Guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 No. There would be tons of toe and heel drag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Dold Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I see one or two people each season riding like that, people that have just "picked up" their first alpine setup and are just skidding around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveBomber Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 whats the slackest any one rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_roboteye Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 whats the slackest any one rides? The slackest I ride is 63 / 60. But if my feet were any bigger it would be 70 / 67. It just depends how wide your board is and how big your feet are. Lay that phat APX of yours on the floor, loosen your binding screws and clip your boot in. Imagine where your big toe would be inside the boot and rotate the boot / binding assembly until that point is above your toeside edge. Most people ride with their back foot the same as the front, or anywhere between 1 and 5 degrees less. I've also seen a guy riding hardboots with his back foot angled more than his front foot was. Once you start to carve a little lower, you'll probably need to angle a tiny bit more forward. Or maybe you won't. It depends how you ride. If you don't like it, back it off a bit and find something that works for you. The good thing is that with those bindings, you can change your angles without having to actually lift the binding off the board. hope this helps. Dave R.

DiveBomber Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 well i just checked, my front is 69 and the rear is 62 or 63, board is 180 wide. its weird, in some ways i want them steeper, but that would be only in perfect conditions with really wide open terrain and no other people around. But other times i want them slacker when it gets choppy and i have to try not to get hit by other people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_roboteye Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 sorry, I thought it was your board in the picture. Dave R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin A. Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Good for you that you can afford a virus, Ursle. Just kidding, nice board . The lowest that I ride is about 57/55 on a 225 waisted board. My race boards are 67/63ish at 175-180 waist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_roboteye Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Nice virus. Wait a second, I think this is the only site you can say that and get away with it, right? Dave R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have a twin-tip with a 23cm waist that I ride with 45/40 angles when the snow cover is too patchy to risk beating up the edges on a board I really like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadx Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 My widest board is a 23 cm and I can manage down to 50 and 45 or so. Usually closer to 70 and 65 on 17.8 cm board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crucible Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 52 front, 48 rear for me, on a board like a Prior ATV. On my Oxygen's, it's more like 60- 50. It helps that i have small feet- men's size 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
