carve4life Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 i tried to search for this but couldn't find what i wanted. i have a wide demo board(salomon burner), i want to try out with some td2s and burton ice boots. but i was wondering one: how many of you use hard boots on powder boards and two: what angles you ride?

gdboytyler Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I use Raichle SB413's (M24) with TD2's on my O-Sin 4807 168cm with 25deg front/20 deg back. I've got a little bit of boot overhang. But I find the shallow boot angles make it MUCH easier to get in and out the bindings when I hit a flat spot and get stuck in the powder.

Baka Dasai Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I use 40f/20r with hard boots on a powder board. That's a bigger difference between front and rear than most people like, but it seems to work for me (I'm naturally splay-legged). SB 423 in "powder" mode, and I sometimes leave the top buckle undone as well. It works well, but I'd probably prefer it a bit softer in the forward-flex as it can be a little twitchy on the hardpack when doing toesides (although soft boards are forgiving, and you get used to the twitchiness quite quickly).

Guest Zach Davis Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I ran some wide boards last year... typically around a 25 cm waist. I would just mount my bindings so that the toes and heels of my boots were right over the edges... then I'd take the rear foot back 7 degrees from the front foot. Worked fine for me... I did find myself wanting a skinnier board. I'd like to see a swallowtail with a 24 cm waist. Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shred Gruumer Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I have kept my higher angles on my wider boards.. My MADD BX 168 im at 60/55 but I think a lot has to do with its overall stiffness and torsional rigitity.. so it can handle the stress over the width of the board.. I'm Also setting up My Magna Traction the same way.. its a comfy thing for me.. any less and it just feels wierd.. I ride everything with plates.. tried softies and it just kills my ankles..can't get any leverage plus I don't want to have to trow my ass back and forth to ride a board at low angles..its really not sexy!! Next board I want to try is the Dreamraider 170!! or this new MADD proto 177 ABX im hearing about.. Right said Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
