Comapedrosa Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 *** I'm writing this up here to help anyone avoid the excrutiating pain i went through for a couple of seasons, and also to see if others have made the same experience. *** A while back, i had a thread going here talking about my hell's case of shin-bang. I tried about everything you could insert or smear on, endlessly tweaked my boots, and went to a (great BTW) bootfitter 3 times. Nothing really seemed to help. Then, when looking at my retired Burton asym one day, i had the idea of playing with canting. See, I read on the Swoard/ExtremeCarver site that they recommended an absolutely and religiously flat stance. So that's what i set on my board and forgot about it... but as soon as i put some canting back in (a bit of front tip, and a good amount of rear heal up and lateral) the damn shin-bang was gone. Simply gone. and i've never turned back. My style still is what it is, neither worse nor better, and i have much room for improving my snow schmoozing still... but man do i enjoy it more now! Hope this helps someone. CP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgassizSkidder Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Canting is huge. I suffered for two seasons with crazy foot pain that I just couldn't figure out. A couple of runs with BlueB and some fiddling with the canting and pain gone. Better than Vodka and no hangover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
