Yo Shawn... You're the man bro. I would've never thought of rockin' socks riding until that guy called you out last week.

It's the holy grail of closed toe bindings. I'll be rockin' the socks all year. Plus you look like a gangster with knee high black's on. PIMP'

Try it guys.... You'll like it. LOL!!!

I am going to give it a shot, I don't like the idea of putting on/taking off socks, so I may stick with my elastic sleeves with the open heel/toe from last year. I am hoping to find something to get the insoles of my 08 Murrays to stay in place. They are a nice addition, but they move around at times.

I forgot to mention, I noticed Murray's socks in one of his recent Hyperlite ads, they are barely visible, but they are white.

i don't get it...

Yup, for real. I've got some black Billabong socks that are perfect. I don't think they're 100% cotton. Pretty sure they're some type of poly blend. They're really stretchy and slide into the neoprene liners really well.

It keeps my feet really planted in the bindings without having to tighten them too much. Think about it.... Try playing basketball in your shoes without socks. Your feet slide all over the place, even if your shoes fit well. Same thing for bindings. My feet just feel more planted, plus it stops my toenails from being smashed by the toe of the boot (I couldn't ever feel it, but my big toe nail was black and blue after a few sets with the bindings really tight).

Plus I'm gonna rock it just because people were making fun of it. If it's good enough for Shawn (Murray or Hammond), then it's good enough for me.

Al, I like the soccer socks. Nice twist.

Shawn... Shasta, man. I'm counting the days. I can't wait.

I smell (no pun intended) a new product: CIE wake socks!

K.B.C. 06-13-2008, 2:15 PM

that settles it, I'm trying it tonight

Do it... You wont look back.

JR... for sure. Between Shaun Murray, Shawn Hammond and Joel D. I figured there must be something to it. Billy and I both rocked the socks last night. It's COMFY!!!

We'll be at DRA this weekend. Roll up with the boys. We'll party it right. I'm hoping to get some rides in, too. Not sure if we can hook a pull at Oroville or maybe a early pull with G-money on the pond. Joel bringing the Winch with him? Night time slider sets would be il.

Let's ride the D next week. I'm down for any day.

My boots are feeling so perfect right now. I can't imagine socks making any improvement, but I guess I need to try it, eh?

Hammond is da man though, even without the socks.
