Slim Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I rode the TD 2 today for the first time after riding Burton race plates for a buncha years. In addition to a more positive connection to the board (w/o the movement of the boot/binding characteristic of Burton), I felt it took more force to tilt and keep the board on edge. My question is: I can see that a binding that sits taller will provide additional leverage to tilt the board on edge (longer moment arm on the lever--similar to using a lifter plate on a ski binding). Does the additional height of the TD 2 also increase the leverage of the external forces (the ones that pull your board flat through the turn)? Does the lever work both ways? It sure feels that way. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the benefits and disadvantages of close to the board vs. elevated bindings. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I asked this same question once only got one response though. when I first got my TD2s I didnt like the feeling of being above the board. Havent given it a second thought in quite some time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
