Do you need to have size 23.0 MP boots or 75 degree angles. Black Death Sure, small feet help, but also boots with a short sole print… angles will non the less be pretty high. I know some guys who ride the Cyborg (181cm w/14.1cm waist!) with big feet and they love it :D Once I have the Black Death tested I let you know how it went and what kinda angles I used.

Do you need to have size 23.0 MP boots or 75 degree angles. It shouldn't be that different from riding a Skwal with 12cm waist... I use 85-90 degrees. It all lateral pressure, and your weight will be close to the edge allowing loads of it at the right place. I often skid when riding alpine boards with lower angles, but that'll never happen with the Skwal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skwalleur Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I beg your pardon? I just personally find it easier to put more pressure on the edges when I'm riding Skwal, compared to my Burners... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often skid when riding alpine boards with lower angles, but that'll never happen with the Skwal. I am not planning on 85-90 degree angles… When I put my bindings on the Black Death it actually did not look to bad at all… more like 72 or so… will see... You skid riding your alpine board, but NEVER with a Skwal Hard time to believe. You sure that’s just the angle you’re ridin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skwalleur Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 If you never skid a skwal......How do you stop? It was a problem when I started out actually... I made these 180 degrees turns uphill. Of course you can skid it, but it's not a natural move. I guess I just got used to the high angles and my regular alpine boarding skill suffered from it.
