Guest theharb Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 just recieved boots, was wondering with the forward lean positioning should i have them both the same, much lean or not much for some clean carves?, i have ordered the 5 position lean from the bomber store but until then....

Hans Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 It's all personal preference. If you dial up the upper screw/nut you can stand more upright, for the tension of the springsystem you have also dial up the bottomscrew/nut. For more info search the forum of www.swoard.com. for Raichle or Spring and you will find lots of topics about this subject. For example:http://www.carver.cc/galleries/photo.php?photo=130&exhibition=10&u=137|8|... or http://www.extremecarving.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=728&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=spring I prefer the spring above the 5-lockthing. Just modify the existing springsystem and ready you are. Greets, Hans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdea Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 because its very personal it depends on stance width angles snow board YOUR NEEDS/preference generaly I ride with more lean in the back boot in softer snow I relax both boots a good bit and loosen the springs I ride with less lean at the end of the day in choppy snow and when I am getting tired early in the morning I ride with lots of lean when I really want to carve aggresively toe/heel lift is a big factor wide stance I like to crank the rear boot softer freecarve boards relaxed to some degree icey snow I need to get up on the nose pow I free flex my boots or use softies with the front FLAD relaxed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 I agree with you Bob. As I see your quiver, I almost only see small(race-)carveboards. I only ride boards with a min. width of 22 cm. I just rode all my bindings flat nowadays. I like this the most. I am not going in all that fuss to change the settings of my boots/bindings all the time. I only ride my SWOARD in hardpacked or icy conditions. Next season I am gonna ride my new Strolz Raceplates without any suspension at all. So again a little fuss less. Otherwise I take my Volant for agressive slalom, or my Pogo for sloppy or fresh snow conditions (soft boots). I ride my AF700 hardboots as upright as I can, with a soft spring. I like the flex of my boots. So if I want the boots pushing forward or want to bent my knees, I don't have to use much strength. Is a way of not getting tired and still can ride hard or on rails.
