New Booties! Supertech AAARRRR's

[a13x]

Alpinestar just sent me over a new set of boots and I must say I'm rather impressed. I've been running a set of $75 Alpinestar SMX-3's that I bought off Craigslist since 2005... so needless to say a 'tip top tommy' style boot is a bit foreign to me.

However, whooo, these Supertech R's are the mutt's nuts mate! Super nice construction, uber-comfy, and look the bullocks! I decided to go with the ultra-flash "GP-Print" which feature the outlines of all of the GP tracks on a white background. Leopard print style if you will..

Can't wait to try these babies out on the track in two weeks. Thanks A-stars!



PS: Got my GP-Tech's a few weeks back and nothing but praise for them as well. Such a nice nice glove.

Nice, dude... My GP Tech's should be on the way any day now... placed an order last week.

I've been kinda eying the Supertechs, too but I'm also considering the Puma's.


Ain't new gear a wonderful thing?

[a13x]

We have the Puma's here at work. You know the Ducati Puma ones. I dunno, I wouldn't recommend them. They are pretty damn heavy and feel sort of chitzy. The Supertech's seem like a overall far better boot.

[OreoGaborio]

The 1000's or the Desmo's?

Bummer if it's the 1000's... I'll have to find a place where I can check em out in person. I'm diggin the looks & heard good things 'bout em from RacingNat



If that ain't good promotion I dunno what is

Whatever one's she's wearing are the one's I'm refering to. Their 'top of the line' bootie.

[OreoGaborio]

yip, those be the 1000's.

pimp boots

[ChR1s]

I've got the vintage Supertechs. Sturdy construction, but kinda vague with regard to peg feel.

Alex, do those boots have the toe seperator inside?

I need a new pair and do not like the toe seperators.

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

I have had three pairs of A'stars Boots, Supertechs Zipper broke on a street ride when they had about 200 miles on them(never raced) SMX+ That were my race boots last year Zipper broke Second weekend Duct taped the on for the rest of the season (really no biggie as the have the inner booty lace thing) And my old SMX4 That I got for $100 brand new from motostrano crashed well no issues.

I like the boots comfy on my feet Protec well, Just those damm cheap ass Zippers kill me (the supertechs were fixed under warranty) the SMX + with be fixed and for the street

Cant wait to hear how these do, I tried to get a friend to get a pair for his new boots this season but he passed. I do wish that the tracks look more like tracks and not bad camo.

I figured I'd throw down my new gear too...wanna be part of the "IN" crowd...Brand spankin new '08 A* MX-1 Suit BLK (w/ the bionic back aromor)...mmmmhmmmm-and got a fantastic discount!!!!
Along with the Icon Mechanica Domain II...yes sir...and since boots started this dicussion, which, if I had $400 to throw on SICK racing boots, the AAAAARRRR's would be in the top three. Got a hell of a deal on the Oxtar TCS Replica Boots. May not be the "mutts nuts" but sure as hell feel great!

[MotoFreak]

do they match your undies?

[OreoGaborio]

more importanly, do they match your brazire?

[a13x]

Holy CRAP!!

I got some new Alpinestars gear tonight.
Amanda got a full setup with jacket, boots, gloves, and leather pants (street style)
I got myself this Supermoto suit and a few new T's.



BOOM!!

All set for Supermoto racing in May at Sear's Point. Fucking suit is illlllll. Lighter weight and much more flexiblity than a full-on roadracing suit.

And yes, I did some home and put on all of my gear and walk around the house like a stormtrooper.

Nice country California

[OreoGaborio]

FUKIN WIN!

[OreoGaborio]

Alex I found ya some boot propaganda!

Discovery Turbo Channel :: Beyond Check out part 4.

There's a bunch of other sections about Alpinestars in there, too. Unfortunately the technical part of the boots is more about the Tech 10's, not the GP Techs. There's a LITTLE bit of talk about the GP Tech's in part 5 though.

You guys are really into feet.

[OreoGaborio]

if you've ever had a bike land on your ankle at 80mph, you'd be into protecting your feet too
