@Istvan: thx for help, that's very much like my own guess about the SP and how to handle it. But since this shouldn't be a discussion about F2 boards, I'd like to repeat my question about the effect of the binding position on nose-diving and overall behaviour of the board: correct me if I'm wrong: b...

:) thx for the flowers (dunno if this is used in english too), RicHard. I was not sure if I'm right for nearly a full season and couldn't believe my own judgement but then some friend of mine told me he thought the same of the SP. No freecarver. Good racing stuff, but no freecarver. The bad thing is...

1. to me the SP seems more like a raceboard with no clear purpose than like a designated carving board. The turning radius is not that different from the RS because it's much stiffer, and it's definitely not easier to ride despite from the fact that it needs less speed. If there is any disadvantage ...

correct me if I'm wrong: :?: bindings backwards -> more pressure on rear end of board, more stability, less tendency to nose-diving bindings forward -> more pressure on front end of board, better manoeuvrability, also some tendency to "oversteer", more tendency to nose-diving Did I get it right? wha...

haven't measured it yet but stance could be well over 50 (height 192 cm), rear foot maximum backwards, front foot maybe 3-4 cm still left. I used the marks from my burton fp and transferred them to the F2, maybe stupid but it seemed strange to me to see so little snowboard in front of my feet when l...

Hi, thx to all of you, guess that's what happens when one buys a raceboard and wouldn't use it for racing. And for the Silberpfeil, that's what was my first impression of the board, that the F2 guys missed their aim and built a raceboard for the wrong purpose (maybe some SL/RS bastard) and just name...

Hi Nils, thx a lot for answering so quickly! I ride a 172 Silberpfeil (rather stiff nose) and a 183 F2 RS (soft nose compared to the SP and to the factory prime I had before), Raichle AF 600, Burton Race Physics with rather much heel lift on the back foot, front foot flat. Angles 66/63, have tried l...

Hi to all, I'm a newbie here, but very amazed about this site, so please don't beat me up if I missed the correct thread for my question! I've got some problems with nose-diving on soft slopes, especially on backside turns. When I lay down into the backside turn and don't keep very much concentrated...

Got both 183 RS and 172 Silberpfeil (heigth 192 cm, weight 85 kg). Both boards are ok for carving but the RS is more fun because it offers much more stability at high speeds (16 m sidecut radius!) and is a little bit wider so you need not use 60+ angles. Ok for laid turns because you have very much ...

Erst mal hallo allerseits, bin neu hier, will aber auch mitreden... Folgendes Anliegen hätt ich: Hab festgestellt, daß sich fast alle mir bekannten Carving- und EC-Aktivitäten westwärts des Arlbergs abspielen. Burschen, das sind Minimum 6 Std Autofahrt für mich, während denen ich an ungefähr tausend...
