Fastskiguy Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Beginning carver here, long time ski carver, 3rd day on my snowboard stuff. Hey man, we had cold temps, good snow, and sun here in the midwest, amazing! Managed tighter arcs than I have ever made on skis....and I've been at that ski carving thing for awhile now. It was grrrreat! Anyway, I was playing around with the adjustable forward lean on my boots today and ended up liking to run the front foot pretty straight and the rear food fairly flexed. I have some flat bindings, no cants or anything. But it felt pretty excellent like that and I was able to ride with much less muscular effort...I'm only moderately sore now, not completely wrecked like last week. My boots have a #1 as the most flexed and a #5 as the least flexed and I ran a 2 in the back and a 4 or 5 up front (still not sure which I liked better). Typical? Or does this mean I need an asym board<-kidding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 completely normal. almost the standard I believe. if you ever end up with bindings with cant/lift you can try some heel lift on the back, and toe lift on the front, or any variation of cant/lift combos. get thee some TD2s! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastskiguy Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 get thee some TD2s!;) Well I've got upgraditis already and have sure thought about it. Are the step-in bindings just as good as the "non-step-ins"? As far as performance and durability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 easily just as good, although there might be less chance for failure as bails can bend do some searching...plenty of info on standard vs stepin. I ride stepin and will never go back, if only because of the convenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
