tahoecarver Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 ...my board likes to turn around and go backwards when I come to a complete stop? I'm thinking that my stance may be too far back and when I pressure the edge to stop, my there's too much pressure on my tail, but I'm not quite sure...

tahoecarver Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 ...yes, that's what I am talking about. When I stop, my back foot starts swinging around. But the big mystery is that it depends on the board. On my regular race boards, I stop fine, applying pressure equally on both feet. However, with my narrow boards (I have boards with a 10.5 cm, 13 cm, and 16 cm waist), I observe this spin-out phenomenon. I am think that my high stance angles (90/90 on my 10.5 cm) may be causing me to pressure my back foot more? I was hoping that moving my stance closer to the tail would take care of this...

trikerdad Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Go the other way. Going back will make the problem worse. Move your bindings forward until something changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 tele syndrome:biggthump happens on my high angle boards to when I get tired and start standing on the ball of the back foot. I fixed it by narrowing up the stance and a slight move forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
