Trenched Canted Riser Install Instructions

Hi there, I just purchased these. One question I would have, is : could this be beneficial o powder days? My stance for pow days is 22,5 and angles are +9 and + 27. Also, would you recommend these for Banked Slaloms and super uneven terrain? Cheers

Just picked up a set! Struggling with IT band pain on the back leg where it attaches at the knee while riding posi/posi on my C4, and I don't think my styrofoam pad system (toe on the front, heel on the back) is helping all that much. Could also just be I need to stretch more and strengthen my glutes since I can only get out on the weekends.

I'm not totally sure to be perfectly honest...  I haven't tried them in real powder yet.  They feel good to me for the bits of off piste I have done but I'm using the Butterfly Wing BX Risers on my all mountain boards.  Mostly because I like the way they stiffen up the production boards.

It's an excellent question.  Hopefully you and other riders will write your feedback here and I'll have an answer when we all come to a consensus!

Hi All...  

So I just got my first properly wide carving-oriented snowboard (Kindred Tsitika 168 x 30cm). I also have all new boots and Flow carbon bindings, and Trenched canted risers. 

I started snowboarding in 1987, but took a 10+ year hiatus. I'm only getting back into snowboarding because I've always wanted to carve like James but wide boards didn't exist for my size 14 feets.

My question is whether I just go for it with the Canted Risers on my first run on the new board?  Or should I try it without the risers to get used to the new wide board?  

I don't get many days on the mountain, and I'm not as athletic and spry as I used to be. My goal is to learn carving on the limited runs I get each day before family or lack of conditioning ends my day.

How significant is the change in technique with the Canted Risers? Does it feel natural? Or am I more likely to wipe out, dig a rail, etc...? 

Will my decades of snowboarding reflexes kick in to take immediate advantage of the cant and rise?

My prior board is a 168 x 27cm.  

Thanks!

@dicynodont I have the canted risers on my Standa Pipeliner 2.0 (275 x 1530mm). It a big board Mae for surf-style carving. I have size 12US and ride F39/R30. No boot out issues and the canted risers were pretty much transparent right away and allow me just a bit more ease with my hip turn on heelside - also allows me to narrow up my stance by 1/2”. 

throw them on and have fun making big turns😎

Oh yeah, put them on right away.  You're gonna need the clearance for sure with those flippers, and the stance is very comfortable.  Enjoy!
