[Binding Angles for 18 cm wide board - Help/Suggestions]

Thank you everyone! I’m thinking I should give it a go and stick with the board as designed. I was afraid to go custom on something that has been tested and so many enjoy.

[Binding Angles for 18 cm wide board - Help/Suggestions]

Hello All, 

I'm looking at an 18cm wide board and am concerned about binding angles and boot out. 

I currently ride two 19.5 cm wide boards with 27M boots (Deeluxe Track 325) with 60 and 65-degree angles. Will I fit on an 18cm wide board? If possible, I'd like not to go custom, and I'm open to going steeper, but I'm not sure what becomes too extreme. 

Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful! I dig it here, great group. 

Best,

_Mike

Thank you all for the replies! I've never heard of GMB and will dig in for sure. One other link I've found in the process is for Mobility Duo. I was targeted in Instagram and clicked through. Seems promising.

Thanks again,

Hello All, 

Do you have any recommendations for bodyweight (low impact) training for strength and mobility for an aging snowboarder? I finished this season sore and would like to start next season strong(er). 

I hope all is well out there!

Best,

_Mike

Today I tried less lean on the front foot and more lean in the rear - worked wonders for me!  Very happy with the results - wish I'd tried this before.  

I know, right!!! Glad the vid helped you too.

I just took delivery on my new stick. A 2023 Donek Voyager with Secret Construction. The bummer is it went from 25F to 45F over the past day and a half with rain next week. Either way the board’s fit and finish are amazing. I can’t wait to give it a go. Thanks @Donek!

The board on the left is what hooked me. A 2005 FCII.

It can be a bit stringy., but it's stronger than PLA and a better low temp performer than ABS.  It claims to be as easy to print as PLA, but I think it's somewhere between PLA and ABS. I was surprised by the warping as I had not seen any information on that being a problem.

@DonekI realize this post is old, but if you are having trouble printing with PETG or Nylon try putting it in a food dehydrator for a few hours before printing. All filaments will soak up moisture and this will affect your print quality. Nylon is the worst. It does wonders for PLA as well. I usually cook mine for 6 hours and it's day and night.

@hknzI know right!

@John GilmourThanks for your writeup! I I felt everything you wrote once I made the changes to my boots.

@mtraczlake sure you check out the rest of his Quick Tip videos.

@SunSurferI have, and they have been a huge help! Thank you for the reminder to dig back into them. BTW - I have a Donek Voyager with Secret construction in their build queue. My last build was in 2005, I can't wait to see what they are up to these days!!!

 

And I really dig the responses to this thread! I'm glad it pulled a string and we are benefitting from a view into everyone's setups!

I wish I watched this video when it came out. I played around and dialed in my forward lean adjustment last night. Game changer!
