boots, bindings, plate? board?
I'm a ski racer now addicted to getting good at alpine boardin and kind of bought stuff in a hurry to be able to get out on the slopes and wanted to ask the help of the equipment gurus this year to see if its actually suited to me.
i ride a 05 f2 speedster rs of the 173 variety
cateks with some toe lift in the front and lots of heel lift and inward canting on the back foot
i use my soft/comfy ski boots which are the dynafit titans
I'm 5'10" and a hulking 220lbs at the moment
my first few times out i seem to be having trouble with washing out the heel side turn. i initiate it well getting forward and starting the arc but the best way I've found to keep an edge it feels like I'm sitting on the toilet and i don't feel the power and control i have on the toe side turn.
what are the hips suppose to do during the heel side turn?
should i be trying a shorter board with a tighter side cut?
boots just wrong?
bindings too stiff?
any help would be appreciated
