Hello everybody,
I would ask for an opinion about something strange I'm experiencing with my stance setup.
I've got a Kessler 168 (20cm waisted), TD2 Bindings and Track 700 boots.
I used to ride with
3° cant disk on the front (all for lifting the front toe)
6° on the back (all for lifting the back heel)
57°/53°
48cm stance.
It was comfortable for the riding but I noticed that my front leg was almost straight on the backside carve (and I don't know if it's right since it's, for sure, ugly to be seen).
Then I tried the following:
0° cant disk on the front
6° cant disk on the back (at 70°, so splitted between cant/heel-lift)
same angles and stance.
Everything is properly for the frontside (and the position seems to be visually better) but... while I try to carve backside, I feel as if my rear foot would be trying to open itself (as if the tip of the foot would like to go toward the tail of the board, blocked only by the boot shell, producing pain at the ankle). This is the only bad feeling (nothing on the front foot, hips, etc).
It seems that it can be solved with lower angle (following what the back foot would do) but... with 53° I'm already on the edges.
Any idea about?!
The more I bend the knees (as it should be in the turn progression), the strong my foot tip try to "open".
Thanks a lot for every opinion/suggestion!
