The back knee being driven into the front knee was another characteristic of the time. Burton bindings then included a cant plate, I used to run cant on the back foot. These days most folks use toe or heel lift, cant is uncommon. 

There is still some guys that do that on world cup level, i.e. benny karl

I saw him in the lift line at Sun Peaks in 2010. The Austrian team was getting some training time in before the Vancouver Olympics. At that time he was running some old Burton Physics that had been modified with huge lift. Don’t recall cant but it may well have been thrown in there. They were very high off the board. Conditions were soft and those guys were leaving giant trenches wherever they rode.

Just wanted to show off some footage from today. Amazing what a big difference reducing fwd lean on my rear boot made. It was a good day with @Odd Job

@Colozeus Your riding has improved a lot since we rode together last season (I think, might have been the year before). Keep it up. You could edit all your clips into one youtube video to make them easier to watch.  Just my worthless two cents.

Thanks! Yeah i was thinking about doing that, lol. I don't have any experience with video editing software but i'll give that a go for the next set of videos from tomorrow. I think i might be able to do it in youtube itself.

lol, this guy dresses almost exactly like me. Same color boots, pants, jacket and helmet. 

The vevet videos are always awesome. I don't care if they are rubbing all sorts of body parts on the snow, they look so freaking cool and they are definitely having fun.
