Hi. I've been snowboarding a few times and I think I'm a decent rider. I can carve and go down the slopes no problem. I'm currently trying to go off jumps but not quite good at that yet. So I think I'm maybe an intermediate rider? Well, On Nov 16-19, Ski Dazzle is coming to Los Angeles and I'm thinking of bOh one more thing. The other thing I'm confused about buying a snowboard is about your snowboard size calculator. I read guides and they said to buy a snowboard around the chin to nose level. So if I'm 6'2, thats 187.96cm. Around my nose and chin would be around 168-172 ish i estimate, but on the calculator it tells
Ok. Well, I got no replies (you must have been busy) but I went to Ski Dazzle and I bought a board package. It's a Salomon Pulse 2007 163cm. The bindings are Salomon Force and the boots are Salomon Symbio. Well, tell me if I bought a good board for me or not. Thank you.
Sorry allen, had my notification setting disabled on this board — DOH!Welcome to the Frosty Rider forums.I think you got a nice board there. Have you gotten to ride it yet? Can you send a pic of the new setup?
Oh, no problem. Well, Big Bear resorts aren't even fully open. Snow Summit (one of the resorts in Big bear) opened on wed. I'm planning to go this sunday if i get the chance. I'll get a picture of my new setup as soon as possible. I had the bindings put in because I thought it would be complicated and he installed itI am an all-mountain rider and I like +20 and -5 for my angles. You might like somethng like that too. Since you are used to renting, I offer you this tip. Every tome before you go to the mountain, put a screwdriver to your bindings and make sure they are all tight. You would be amazed at how often they can come loose fromOh. So those degrees would be a duck stance right? I heard duck stance puts alot of stress on your back leg and knee? I'm not sure, just wondering. And for rentals, what degrees are most rentals at? I know almost every rental is Burton… well the ones I always got were burton. Alittle more information degrees of the bindiYes, the binding algles I suggested are SLIGHTLY ducked, but it is not what I would consider duck. For example +20 and -20 would be closer to duck. having -3 to -5 angle on the back foot actually feels like straight across, especially from the perspective of the instep of the foot.It might work for you, it might not. Most renThanks alot Frosty. I'll take a screwdriver and try changing my angles if it feels uncomfortable. I'm going tomorrow early in the morning. Hope everything will go smoothly. Ill get back to you on how things went. Thanks for replying so quick.
Hi. The riding was fun. When I had my angles at +21, +9, i realized that I didn't really like it. I did 2 runs from the top of the mountain to the bottom and I had trouble turning to the left (heel side?) from a regular stance. I could still carve decently but I had to put more effort and work into it. After that I changed my
