On the rebound… At 73kg I didn’t think the soft proto without the EGS had much at all. On the medium with EGS I could feel it was there, but I real...

@skoonk maybe that works with steeper binding angles and more hip rotation?

Yeah that’s certainly limiting. Under 1200 can feel pretty sketchy to me at 180lbs. I want like 1270 to really lay it over. The C4 is 1430, which...

Does it have enough effective edge for your weight? My confidence goes WAY up with EE. Maybe it’s more of a commitment issue, which is completely und...

Those look quite good to me… Doing a J turn isn’t as easy as it looks. I always feel like my 3rd turn is really my first turn (2 setups).

Here’s a paper with the forces that are at play: And freecarvers can start to experience some significant forces:SCR=12mVel...

@skoonk I’m giving you these other perspectives assuming you’ve watched the seminal Secrets vid:

Nicholas Wolken also has a good bit on the hips 3 min in here: There are lots of carvers on YouTube with their hips rotated. It’s easier in a p...

You want to rotate the hips more, especially heelside. Lars demonstrates this around 3min into this video: James has a a whole video on the hip...

Yes, exactly!

Don’t be a poo man!

Breaking at the waist is when you’re not bending toward the nose, but sticking your butt out heel side, folding/breaking at the waist, and sticking yo...

Jasey may not emphasize rotation like James, but he still uses a lot of separation. Watching him carve toe side, he’s usually doing the counter-rotat...

It seemed like that tight splay was very common for old-school racers. I never raced, but in the late 90’s I settled on +18/+15 and rode that for ...

I’ll probably give them a try at some point. I will note that I have way more ankle flexion with my rear foot when I’m riding. On my Rome bindings I...
