Ok so I went to winter park today(season pass) road on my free ride board, burton custom 164 with switch N type (backless)
I can carve on it I have my angles a little more forward than a standard free ride set up, im just guessing but its like 30deg front 20 rear give or take.
My Carve setup Hot 162 race something ( i painted it, it was white with i think some small flame design). Head stratos LTD and burton step ins. again guessing on the angles but front is like 45 rear couple degs less. (i started at like 50 frt and 35 rear but that was really uncomfortable)
I wasnt sure how to get the forward lean adjusted.
Ok so I didnt feel that balanced/comfortable. I was able to carve a little but im wondering if i should increase my angles. My knees felt a little twisted.
Also the boots felt pretty stiff.
I noticed alot of the time i was using my rear leg to initiate the turn, and i had to think about putting my weight on the front foot, where as in my freeride set up i do it automatically. It seems tougher to stay on top of the board, Like when i start to gain speed it seems a little sketchy. But the board was just tuned and waxed.
I think the board is fine, but i just need to get more comfotable with my set up.
On the boots i had the lean adjuster open, it didnt seem to make much diff. I do know that i can set the lean to a more bend knee position which i think would help.
Also would it help to narrow my stance?
