Guest vaguelyevilguy Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I'm in need of a new board (I've got a Salomon 350 freeride board right now), and Donek's look like nice boards at good prices: specifically the incline and the axis. I have softboots and Flow Freeride bindings. I do 0 freestyle- pretty much just carving (hardpack and moguls) and powder. I ride angles above 30, in general- I've done 45/35 before. My question: will I be able to handle the Axis with soft boots? Is it worth the extra $ ($550 compared to $360)? One other question: Has anyone tried modding flows to add highback wings? It seems like it would work, but I'm not much for mechanical engineering. And one more: Will risers significantly improve my carving performance?

Flash Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 GO with the Incline. I ride an older Incline (new one on order) with Catek Freerides and stiff boots. The Incline is a bit more versatile than the Axis - bumps and other stuff will be more fun and you will still be able to lay them out. Regarding the risers, the Cateks eliminate the need for risers, but I used to use Volkl Power Plates before I got the Cateks. They were great - definately a plus for carving in softies. Good luck.
