new to carving

[Stargazer]

hey guys,

I'm pretty new to carving and I 'd like to have some advice.
I bought a Rossignol Slayer board at a sale out in september for 100$ [ I know pretty good deal ] . I'm about 175cm and weigh about 70kg the board is 163cm has a +/-19 cm waist width.

I use it with skiing booth though and the Burton plastic carrier plates.
<b>The question is</b> is there a big difference between skiing boots and board boots and do I get new bindings? personally I feel verry restricted with the skiing boots so I might ask Santa for some new ones .
Does anybody have any experience with this board and wath are the best places to go carving in New England ?

thanks a million guys

Hi Stargazer,
I use ski boots myself. I've tried a pair of hard boots for snowboards and did not find a benefit other than the raised heel and toe ends. My ski boots are well fitted to my foot and I've made sure to get as much flex as I can with the boot. I recently bought a Burton Alp at a very low price. The store was glad to see it go at any price! So my set-up is similar to yours and I am also looking for hard facts about dedicated snowboard hard boots before I move to buy.

Thanks Pistol,


I'm getting used to the ski boot set-up right know and the carves are going very well
I found some boots at a shop on sale for 50$ too bad they were a size too small
Anyway take care and a a happy new year :-0
