@hutch If you’re still looking for the plates

I use toe lift and cant for both feet and heel lift on my back foot Ivan from I-carve told me this belongs to past, old school. Now most if not all riders ride flat, especially when using plate systems like Allflex. I’ve been using cant and toe lift from 4years ago with I started hardbooting and still now. I feel like I’m missing out now and I need your opinions

Looking for used SL snowboard with regular allflex inserts

For the new board, I put Base Prep Wax scape, brush, and put glide wax depending on the temp

Most of the racing boards limit their binding angles around 58~45 do you feel more comfortable with those angles? I’ve never had a higher angle than 55

I ordered the new binding screws from Donek snwoboard and changed it And I realized that I was twisting my my rear foot towards to 45 degree on my toe turns I guess my foot wants to be on 45 degreeso I changed my binding angle to 50/45 Problem solved Thank you everyone Happy new year Pew

East(ice) coast carver and entry racer here. We have 95% man made snow, mixed with icy, slushy, hardpacked, and sticky snow in uneven slopes. My isolation plate(apex v2) is doing great job. Not just for the edge grip but it is the best medical device for my knees.

Hi I’m using f2 race titan binding 53/48 but my rear binding angle is changing while I’m riding sometimes. After few runs when I check my binding bc I feel something is wrong my rear binding angle has been changed to 45 or lower even though I mounted it hard Is there a problem with the binding or angle or my riding?

I bought Mountain Slope but it didn’t fit well on F2 bindings

I just got apex v2 plate 4x4 I don’t have any experience with plates. I need some help to figure out how to put plate on my board I tried to search installation guide or other information but all the links were broken or not exist anymore

Here's a Korean soft boot carver I have 3 sets of snowboard and bindings for snowboarding 1. Fun, freestyle Never Summer proto synthesis 158 / soft flex bindings / medium flex boots Stance 55cm 16/-9 I use it for rails, jump, ground tricks, switch carving Down Unweighted sliding turns on stiff slops(this is the best) 2. Softboots carving Never Summer east 161 / stiff flex bindings / stiff flex boots Stance 52cm 39/24 For Euro carve and racing 3. Hardboots racing F2 speedster WC SL 163/ F2 titan race/ UPZ rcr / stance 49cm 55/50 Racing and carving I changed my setup from 1 to 2 bc I enjoyed carving than other stuff. I was going to get a stiffer board and stiffer boots and I realized my setup will end up with hardboot snowboard. -For my opinion softboot snowboarding is a figure skating. That will allow you to jump, spin, and have fun -Hardboot snowboarding is speed skating (SL for short track) It's for speed, you can have the maximum speed You might jump and spin with speed skating skates You might race for the short track and speed skating with figure skating skates Even for car racing, you might want to race in a track with a monster trucks you might want to jump and drift with F1 machine . But we don't bc there is different set up for different purpose to maximize the benefit We can't ban hardboots in racing bc those for racing. I've been racing with my softboots and it was still fun. Try(go) hardboots!, I can carve better on softboots after I started hardboot snowboarding. Not beacuse, hardboot snowboarding is better it's different and less forgiving. I learned a lot from different skills for hardboot snowboarding.

My 6th and 7th day went so well I went to boot fitter before snowboarding and now I can press 2times harder than beforE The snow was so forgiving I tried a lots of things I found my own BBP I think I was not bending my rear knee much before. I can make sharp turns and slowdown now. I really appreciate to people who l told me to press my front foot heel when I make heel turn. I got used to the stiffness of my board and boots. Now I feel like I’m controlling my board not my board controls me I exaggerated my movement at the point I thought I was flapping my wings but this allowed me to have a better rebound, edge change, and press. I was to excited and I got too much rebound and I had an unexpected jumps between turns. I had a big crash on my night snowboarding. A snowboarder hit my back right after I changed my edge. I was fast but he was faster. I end up face landed and I was not able to breathe for 20sec. My helmet saved my life. Even though I have a SL snowboard I have to make a big a big curve on stiffer slopes but most of the slopes in East are narrow so I have to use the whole width. I usually let people pass me when they are faster than me. But most of people don’t make any turns and just go straight down the fall line (they are too fast). I wish there is no passing rule for some slopes My whole body is in pain so I will skip next week snowboarding(I also have finals) I will try Intuition SBC next week thanks to @Eboot I hoop this liners can help my heel lift problem

I am 179cm. Do you think 49cm is too narrow? Recommended stance of the board was 50cm How do you think about my binding angles?

I really appreciate for tips!! I didn’t know this many people will help me I wish I can ride with other hardboot snowboarder or get lessons. But I live in GA and I go snowboarding in Tennessee and North Carolina. I’m the only one who ride a alpine snowboard(people ask me about my snowboard at least 15times a day). My goal is participating in NASTAR racing in January with my hardboots not softboots I did better on my 5th day. I figured out how to bend my rear knee to put my weight evenly. I practiced making one extended turn(J turn, uphill). And I was able to slow down. But still having a rotation issue with my heel turn. I will change my binding angles to 55 50 next time to see if it can help my heel turn. When you turn do you press towards the snow, edge, or board? I didn’t change the cant setting for my Upz boots should I change it? I had to press waaaaaay too much to make a sharper turn. Is this normal? I tightened my boot as tight as I can and my feet are still numb. I went to my local skishop to get my boot fitted but they said they can’t do it bc they don’t have knowledge about it. But they said they can heat mold Intuition liners if I bring it. Which Intuition liners will be fit for me? Prowarp and SBS looks good

Our ski resort have a narrow slope sometimes I feel like I will hit the wall what is your opinion about slipping little bit before turning
