Spring carving photos.

It's nice when you start to have more light and sunshine in the spring - even up in the north!

The backside is improving

Happy carving, sunny days left to go.

In the photoes are you using the new ACSS for DeeLuxe?
Also I've bought it but I haven't still used.
How is your setting?

nice board as well ... tomahawk?

Yesss. ACSS and it works like a charm. I have not modified the boots by cutting away plastic, since I haven't felt any need for that.
If you mean setting as ACSS setting, there's really nothing to tell. The springs are quite loose - I like them that way.

The Board is a 177cm Coiler VSR.
It has a slight rocker nose, variable sidecut radius (hence the name VSR) with 3 different sidecuts and sweet titanal layer. Grips really easily

Also I haven't modified the boots by cutting away plastic and also for me the springs are quite loose but on the carpet the feeling seems good.
I mean your setting (binding flat? angles? board width? set-back?).

The center width is 22.5cm and the sidecut radiuses most likely 11.5/14.2/13.2m.
I'm 186cm tall and the stance width as I recall is around 51cm at the moment (had 53.5cm and last season Rey suggested me to narrow it down, which I did for this season and it does help. So remember to listen to the Prophets

)

The bindings are pretty much in the center, but haven't measured what that actually means - so whether there is a setback in the suggested stance.

The angles are what I get from the Fuego test eg. as small as possible with no overhang on either side. As a result, the front and rear angle are the same.

Of course the bindings are flat. It says in the Book that this is the only correct way

So I'm trying to follow the book with a few adjustments; 1) The Board is no longer the Original. 2) I'm using step-ins (lazy me) 3) with the angles, the overhang is the key. But this should be ok if we interpret the Book according to the new Scripts - as Rey said, he actually has smaller angle on the front binding.

Look at that backside rotation in the last picture

, I hope your knees will last

Yeah, Coilers make pretty nice carves

Are you sure?

Yes.

Getting pressure on the cant is the point. And when you have your heels / toes as close to the cant as possible, you get better pressure on the cant, compared to the situation where you have bigger angles

So, you suggest - for example - 45° front and 50° back ? ... or haven't I undertood !
