Some FLUX models have a swappable asymmetric highback!!!!! ie it’s still the same component, ya can just interchange the left and right to give a different flex pattern!!!!!

You can see it in this pic!!!!!

Oh I see now! From that I’d say the high bit on the outside is for freeride as it will provide more leverage for turn initiations, having it on the inside is freestyle as it allows more movement for tweaks.

Yeah that was my thinking, too.  Will have a bit of a google and see if I can confirm it.

  I was midway through stickering when the wife accused me of being a 20 year-old red face

Did ya tell her she was dropped?????

Yeah I’ve gone +15/-3 on both for now.  I dug out my old stick and it was set at +18/0 (naughty!), so +15/-3 shouldn’t feel like such a huge step. Will tweak when I get to the snow.  I’ve gone second widest stance on the Yes, and a slightly wide stance on the Signal.

Yeah, have rotated the highbacks, and just finished adjusting the straps so they sit right in the middle, and also the foward-lean.  I’m guessing I wouldn’t want to crank too much lean on the freestyle board?  I was midway through stickering when the wife accused me of being a 20 year-old red face

Yeah don’t put much/any forward lean on the freestyle board. You can put a bit on if you want to, but just keep it light. I used to ride freestyle with heaps of forward lean, but since I started into freestyle more I’ve toned it down a lot.

Well I couldn’t find anything useful on google, but I pulled the highbacks off today and the highback that was fixed to the left binding had “R” on it and vice-versa, so I’ve switched ‘em so the R highback is now on the R binding.  Hopefully that’s the right way around for freeride now.
