If you could ride like a pro…

I always wanted to try positive angles on my bindings after watching Terje, Craig, Blauvelt, ride down a mountain. It seems all the best turners have forward stance, but my ankle hurts even if I go -6 so I stick with my most comfortable angle -9.

I always wanted to try positive angles on my bindings.

My standard all-mountain angles used to be +24 F +12 R for many years.

Now I ride +18 F -9 R, but for 5 or so runs every morning in spring 2011 (when the groomed snow’s like concrete first up) I had great fun carving on a super stiff, cambered 164 freeride board with a +33 F +18 R narrow stance. It was a hoot!

If my back ankle is not hurtin with those angle I would definitely try positive angle. Right now +21 -9 is the most comfortable,.

I don’t understand this topic!

It’s the “If” part that confuses me.

Why does the “if” confuses you?  What don’t you understand?

I don’t suck. I ride like a pro. There is no “if i could”!

I’ve help groomed a few pro’s while they were in their younger years. Who all ride better than me now, depends which disciplin of snowboarding also but I ride shoulder to shoulder with pro’s.

I also have the big headed ego of a pro.


Please don’t take me to seriously. I’m half joking.
