  14. Softboot Duck-Foot Heelside EC Help? lol.

    ... Another thought about heelside chatter: You probably apply a more equal pressure with both feets when you grab the board, less so when you try to extend your body EC style. With the back foot not pointing forward there is a good chance that you do not have the same pressure on both feets, that you are twisting the board witch could cause the chatter. Typical EC board have high torsional stifness.

    I also struggle to understand why someone must face a certain direction to get lower.  I do agree that you need some kind of rotational pressure pushing the nose sideways into the snow to start the trench, but where the rider is facing should be a minor effect.  

    Keep trying stuff Ryan!  I wonder if a larger sidecut radius would help?  It certainly makes it easier on a hardboot setup - less chance of chattering out.  

    Because when you flex your knees, with a "Duck Feet" stance without enough rotation, your ass will it stick out too much over your heel edge. It will hit the snow, remove the edge pressure then make you fall. You need to rotate your hips so when you flex your knees, your ass goes down over your rear boot You won't be able to rotate your hips enough in a Duck Feet stance.
