I just took my first trip out west to Park City, its was unbelievable! I havent been on a board in 10 years but it was like getting back on a bike! A little . I went at it pretty hard the first day, took a couple easy runs and then babied my way down some wimpy diamonds of the payday lift, and pretty much stayed on the blues the remainder of the day. Basically focusing on just carving a staying at a consistent speed. The second day was alot different. I made 2 runs and then the fatigue in my left leg was so bad i thought it be wise to avoid any further strain. I will strength train the legs for next year obviously., but my questions are…. on my frontside turns my heels kept coming a little off the base of the boot I wear a 9.5 the boots felt snug but is this normal? There's alot of great equipment out there today, would it have made a difference in my days if I
Welcome to the forums Harry. Sounds like you had a fun time in the Rockies!”would it have made a difference in my days if I had my own rather the stuff I rented?”Absolutely yes. Yes, yes, YES. There is noting like getting your own boots and not having them “packed out” by other people for the last couple years. Also, you can custom fit your boots with moldable liners (some boots have that) and footbeds (I like “Down Unders” and “Superfeet”). The footbeds help reduce foot movement, and if you are between sizes, you can go to the half size larger and the footbed will take up volume for better fit. They also help reduce ankle and leg fatigue.Look to get a “freeride” or “freestyle/freeride” board for the style of riding you described.
