  2. Hit by a skier

    in Carving Central

    I have to admit, I had a collision this past weekend and I was the UPHILL skier/carver..... Unfortunately, it was with a chairlift pole!!!!!!! Funny, it did not complain or pick my board up and throw it into the woods. :smashfrea

    No injuries though (unless you count my ego from the laughter from the chairlift....).

  18. Skwal info.

    Looking at getting a skwal. Anyone have any insight into board selection?? I currently ride a Madd 170 and a 'Bruce special' VSR.

    Can you use TD3's on these boards or are they too wide?

    I am looking at a Guepard 183, anyone on that board currently? I weigh 210 lbs and 6'2".

  20. How cold will you go?

    Super cold snow is unrideable out this way. I went to Kicking Horse after a solid week of -30C temps, dropped off the first run, and stopped. It was like glue. We had to ride in areas where it was sun exposed, because anything in shadow would bring you to a screaming halt

    Kicking horse on a carve board???? Man, not too much terrain there to lay it out!!!

    I was out there last year when that couple disappeared, had my hard boot set up and only used it one day. Skied the rest of the time.. too much steep and deep.

    I LOVE this board!!! have been out on it 2 days and cant put it down... Even after just receiving my new VSR from Bruce. I walk out the door each day torn as to which board I am going to pick up. It just feels like an extension of my body... :1luvu:

    cool,

    i will try these suggestions. I just put some inward canting in my setup this year cause I read so much about it in this forum. I will try and take it out and see if that helps. In my little head when the hampsters are running in the treadmill, logic tells me that putting more lift on my front toe (5-6 degrees) would push my stance more onto my rear? Does that work in reality? (I dont currently have 6 deg plates).

  25. front leg stacking

    Had my first day on the slopes this weekend. Feeling pretty good BUT..... Here are my details: riding a Prior 179 4WD. (my new Coiler is sitting in the closet till snow conditions improve). angles of 60/58 and TD3's with 3 degree plates front and rear. currently have set up with about 1.5 inward cant on front and whatever that gives me for toe lift (probably about 1-1.5 toe lift). and the same inward cant on the rear but with heel lift.

    Problem I am finding is that I have good feel of my toeside carve, but when I am on my heelside I cant help but have almost all my weight on my front leg and that my rear leg is just along for the ride..... Thus, I have little confidence to commit to the heelside and find that I am sliding out whenever I am on anything but hero snow.

    Is there any suggestions on canting or lift that anyone can suggest to try and get more weight to my back leg? If I just lean back it just gets away from me.
