Found this CSIA doc that briefly describes and illustrates the interaction between SCR & flex in a carved turn. Look at pages 16-17. https://csia.snowpro.com/ServicesServlet/telechargement/document/Performance_Model.pdf

@Board Doctor The situation for a road cyclist is quite a bit different compared to skiers & riders on a ski slope. On the road the light shines in the direction of the traffic behind you in the lane. The vehicles are all travelling in the same direction. On snow in daylight you would need a very bright light that blinks in all directions to add significantly to visual impact of bright clothing. At night even a very modest amount of flashing red light will significantly improve your visibility from a good distance.

Seriously considered it for night riding. Daytime, I'm with @Odd Job been wearing red snow clothing for 10+ years. Photographers know that red catches the eye in any image.

You look like a man having a great day!

Or just made the screws shorter.

Your options are greater if you have smaller feet/boots. You have much more leeway to move your boot backwards or forwards along the binding. At mondo 29 I'm unable to get my UPZ RC10 boot sole centre mark over the centre of my bindings (Bomber TD3s & F2 Race Intecs). Instead I adjust using all the options available to get the toe of my rear boot at the board edge, and the heel of my front boot at the board edge (no overhang) while also achieving my desired stance distance and binding angles & splay. Adjustment options are - Adjust the binding angle Move the boot backwards or forwards along the binding Turn the binding discs so that they run across the board rather than along the board I figure that in the end I want to tilt the board, and having the toes & heels aligned close to the edge is more relevant to that than the position of the boot over the binding.

@Chouinard You just need to find this post again. Glad to hear you found a solution. I have a few "tips to remember" at the beginning of each season.

Emi Sato was an active World Cup level racer for Japan till recently. FIS athlete profile says born 1990.

Single application bridging the teeth on the adjuster and the gap in which it rotates has held through at least 2 seasons of use. It is the work of a moment to do it. The F2 Intec front loop fits my UPZ shells beautifully otherwise. The things I've done to try to get the toe pressure evenly spread on my Bomber TD3s is a whole different story. There's a possible product improvement for TDs right there.

Not with a dab from a hot glue gun. Been there.

Your RS binding toe pieces don't seem to have any vertical adjustment, unlike some other F2 bindings. You almost need to tape a 1-2mm thick shim onto the toepiece flat surface bring the underside of the steel loop to bear properly on the top of the boot toe block.

I had wondered about the same and was thinking of mounting mine on the boot shell, or the board surface just outside my front and rear bindings.

Just about to buy my season pass for my chosen field for the coming Southern Hemisphere winter. I'm looking at riding in August.

I was exploring the CARV website a couple of days ago. Was invited to trial run a couple of web pages relating to a new product they are developing. New version is just motion sensors clipped to boot cuffs, no sole pressure sensors, so easily exchangeable between boots. They are now, as well as reporting turn angulation for each leg, reporting G forces experienced in the turn. The higher the G force the more powerful the change in direction, the better the carve effectively. I think there is enough in the graphs the app produces that I can interpret for myself as an alpine boarder to make it worth my while trying it. I'm hoping the new version actually appears in time for me to trial it this Southern winter. Ski IQ is a derived value to stroke the ego. I have more interest in the data. Only one way to find out.

Middle of the board base, finished off with the tail. Soft snow compression on groom and spray creates the width. Absolutely a carve.
