Jack M Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 A partial Boston crew and I hit Sunapee today. Great weather (a tad cold) and surprisingly good conditions. http://picasaweb.google.com/michaud.jack/Sunapee12507 pics may be blurry while loading, just wait for them.

kipstar Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 love that centre shot (between top and bottom) of you there Jack. Great technique and nice shot :-)))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 awesome shots a quick question if i may. i noticed in some of those shots the riders' shoulders were more squared up with the nose of the board, and in others they're more aligned with the angles of the bindings. i realized that movements are fluid, dynamic, and constantly adjusting as needed, but generally where does one face? i know EC says to face the binding angles, but i don't want to extreme carve (at least not in that sense). i want to ride more of what they call "bomber" style. Where does one face for that? The "Norm Part I" says to be aligned with binding angles, and the norm II says to be squared up with the nose, both hips and shoulders. So, where to face? thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks kipstar - I was a little rusty, day one of my season, and on a precision 158 no less. Bullwings - Basically as long as you are somewhere between your binding angles and the nose of the board (inclusive) you are fine. The Norm articles are designed to get newbies out of the mentality of sliding sideways, facing their toe edge and looking straight down the fall-line. I found in my years of instructing that in order to get a newbie to hit the target, I had to tell them to aim past the target. Telling them to face their binding angles was not enough, most of the time. They would think they were doing it, but weren't even close.

trailertrash Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Please try and post when the next session will be. I would like to get out and ride with you guys. Thanks. Glenn, watch the ride board, somebody usually posts in there when the next one is. Not sure but I think it is 2/15. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffV Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks kipstar - I was a little rusty, day one of my season, and on a precision 158 no less.[/ A little rusty???? yeah right Jack. Jack was carving like a hero, and he ruled the 158. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Glenn, here is the VT, NH, ME ride board, where we usually post these announcements: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=25 Thanks Geoff, right back at ya. It's fun to follow you down any trail. Woulda been more fun if you donned the full Vanson leathers though. Next time okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 cool, thanks for the tech info. i've been trying to keep both of my hands out in front of me where i can see them. it helps me keep my shoulders and hips lined up with my binding angles/nose or somewhere in between, or so i think.
