Silver Bullet Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Here are a few shots of my last day at Solitude. Diamond lane got a bit bumpy but the day was fantastic. I've been hardbooting for 1.5 seasons and loving it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwmaron Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 about the snow, the conditions, but mostly about your riding style!!!! I wanna be like YOU when I grow up! BTW - what model of F2 are you riding? Maybe if I bought one of those I could ride like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bullet Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 That is last year's F2 Speedster 183. It is a great board. As for the riding style, i spent quiet a bit of time watching the EC videos on the web, then spent a little time trying to keep up Dave, Bordy and others at the WTC. Fin gave me the tip of raising the front toe and it's all history. I've been boarding since 1982. I was twelve, but only recently got set up with hardbooting gear. I've got about 50 days in on hard boots. Here is another sequence from earlier in the season at PCMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bullet Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 My front leg used to burn like the dickens until the toe tip. It also keeps me centered on the board. On my shorter boards I ride 6deg front no cant 3deg rear no cant and the speedster is set up with 6 deg front 0 rear. I've also widned out th estance to 21.5 inches on that board. I find I'm more stable that way. I'd like to try a wider board some time. My feet are 29.5 and I boot out if I'm not running angles that are at least 68 degrees. Does anyone have suggestions for a wider board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleb Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm gonna give that toe trick a try. The speedster is my fave board for now. Great board. If you can find it cheap, grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Nice work! Good to see the smile. That is the best piece of gear to ride with!!!! UT the other other carving mecca.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Does anyone have suggestions for a wider board? Call US next year we have demos as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 A little lower and I think you will have it. Don't you just hate when your arm pit seam starts to fray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
