I know nothing about them as I hadn't heard of them till now. https://avel.co.kr Ink One thing was solidified in my mind with this video. There's some seriously fantastic snow in Korea. Every freaking video is showing seriously plush snow. Also that the Czech Republic makes boards for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack M Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 19 hours ago, west carven said: hiro … an energetic rider Just my opinion... he's going to an awful lot of effort just to be able to claim that he's a softbooter in name only. Riser plates, groomers-only board, stiff bindings, forward angles, surely the stiffest "softboots" he could find and then modified... and he is still getting a lot of chatter/oscillation on perfect groom. I'm not convinced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.E Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 I'm not convinced I'll be ditching my gear for softies anytime soon, but I'm certainly convinced he's a heck of a rider and worth watching. Seems to be having a good time, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottishsurfer Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Little bit off topic but came across a vid of Rama riding an alpine set up not bad going for someone who's apparently only ridden it around a week total https://www.instagram.com/reel/CbBQoDWsECb/ Also back in topic looks like flux are licensing Burton step on tech https://www.instagram.com/reel/Caf6BsxPjwj/ Edited March 12, 2022 by scottishsurfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopestar Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) 9 hours ago, Pat Donnelly said: Close call around 5:50 I watched this last night. Ryan is an anomaly of a rider but watching the guys/girls that were in the video was somewhat painful to watch. I think the wide/duck stance makes the turns look really weird. The lack of commitment to a directional stance really hurts the style points... I hate what CASI and PSIA teach... it's shameful... My wife got beat to death on a womens forum regarding Posi-Posi stance and how it helped her progress. They raked her over the coals for even suggesting it.

Neil Gendzwill Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Don’t think a directional stance would work for Ryan and what he likes to do. Most snowboarders think our style is ugly so there you go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try reading some of the comments on /r/snowboarding if alpine riding is posted. Like your chairlift guys, some people appreciate it but there's a lot of negativity. I happen to agree with you on the aesthetics but it's definitely subjective. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
