UPZ BOOT RIDERS POLL. HEAL LIFT OR NO HEAL LIFT?

Recommended Posts

I just played with my lift last weekend. I am at about 60/65 degrees and using TD3s, I have had for a couple years now 6 degrees toe lift on the front and 6 almost full heel lift on the back, slight inward canting. I have always felt a bit unnatural  and strained while in line or waiting on the side of the slope with this setup though. Carving was ok, but not super fluid. The plus side was it got me into a more aggressive position and provided more resistance in the boots/bindings which atleast in my mind equated to more immediate power transition to the board

I decided over the last couple trips to slowly get into a more natural position. I am now at the same front settings, but rear is now a 3 degree ring with slightly more inward cant (angle relative to the binding angle- but likely numericaly less ramp due to a 3 degree vs 6 ring). I also adjusted the spring system (dgss?) to be more upright on the front foot. This has made the whole setup much more comfortable and natural feeling. I feel a bit of slop though when entering heel side (may be partly me too) so it's not quite tuned in yet, but carves felt much more natural.
