Kimo Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 "frontside/backside" motion Jack, what the hell is "frontside/backside"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckmann AG Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 SG, Just could not get any leverage. One part of riding steeper angles is coming to terms with the fact that you are using the boot and binding on their collective weak axis, thus, you trade leverage for (presumed) finesse. Board was practically unridable for me. Perhaps you were looking for something that was not there to begin with. Try again (on easy terrain), but this time, instead of trying to 'tell' the board what to do (based on past experience), 'listen' for what it asks of you. I ride 60f, 63r, 26mp, 180ww, ~45.5c-c. Would not care to go steeper. _______ Not terribly relevant, but... as master yoda has said fear is the mind killer I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. (Bene Gesserit litany, Dune.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan Guy Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 tons of great advice in this thread for me to experiment with. I especially like the feedback to setup a stance/angle/cant/lift combination that feels decent on the carpet and also the idea of gradually turning the angles higher by 2 degrees each time instead of my attempt to go 12 degrees all at once. The coolest thing for me with this carving thing is having a new sport to do at age 46 that is challenging but not dangerous. Did the dangerous stuff in my youth. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Don't fool yourself. Carving can be dangerous. Welcome aboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...I stay on blue runs, try and avoid crowds, and don't go too fast...yet :D I used to kayak over 30 foot waterfalls every week and paddle gnarly rivers with lots of rocks.

terekhov Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 65-60 when waist <20cm, 55-48 when wider. 28mondo boots. all needed leverage for moguls and icy steeps on 18cm waisted pogo overdose with 65-60 angles. so - not the angle problem, imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
