The older Titans were much stiffer and not as versatile.
iRally are also a great choice

Looks like he's setting this up on a Swoard Gen 4

Which is 30 degree on mine before it boots out.
I like the idea of 45 at the front though, will try that
-
Cool thanks.
Currently riding 35/40, still trying to figure out the heelside that low but will try 30/45.

Ride the lowest possible angles without overhang. Or, with a bit of overhang in the rear for pow/frerriding.
Underhang will make it harder to initiate and get onto the edge. Conversely, once high on the edge, it's a bit harder to get of it. I dare to say there would be a bit more edge pressure, but can not prove it. Also, it will be harder and bouncier to ride in rough conditions or moguls, with greater risk of shin bang.
How low can you go on hardboots before it's too low?

Why argue to change others?
This thread comes up every year.
We know we are very high risk for being hit from behind. Ride accordingly.

Your liable for at fault collisions in CO, ZONE. If you ever ride here, you might want to buy some glasses
No worry, I know the code.
My point is most don't bother reading past the he headline.

We only need 10 feet. 5 below and 5 above. I’m sick of this shit. Really and have made it loud and clear in Loveland management and patrol’s ears. Head on a swivel, and all of the other obvious prevention techniques are just not working. Education is key and it’s the Mountains responsibility to educate.
Something about ' Know some codes'.
I don't read fine prints. Sorry ;-)

Windy eh? Just 10 days ago I drove a Mustang convertible down the infamous Road to Hana on Maui :)
Lol autocorrect!
Great road.
Did you stop at Hookipa?

BTW Bruce Varsava had a nice NSX!

Another Miata fan :-)
A shame southern Ontario roads are not windy enough.

If you're relying on the tongue for stiffness (or softness), do keep in mind that the stiffness can vary greatly between 0C and -25C.
One way around it is to have a very soft tongue and adjust the stiffness with the springs.

Hey Zone, If it works for ya sockless I'd say ride it until either your toes fall off from the Ontario cold or the eventual liner smell knocks ya out!
My feet are like Thermo nuclear devices and usually never get cold!...but it's currently a deep freeze out here In northern NH where I'm at for the holidays (.....the high tomorrow is supposed to be a balmy negative -3 - ugh!) and in this cold my toes would shrivel up pop off like raisins without some type of sock!!
Lol
To test it out.
-19c (-2.2F) barefoot and toasty warm today.
Stink test is next ;-)
-
Except I sweat so much usually the socks and liners and soaked by the end of the day.
I would have to change socks (and thick ones) 3-4 times per session if it was too keep the liners dry.
But maybe the socks hold the dead skin to prevent smell? I don't know. Hence the question.
Should have drain holes in the liners lol.
-
Cold has never been an issue unless I'm skiing.
Smell is what I'm worried about and I'm not sure thin socks would make a difference, or am I wrong?
-
I have new liners that are really snugs ( I realized I was a bit too floaty in the past and filled the void with thicker socks).
I tried them with thin socks then with no socks.
Wearing no socks felt amazing, with no ill effect observed.
My feet do get quite sweaty but almost never cold.
Can I keep going without socks? Would the liners stink more than with thin socks in the long run?

First time I wore the Exel suit, I came home in it (fortunately it was a short drive) and got my wife to get me out of it!
Limiting factor for us windsurfers is when the air is below freezing, you get ice formation on the sail and boom (learned the hard way a few years back, could not remove the frozen mast from the sail, drove home with the whole sail rigged up in the van sticking out the window).
The suit is no longer the limiting factor for cold water sailing :-)
It's more fun snowboarding in those conditions!
-
Agree.
I used to have the NP NPX 6/5/4.
This year for the Exel Infinity 6/5.
The Exel is way warmer, the hood fits better. Only drawback is I need assistance to undress. I can't get the suit down past the first elbow on my own!

There are extended threads both here and on extremecarving.com forum as to clothing treatments to resist EC wear & tear.
May I suggest you continue duck stance, mainly because once successful, I can just see you do switch duck heelside EC as the next move :-)
-
LOL
Love how he was carving the super wide one can't tip it over. Would be perfect for Ryan Knapton back side EC turn!
The hand leash would be good to train beginner who counter rotate!
-
I wonder if the rotated shoulders and esp hips helps you lock your butt higher up. Almost look like you're riding positive back foot angles with the contorsion (looks good though).
Have you tried (as a cheat) a bit more gliding pressure on the front arm to push your butt up even a bit higher (so you look even less angulated)?
