  10. Mont Blanc has a relatively big crowd of hardbooters on the weekends it always strikes me as way over the numbers I see anywhere else on the hills in the Laurentians.
  11. yup i have had my prior wcr77 tuned that way often 1d base under foot and 2+ gradually towards the tips sides are constant and start at 88d under foot and go past 90d at the with my detune tip and tail had this done at max ski service in Mont Ttremblant same guy tunes JJ Andersons boards says its how he likes em a much more forgiving ride ensues I feel i can engage and disengage the carve mid turn, at will these days all my boards have 1 or 1.5 base and a side edge that = to < 90 total save the jib board thats at 3 or 4 base and >90 total
  12. saw these on their site about a month ago de cambered noses started me thinking about getting a twin HB board wider than most racers but not a AM
  13. both eyes infected? if not use one contact tore a contact a few weeks ago went all day with my rear one
  14. snowboard binding adjustment is an art NOT a set up and ride rotate your high backs parallel with your heelside edge is your neutral stance lined up with your board, or your boot angles play with those angles
  15. no I'm Chewy Alex Burr that list is what I understand the riding standard to be for the level 4 freestyle exams Jam + rails
  16. use the park all you want on any setup BUT if not using the features in the park and are carving around them remember the hourglass around each feature(take off and landing) 1 its much bigger than we think 2 in that space the standard downhill rider priority does not apply seem to be a huge issues with park cruisers
  17. as an instructor I want to use the same tool as my student I am mostly a softbooter and have been since day one for a long time i tried to find the perfect softboot carve setup then i started carving with plates and love to do so thats when i stopped trying to build the softboot carving setup overall board tech but mostly softboot evolution in freeride setups have helped a bunch the only stipulation for any casi course in terms of mandatory setup is in the level 4 carving, hardboots and plates. While most people do it all on softs there are and have been some who chose plates for levels 1-2-3, even seen one guy do the level 3 park day on plates and pass
  18. a controlled slid turn is never carved so it should be slid but because most rider have no technique and slide all around, a well executed sliding turn can be a slarve
  19. wow thats BS CASI has added a freestyle component to its level4 and one must choose hard boots or freestyle along with the traditional steeps and terrain adaptation(moguls) as for doing levels on hard boots i can say that its much easier on softs level 1 beginner demos should be done on softs the level of carving for level 2 done on hard boots is akin to overkill green and blue terrain with very large radii level 3 could be done on hard boots but only for the carving part moguls and parck are not ridden most efficiently that way and for the 4 if you can do all 4 3s and a 540 on 40 foot jumps and all 4 3s in the pipe a couple meters out then you can not ride in hard boots CASI is an association of members, driven by said members so we change with the times the carve module can be done by level 1s and strongly suggested to do on hard boots who told you this? he must be a jibber that does not ride in hard boots someone who thinks you can carve in soft boots(well you can ist just like driving a civic around an F1 track, instead of an F1
  20. Salomon boards are all made in Tunisia and China their bindings were once made in Romania and the Czech republic, even Italy, so were most of the Burton bindings. now all made in china early Burton European board production was by atomic in austria (still is?) Tunisia is one of the most highly educated and well trained work force countries around, with favorable import export taxes and very little environmental law I believe that almost all of the K2 umbrella in made in china
  21. the boo is gona get you, the boo is gona get you true pros will be on the lift at the crack of dawn next day or still be tied to some cougars bedframe
  22. SQS all I can say is that the après in tremblant will be at the Ptit Caribou...on the resort, dinner at La Diable microbrewery later, then back to the Caribou till the lights come on at 3 and Mont Blanc has a perfect bar slope side at the base Habitant is a St-Sauveur date...
