Howe et al varied the SCR by the cosine of the angle and I really don’t think that is correct. If you consider the boundary condition of 90 degrees, ...
Man, some of these threads drift a lot. There was a lot of good sidecut discussion in the prototype thread. The above physics is a static model th...
I like the Rome pivot mount that allows me to lower the ankle strap on the rear binding. That's on all-mountain/pow boards though, their base isn't t...
True, but a longer effective edge is added security and more forgiving of bad technique/laziness. At 200lbs I'd certainly want to be over 1200mm on ...
If your centre of mass is between your feet, the top-down loading should theoretically be better with the appropriate canting. But for example, I fin...
The boots and the ankle strap can certainly limit it... I'm not sure how much? By stretching it out it really decreases or even eliminates any tendon...
Just to be the contrarian… I hate canting. The over pronation just causes me problems. I’ll never buy another binding with canting unless they off...
I use this for dorsiflexion: And also stretch hamstrings, quads, lower back and neck. After a couple whiplashes you don’t forget the neck.
Got to a pedorthist, they usually have a good selection and you can find one that fits your foot. I've used Kneed2ski, and if there's enough room (t...
Surfing is a good analogy, where powder is generally more back-foot driven like that. Yesterday I was in some heavier spring pow, maybe 10cm deep, ...
I'm still mulling this over... In my mind, carving was (predominantly) defined by the edge. If that's largely just the initiation, what is carving?...
This discussion has been very thought-provoking. My Stranda Shorty can turn surprisingly tight, and I had thought that was largely due to the longer ...
Lars had a great video where he pointed out that the waist of his board wasn't even making contact: In the case of the Freecarver, the radius open...
@wild-cherry My 6000 is just the 154 with a 6.5m sidecut, which does open up at the tips and that calculator puts it at 6.79. That calculator is in...
Totally different. It's stiffer and wants to do slightly larger turns and it's WAY more planted at speed. It's also a 164 vs 154.
