JWCarve

Nice shape, not sure of exact specs. Accepting offers. Thanks

Speaking of, I took 50 or so pics of any carvers I could see on the trails friday and wanted to post someplace but when I tried here it limits upload to like 4 per post, is there a quicker way? Thanks Jarek

Donek 169 WD about 2 days use, no bindings, message to make offer, best reasonable offer takes it

Thanks Ian, finally had a small breakthrough this weekend due to actual powder in the northeast so really fired up. See you there J

Hey guys, newbie here from NJ, in the sense that Ive been attempting to ride alpine for a season or two now when Im not riding a softboot goofy board but had little success, probably a combination of poor equipment/setup and zero instruction outside youtube. I can stay on edge and go fast but thats about it. Really interested in a beginner clinic and trying out boards that can help me have a breakthrough, not sure yet which day I'll be able to come up possibly some time between 24th and 26th. Should I email someone specifically about clinic arrangements/demos? Thanks! Looking forward. Jarek

great thanks for links for some reason i only found one of those threads myself. I just did the wings mod, got a little cut happy because i was using a dremel cutting disk which made it cut really quick but less range of motion and on one boot resulted in a bit of hole showing on side, lol guess i wont be selling them. but wow what a difference in foward flex its like a new boot even without the hole/slit in back. Now just looking for a source that actually has either system in stock as walk mode is REALLY loose now.

So im finding that these boots are either very stiff with short lean range or in walkmode are just too loose for me and unpredictable. What upgrade options are there which are available today including sources in terms of a spring system? Confused whether only Bts work s on these or ACSS also or there are others too. Thanks

anyone ever have that problem?

btw now that i think about it would not being able to reach toe of rear foot with hand say something about bad setup? besides not being too flexible that is, mayne it has to do with the vitruvian man and over or under canting.....

thanks guys yeah ill keep experimenting something is def not optimal since i get tired real quick...then again javent boarded for 15 yrs on hard boots and a stiff board but ive seen guys realy relaxed on alpine setups so there must be a sweetspot. and you probably have to be in better shape than regulag boarding heck im barely flexible enough to lock the rear binding think i need a string lol

im not necessarily having too little lean on either leg, just thought id force my knees to bend since on non alpine board and skis i get lazy and ride too straight. but i see the point especially when in certain boots max lean means stiffest lean. like i mentioned newb question i got lots to learn still trying to figure out how cants work with boot lean with bindings like sidewinders, etc. theres a lot of room for adjustments and deciding on how stiff you want to go which is what im trying to figure out now. i guess heel canting is somewhat like forcing boot screw into max forward lean with no play in a way. i think. ill try to loosen boot lean up and get a wider ROM. would it be completely counterproductive to ride in walk mode with no tension on boot lean? i guess so since youd have delayed edge response albeit more comfort

in a somewhat cant related field, how do you guys prefer to set forward lean? on the stock HSPs the only way to get a good knee bend is to tighten the bottom nut, which in consequence makes them very inflexible forward/aft, trying to figure out if its worth it in order to get lots of forward lean (i tend to get lazy on any board and stand too upright), or its better to have the spring non-compressed and easier to flex. im assuming that might be easier on the body but less responsive

sorry i meant from that tech page, theyre wmv and qt and my android wont play them, youtube is fine, uess i can always dl and use usb cable to transfer to phone, just surprised thats all,didnt even get to watch them yet to see if any good

Can i get some feedback on canting paragraph here: extremecarving.com/tech/set.html Is no canting good for a certain type of riding? Im referring to both but especially inward cants, it seems like it might make sense since less bend is given to board from legs. Newb question so dont be too hard. Thanks

Nice, keep them coming :) Would be a great thread to pull up on slope and watch in between runs on phone. I also found these: http://www.extremecarving.com/tech/tech.html Too bad neither format will play on my mobile devices.
