  11. Losing backside hold on icy conditions

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    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!

    Brian, thanks for making the drive up to the mountain today. Sounds like things are moving in the right direction. Keep up the good work

    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.

    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 🙂

  22. Help please to I.D. bindings and figure out how to adjust.

    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.
