Drew44x Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I've been snowboarding for 6 years. Always been a carving style rider. Just bought a Donek Phoenix 159 and a pair of Ride Insano boots. I've only ridden this setup a few times and I juat feel uncomfortable on it. I know this setup isn't super stiff in regards to alpine carving but just a lot stiffer than I'm used to. Any tips for trying to get used to a stiffer setup?

GeoffV Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Welcome Drew. For starters I would recommend reading through all the tech articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew44x Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Yeah I've read those articles and I've been really focusing on technique. Racing on the new setup this weekend so we will see how it goes. Still feels like the board is riding me rather than me riding it.

Mr.E Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Take a mental step back, and try to work on your fundementals when you go to the hill. If I'm trying a new board I'll ease into it. If you still have your old board, try riding it with the new bindings and boots until you feel comfortable. Once you feel like you have the new boots under control, remount your new deck and work in on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
