  1. I put my favorite up for sale when I got home from the mountain and the new board is going to be the new favorite. We have the habit of keeping the old ones and when they haven't been ridden in years they are too old to sell and extremely outdated technologically. New plan is out with the previous and in with the new. We still have a Hot logical, Stat, and an old asym and a Nitro Scorpion.

  2. I have high arches also, getting in and out is a issue. I've recently switched to the softer red tongues and it's much easier. I don't know how it would work out with your riding though. I am fairly small and my boots are modified with Arnaud's spring system, touring sole toes, and the red tongue. They are really fantastic and I don't ever want to go back to boots that don't fit my feet. The UPZ's are the bomb when on, the difficulty getting in and out is worth it.

  3. Hi there,

    I'm interested on your thoughts on set up too! I'm most likely done for the season, spring yuck! but, I am going to be trying some different things when we start again. What do you feel held you back? Mine has been set in the Pureboarding style so the last couple of times up I have straightened my angles a bit. Next year my board will be narrower too.

  4. Yes, there might be something here for that "Question for Women" thread, but I doubt any of the women in question have even looked at this thread or the video. I will say that the kind of dense technical analysis going on here is exactly what most women aren't interested in. But most carving women want to improve - so there has to be some other way to foster that improvement...

  5. Danielle, what don't you like about toeside? Just the feeling of facing in to the hill, or does it just not feel as solid?

    It just isn't solid, always a bit of a slide. Tipping it up more produced more slippage instead of engaging. Heelside digs in real nice. I think the article nailed my problem down pretty good.

  6. Today I practiced the body position in the toeside drill article that was recommended, and added reaching downhill. My toeside felt much better, less sliding out from under me with sloppy tracks left behind. I noticed a big difference in trying to keep my rear hip more forward and over the board. At the mountain, I completely forgot about the hands behind the back drill, maybe next week. I really appreciate all the great advice and suggestions thanks.

  7. I would say my biggest problem is getting the edges up and dug in. I'm a very good "slarver" as KJL would say. I am better at heelside, I can dig in really good, but toeside not so much. At this point it is me and not the equipment.
