size boot do you wear?

thirty twos are the ****, i have those ones with the wire ties and oh man are they confe! they mold to your feet once they break in.

 

winner

 

my face still hurts but I'm thinking about going up Sunday! Should be a powder day!!

 

^ you know I'll be there!

 

Size 11. I'd love to run some 32's.
