AaronG Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I was just scrolling through the daily pics from our local resort, Snow Summit and came upon this hardbooter photo. Could this be Bullwings?? Or was someone else up there on hardboots? If this is Bullwings, look at the position of that downhill arm, don't let it trail behind you!! How was the new Prior 4WD?

Bullwings Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Nope, not me. But, I did see that guy up there today. He's a cool, guy, pretty new to hardbooting too. he just started up this season, or end of last season. He was riding a wcr. As for me, the 4wd was awesome. It's quite different from my ATV, much stiffer. It locks into the carves better, and not once did I have problems with edge chatter today. On the other hand though, I did have problems negotiating the lift at the bottom of chair 7 or is that 10. Not only did I turn my angles up to 60/55 (i could probably turn the front down 3 degrees or so in hindsight), but the tail on that 4wd didn't want to release the line it was cutting on (has a 0.5 base and 89 side). I had a pretty hard time making it skid, and actually found myself riding switch more often at the low speeds around the lift. Over all, though, it's a great board, something that I can really push on and develop with. It doesn't punish poor technique too much, but it's also not as forgiving as the ATV. By comparison, however, if i'm on the ball, it felt quite a bit more rewarding than my ATV. I'm glad i first started out on the ATV with hardboots, but am happy to be riding the 4wd now. My brother is enjoying the ATV now on my old soft setup and very currious, even considering hardboots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
