Anybody know of any glove that lasts more then ten days?? This season I´ve bought two pair and both are now thrown in the recycling bin... Are there any glove out there that are really good for EC carving?

Hi! After a season of trying Asy vs Sym boards I will try to shortly write down my conclusion. Asy: Easier for alround carving espesially heelside carves. Asy boards initiate much easier. But when your technice is up to it it is as easy to EC with a sym board as with a Asy board. So after testing a ...

Hi I´ve been wondering about asym vs sym boards a long time. I've been riding sym boards for several years but just bought two asym boards to test them, where they better or worse? So last week I rode my F2 GTS 158 -2004 vs Nitro GT 156(asym)1998? :wink: :wink: and a prototype 170 cm asym(10.5 m rad...

HI
I ordered a used Nitro 156 cm, 20 waist. I will compare it to my current board, a F2 Speedster GTS 158. Unfortunately we have no snow on my local slope so I will have to wait two weeks until I can try

Nice to see a lot of conversation on this subject! I´ve just ordered a used assym board. I will compare them and see how much you have to adjust your stance etc. I think I will be able to do a more relaxed EC heelside carve. But we´ll see as soon as I´ve tried it!

I´ve had almost exact the same problem (I reffered to it as wobbling board), on different boards. And the problem was that I didn´t put my weight enough forward. So I moved my bindings to the center, was 2 cm back from center. And I also adjusted my stance so that I now bend my frontleg more and my ...

Yes I forgot to mention that I also use an upright stance on my boots. And for me it helped to change my stance fron 49 to 47 cm as written above.

I think Harald is spot on. But because it is a bit more difficult to load the front on the heel side turn wouldn´t a asym board make it easier? (I would like the same radius on both sides) Anybody tried it recently?
Thanks for all helpful answers

I lean forward toward the nose while doing EC heelcarving turns (or at least trying...) If I look at the EC videos I can also see that they use forward lean to prevent skidding. In my case I think its very hard to obtain a great EC heelside turn because of this. It feel like it would be much easier ...

Hi! When carving om my heelside it feels like I have to lean forward as far as possible to keep my board from skidding(weight distr 60/40). and on toeside I weight my backleg a bit more weight 40/60. Teoretically I would absolutely lova a assymetric board. I´ve understnd that they don´t produce them...

Hi
I just started riding flat with no cants or lift. I went down from 49 to 47 stance witdth (yeah I´m short) I also went from 60/60 degrees to 55/48. It feels actually very good even after just a couple of rides!

Hi Nils! I wonder if you know more about this board. Radius? Is it a SL or GS board? Actually it is the nose of the board that becomes unstable in higher speeds and begins to wander around a bit. The problem is more pronunced at heelside turns. Feels like my weight is to far back on the board. I thi...

Yes the board(Oxygen Krypton 2) is a bit old, around 97 perhaps, but as good as new. I guess the board is a bit stiff for me. Most new board have a tail as wide as the nose or narrover than the nose. But my board has a wider tail than the nose(8 mm). How could this affect my boards performance? And ...

Hi! I wonder if anyone know something about Oxygen Krypton 2. 170 cm. Is it good for Extremecarving? My weight is 64 kg and I have rather small feet. :lol: My second question: When carving in a moderat speed or above, the nose of the board seems unstable and wander around. Could it be the board? Or ...
