  2. Canting and shin-bang!!!

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    *** I'm writing this up here to help anyone avoid the excrutiating pain i went through for a couple of seasons, and also to see if others have made the same experience. ***

    A while back, i had a thread going here talking about my hell's case of shin-bang. I tried about everything you could insert or smear on, endlessly tweaked my boots, and went to a (great BTW) bootfitter 3 times. Nothing really seemed to help.

    Then, when looking at my retired Burton asym one day, i had the idea of playing with canting. See, I read on the Swoard/ExtremeCarver site that they recommended an absolutely and religiously flat stance. So that's what i set on my board and forgot about it... but as soon as i put some canting back in (a bit of front tip, and a good amount of rear heal up and lateral) the damn shin-bang was gone. Simply gone. and i've never turned back.

    My style still is what it is, neither worse nor better, and i have much room for improving my snow schmoozing still... but man do i enjoy it more now!

    Hope this helps someone.

  13. Boot shop & fitter near Boston??

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Hi All,

    i reently moved to Boston and am looking for a good shop for hardboots and good boot fitter (ideally the same place)! Looking for some Stratos Pro, UPZ (would love to try) or Raichle... I'd really appraciate your help!

    a little bit of background: started boarding in 1991, never used soft boots. Used an old pair of UPS for ever until they fell apart and bought a pair of Stratos Pro online a couple of years ago. But they caused me the worst case of shin bang in the world!! i probably made the typical beginner's mistake: bought them too big! :smashfreaIf you'r curious, currently riding a Swoard, which is serving me well.

    Thanks in advance for any recommendations! I'd be happy to drive a couple of hours for a good shop & fitter!

    Cheers,
