Well I must have jinxed myself because I broke the internals in my back foot riding today. I decided to just unclip the front and roll with it to not lose any time on the mountain because today was an excellent powder day. While I usually travel with extra parts for everything, I didn’t have the replacement parts with me today so had to ride that way the rest of they day. What used to be a second nature maneuver, skating around and even just gliding, was a huge pain. So awkward…like trying to throw a ball left handed. I always thought it was strange seeing other skwal riders get around this way with the front foot unclipped. I can see how it would be beneficial for a non step-in setup though to make clipping the toe easier.
