Kick a ball with your right foot? = Natural If you are set up some other way, you probably just learnt that way, maybe it took you longer than you needed to, but ultimately it doesn't really matter.

Damn I was there last year, would he have raced in the monday go pro series? I met an aussie instructor, I really want to improve my carving technique

Hey all, Im an Aussie hardbooter staying in Breckenridge for the last 2 weeks of Jan, Do any of you guys board at Breck? is there any good hard boot instructors around the area? I wouldn't be too worried about travelling, I think I gotta take my daughter to Keystone on the MLK weekend, for some race (ski) training.

Pete If this doesn't work out, have you tried Time2Ride in Jindy? pretty sure they have hard boot stuff

I would also be interested in a JNR BX board, 140/5 range, anything longer would be to big, will probably end up with a Burton Protest, but would like to look at donek etc edit: will be in Beaver Creek mid Jan 2016, would love to grab it for then.

So what angles are you riding in soft boots? I just can't get mine right? I have one of Bruces boards as well

Haha good luck on this I already got mine, its beautiful!!

Michelle, From Australia, best of luck, appreciate the help over the years :) Goodonya

Wow thanks for the thoughtful replies, I wanted to trust my instincts about this, but you guys have confirmed what I was thinking. Yeah she is lucky, for a Sydney girl she got 58 odd days on the snow this year hehehe pity I have to go with her.....

Hey guys, My daughter is a race skier see pic below, and she has spent the better part of her life following me around on my board in hard boots. She wants to dabble in race boarding, and we are getting conflicting info from the board instructors over here in AUS about good stance. Now she is only 11, so can't really decide for herself yet, but she feels comfortable with a forward stance, but the board instructors are teaching this kinda square stance technique where you kind stick your bum right out on the heelside turn. To me it looks horrible?? So what do you all recommend for a young boarder, and also where do you get small (140cm) "race" boards, or at least boards without that goofy reverse camber??

Cardrona in early October a couple of years ago was pretty wonderful for us, We stayed at a resort in Wanaka and skied Cadrona / TrebleCone / Remarkables and Mt Dobson, all pretty good places had lots of fun! Met some hard booters at Treble Cone

I gotta get some pics of Bruces boards in the Aussie bush / Ski resort. We have had a ****e season here (Bruce would cry at the state of the ptex on my boards), but am heading down again this friday, will do my best. Plates have arrived and are fitted, they look pretty nice, but I can see (feel) why they would be better in carbon fibre. Pretty expensive getting into softies board/binding/plates/boots, now that I have the board/plate setup, I reckon I could have gone a smidge narrower, oh well next time :)

ordered the plates, waiting :) good snow this week, hopefully test drive next weekend! I ended up getting Bruce to make me a softie, love his boards!!
