it takes me like 10 days to get to about 80% of where I was the season before, but it definitely looks like you’re progressing. You’re getting your h...
What’s your boot size? And you want another twin?
So I gave up on the uncomfortable Insano for now and went back to my Vans Verse. I swapped the Flux CV LTD for Rome Cleavers (with Bataleon Infinity ...
I actually bought the Mercury for an all-mountain board, but with my 260's the medium had to be adjusted forward and it put the footbed over the edge ...
Reading over this again... try bringing your rear hand toward your front knee thoughout the heelside turn (this is one of Cherry's drills). That rota...

I was curious… and I’m actually up to 18cm now. (If your wall has a baseboard, don’t forget to add that thickness)
Here's a pic of Lars from Justaride... Imagine what happens when he needs to absorb a bump. If you're at the limit of your dorsiflexion, you jus...

Have you measured your dorsiflexion with the knee to wall test? A lot of people won't get their foot 6cm out from the wall before their heel lift...

Yeah I posted the CASI stuff as another perspective, and while there’s some good stuff in there, I absolutely agree with James that once you’re beyond...
I'll also add that bringing my rear knee forward (like Craig Kelly) really helps me open the hips on the heel side. Putting that medial pressure on y...
