Tommy D Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I carve it up, even when it gets rough. Get low, big turns. Mmm... Oh-so satisfying holding carves over irregular terrain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleaman Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 If you practice riding your hard setup in the crud and bumps, when it's groomed again, everyone will think you are a HERO. Get low on the board and you will plow through the bumps, just leave enough leg left for a bit of absorption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I break out the Donek Incline with boots in the walk mode. I guess I'm not good enough to ride the skinny board in the bumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 In another thread, I mentionned how much I don't want to ride my soft setup anymore, so last Thursday evening I took out my 18.5 cm wide freecarve board in thoses conditions. Yes, it is quite hard to ride in this. I did not think to try with my boots in the walk mode though. I still managed to make a couple of good turns in ungroomed snow. But at the end of the evening, after only 3 hours of riding, my legs were empty and burning up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Be a versatile rider! Just because conditions are not perfect cordoroy shouldn't mean that you can't ride them. Take out the one board you are most comfortable on and have fun. It's truly amazing to rip on cordoroy and hard pack, but even better when the conditions are not quite that and you can still hang with the non-carving crowd.
