Yeah Jere dance the line away 🪩

@@bigsenderdriven this funky soul 😂

indeed

@@kevinsandstrom5833 that would be unreal, kind of like this line

@@SummerSlacker2001 lots of archival 2024 footie

@@jonathanhull8492 to an extent yes, on these particular boots they travel all mountainous terrain including scrambling on rock and kicking into hard surfaces. But the toe bail shouldn’t be damaging toe welt. Scuffs are ok

Thanks!

I have both (Atomic Backland with the Link Lever), Disruptive are more comfy but a bit heavier. Disruptive are a lot more durable and does not feel flimsy at all. One season on the backland and they were pretty much ruined. Disruptive also comes with a proper liner compared to the paper thin liner in the Atomic (you will want a intuition liner). Overall once you get use to the flex of the Disruptive, everything is better about it. If you like stiffer boots, I would recommend order the stiff tongue for the Disruptive .

Thanks a lot for this. I think you’ve broken Phantom’s heart, they’ve just announced they’re stopping boot production :)

@@gnar_tar hi. I was wondering exactly what you mean by "once you get used to the flex" ? do you think they are more stiff or softer than a phantom slipper?

@@jackcody3102 the flex just feel different, Phantom slipper has a decent flex and not that stiff even with the heavier weight spring (I'm 180 lbs) and then hit a wall when you hit the bushing (either compress or fully extend the spring). The Disruptive feel like the flex is the same throughout the whole boots and never ramp up or hit the wall feeling. Hard to explain but hopefully that helps. I like stiff boots in general in my soft boots and the Disruptive with the stiff flex tongue works great for me.

@@gnar_tar Your description makes a lot of sense actually about hitting the wall. Good explanation, thank you :)

These were quite new with a new after market liner at time of filming. Now while skinning uphill they flex as easy as any other boot Ive owned.

as an owner of these I can say they have quite big range of montion when walking. I'm walking with the cuff lever unlocked as this is significantly reducing the flex and allowing much more freedom. When it's locked, it tightens the tongue which is great for riding, but then it's a bit hard to move the boot by hand to do a demo, like it is in the case.

@@jereburrell is the cuffrange of motion the same as for the backland? Thanks for reviewing. :)

Sure, the strap also adds into the soft boot flex profile that ladder strap/ buckle couldn't.

At first it felt different but evetually I didn't even notice the difference. Performance wis,e I have felt no limitations with stride or kick turns.

Thanks for the reply. I bought the boots and have 30 plus tours on them now. Absolutely LOVE the boots. The walk mode is not quite as good as the back land but it’s close enough. The down hill performance is a million times better

I tried both the phantoms and the disruptive. The disruptive feels much closer to a soft boot and still is great on the uphill

Just another great option for people to choose from. Really split specific boots aren't required or even preferred for most splitboarders out there.

Those were atomic backlands

Its a petzl ride 45cm

pick the boot that fits the best. which is hard to do. I ride the atomic backland pro with no mods or after market components, just a nice liner

very memorable day indeed

center of the universe hitting with that north shore swell

Pretty unusual conditions for the area and anywhere for that matter. Ultimately terrain choice and timing are key elements to riding everyday in conditions like that. Some of the most memorable experiences as a professional.

In the Mount Baker backcountry. Legendary

haha ya that isn't too comfortable

Thanks Greg! Hope your well

Thanks, for the feedback. I'd be stoked to do a review and update!

Always welcome

ridden it yet? what boots? thoughts? the kool-aid looks sooooo good

Thanks! Hopefully the transition has been working well for you.

Glad its helpful, this is a pretty deep topic and requires quality observations over time

Thanks Gregg! Hope things are good!

The shred life chose me

We get around 700" of snow each winter so its DEEEEP!
