Riding with 60+ angles?

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.

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. :nono:

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. :)
