Burton Ruler boot
Provides a nice support for the first 7 or 8 days of riding. For an aggressive rider, this boot will break in following those 7 or 8 days and become a straight up freestyle feeling boot. Sure, you can still rock it freeriding, but the support won't all be there anymore. They were a little stiff for my liking at first, then suddenly they turned into sneakers. One year later, I'm in the market again for some more boots that won't lose their support as quick as these Rulers did. The Driver is TO stiff for me, but i'm thinking about it. Can't go wrong with Burton boots though. They fit my feet right, plain and simple.
Freeride / Freestyle Support
Stiff enough to tear up the mountain but enough flex to do ya tricks.
good boots, good price
I found the Burton Ruler boots to be comfortable for walking and riding, good support and toasty warm too. I would recommend them to those looking for good reasonable priced boots. Dogfunk had a fair price and shipped them out in a timely manner.
What the Doctor Ordered
This was the boot I was looking for. I tried on several boots and just couldn't get comfortable until I put these on (at least for the same price range). After riding a boot that was too stiff for way too long, I thoroughly enjoy the balance of flex and response I get for a reasonable price.

Training Tips
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
