  5. Who rides the "Pureboarding" style

    Cool thing is we all or at least I thought for years that any movement in the binding was indicative of an incorrect set up. These guys come along with there boots slopping around, nail every turn and dont come out. :freak3:

     

    Because Jörg is one of a kind in the scenery, as a human and as a PB carver and teacher. I still need to take some lessons from him (I have said that for many years now, did I? Shame on me.).

    Hi Hans

    Surfing, skateboarding, ECing and Pureboarding have the same rotational foundation/roots (hips included).  The board, boot, binding set up for EC and PB have different goals and way of attacking the mountain, but the foundation of the technique is the same.

     

    Cheers

    Thanks Rob, for clearing this out. I always thought that the hips stay in the same place, just turning the shoulders and upper body.

  12. experience 360 swivel mount on helmet with action cam (Gopro)?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Planning on buying a GoPro Hero 4 black and a 360 Swivel mount for my snowboardhelmet.

     

    Anyone out here have some experience with it?

     

    Because I am laying down carves, I thought wouldn't that be dangerous with a swivel mount on the helmet?

     

    I don't go that fast in my lay down carves anyway.

     

    Planning on buying this one with a safety magnet mount: http://rhinocameragear.com/store/rhino-ultimate-swivel-mount-bundle

     

    Any opionions on using this or another solution would be appreciated.

     

    Cheers, Hans.

  15. BTS on rear boot only

    After speaking some racers from the worldcup last season, I got rid of both of them on my track 700: I ride my boots as stiff as posible on JJA raceboards: much more control. On my Virus freecarve boards I ride my Upz boots with its own springsystem (laydowns).

  20. Torn miniscus

    in Carving Central

    Posted · Edited by Hans

    Had this done 4 years ago, the meniscectomy. The first surgeons where not verry handy with it. Just 45 minutes of work on both the inside and outside meniscus(both were torn in my right knee) and they left a torn in the inside so I had to get back after 2 months because I couldnt stretch my knee enough. They found another torn in my inside meniscus of course. I got a worse fysio so ended after 6 months of hard training with the right fysio. The last fysiotherapist managed to stretch my knee negative within 4 months of therapy. Despite of not stretching my knee I trained so much that I stood on my board after 7 weeks of training after my second surgery (kept a thick knee but you must leave something for snowboarding, it isn't thick anymore if I don't snowboard with too much rotation technique). And I am not that young. So yes here in the Netherlands, that type of surgery is the way to go. I advice you to go to a surgeon which does do many of these surgeons. Just ask him how many of those does he do in a month. After a couple of days just start training, light many repetition of movement and stretch training is important to get the knee mobile and stretching as fast as possible and find yourselve a good fysiotherapist with experience with this type of injury healing. You will be up and running in no time if she is a sport. Important is to get the muscles above the knee as strong as possible. 'Dry' biking and in the end squats (without weight in the beginning) are the way to go. But the first thing is that the knee can stretch properly! Good luck!

  21. 2010 Upz Rc10

    Dear Hans

    Am heading to Switzerland for the first time to Zermatt in May (odd time I know) and based on your and Corey's comments will be seriously looking at the UPZ at a shop that sell them with thermo liners (sportsoutlet).

    Hoping to get back to the point I had with my raichle ski boots (buckle once per day, and only unbuckle at lunch and end of day). The deluxe 700s are a combination of heel-lift, shin bang (stripped all the skin off one leg), crushed toes and freezing feet.....they flex well but my feet just seem not so compatible with them (narrow heel, high arch, wide forefoot) so hoping the UPZ can solve all of these.....

    You can solve all your fitting/feet problems with a customized foamliner and custom footbeds. Much cheaper as a whole new boot. I ride the Deeluxe Track 700 and UPZ RC10 both with custom foamed liners and I swear by those liners (Deeluxe - Strolz liner, UPZ - Bootdoc liner). Yes the new UPZ's have a better fitted standard liner with custom inserts for the heelfit. The boot is also wider in the front as a Deeluxe. I too have a high arch, and I have a little problem in the beginning of the day to close my boots with the arch buckle. I got the tip of my austria appartment rentlord to let the buckles as loose as they could be for the first downhill slope to give my feet the chance to have some blood: it helped a lot. No cramp in the feet and I could blast the whole day.

  25. Trouble with Heelside

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    If you hang on the racestyle type of riding you don't need any kind of rotation. If you look before 0.38 you start right to bend your knees, at 0.38 and just before you start bending your upperbody instead of bending your knees more. Result: your body is not in the center of gravity, not above your backside edge = washing out of your heelside. Just bend your knees more, keep your upperbody upright. Just move up and down by bending your knees, not by bending your upperbody.
