    A* SMX Plus Perf Boot Story

     TPM on Saturday, June 28th VIR South

    5th Session of the day.  A little too early with the throttle coming out off T1 and my bike comes out underneath me into a lowside, catches, and then I go right into a high-side and my right boot flew off my foot!!! What the F**K?

    I actually did a nice front flip tumble on my head to my back and landed on my right foot.  Then I started running off the track. I was like why do I feel lop-sided?  I look down. My sock is half missing, my foot is all black, I have a nice raspberry on my ankle.  Lastly I turn my head and my boot is out in the middle of the track.    

    My foot and ankle hurts like hell, but I'm still walking. The bottom of my foot is all bruised.  I called A*, and they want me the send the boot in for a product eval.  The boot had a huge slice in the medial frontal part of it.   Laced up!!! Zipped Up!!! Strapped Up and it still came off???

    I am not familar with SMX (only Supertechs), but your story sounds very unsual. When you put on the other boot on your good leg, can you actually pull it off without unzipping/untightening?

    Re: A* SMX Plus Perf Boot Story

    There was a race this year where something like that happened at the start.  I forget which series/class.  I think WSBK.  Dude's bike stalled at the starting line and someone hit him from behind so hard that one of his boots flew off into the stratosphere.  Crazy.
    I'm just kidding. But am I lying?

    crazy Joe......I believe this shouldn't have happened.  They should upgrade your boots to A* Supertechs for free due to your emotional distress. Big Smile
