DVS teamrider Torey Pudwill releases his new pro shoe in an interview with Malibu Hamish a.k.a. The Illusion. Check it out below.

The Boot:  Forum the Tramp size 10.5 in Black gummer

Available Sizes:  US Men's size 7-13

Tech:  www.forumsnowboards.com

Flex:  Perfect stiffness and flex right out of the box. The tweaker cuff and shell construction make this freestyle boot move with you so you can tweak the hell out of any grab you like, and still remain comfortable. Traditional lacing on this boot means you can tighten each zone precisely to your comfort and flex settings, and the boot looks like a skate shoe. So clean. 

Comfort:  FGel under the feet provides all the cushioning you need to overshoot jumps and ollie huge stair sets to flat. The liner and footbeds are very comfortable and form fitting right out of the box and I have found no pressure points whatsoever after a week of riding. The first pair of boots that I ever enjoyed wearing on the very first day. Scout's honor! 

Smell Factor After A Week Riding Everyday:  Surprisingly very low. 

The Binding:  Forum Shaka size L in Oil Spill

Available Sizes:  Medium, Large 

Tech:  www.forumsnowboards.com

Flex:  Not too stiff but still very supportive. Great freestyle feel doesn't hinder anything you want to throw in the park. The Hinge disk offers un-paralleled underfoot flex, and this is very awesome and very noticeable. Cheers to ingenuity! 

Customization:  Pretty much anything you want to do from highback rotation to baseplate adjustment, and customizable freestyle straps to tool free ankle and toe strap adjustment is possible here.  It only took about 5 minutes to fully customize both bindings to perfectly fit my boots, and the tool-less adjustment feature of the straps is awesome on the hill. 

Comfort:  The EVA footpads with gel in the heel and toe are the business! They really help on those heavy landings and to minimize the feel of any chatter you might have while bombing down runs. Softer foam on the inside and harder foam on the outside give the feet a very comfortable stance position, and also help cushion as well. A great, all around solid feeling freestyle binding with cool sayings like "Stinking. Drinking. Thinking." on the straps. Can't go wrong!
