Are you sure you have adjusted the ACSS correctly, Nextcarve? Screw the upper screw down a bit to limit overbending!nextcarve wrote:In a soft part my snowboard just dug into the snow and was stopped abruptly by a hard spot. I was just catapulted to the front.
Unfortunately the ACSS has no limit for overbending. My ankle joint was compressed hard ...
The accident you described is exactly the sort of problem I occasionally had when riding through fresh moguls before I got the ACSS. Without the ACSS, I always left the forward lean mechanism of my boots open, in order to get enough freedom of movement.
General advice: When riding in soft heavy snow I always make sure to
a) ride very slowly, and
b) keep my knees bent throughout the whole turn
Safe riding!
