Clearly a natural talent, nothing to do with the coach! That’s really good - he looks very comfortable in that setup!

What he said!!

Welcome. Just in case you missed this - if your foot shape is correct these seem to be your size:

good buddy - there to take the pics!!

Very sad and sorry to hear - good luck with your sales.

If I can make the weight allowance work I can bring a race board from the mid 90s.

Thanx for the advice Bob Hope it’s not too late to correct some of the early damage

EXACTLY what I was going to say.

Best session for a long time. All my troubles seemed so far away. could it have been: new Beckmann footbed change to outward cant on front foot locked heels less forward aggression on backside initiation initiating backside turn with front toes lower in the knees and more angulation Turning to look at my next turn 8” of REAL snow and hero cord first outing on the new Contra or maybe all of the above? Love the Contra!

It looks awesome on the pic - would love to see it in the real

Is that a standard black top with light reflection in the pic or did you add some color to it?

Mmmmmh Corey: 2 misunderstandings in as many days, MCC anticipation is starting to get to you, isn’t it?

@Gripthank you. I saw one hard booter weave past on a coffee break but did not see you in the trail All my troubles in one statement

Thank you for your time and patience Erik, your knowledge and ability to translate analysis into proposed solutions is awesome. So much insight, help and support on this forum: any progress I am making is in large part to the people here who care enough to share. Sugarloaf was eye opening! My first 2 icy runs brought up all my fear demons … and this was not on a steep trail! Respect to all you hard charging riders of the steeps. For those that may be interested, Erik (@Beckmann AG) offers an excellent service related to his footbed product.

In reality: ideal conflicts with reality.

so sorry to hear - hope you are release quickly!

I am meeting @Beckmann AG tomorrow (Tuesday 1/4) may have some time to ride after footbed fitting if any one is around?

Looking good! On your front side turn you have a tendency to dip your right shoulder to the snow (maybe because you are reaching for the snow with your right hand) and your left hand is over rotating forward. A great exercise to overcome this is to have your left hand reach for and hold hold the edge of your board at the same time - also keeping your shoulders parallel to the snow. This will leave your right hand further from the snow initially - this is ok. It’s clear from the video that you are starting to feel relaxed in your turns. Keep it up

No - laces plus booster strap

Without a close up it's hard to see in the pics but the last pic definitely identifies threading on the metal rods. It also seem like there might be a "nut" like fitting on the rods just behind the front piece. I would guess that: - either the nut can turn, moving the front and heel relative to each other, or - you will need to remove the 4 screws holding the rods down, remove the rods and adjust them manually. A close up of a binding would be helpful.

What time will you be on the mountain till? I will be there with my daughter every Wednesday evening from about 5.

Older man standing next to me: Wow there are 2 of you mono-skiers here today - you must be a club. Earlier I had seen a hard booter riding with ski poles.

Very first lesson! Apparently I’m a natural Working together we have turned it into a 2 arm flap.
